Use case overview
A user said Muse helped avoid upsells and fees at a car dealership, saving $1,250, and another said it found an unused $200 Verizon gift card.
Reported experience
What they did
Users of Meta's Muse agent, as part of Alexandr Wang's #MuseMoneyChallenge, prompted it to review their finances and find savings. Coinbase product manager Nick Prince said Muse helped him dodge dealership upsells and a large fee. Another user said it turned up an unused Verizon gift card. The source gives no detail on prompts or steps.
How it went
Prince reported saving $1,250 at the dealership, and another user reported finding a $200 Verizon gift card. These are self-reported posts, and many challenge posts came from Meta's own staff.
Worth knowing
Amazon blocked Muse from placing orders in its shopping carts, so agent purchasing on some sites may be restricted.

Go through it line by line, flag add-ons, junk fees and upsells I can decline, and write a short script I can use to push back.
