How'd you do it with a vpn? Doesn't it still need your facebook account to be from the US?

Nope, I just went to muse.ai and typed an email. It created a new Meta account with it and once you interact with Muse once you no longer need the VPN because the service itself gets added to your Meta account.

I then linked my Facebook, IG and others to this new Meta account so that Muse can access them.

No problems whatsoever

Just curious, what are the main use cases for you?

Muse I use for general research and monitoring my Ig/Facebook/Threads conversations and posts.

Research here meaning stuff I need a browser for, like the other day I asked Muse to monitor the Apple website every few hours to tell me when iPhones in my area are back in stock. Or another task was to explore an undocumented API for me by issuing curl requests to traverse it.

Grok Bot I use for more things, like keeping me updated on GitHub activity, surfacing important notifications I might have missed, managing my Calendar and travel schedule, booking WeWork desks in the city I’m in automatically, etc. Mostly small QoL stuff.

dot I use to orchestrate Codex Cloud tasks mostly from GitHub PRs and issues, look up stuff in a browser, click around websites.
