Let Your Muse Triage DMs for Scams

A muse can read your direct messages, flag the ones that look like scams, and hand you a summary of everything else, so dangerous messages get caught before a tired human reads them at midnight.

What it does

Connected to your messages, the muse scans incoming DMs against scam patterns: urgency, a link you did not ask for, an offer that does not make sense, someone pretending to be a company or a relative. It flags the suspicious ones and does not reply to them. It summarizes the rest: who wrote, what they want, whether it needs you. The same setup works for family members who get targeted more often.

How to use it

  1. Connect your messages and give the rule: "Read my DMs. Flag anything that looks like a scam or phishing attempt and do not reply to those. Summarize everything else: who wrote, what they want, whether it needs me."
  2. Start with a week of summaries before you let it draft replies. You want to see its judgment on real messages first.
  3. For family members who get targeted more often, apply the same setup to their inbox, with them approving the final call on anything flagged.

What you need

  • Your messages connected
  • A week of patience while you learn its judgment

What to watch for

Scam patterns shift, so this is triage, not armor. The muse flags; you still decide what to do about anything flagged. Never let it reply to a suspected scam on your behalf.
