Meta Superintelligence Labs chief Alexandr Wang highlighted a creative 'money-making' use of the Muse agent.
- A user connected Muse to their Instagram and asked it to tune their algorithm toward companies that give away free products in exchange for demo calls.
- Muse signed them up and scheduled the calls automatically; the user just had to show up and feign interest, netting 3 pairs of AirPods and a $200 gift card in one week, with more demos already booked.
- Wang called it 'a pretty creative way for Muse to make you money,' underscoring how personal agents can be pointed at side-hustle arbitrage.
