Set up a daily question so your agent learns about you
After setting up Muse, @yizhou_yu let it create an automation that asks them a daily question, and they report it now knows what to ask and many details about them. This page shows how to set up a daily question with clear topic limits and a regular review of what the agent keeps.
What you can get
- Prepare
A time of day you will reliably answer
- Ask and review
Decide when you will actually answer, such as with morning coffee or on the commute, and set the question for that time rather than a time you will ignore.
- Check the result
A recurring daily question you answer at your own pace, plus a periodic review of what the agent says it has learned; not a guarantee of what it stores or how it uses it.
The source case
@yizhou_yu reports that one of the first things they did after setting up Muse was to let it create an automation that asks them a question every day, so that it could learn more about them. They say they have answered the questions consistently and that Muse now knows what good questions to ask and many details about them. The post does not show the automation settings, the time it runs, any of the questions or answers, or how long the routine has been running.

How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Decide when you will actually answer, such as with morning coffee or on the commute, and set the question for that time rather than a time you will ignore.
- Write down the topics you want the agent to learn about and, separately, the topics it should never ask about.
- Ask for the automation with those limits and review the schedule and sample questions before you approve it.
- Answer briefly and honestly; if a question feels too personal, say so, so the agent adjusts later questions.
- Every week or two, ask the agent to summarize what it has learned about you and correct or remove anything wrong.
- Pause or change the automation if the questions start repeating or you stop answering.
What this user set up
@yizhou_yu describes the automation as one of the first things they did with Muse: a question every day, so that it can know more about them. The post is short and does not show the questions, the schedule or the answers.
Their reported result rests on consistency. They write that they have kept answering, and that Muse now knows what are good questions to ask as well as many details about them. They close by recommending such automations as a way to let the agent keep learning.
Choosing what it may ask
A daily question works as a slow interview, so the useful part is deciding the scope before it starts. Practical topics such as work hours, food preferences, travel habits and recurring errands tend to pay off in later tasks; health, money and details about other people are worth excluding unless you have a clear reason to share them.
As a general habit, ask the agent from time to time to list what it has learned and correct it there. A wrong assumption picked up early can quietly shape later suggestions.
Open Muse to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- The post shows none of the questions, answers or automation settings, so the frequency details and phrasing here are editorial.
- The author's claim that Muse knows many details about them is their own impression; the post gives no example of a detail it learned.
- The post does not say where answers are stored, how they can be reviewed or deleted, or whether they affect other tasks.
- This is an attributed community report, not reproduced by this guide. The suggested workflow and checks are editorial guidance, not a recovered conversation or guaranteed product capability.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- The questions start repeating
- Ask the agent to list the questions it has already asked and to skip those topics, or give it a fresh topic list.
- It asks about something you do not want to share
- Decline, add the topic to the off-limits list, and ask the agent to confirm it will not ask again.
- You keep missing the question
- Move it to a time you are usually free, or switch it to a few days a week instead of every day.
Common questions
Can Muse ask me a question every day?
One user reports letting Muse create an automation that asks them a question every day. The post does not show the setup, and this guide has not reproduced it.
Does answering daily questions make Muse more useful?
The author says Muse now knows what good questions to ask and many details about them, and calls such automations a good way to let it be more useful. The post gives no specific example.
What should I keep out of a daily question routine?
That is your choice; this guide suggests listing off-limits topics such as health, finances and other people's private details in the prompt before the automation starts.
