A heavy ChatGPT user can't find the job that belongs to OpenAI's Muse

A heavy ChatGPT user shares his confusion after a week with Muse: ChatGPT already holds months of project context and writing preferences — more a year-long coworker than a tool — while Muse pitches itself as agent-first, going off to browse, click, and talk to other apps instead of just handing over a plan.
Yet in daily use he hasn't hit the moment where a task clearly becomes "Muse's job." He asks current users:
- What boring, repeat tasks do you actually hand it — not demo scenarios?
- Was there one job where it clicked as more than another chat box?
- How do you split the two: ChatGPT for thinking/writing and Muse for errands, or is Muse eating into the first bucket?
The thread highlights a common positioning problem for agent products: the boundary with existing AI assistants remains unclear.
