User jspeiser shared that Muse was the first AI his wife allowed on her phone. Her #1 goal: clear 163,490 promotional emails sitting in Gmail after years of failed manual attempts, since Gmail always freezes when selecting that many.
Muse took 3 days, hit multiple Gmail rate limits but worked around them, and cleared everything out — impressing a user who otherwise hates AI. A real-world case of an agent completing a long-running autonomous task.
