Alexandr Wang’s #musemoneychallenge pitch says that Meta's new app can 'make you $1,000' almost instantly
Alexandr Wang says using Muse can help people save $1,000 almost instantly.
Bloomberg/Getty Images Meta's AI team is trying to persuade people to try saving $1,000 using its new agent, Muse.
Alexandr Wang is challenging people to tell Muse to sift through their finances and execute tasks.
Some users are posting their wins, though a great number came from Meta's own team.
Meta's Alexandr Wang says using his new AI agent can almost instantly "make you $1,000." Or rather, save you $1,000.
Wang, Meta's chief AI officer, and his team have been posting on X over the past week about how users can prompt Muse to review their finances and identify ways to claw back cash.
Then, the AI agent is supposed to help execute those tasks in the background, à la haggling over the phone with insurance companies for better deals, unsubscribing from that streaming service you never use, and sifting through the web for discounts.
Wang has been encouraging users to post financial wins in what he calls the #MuseMoneyChallenge, following the AI agent's September 8 launch. the last thing your unnecessary expenses see before your muse saves you $1000 pic.twitter.com/NwEO7nhmbK — Alexandr Wang (@alexandr_wang) September 19, 2026 Some people are biting.
Startup founder Joseph Devoy said he used Muse to find car insurance that cost him $3,500 less a year than his original plan.
"Killer product," he wrote while posting a screenshot of his interaction with Muse.
One user said the AI agent found an unused book subscription his wife had forgotten to cancel a year ago and secured a refund for the amount spent.
IM SICK. @muse just found a monthly book subscription that my wife forgot to cancel, OVER A YEAR AGO. my assistant cancelled the subscription, found their return/refund policy, and was able to get a year's worth of subscription back to me. bonkers — Chris Abraham 🐝 (@chrsabraham) September 15, 2026 Another said Muse discovered an unused $200 Verizon gift card for them.
"So it just paid for itself for the next year or two," they wrote.
A Coinbase product manager, Nick Prince , posted that he saved $1,250 at a car dealership when Muse helped him dodge upsells and a large fee.
