2. Subscription audit
The job: Find every recurring charge across your statements — including duplicates and forgotten trials — and build a cancel list.
Review my last 3 months of card and bank statements. List every recurring subscription or membership charge: merchant, amount, frequency, and first-seen date. Flag duplicates (same service charged twice) and anything that looks like a free trial that converted. Present it as a table with a "recommended action" column: keep, cancel, or investigate. Don't cancel anything — just report.
🔌 Needs: Bank account — connect in the Muse app first (setup guide).
What Muse will do:
- Review your last 3 months of card and bank statements
- List every recurring charge: merchant, amount, frequency, first-seen date
- Flag duplicates and free trials that converted to paid
- Present a table with a recommended action: keep, cancel, or investigate
- Report only — cancel nothing without you
Why it works: explicit scope (3 months), explicit output format (table), explicit authority limit (report only). This was one of Meta's own launch examples.
Common failures:
- Annual plans hide in 3 months of data — run a 12-month pass once a year
- Family members' charges look like duplicates — confirm the cardholder first
- Trial conversions need the signup date — note it down when you start a trial
Prompt variations:
- Re-run quarterly to catch new subscriptions early
- Add a cost-per-year column to make the total impossible to ignore
