It found an idle cloud database he was still paying for and, after a first refusal, got the provider to waive the charges. [Muse](https://www.automaticcompany.co/use-cases/agent/muse-meta/) Added Oct 13, 2026 ## What they did He asked Muse to go through twelve months of Gmail receipts and list recurring charges he might not be using. It surfaced a small monthly Google Cloud charge for an idle database, totaled it, and drafted a billing case that it filed after he approved. When Google said no, Muse drafted a follow-up. ## How it went The poster says Google waived the accumulated charges soon after the follow-up, during his first week with Muse. ## Good to know This is one anecdote inside a promotional listicle with a referral code, and part of the post is paywalled. Muse also does not follow up overnight unless told to keep checking Gmail. ## A prompt to try Search my Gmail receipts from to and list every recurring charge with vendor, frequency and total. Mark the ones that look unused, for example no logins or activity emails. For any I confirm, draft a polite billing request asking to cancel and waive past charges, and wait for my approval before sending anything. ## Source [sidsaladi.substack.com](https://sidsaladi.substack.com/p/meta-muse-use-cases-50-real-ways) · published Sep 21, 2026 · checked Oct 13, 2026 Runs on [Muse](https://www.automaticcompany.co/platforms/muse-meta/). ## Want this running for you?
