Outcome
Kyle G paid for parking in San Francisco, but the valet refused the car because Kyle only had a phone key. After the meeting, Kyle asked Muse to handle the refund. Its first call failed because customer support needed more details; Muse came back, asked Kyle a couple of questions and called again. On the second call a full refund was approved.

- Get a recycled phone number's spam for a previous owner sorted with Meta's Muse, which bot-blocked support kept stopping (failure)Evidence: Article or interviewFailure
Amanda Smith pays $25 a month for a Visible plan and gets a lot of spam calls and texts asking for someone called Andrew, probably the number's previous owner. Visible has no phone line, so Smith asked Muse to check they were formally listed as the number's owner and to find where the number was linked to Andrew. Within seconds it found the number on a data broker page. But Visible blocks bots, and its guest chat wouldn't send Muse's message, then blocked it; taking over the browser led to a 403 error. Muse drafted a message for Smith to paste into the Visible app, and advised requesting removal from WhitePages and FastBackgroundCheck, though the WhitePages form wouldn't let Smith click Next. Visible's advanced support was still pending. Smith found Muse acted more like a chatbot giving instructions, though testing it made Smith finally deal with the task.

- Get a free replacement toothbrush handle out of warranty by having Grok Bot work customer serviceRecreated promptEvidence: Described by poster
Over a week, the poster's Grok Bot, connected to the Bland AI phone service, dealt with Philips customer service by phone and chat about an out-of-warranty Sonicare toothbrush with a dead battery. Along the way it got two 30%-off coupon codes and free brush heads, and in the end a free replacement handle, which the poster values at about $260. The poster says they never spoke to customer service themselves. It also reviewed their PG&E electricity use and filled out forms to switch plans to suit charging two EVs.
