What you'll make

Your own agent identity, a reusable briefing prompt and one checked schedule.

Muse is Meta’s personal AI agent. Give it a task, connect only what it needs, and check the result before scheduling it.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants a repeatable research, inbox or reporting routine without coding.

    Give it one clear, low-risk job

    Working asset
    Name and communication style

    Adaptable setup prompt. The name is yours to choose.

    Name and communication style

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Call yourself [agent name]. Be direct, warm and evidence-first. No flattery or invented numbers. Say when you do not know. Keep drafts as drafts unless I explicitly approve an action.

    A safe first task

    Adaptable example. Use a public article you can read yourself.

    A safe first task

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    GOAL: Summarise this public article: [article URL].
    GOOD OUTCOME: Three accurate takeaways with the source link and publication date.
    LIMITS: Do not invent facts or take any action on my accounts. If you cannot open the article, say so.
    FORMAT: Three short bullets in this chat.
    DEADLINE / RHYTHM: Once, now.

    The reusable prompt structure
    The reusable prompt structure

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    GOAL: What I want, in one sentence.
    GOOD OUTCOME: What “done” looks like, and how I will check it.
    LIMITS: What NOT to do, send, post, buy, or invent.
    FORMAT: Exactly what to deliver (file type, length, where it goes).
    DEADLINE / RHYTHM: Once, or every day / week at a time, in my timezone.

    Choose your briefing prompt

    1. Copy one prompt and replace the highlighted text. Keep the evidence labels unchanged. Run it once before scheduling.
    2. For account or inbox reports, connect the app or supply an export. Check the report’s sources and numbers.

    Morning briefing

    Find up to three fresh ideas, then develop only the strongest. Needs your account data and selected sources.

    Morning briefing

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Act as my briefing agent for [my niche / account].
    Research, fresh today: (1) [platform 1] posts from the past 7 days,
    (2) [platform 2] posts, (3) original announcements from the past
    72 hours, official sources first.
    First, pull my last 7 days of account totals and my last 10 posts.
    Compute today's median likes and comments from those posts, state
    it, and use that median for every breakout judgement — do not
    reuse a stale median.
    Pick up to 3 findings, ranked. For each: what is new, why my
    audience cares, evidence with a direct link exactly as returned,
    and an original angle — not a copy.
    Develop ONLY the best idea into: a concept, one recommended hook,
    a complete 45–60 second script in my voice, a short shot list,
    prep needed, and ONE specific call to action.
    Rules: do not post, like, comment, follow, or make live account
    changes for me. Do not invent numbers, links, or capabilities.
    Post rows are likes/comments only — never assign account views,
    reach, saves, or shares to a single post.
    Label every recommendation [account data] / [official guidance
    with date and source] / [observed reference] / [hypothesis to test].
    Deliver: a designed PDF, 2–3 airy pages, visual-first, with
    selectable text and clickable links.

    Night briefing

    Compare with a morning briefing already in this chat. Bring that report into context first; use the same read-only limits.

    Night briefing

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Compare today with this morning's briefing. Research ONLY what
    changed since that edition across [platforms] and official
    announcements. Pick up to 3 findings, or say plainly if little
    changed and name the most useful existing priority instead.
    Recommend ONE next move for tomorrow, with the prep that unblocks
    it. Frame it as preparation for tomorrow, not a same-day post.
    Before recommending a hero, check for a collision: is a post
    already scheduled tomorrow on the same idea or format? If drafts
    cannot be listed, say so — never claim an all-clear you cannot
    verify. Same read-only, no-invention, and basis-label rules as
    the morning briefing. Deliver a 2-page designed PDF.

    Weekly insight report

    Review your data and choose one thing to repeat, one to stop and one main idea for next week.

    Weekly insight report

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Analyse my [account] for the past 7 days, fresh data only.
    Start with a fresh median (middle post, not average) from my
    last 10 posts, and use it for every breakout judgement.
    Report account totals separately from individual posts: post
    rows are likes/comments only — never assign account views,
    reach, saves, or shares to a single post.
    Tag every post by format, hook, and call to action, and report
    medians BY format. Sample comments for quality: vote / question /
    correction is signal; prompt-request-dominated is engagement
    bait, not proof an idea worked.
    End with ONE repeat, ONE kill, and ONE hero for next week.
    Include a plain-words glossary on page 1 (define median, and
    every format term you use) and real thumbnails for top posts
    where available. Deliver a designed PDF, visual-first, and
    check every page as an image before delivering: no orphan
    headings, no cramped pages, no overlapping chart labels.

