Users pointed Meta's Muse agent at their finances, giving it access to inboxes and payment details, and let it work in the background. Per the posts reported, it found a book subscription a user's wife had forgotten to cancel and got the money back. Another user said it caught a recurring fraudulent charge their bank had missed. The source gives few mechanics beyond this.
Anecdotes only: the source says none of the savings have independent before-and-after figures, and many posts came from Meta staff. The fraud case and the subscription refund have no dollar amounts.
Muse needs inbox and payment access, and it asks you to approve a purchase total in chat before it pays, so check that step.
Go through my bank and card statements for [date range] in [folder or attached files]. Flag recurring charges that look fraudulent or that I may have forgotten, with merchant, amount and dates. For each one, draft a dispute or cancellation-and-refund message. Show me everything before sending anything, and end with a list of the total amounts at stake.
