Muse can now add to your page

Meta's Muse can now add to your Humble & Kind page. I connected it to my own page today. It took a few minutes, and most of that was deciding which topics it may add to.

That matters because the hardest part of a page is the first thirty things on it. Nobody sits down on a Tuesday and types out what they believe about hiring. But you say those things all the time, in replies to recruiters, in notes after a meeting, in the email where you explain for the fifth time how you run a first week with a new team. Muse can already read your mail, your calendar and your notes. Now it can turn what you keep saying into questions for you, and put the answers you agree with on your page.

What Muse can do once it is connected

Muse gets the same four things any assistant gets here.

• It asks you your page's questions, one at a time, including the ones people asked your page that it could not answer.
• It suggests the exact words, the topic they go under, and who would see them.
• It adds something only after you say yes.
• It looks at what your page already holds, so nothing lands twice.

And there are four things it cannot do. It cannot add anything without your yes. It cannot change who sees what, because your audiences stay on Who can ask, where only you can edit them. It cannot read who asked your page. And it cannot write anything about money or health, because the site refuses both topics from anyone, a connected assistant included.

That last one matters more with Muse than with most assistants, since Muse may be connected to a lot of your life. The refusal is code on our side. It is not an instruction Muse is trusted to follow.

How to connect it

Muse takes a custom connector with a key rather than a sign-in button, so you make the key first.

• On What you know, open Other ways to connect. Call it Muse, tick the topics it may add to, and press Make a key. The key is shown once, so copy it before you leave the page.
• In Muse, say "Create a custom connector". Give it the address https://humblekind.co/api/mcp/owner and the key as a bearer token.
• Muse asks you before it adds anything. Taking the key away on What you know ends the connection at once.

The same steps, with a copy button for the address, are on Connect your assistant.

Four things to say to it

• "Interview me for my page. One question at a time." It works through your page's own questions, starting with the ones strangers asked.
• "Read my sent mail from the last month. What do I keep telling people? Suggest three lessons, in my words." This is the one Muse is best placed for, because it already has the mail.
• "Here is my CV. Add my roles and my degree to my page." Roles land in your profile with their dates.
• "What does my page already say about hiring?" Worth asking before you add more on a subject.

Why the yes stays with you

When Muse suggests a lesson from your sent mail, you see the sentence it wants to store, the topic it goes under, and which of your audiences would get it: anyone on the web, people signed in, or only the people you invited. Nothing is stored until you say yes to those words. If it paraphrased you badly, say no, or tell it what you meant and let it try again. It suggests; you write.

I care about this more than about the connector itself. A page is worth asking only if everything on it is something you would say out loud. An assistant that files things for you without asking would fill a page faster, and that page would stop being yours.

Muse is available in the US and Canada. If you use Claude or ChatGPT instead, the same steps page covers both, and they connect with a sign-in rather than a key.
