What they did
Looking for a new apartment to rent, they gave Meta Muse their full, long list of requirements and preferences.
How it went
Every day, Muse searches Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for new places that fit, and only pings them when something worthwhile comes up. They’ve stopped short of having it email landlords and arrange showings, though they note that’s theoretically possible.
Try it yourself with Meta Muse
Search [Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and other listing sites] once a day for new apartment listings that match my requirements: [location, budget, bedrooms, must-haves, deal breakers]. Only notify me when a new listing is actually worth a look; don't bother me about ones that don't fit.
