Each prompt below is copy-ready and tuned to that search — paste it into Muse, swap in your file or vendor name, and keep it read-only so nothing moves or gets shared. Small-business owner Find my lease agreement and summarize the key terms. Read-only — don't share or move it. Copy Insurance agent Find [client]'s application documents and list what's missing. Read-only, don't share. Copy Restaurant owner Find my supplier contracts and summarize the payment terms. Read-only, don't share. Copy ## Check it worked A working Box connection means Muse answers from your real files — file names and folders you recognize — instead of asking you to connect or giving generic advice. Run the three checks below right after pasting the prompt; each takes seconds, and a miss tells you exactly which step to redo. - 1Paste the prompt with a real vendor name in brackets — Muse should return the matching contract’s name and folder. - 2Open Box and confirm the file is still exactly where it was. Read-only means nothing moves. - 3If Muse can’t find the file, go to Muse → Connectors → Box → Reconnect and re-approve access. Stuck connecting?
