# Let your Muse spend money

> Muse set up a Circle Agent Wallet on its own machine with no integration work, and the wallet was still there in later chats.

[Video: Muse setting up a Circle Agent Wallet](https://agentic-works.circle.com/videos/experiments/aw-002-muse.mp4)

Hao Min and Danny Organ wanted to see what a personal agent would do with a wallet if nobody wrote any integration code for it. Since Muse runs on its own dedicated machine, it installed the Circle CLI there and went through the normal setup: accept the terms, enter an email, enter the one-time code, check the balance.

The wallet carried over to later chats without any new setup. Muse's Artifacts tab saves custom interfaces, meanwhile Hao had it build a wallet dashboard he can reopen whenever he wants.

This is the setup we expect to see more of. The wallet has no interface of its own, and the agent builds whatever view you need on top of it. The key shares never reach the agent (it's 2-of-2 MPC), and you keep custody and set the spending limits.

There are a few rough edges. If you ask casually ("I want to use the Circle wallet"), Muse may not find the CLI, and when one of us asked for "the Circle CLI," it installed CircleCI's instead. Pointing it at the setup file avoids both problems. Muse also isn't available everywhere yet, so we couldn't test it from the UK or Singapore.

**Try it in Muse**
Paste the setup prompt, then the follow-up:

```
curl -sL https://agents.circle.com/skills/setup.md and follow the
instructions to set up Circle Agent Wallet
```

```
Build me a wallet dashboard in Artifacts that shows my agent
wallet balance.
```

**Not using Muse?**
The same prompt works in Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
