How to Use Muse — Free Class
About 30 minutes. Four short lessons. You'll learn to talk to Muse, write prompts that work, and give it a real job — not just a question.
The four lessons
-
Lesson 1 — Talk to it like a new employee
Forget everything you know about search boxes. Muse works best when you talk to it the way you'd brief a sharp new hire: plain words, full context, no shorthand.
-
Lesson 2 — The J-C-B-F method for prompts that work
A simple four-part structure for every prompt you write. Job: what you want done. Context: what it needs to know. Boundaries: what to avoid. Format: what the answer should look like.
-
Lesson 3 — Give it a job, not a question
Questions get answers. Jobs get work done. Learn the shift from "write me an email" to "you're my follow-up person — here's your job description."
-
Lesson 4 — Your first helper: put one on a shift
A helper is a job description plus a shift schedule. You'll set up your first one: what it does, when it runs, and what it checks before bothering you.
Try it now: the prompt builder
Fill in the four boxes. We'll assemble a finished prompt using the J-C-B-F method. Copy it, paste it into Muse, and watch it work.