    Trend check

    Look for independent examples, not just one popular post. Missing metrics stay unknown.

    Trend check

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Find up to 3 trends in [my niche] from the past 7 days.
    A trend needs at least 2 independent creators — one strong
    post is a reference, not a trend. Prefer independent creators;
    label brand/official posts [brand/official] and seeded or
    partnership posts [seeded/partnership].
    For every example: creator, date, follower count, likes/comments,
    a direct link exactly as returned, and a short comment sample
    labelled vote/question/correction or prompt-request-dominated.
    Judge by breakout relative to account size, not raw likes.
    If there is no genuine trend, say so plainly.

    Inbox summary

    Use a connected inbox or a redacted export. Summaries and replies remain drafts.

    Inbox summary

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Summarise new emails since [last summary] in three buckets
    only: (1) new collaborations, (2) invoice / payment updates,
    (3) [your key project] messages.
    For each: sender, date, what they actually asked for, what is
    missing (fee, timeline, usage, brief), and the next step — draft
    only, never send without my approval.
    Verify send-state before reporting a thread: a draft is not a
    sent email. Do not invent a reply, a rate, or a deadline.

    Research with sources

    Start with a topic and original sources. This is a useful option without connecting private accounts.

    Research with sources

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Research [topic] for my next video/post. Show the original
    source link and publication date for every claim, explain what
    is genuinely new, and suggest one thing I can actually
    demonstrate on camera. Avoid generic news summaries.
    Check official sources first, then secondary reporting.
    Vendor claims and leaderboards are secondary, never proof.

    Schedule only a prompt that works

    1. Set the time, timezone and frequency using the prompt below.
    2. Open your agent’s clock tab. Check the next run, then check the first delivered report. Edit an existing task instead of creating duplicates.

    Schedule the checked report

    Use this after testing a briefing, not as a standalone research prompt.

    Schedule the checked report

    Replace the highlighted text with your own.

    Use the briefing prompt we just tested. Schedule it [every day / chosen weekdays] at [time] in [timezone]. Deliver the PDF in this chat with at most one short line of summary.
    Do not send, post, buy or change my accounts. If a required source is unavailable, say what is missing; do not invent a result.
    Before creating anything, check for an existing schedule for this job. Show me the proposed task, next run and timezone so I can check them.

  8. 08

    Give each report a clear look

    Add the design prompt to your report request. Check the PDF’s text, layout and links before sharing.

    Cropped section from a supplied morning briefing PDF, with a recommended hook and a timed script table. Account statistics and identifying headers are excluded.

    Report design instructions

    Add to a tested report prompt when you want these styles.

    Report design instructions
    Format the report as a readable PDF. Use the style for its edition:
    MORNING: paper #FDF8F0, ink #1A1A1A, coral #E85D3D, deep green #1E4D3B.
    NIGHT: full-page #0A1A33, body #E8EEF8, sky #7DD3FC, lavender #C4B5FD.
    WEEKLY: paper #F6F7F2, faint grid #DDE2DC, navy #14375A, steel #2F5D8A, ochre #C07A1A.
    Use a serif heading face and a clean sans-serif body face. For a web version, use system serif and sans-serif equivalents. Keep text selectable and source links clickable.
    Keep pages airy, with no duplicate headings or decorative charts. Label any sample data SAMPLE. Render and inspect every page for clipped text, overlapping labels and contrast before delivering.
    Deliver the PDF with at most one short line in chat.

    Try the first-week checklist

    Optional: copy this checklist into your notes. Keep the routine that helps.

    Working asset
    First-week checklist

    A planning checklist, not a promise that you must finish setup in a fixed time.

    First-week checklist
    [ ] Day 1: Name the agent, review permissions and test one low-risk task. Connect only what that task needs.
    [ ] Day 2: Run a morning briefing once and correct it.
    [ ] Day 3: Compare a night briefing with the morning report.
    [ ] Days 4–6: Try one other useful job. Keep the one that helps.
    [ ] Day 7: Review the week. Choose one repeat, one thing to stop and one main idea.
    [ ] Schedule only the report that worked. Check its next run and first delivered result.

Before you use it

Final checks

  • Keep drafts, scheduled work and sent messages distinct. Check action details before approving a send, post or purchase.
  • Connected apps do not expose every feature or metric. Check your account’s available tools and supply missing data yourself when appropriate.
  • Screens and plan limits can change. The avatar screenshots show the app on 28 October 2026; check your own screen for other controls.
