6. Dinner party planner

The job: Hosting Saturday. Muse suggests a menu, remembers everyone's dietary restrictions, and sends the invites.

I'm hosting dinner for [6] on [Saturday at 7pm]. Guests: [names]. Dietary restrictions you should remember: [Sara — vegetarian, Mike — nut allergy]. Suggest a 3-course menu that works for everyone, make a shopping list, and draft invitations. Show me the menu and invite text for approval before sending anything.

What Muse will do:

  1. Suggest a 3-course menu that works for every guest
  2. Remember each guest's dietary restrictions
  3. Build the shopping list
  4. Draft the invitations
  5. Show menu and invites for approval before sending

Why it works: this is Meta's own launch example — memory (dietary restrictions) + planning + drafting, with approval gates on the irreversible steps.

Common failures:

  • Forgotten restrictions ruin the menu — list every dietary need explicitly in the prompt
  • Wrong date or time on invites — always approve the draft before anything sends
  • Guest count changes break the shopping list — confirm the headcount first

Prompt variations:

  • Turn it into a potluck coordinator that assigns dishes to guests
  • Add a day-of cooking timeline working backward from dinner time
  • Reuse the same structure for holiday meals with bigger guest lists
