A user asked the Muse AI agent to buy a big order of dishes as a test; Muse dug up a 20% discount code in a Reddit thread, tested it, and saved him $500 — unprompted. The author spins off a product idea: a Shopify app to find forgotten still-active discount codes, hinting at '0day discount exploits' sitting in every store.
