Muse setup guide for beginners

What you need:

• A Meta account. You can create one with Facebook, Instagram, or an email address or phone number.
• To be 18+ for paid plans, and in a country where Muse works (reported: US and Canada).
• The Muse app (iPhone or Android), a web browser for muse.ai, or WhatsApp.

Step-by-step setup:

1. Get the app or go to muse.ai. Sign in with your Meta account.
2. Set permissions first. Settings → Permissions → set Connectors and Web access to Always ask.
3. Check auto-connected accounts. Facebook, Instagram, and Threads may already be connected through Accounts Center.
4. Connect one app. Say "Connect my Gmail," or Settings → Connectors → Connect → Continue, then sign in.
5. Choose read-only where offered. Meta says many connectors can be set to only retrieve data.
6. Try a safe first task. Ask a question about your calendar.

Not in your country? The app shows a "not available in your country or region yet" message. Reports say VPN workarounds break Meta's terms. Don't risk your account.

First-run checklist:

• ☐ Connectors set to Always ask.
• ☐ Web access set to Always ask.
• ☐ I checked which Meta accounts connected automatically.
• ☐ I connected only the apps I need this week.
• ☐ I never tap Always allow for sending, buying, or sharing.
• ☐ I know where the Activity log is (tap the assistant icon).
• ☐ My first task was read-only.
