  "account": "I tried using Meta's Muse AI as my personal shopper, but only 3 of 7 prompts were successful. I downloaded the AI assistant after noticing its popularity on Apple's App Store and downloaded it to take it for a spin. My goal was to find the best deals on comic books, video game controllers, and physical games. After inputting three specific prompts, Muse provided me with the best deals. One prompt, \"baseline + deal hunt,\" found the cheapest option for a Batman comic book, offering it at 40% off. Another prompt, \"compare across stores,\" helped me find the cheapest PS5 DualSense controller on Walmart for $67.61. Lastly, using the \"open-box/refurbished/used deal hunting commands\" prompt, I found a used copy of Garou: Mark of the Wolves on eBay for $54.99.",
  "summary": "I bought into the hype and gave Meta’s Muse AI app a shot and with its suggested deal-finding prompts, three of them found me exactly what I was looking for.",
