Agent uses to try
Money & Bills · Meta Muse
Compare car insurance quotes and flag the savings
A startup founder had Muse look for a cheaper car insurance option and said it cut his annual cost by $3,500. Devoy said Muse found coverage that was $3,500 cheaper each year than the plan he had been considering. He described the agent as a killer product. The savings figure comes from his own post and was not independently verified.
Try this prompt
Help me look for car insurance for [vehicle/year/model] in [ZIP code]. My current option costs [annual price] and includes [coverage details]. Find at least three quotes with the same coverage, compare them in a simple table, and show the yearly difference versus my current plan. Do not submit or buy anything yet; pause and ask for my approval before you send personal details, make a payment, or switch policies.
Coding & DevOps · GitHub Copilot
Use Copilot Agent Mode on notebook edits carefully
A user tried Copilot Agent Mode on a large Jupyter notebook and had to revert repeatedly after it damaged the file mid-edit. Each attempt broke more than half of the notebook, so they rolled back the changes every time. After several failures, they abandoned Agent Mode for that task and used Gemini in chat mode instead, which they said worked better for coding help.
Try this prompt
I have a large Jupyter notebook, [file name], and I want you to make these changes: [change 1], [change 2], and add [basic feature]. Edit one cell or section at a time, confirm the notebook still opens and remains valid after each step, and stop to ask for my approval before any broad restructuring, deletion, or other irreversible change. When you finish, summarize exactly what you changed in each section.
Research & Learning · n8n, Gemini
Summarize Reddit discussions into Notion pages
An n8n flow collects Reddit threads, lets Gemini pull out themes, and posts the findings into Notion. The maker tried it with the SkincareAddiction subreddit and says the process finishes from start to finish without any manual work. They did not include throughput or accuracy metrics. Multi-subreddit support and Notion databases are still planned.
Try this prompt
Create an n8n workflow that, on a [schedule/trigger], watches [subreddit or Reddit URL] for fresh posts, collects the thread links, and sends them to [scraping service]. Wait until each capture is ready, then pull the title, comments, and upvotes. Use Gemini to identify the biggest concerns, repeated topics, and useful quotes, then draft a structured report for [Notion page/database name] with fields for [field names]. Before anything is sent, saved, or published, stop and show me a preview for approval. After I approve, write the final page in Notion and include the source URL.
