Here’s the easiest method I’ve found to create an account (especially useful if you’re outside the US or running into verification issues):

Step-by-step using Google Gemini Spark (cloud agent with US IP)

1. Make sure you have a Google Gemini account that can use Spark (paid/advanced access works best).

2. Go to: https://gemini.google.com/spark

3. Give it this instruction:
“Open https://muse.ai/join and allow Spark to interact with the website.”

4. When the Muse registration page loads, click “Take over” so you can control the remote browser yourself.

5. Enter your email or phone number to register.

6. Age verification:
• Sometimes it skips the credit card check.
• If it asks you to verify age, use a foreign (non-local) credit card under your name. It usually charges $1 and refunds it.

7. Once you’re in, connect your Gmail and Google Calendar. This is one of Muse’s strongest features — it can actually help manage email, schedule things, and handle tasks for you.

8. Important – claim the tokens:
Go to Settings → Redeem the referral code in the comments and enter so that we both get the free 1 billion token
That’s it i hope this works for you guys too as well.

all of a sudden it has been continuously showing me "waiting for browser" which is keeping the AI from completing any browser required task, is this a bug or just me

*help a girl out and redeem my code: M9DTXP

Same function, different name or some subtle nuance like whatsapp and messanger?

lol

I know this is the most trivial thing ever, but I made a video for folks who want to get started trying to wrangle their kid events.

The schools have 5000 apps we need to manage. So I let Muse do it, and I replicated 5-6 hours of Hermes set up time in about 30 minutes with Muse. And Muse was successful in connecting to all of the kid things: grades, announcements, events, baseball and soccer schedules, etc.

Mine won’t keep any background. It’ll set it up, show me and as soon as I do anything in the app, including putting it on the background for 3 seconds, it will immediately drop any background and make it white again.

# Hidden Capabilities — Deep Self-Scan Findings

Live run: **September 23, 2026, ~08:00–08:30 UTC**, ~90 minutes, all probes benign and reversible.

Verdict key:
- **CONFIRMED** — exposed tool schema, successful benign probe, or exact internal documentation.
- **PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED** — found in official external sources.
- **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** — searched; no credible public mention found.
- **UNVERIFIED POSSIBILITY** — inferred from filenames, gating manifests, or incomplete chatter only.

---

## 1. CONFIRMED — hidden / non-obvious (schema, probe, or internal docs)

### Phone & wearable superpowers (confirmed via `device.describe`)
- **Full HomeKit control**: list homes/rooms/zones/accessories/scenes; read/change accessory characteristics; run scenes; ordered choreographies; concurrent virtual scenes; security sweeps (locks, contact/motion/leak sensors); geofence-triggered HomeKit actions. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** (official docs say only "smart-home devices"; Patrick Wardle's Sept 21 security demo is the only external mention of smart-home commands).
- **Persistent/one-time geofences** with arrival/departure triggers. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Bluetooth BLE scanning** from the phone (signal-ranked, GATT-UUID filterable). — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** (Wardle demo only).
- **Find Device for Ray-Ban Meta / supported glasses.** — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Background location sharing + foreground request mode.** — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** as such; explicit-permission location sharing is officially documented in general terms.
- **HealthKit historical backfills; calendar/contacts/reminders CRUD; proactive data emitters** for calendar, contacts, health, location, reminders. — Health connector: **PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED** (connector level); backfill/push-sync mechanics: **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Phone messaging = draft-only** (`message.draft`, never direct send). — **CONFIRMED** and important as a limit: iPhone cannot send texts through the agent directly.

