1. Flight price watcher
The job: You know roughly when you want to fly, but not whether today's price is good. Muse watches the route and alerts you at your target price.
Watch round-trip flights from [SFO] to [Tokyo] for [Dec 18 – Jan 4]. Alert me the moment any reputable airline drops below [$650]. Check twice a day. When you find one, hold the fare if possible and ask me before booking — never book without my approval.
What Muse will do:
- Search round-trip fares on your route twice daily
- Compare every fare against your target price
- Alert you the moment a reputable airline drops below it
- Hold the fare if the airline allows it
- Ask before booking — never book without your approval
Why it works: a standing goal with a numeric trigger. Muse keeps working in the background and only interrupts you when the condition hits — that's the whole point of an agent.
Common failures:
- Vague date ranges cause missed deals — always give exact travel dates
- No price target means no trigger — set a concrete dollar threshold
- Some fares can't be held — confirm hold eligibility before relying on it
- Flash-sale prices move fast — treat the alert as a nudge and check promptly
Prompt variations:
- Track one-way fares for open-jaw trips instead of round-trips
- Watch premium-cabin fares with a higher target threshold
- Monitor a backup route and compare which drops first
