Agent uses to try
Coding & DevOps · Claude Code
Move WordPress posts into MDX files
Pauline used Claude Code to pull a WordPress archive into MDX and sort it into year folders. The transfer finished in roughly 4 hours and covered 367 posts plus 5 pages. Older entries with malformed image tags caused the build to fail, and Claude repaired those issues in bulk using a regex-based pass over the directory.
Try this prompt
Collect all posts and pages from [WordPress site URL] using the REST API, convert each entry into an MDX file with frontmatter for [title/date/slug/tags/other fields], and save the files in [folder path] grouped by year. If you run into rate limits, encoding issues, or build errors from old HTML, stop and tell me what failed. Before any irreversible action like overwriting, deleting, sending, or submitting, show me the proposed change and wait for my approval. Finish by reporting how many posts and pages you converted and which items still need manual cleanup.
Money & Bills · Meta Muse
Let an agent negotiate bills and cancel subscriptions
A Meta employee used Muse to cut bills, handle returns, and cancel a forgotten subscription. The employee said the combined savings came to $2,120.95. Amazon would not let Muse place cart orders, citing its own terms, so some retailer actions can be blocked.
Try this prompt
Help me cut costs and clean up recurring charges. Review my [provider] bill of [amount], look for any discounts or retention offers, and draft a message to request a lower rate. Check my accounts for forgotten subscriptions such as [subscription name] and identify any returns or claims I may be able to file. Before you cancel, submit, pay, or send anything, pause and show me the exact action for approval. Then summarize what I would save and what was completed.
Travel & Bookings · Gemini
Compare hotels and download tax forms in Chrome
A tester used Gemini in Chrome to compare Lisbon hotel options and save payroll tax PDFs from logged-in portals. The hotel search finished in about six minutes and surfaced three candidates, but it did not make a reservation. It also downloaded four tax documents. A grocery checkout test reached an 18-item cart, included two items from the wrong brand, and paused for approval before payment.
Try this prompt
In Chrome, help me research [number] hotel options in [city] for [date range] with a budget of [price] per night. Check [site 1], [site 2], and [site 3], and compare price, location, rating, and cancellation rules. Then, if I tell you to, sign into [portal name] and download my [form type] for [year], listing each file you saved. If any login, verification, purchase, or submission is needed, stop and ask me before continuing.
