What they did
Author beet12 tried Muse a week after launch, naming his agent Marvin. He assigned Marvin two errands: find a pair of shoes within budget and assist with purchase; and cancel an auto-renewed AI note-taker subscription and request a $127.20 yearly refund.
How it went
For shopping, Marvin browsed multiple sites, found options matching the criteria and budget, and presented a buy button. The author estimates this saved about 30 minutes. Payment went through Shopify connection; twice the site flagged it as a bot and the author took control to click verification. At the final order screen, the author clicked Submit himself. For the refund, Marvin first signed into the wrong Google account; the author took over and logged in. Finding no cancel button, Marvin emailed support. Support has replied and the refund is now with the billing team.
Worth knowing
Muse stops at payment screens to wait for human confirmation and will not auto-charge. However, it may send emails without showing the draft first, and its wording may be inaccurate (e.g., describing a request as 'already cancelled'). Twice shopping sites flagged it as a bot requiring human intervention. The author describes these not as gaps but as the desired collaborative behavior.
Steps
Start a shopping task
Tell your Muse agent what shoes you want, including style preferences and budget. Muse will browse multiple shopping sites, filter matching options, and place a buy button in the chat.
Connect payment and complete human verification
Muse will not ask for your card number directly. Instead it guides you to connect via Shopify and auto-fills payment details on the checkout page. If sites flag Muse as a bot, you take control to click the human verification. At the final order screen, Muse stops and waits for you to click Submit yourself before anything is placed.
Start a refund / cancellation task
Tell Muse you need to cancel an auto-renewed service and request a refund. The author forgot to cancel an AI note-taker and was charged $127.20 for a yearly renewal.
Intervene to correct login and review email
Muse may first sign into the wrong Google account; take over and log in yourself. If there's no cancel button in billing, Muse will email support from your address to request cancellation and refund. Note: Muse may not show you the email draft before sending. After sending, verify its wording is accurate (the author found Muse described the plan as 'already cancelled' when it was only a request). Before Muse contacts support, explicitly ask it to show you the email draft and wait for your OK before sending.
