The reporter told Meta's Muse agent, which runs on its own virtual computer with a browser, to find ways to save money. He connected it to apps and services and gave it the permissions it needed. Muse searched on its own and flagged possible actions. He checked each suggestion himself before acting on it.
Muse flagged some Patreon and Substack subscriptions he might not want, plus a cheaper phone plan based on newly released data plans. Useful savings came to about $35, or 3.5% of the $1,000 target.
Muse needs broad access to your accounts to be useful. Verify its suggestions before acting, and expect savings to depend on how much forgotten spending you actually have.
Here are my last [three] months of bank and card statements: [attach files]. Find all recurring charges and subscriptions, list them with monthly cost and last use if you can tell, and highlight the ones that look unused or duplicated. Then compare my [phone or internet] plan at [current price] with cheaper alternatives, and give me a total of realistic monthly savings. Don't cancel anything yourself.
