TL;DR: What’s This Blog Post About?
Meta Muse is going viral while bigger names like ChatGPT are losing ground among the public.
For some people who have been following AI for a while, this is sort of considered the moment where Meta has “arrived” in the AI competition.
It has been trying to catch up for years but it looks like the user-focused design of this app has broad appeal to get those with even zero AI experience.
Part of the success is that the app is set up to specifically nudge the user to use the AI to start creating things with AI rather than just chat in back and forths. The “Ideas” tab is proof of this: it lists out a lot of different workflows that the AI can do.
Artifacts are something business owners with the Meta Muse app can start creating right away.
Five Key Takeaways from This Blog Post
- Artifacts refer to a multitude of things that AI can create, with documents and “web artifacts” among these.
- You may be picturing simple text-heavy Word documents when you hear of an AI “document” artifact. But Meta Muse’s document artifacts are creatively visual along with formatting the text in lists, charts, and more. Some of these can even be interactive, such as including buttons for shifting between categories in a data set.
- Web artifacts encompass two broad categories: static pages and interactive apps.
- Static web pages can encompass quite a lot, including landing pages, guides, portfolios, price lists, reports, comparison pages, and more.
- Interactive web apps include things like trackers, calculators, dashboards, planners, inventory lists, simple CRMs, forms that save entries.
Why Document Artifacts in Meta Muse Matters for Business Owners
Meta Muse is an AI app that seems specifically designed to make using AI easy for even the least AI-knowledgeable people. For business owners with little to no AI experience, you can find uses for this app pretty much as soon as you sign in.
Still, the value of its features or how to go about using the features may not be obvious. Creating artifacts is one example of this. Read on for how to start using Meta Muse to create detailed documents.
A Quick Way to Get Started: Do This in Meta Muse App
If you want a quick way to get started with Meta Muse app’s artifacts feature, go to the Artifacts tab and start with the Documents feature.
Press the “Create a document” button (it should be in the upper-right corner of the window with a + in it). Pressing it will get a prompt draft started in the chat on the left of the window. It should say “I want to create a document about”, for you to fill in.
To test the Documents artifacts in Meta Muse for yourself, put in this prompt, filling in the brackets with your specific information:
“I want to create a document about my business’s competitors in [the industry your business is in]. Do research on the current market and how my business can stay profitable and competitive”.
(Of course, if you have a specific prompt of your own that you would like to try out, go ahead and try that for yourself.)
Click send and then sit back. It might take some time to get the result back to you, especially with the request for research.
How to Make AI Artifacts: Prompting for AI Artifacts
The prompt example above is simple and straightforward but the best way to go about this is to context-engineer the prompt.
What that involves is telling Meta Muse the specifics of your business and customer base as well. Voice mode can be easy here if you do not have a write-up readily available to give the AI some context. Press the microphone icon and describe important details about your business relevant to the document you want to create.
Also, if you do not specify how you want the document to look or what elements you want it to have, then you are essentially leaving those details to chance because the AI will decide those for you. So, if you have a particular vision in mind for the document, do not assume that the AI will read your mind here.
Signing Off: Create Better Document Artifacts in Meta Muse App
Once you get the hang of it, begin to experiment with Meta Muse to create different kinds of digital documents.
You do not need to be a prompt engineer using AI tools and AI models every day to get good AI-based documents in Muse. Model outputs can be quite good even when the starting point is a simple prompt. You can of course also make edits in real time by sending more prompts to Muse. Whether you are drafting financial reports or data-management artifacts, the natural language processing of Muse makes it easier than ever to create impressive documents.
Something to try is to create several different types of documents based on one prompt. Take a finished document, feed it back into Muse, then ask Muse to create a different kind of document from that document. This chain of transformations can enlighten you on the several different ways you can create artifacts with Meta Muse.
