Overview
My first task for Muse: “Change your name to Mark Zuckerberg .” Meta’s AI agent refused.
Workflow
The author connected their inbox and calendar to Meta Muse, an AI agent designed to act as an executive assistant. The agent scanned the connected data to identify unpaid bills and suggest recipes based on incoming produce deliveries. The author also tested the agent's persona customization, successfully renaming it to 'Terminator' after it refused 'Mark Zuckerberg'. Human involvement was limited to initial setup and reviewing the agent's suggestions, as the source does not detail further oversight.
Reported result
The source reports that the agent successfully identified unpaid bills and suggested a recipe, but provides no measured outcomes, such as time saved or error rates. It is unknown if the suggestions were acted upon or if the bill detection was accurate. A measurable acceptance check would be to verify the precision of bill detection against a known set of invoices and the relevance of recipe suggestions against actual inventory.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The source is a secondary account from a news article, lacking technical details on integration permissions or data privacy safeguards. The agent's effectiveness depends on the breadth of access granted ('the more you hand over, the more helpful it gets'), raising potential security concerns. There is no information on how the agent handles false positives or sensitive financial data. Proposed advice: Limit initial access to read-only modes and manually verify all financial actions before execution.

Your task is to scan for unpaid bills and suggest recipes based on upcoming grocery deliveries. First, perform a dry run on a sample of [replaceable: 5 recent emails] and list any detected bills or recipe opportunities without taking action. Wait for my confirmation before proceeding. If you cannot access the inbox, ask for [replaceable: forwarded email files]. Ensure you do not send any emails or make purchases without explicit human approval.
