40. The 24-hour errand day
📣 Real-user report — shared publicly by a Muse user, not independently verified.
The job: Nicolas Bustamante gave his Muse agent a plain list of the day's errands and let it run: it bought socks, ordered Whole Foods groceries, booked a cleaning service, and picked a burger for dinner — all within 24 hours. The underlying pattern is the real case here: one message with the day's to-do list, and the agent grinds through it while you do something else.
Here's my errand list for today, in order: 1. [item to buy, e.g. black ankle socks] 2. [groceries needed this week] 3. [service to book, e.g. apartment cleaning Friday] 4. [dinner — pick something under $X] Handle them one by one. Choose the cheapest sensible option each time. Do not place any order or booking over $[50] without asking me first. When done, report what you did and what each item cost.
What Muse will do:
- Write the day's errand list in one message
- Set a per-item spending cap that needs approval
- Let the agent work through the list in order
- Review the receipt summary at the end
Why it works: Errands are the perfect agent workload: each one is simple, but together they eat an afternoon of tabs, forms, and checkout flows. Batch them into one list and the agent's patience becomes your free time.