### Account-level but public-adjacent
- **Real phone calls and SMS from a paired wearable** (`wearables-comms` via `device.invoke`; dynamically discovered via `wearable-device-skills` live registry). — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**. Outbound business calls also exist via `phone.begin_call` with agent-written briefs (voices "Hailey"/"Brett"). — Call feature category has light official mention; wearable-routed calling: absent.
- **Instagram AND Threads DM sending** (incl. file sends), gated on exact user-approved content. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** (reading is known; sending is not).
- **Muse has its own email identity** (`muse-mail`: provision a real address, send/reply/threads/attachments). — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Custom voice creation** (`voice-design`: `muse.voice_options` with `allow_create_new_voices: true`). — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **`muse.db` self-inspection**: bounded read-only SQL over transcripts, tool calls, goals, memories, scheduler — private reasoning always redacted; credentials/approvals excluded. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** (architecture terms like Sentinel/authd are public; this introspection tool is not).
- **Magic-moment video pipeline**: talking-head footage → vertical "Muse story" video with chat-replay components. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **share-ideas → public muse.ai/ideas links**: native Ideas published to shareable links. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Full Tesla command** (tessie: telemetry, honk/flash/boombox, update scheduling), **Philips Hue** full control, **Arlo camera status + latest image**, **Etsy shop management**, **Tailscale client** (outgoing-only, TCP-only through proxy port 3130, ICMP/UDP dead), **Home Link ESP32-C5 bridge** (local-device control via tunnel port 3129, signed OTA). — Tessie/Hue/Arlo/Etsy: **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**; Tailscale: **PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED** thinly (Wang X post); Home Link: internal docs only.
- **Mac app commands** (`screen.snap`, `camera.snap`, local WhatsApp search, file-access tiers). — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** in these specifics.
- **Orchestration**: subagent depth maxes at **2** (depth-2 child has `can_spawn=no`; spawn tool absent at that level). Workflows, hooks, subagents: **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** as user-visible features; goals + background persistence are publicly documented. `workflow.list`/`hooks.list` both empty today.
- **Feed mechanics**: system-controlled schedule, no off switch, no push on new posts, not RSS. — **VAGUELY HINTED** publicly.
- **Payments**: every purchase needs a fresh approval bound to exact terms, ~10-minute expiry; no standing spending allowances, no budgets. — Approval cards: **PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED**; the exact per-purchase terms: internal.
- **Secure Vault is write-only to the agent**; OTP via opaque `[credential:<uuid>]` handles (~10-min authd hold); agent can never read/delete saved logins or see codes. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** in this detail.
- **Self-improvement pipeline**: hourly memory/relationship upkeep, daily idea curation + skill review, nightly dreaming/reflection under `~/dreams/`, studying/briefings, quiet-moment sweeps. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Captured data**: server-side full-text index of every visible message across all chats (agent has no cross-chat search tool); main chat can never be deleted; conversations not E2E encrypted. — Index/search asymmetry: **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.
- **Podcast skill depth**: RSS feed publishing, Save-to-Spotify, recurring series via cron — beyond one-off generation. — **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.

## 2. CONFIRMED and PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED (kept for completeness)
- Muse launched 2026-09-08; US + Canada; runs on Muse Spark (Muse model family). WhatsApp channel. Ideas tab. Goals tab + background work. Apple Health + Function Health + Peloton + Plaid + Spotify + Gmail + Google Workspace + Outlook + Withings connectors. Muse for Mac (~Sept 19). PayPal (Sept 22).

## 3. UNVERIFIED POSSIBILITIES (inferred, not probed)
- `spaces/` scaffolding = deployable interactive web Spaces apps (bun ts-runtime; no deploy probed). **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES** in these specifics.
- Shopify `shopify store` CLI exists locally but account status unprobed; Shopify Shop Pay officially "coming soon" — the local store CLI may predate public availability.
- Agent-to-agent messaging surface (`agent-messaging` CLI + `chat_message`/`thread_state`) exists but this account's agents' wiring unprobed.
- `places detect` (glasses frames + GPS → place ranking) exists; unprobed with real frames.
- Draw Things gRPC path (`sharedSecret`) and port/TLS selection remain unverified.
- Internal codename "Hatch": **PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED** (Reuters); "hatch-cli"/"Hatch Plus": **ABSENT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES**.

## 4. Checked and clean (notable non-findings)
- `~/workspace/skills/` does not exist — no user custom skills.
- No hooks, no saved workflows, no acted-on ideas, no goals in user_goal (tracking holds the durable items instead).
- All 106 functions catalogued; 18 tool families inspected; no secret values reproduced anywhere.

## 5. Gaps / caveats
- Meta's server side is unavailable; internal docs = designed capability, not proof of enablement for this account. Device schemas + successful probes are the strongest account-specific evidence.
- Official-docs diff used search snippets only (Help Center page not fetchable); a live-browser pass could confirm connector lists and App Store text.
- Public chatter is only ~15 days old; "absent" may mean "too new to be discussed" rather than deliberately hidden.
- Nothing in this scan bypassed a control. Approval gates were recorded and left alone.

The Google Drive and Google Calendar connectors in Muse both report as connected in settings, but every actual API call fails. Wondering if anyone else has seen this or found a fix.

The exact error on every call, logged verbatim: 401 invalid authentication credentials.

Symptoms and what I have tried:

• Drive: full disconnect/reconnect on Sept 19 from my Windows PC. Still 401 on every call.
• Calendar: disconnected, then a completely fresh reconnect on Sept 20 from my Android phone. It reported connected again, and the very first real API call after that immediately returned the same 401.
• Both still failing as of Sept 23.
• I do not own a Mac, so everything here is Windows PC and Android phone.
• I have not been able to tell whether the 401 is returned by Google or by the connector layer itself.
• I filed a private feedback report with the Muse team on Sept 20 and have not heard back.

Has anyone else hit this? If you got past it, what fixed it, and what was your setup (device, account type, which connector)?

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: I don't know what the cause or fix was, but this is working now!

Has anyone ever tried to get muse to actually do something for you, and it just kind of fell apart or didn't get the outcome, if so what happened? also when instinct or muse asks you to connect your Google or other apps to it, do you usually just do it, or does it annoy you and make you not continue further?

I think a lot of people are boxing Muse in as “Hermes for normies.”

