Simon Poulton tried Meta Muse on shopping tasks that required more than a list of product links. His account includes a Dick's Sporting Goods cart with specific size, color and price constraints, alongside a separate budget limited list of ten items.
The first important result was a failure. Muse said the sporting goods cart was ready, but the retailer's actual cart was empty. Poulton questioned that discrepancy, after which the workflow completed the cart task. The visible store state mattered because the agent's confident description had not established that anything had been added.
He also gave Muse a ten item list with a total budget of $100. That instruction made the spending limit part of the task instead of asking for attractive products without a ceiling. In the same account, he reported completing purchases of Halloween costumes and RSVLTS shirts through Muse.
Those completed shopping tests are the reported outcome. Poulton does not provide an itemized receipt, a delivery record or a detailed payment approval sequence. The case therefore supports using Muse for constrained product selection and cart work while checking the retailer's actual cart; it does not establish that every requested item was bought within the stated budget.
