Learn how to set up Meta's new AI agent, Muse, connect your Gmail and Google Calendar, and use it to perform tasks like blocking focus time.

TL;DR

Who this is for

  • Professionals who want an AI that does tasks, not just answers questions
  • Busy people who want an AI assistant to manage their calendar