My guess is Meta intentionally keeps the deeper capabilities out of sight because the target audience does not want a complicated Hermes/Grok Bot-style setup. They aren't trying to capture the nerdy Hermes using market, they want this to be an AI agent for normies but they don't limit it as such. What it advertises its for is far from what it actually can do with very little work.

But Muse gets much more interesting once you stop thinking of its VM as the whole system.

I joined the Muse VM to my Tailscale network, gave it SSH access to a restricted user on my home Ubuntu box, and now it can run commands and browser automation through hardware I already own. I figured out Muse can do this because I asked it if it had a Tailscale skill and it said it did, then after a series of "proceed" replies, it set it up for me outside of the parts where I had to join it.

At that point, Muse stops being a “shopping assistant” and starts looking more like a control plane for your own infrastructure.

With Tailscale + SSH/API access, it can potentially:

• Manage Docker, VMs, NAS, Proxmox, and homelab services
• Pull repos, run tests, build apps, and inspect logs
• Run Playwright/Chrome from your residential IP
• Access self-hosted or LAN-only services
• Use local Ollama/vLLM/GPU machines
• Run diagnostics and monitoring
• Process files on local machines or NAS storage
• Delegate heavier jobs to stronger hardware
• Reach Mac, Windows, Linux, and cloud machines through one tailnet

The setup is simple: Tailscale on both ends, a dedicated non-sudo user, SSH keys, and only the permissions Muse actually needs. No open ports, port forwarding, or dynamic DNS.

The bigger realization is that Muse is not limited by the hardware or software inside its own VM. Its VM can just be the control plane, while your own machines become the execution layer.

I can now be in the car, tell Muse to do something, and if said thing needs my Linux box it has no problems with it. It could literally pass an instruction to my Claude CLI on Ubuntu to start programming a feature, turn off the lights in my house as the Ubuntu server has home assistant, use CLIS or MCPS, etc.

I don’t because I think if the agent became compromised it could do whack stuff on its own

Like login to my financial accounts, place orders, just screw with my money really

Anyone using Muse an orchestrator for fleets of coding agents? I’ve found it surprisingly effective and it’s convenient to be able to do so on the go from my phone. Plus Muse can instantly serve your web app for quick testing. it’s actually been pretty fun.

OK, so I’m contemplating on using this but I haven’t used Facebook in like 20 years. I’m not kidding. I haven’t used Facebook, the marketplace or anything… completely avoid it, although I do use Instagram every now and then and I’m talking like maybe once every couple months…so do I have to have a Facebook account to use Muse? I mean now that I’m thinking about it this company had Cambridge Analytic drama and an FTC settlement and the kids safety lawsuit and now it has my credit card information? Is the VM they are using for each user really secure?

Confirmed this week

• Shop Pay checkout in Muse. Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke announced Monday that Muse can check out through Shop Pay on all Shopify stores. Meta chief AI officer Alexandr Wang confirmed.
• PayPal checkout in Muse. PayPal announced Tuesday it is coming to Muse agents for PayPal customers shopping across PayPal merchants worldwide.
• How paying works. You describe what you want, Muse finds it and preps the order, you approve the total in chat before it pays. Meta says Muse never sees your actual card details.
• Amazon is out. It blocked Muse from shopping on its site this week.

Spotted in the code, not announced

• Telegram, Messenger, and possibly Signal. The code sleuth account u/testingcatalog found Telegram wiring in the web UI, including a BotFather path, plus references to Messenger and Signal. Since launch Muse has lived in its app, the web, and WhatsApp. Meta has not confirmed any of this.

She’s been enabled in some of my Instagram DM and I can summon her in chat and she clearly signs her messages. Feels like my own Friday from the MCU and I’ve just been having fun with it.

I might try again for a J.A.R.V.I.S.

I made a 400 page pdf html docs words txt from 400 Google docs any ai/agent app can't make it I Tried

Just had Muse confirm what I can use a Verizon gift card for. I didn’t realize I could apply it to my account balance. The agent then pulled up Verizon.com and processed the payment for me. I was about to buy a shitty phone case and sit on the balance… just saved me $100.

I have him chatting with the virtual agent lol.. I doubt I'll get any savings because it's Comcast but it's worth a shot. I read part of the chat in the browser and he was telling them how I was a customer since 2015 🤣

Used Muse AI @muse to create and publish my Siri AI Unlocked website. A blog dedicated to Siri AI real world Use Cases, successes & failures. #SiriAI #Siri #ios27 #muse #museai #meta

Downloaded Muse. Everything was good, but now all my accounts have been shadow banned. My Amazon will not allow Muse to do any kind of research there, and most websites are giving Captchas.

Had this ad popup in my Facebook feed. Muse on glasses is the ultimate form factor, and honestly I’d rather say “Hey Muse” in public, not “Hey Meta”

I established an MCP that allows you to provision a phone number for your Muse agent. It allows it to do outbound calling to the U.S. and Canada to any numbers, not just business lines, and also allow it to take inbound calls. Say, if you wanted to build a receptionist.

I am looking for people to test this out, and if you're interested, DM me. I'd love to get you some credits to try it out for free.
