You don’t have to hand over payment access on day one. Let it work read-only for a while first — email, calendar, research — and only connect the payment rails once you’ve seen it handle the small stuff well. Earning the wallet is the trust ladder.

Muse has a Feed tab that works like a personal daily briefing. Tell it your beats — “running news, new AI tools, and what’s happening in Culver City” — and it lines them up each morning.

Not ready to give your calendar entirely over to Muse yet? Totally fair. Start here instead: just ask for the events you want as a calendar file (.ics) — the kind you add to your calendar yourself. You see everything before it goes in, and nothing connects to anything until you say so.

Start with something low-risk: a reminder, a file summary, a calendar question. Judge the result before you hand it anything that matters. Small wins build the trust for big tasks.

Tap the lightbulb in the app and Muse suggests things to try, grouped by theme — triaging your inbox, planning a trip, tracking it live. It’s the fastest way to see what an agent actually does.

Open with the basics: your name, your timezone, and how you like answers — ‘keep it short’ works. Muse saves these as memories and applies them to every conversation. You can even rename it or change its tone just by asking.

Connect your calendar first, then email as read-only. Watch it work for a week before you let it send anything on your behalf. Read-only is training wheels; you’ll know when to take them off.

While you’re learning, set permissions to ‘Always ask’ so Muse checks with you before doing anything. When it asks for approval, ‘Allow once’ is the safest answer. Widen the lane once you’ve seen how it drives.
