Meta’s Muse AI Agent Saved Me $800+ a Year on My Bills

Sep 18, 2026· 17 min· 94K views·Watch on YouTube

Peter Yang, the host of his channel, reviews Meta’s Muse personal AI agent and shows how he uses it for bills, messages, habits, research, and bookings.

Negotiating bills

Yang says Muse helped reduce his AT&T bill by $40 per month after switching payment to a bank account, a claimed annual saving of about $480. He also shows Muse calling Xfinity support, where it found a $60 monthly promotional rate and an additional $10 autopay discount. The Xfinity agent still wanted Yang to speak with them directly to get the discount.

Personal setup and connected apps

Yang customizes Muse’s avatar as an animated red panda, though he could not add the extra animations he generated. He highlights connections to Meta services, messaging apps, email, and calendars, and describes using Muse to check messages for items needing follow-up. He also demonstrates searching Facebook Marketplace, listing an iPhone, and messaging a seller about a golf club.

Feeds, goals, and habits

Yang uses Muse to create a morning feed of AI news and topics tied to his projects. Its Goals area turns conversations into a to-do list, and he sets up reminders and daily check-ins to stop bringing his phone to bed and read instead. He says the habit tracker shows his streak, though he had brought his phone to the bedroom two nights in a row.

Research and local plans

Muse suggests tasks based on Yang’s conversations, including inbox triage and bill negotiation. He asks it to compare electric razors using Best Buy product pages, and says he wished it had also consulted review sites such as Wirecutter. He also uses it to find Bay Area concerts, theatre and nearby dinner options, and weekend activities.

Phone calls and overall assessment

Yang calls phone calls on the user’s behalf Muse’s standout feature, describing the Xfinity call as a way to save time researching discounts and navigating phone menus. He says Muse identifies itself as his agent rather than pretending to be him. He presents Muse as his choice for personal tasks while continuing to use ChatGPT for everyday work and Grokbot for cloud-based work tasks.

Takeaways

  • Check whether changing a bill’s payment method or enabling autopay unlocks discounts, and confirm the account details before applying changes.
  • Use a personal agent to gather options and prepare for support calls, while reviewing the terms and handling sensitive information yourself.
  • Turn a goal into scheduled reminders and check-ins so progress is tracked over time.
  • Personalized feeds and proactive task suggestions can help surface useful work without starting from a blank chat.
  • For product comparisons, ask for independent reviews as well as retailer listings.
