Buying
Finding the thing, putting it in the cart, paying for it. Below are 15 recorded examples of people doing exactly this with a messaging agent, with what each one shows and where it came from.
15 examples
A user let Muse run a Facebook Marketplace sale. Its first prompt offered 'Allow One Time' or 'Allow Always'; he chose Always, expecting it still to ask before accepting offers, and it did not. It messaged buyers from a template that included the pickup address he had given it. It also accepted a $600 offer against his $700 floor: Meta told him a display error dropped the 7, so the buyer read 'Sounds good, 00 it is!' as a yes. He went through the log with the Muse team and says the buyer came back and bought something else.
Why it is notable
The approval prompt is where it went wrong, and the user says so: one tap on 'Allow Always' turned an agent that asks into one that sends, to strangers, with his address. Meta's own pages name emails and purchases as the actions Muse confirms first; selling on someone's behalf to people who never agreed to talk to an agent is not on that list. His suggestion afterwards, a 'Sent by Muse' badge on every message, is the third-party disclosure question this directory records and almost nothing answers.

A product manager at Privy asked Instinct to order her a coffee. It paid with a stablecoin debit card she had generated from her employer's card components and saved to her Stripe Link account, which she calls agentic commerce on stablecoin rails, managed from iMessage.
Why it is notable
The agent did not know the card was unusual: it saw a card in Link and used it. That is the point of the post and the reason it is filed with the employer named: the rail underneath a purchase can be swapped without the agent, the merchant or the messaging app noticing, and the person demonstrating it works for the company that makes the rail. A coffee, one purchase, three screenshots.

A user in Seoul who does not speak Korean well had Muse buy a cake for his wife from an independent Instagram shop she likes. The ordering was the easy part; paying as a foreigner was not, and he went back and forth between Muse and KakaoTalk with the seller until they found a payment method that worked. He says it would have been better if Muse could have paid her directly, and that he is bullish on personal agents for travel.
Why it is notable
The first sighting of the agent as a go-between across a language, and the first where the failure is the payment rail rather than the agent: the shop was reached through Instagram, which Muse sits inside, and the money still had to leave for another app. He works at Tempo, the payments company, which is not the Tempo listed here, and his wish for a direct payment is his employer's product.

A marketing lead testing both agents has split them by job: Instinct runs her calendar, email triage, the children's schedules and meal planning; Muse runs everything to do with social media, organising, basic editing and analysis for an Instagram account, and her shopping. She says it did a style and colour analysis, found what was missing from her wardrobe using her bookmarks and Instagram search, and helped her buy the pieces, a full refresh in a day.
Why it is notable
A person keeping both, with a reason for each, rather than a switch: the life admin to the one that acts first, the shopping to the one already inside the account where her bookmarks and searches live. The wardrobe is the second outside account of Muse buying clothes end to end; the earlier one was a jacket.

His wife wanted chocolate cake and did not trust the agent to choose. He had her pick one herself and sent his Muse to find the best; they chose the same cake, and Muse ordered it.
Why it is notable
A trust test run in a kitchen, with the sceptic's choice as the control, and the smallest purchase on the record. It says more about how households adopt these products than a larger order would.

Muse shopped for a garage freezer to a required spec, found the best price, ordered it, tracked the delivery and submitted the warranty registration. The user watched every step and had to enable a few more permissions along the way.
Why it is notable
The whole life of a purchase, through to the registration card nobody fills in, and a user who says he watched each step before deciding he could trust it. The permissions he had to enable are the approval model, seen from the user's side.

One line: Muse completed a Ticketmaster purchase where Instinct had failed.
Why it is notable
Ticketmaster is the checkout with the most bot defence in consumer commerce, so the outcome is a fact about which agent's browser gets through, not about taste. A single line from a user, with no detail, and recorded as exactly that.

A founder asked Muse to renew his US passport online. It did most of the work and handed the browser to him for the parts that needed him, the social security number and the photo. It also booked flights for two on Amex Travel end to end, with seat selection, loyalty and Known Traveler numbers, which he says no agent had managed before. Posted in reply to Meta's chief AI officer's $1,000 challenge, so it is an entry in the vendor's frame as well as a sighting.
Why it is notable
Two things people ask about are in one post: what the agent hands back (the number and the photo) and how far a booking goes (seats and traveller numbers). Filed with the campaign frame.

A healthcare founder's first use: Muse found a cheaper way to get his medication, texted the clinic to have the prescription sent to the right pharmacy, ordered it, and is set to reorder before it runs out.
Why it is notable
Four steps in one job, one of them a message to a third party on his behalf, and the last a standing order rather than a one-off. Medication is the errand where a wrong step matters most, and the post is a user's account with no detail on what was checked.

A user photographed a messy shopping list on the fridge whiteboard and Muse ordered all of it from Sam's Club; one round of corrections fixed the ambiguous items, and it then ordered what Sam's did not have from another store.
Why it is notable
A photo as the whole instruction, and a second store for the leftovers without being asked. The correction round is the honest part: a list written for the person who wrote it needed one pass of feedback.

Needing to print as a guest at Stanford's library, a researcher had Muse create the guest account, add money with his card, assemble and upload the PDFs to the printing portal, and tell him to go downstairs and collect them. Posted in reply to Meta's chief AI officer's $1,000 challenge, so it is an entry in the vendor's frame as well as a sighting.
Why it is notable
Small money, five steps, and an account created on the user's behalf on a third-party portal, which is the credential question in miniature. The author works on agent evaluation, and describes the job flatly.

Asked to find a green puffer jacket, Muse searched, found live discount codes, added the jacket to a cart, applied the codes and bought it at the cheapest price it could reach. The person reporting it was showing it to his wife rather than testing it, and describes her reaction rather than the mechanics.
Why it is notable
It is the first public account of an agent in this directory running a complete purchase end to end, including the step nobody demos: hunting live discount codes and applying them at checkout. Meta's own launch material describes Muse as able to use a browser and connect to apps. It does not claim this sequence, and a claim from the company would be worth less than this anyway, because the interesting part is that it worked on a real store the vendor did not choose.

The second example from the same person: Muse found a recipe and loaded the ingredients into a Whole Foods cart, leaving the order to be placed. Reported in passing, as one of two things he showed his wife.
Why it is notable
It is the same shape as the kitchen agent listed here separately, arriving as a side effect of a general assistant rather than as a product. That is the pressure a single-purpose listing is under and it is worth dating: one of these two products was built to do this and the other picked it up on the way past. It also stops one step short of paying, which is the distinction this task page exists to draw.

Tomo's founder published the first three purchases the product ever made, each tied to a goal its owner had set. The first was $81 on a Japanese textbook for a user in Hawaii who had always wanted to learn the language. Then $55 of whey protein for someone getting in shape, and a $109 sunrise alarm clock for someone trying to sleep better.
Why it is notable
Three amounts, three items and a reason for each, which is more specificity than any other product here has published about money it spent. The pattern is the finding: all three are aspirational purchases against a stated goal rather than replenishment, which is the argument the company makes for why people let it spend at all, and it is checkable against whatever the next batch looks like.

Somebody with early access ran Muse across their business and personal admin and reported it paying bills, ordering flowers and booking date nights, describing it as the thing an earlier open-source assistant was supposed to be.
Why it is notable
It is the first account of one of these agents doing several unrelated chores for the same person in a week rather than demonstrating one. The three named jobs cross payments, a purchase and a reservation, which are three different kinds of authority to hand over, and no product page separates them.
