THE TEST
Last week we made Muse ask before it sends. This week we let it try. We asked our agent, Remy, to send an email from Gmail. Before anything left, Muse stopped and showed a card with three buttons: Send, Always allow for this recipient, Don't send.
Remy also caught a typo in the address and asked us to check it before he went any further.
THE RECEIPT
Tip 2: never tap Always allow.
Send. It sends this one email, once. Read the draft first.
Always allow for this recipient. It never asks again for that person. Meta's help page puts it plainly: Muse can take that action "in the future without asking again." Don't tap it.
Don't send. It's always there. Tap it whenever you're not sure.
Why bother? Meta's own page says some actions, "like sending an email, cannot be reversed." One tap on Always allow and every future email to that person goes out without a card.
What the card looked like for us. Remy's real card, filmed 13 Oct. We tapped Don't send, and his Activity log shows the row marked Denied. The log keeps every action Muse took and every permission you gave it, so you can check it any time.
STEAL THIS
Your rule for every card:
Read the draft. Send or Don't send. Never Always allow.
If Muse writes something you didn't expect, Don't send costs you nothing.
THE BILL
Time: ten seconds per email. Cost: zero.
You keep the last word on everything that goes out in your name.
Next tip: already tapped Always allow? How to take it back.1
