Muse unavailable in your country? What users report
First-person community posts describe signup attempts through a US VPN connection or a remote browser. An India-based user reports success with a VPN; Chinese-language users also describe email registration through US or Canadian connections. Other users report being blocked even with a VPN. These are individual accounts, not an official method, a popularity ranking or our own test. We did not find reliable Japan- or Russia-specific evidence of a consistently working method.
Cloud-browser route: follow the six steps below using a supported ChatGPT Work account. The remote computer’s location is not guaranteed; use your real account details and complete verification yourself.
Reported VPN route: if you already have a VPN you trust, users describe choosing a US endpoint, opening https://muse.ai in a desktop browser, and completing the email signup on Muse itself. We have not tested this route in your country or endorsed a VPN provider.
If Muse accepts your signup, open its invite-code redemption option within the stated 48-hour window. Use your friend’s code, or SHQ8U4 if you do not have one, and confirm the reward. A referral code is not a regional-access pass.
Access can change after signup. If you still see a region restriction or waitlist, follow Muse’s current guidance; a VPN or referral code does not guarantee access. Do not buy an account or give a third party your email verification code.
FROM SIGNUP TO FIRST USE
How do I sign up for Muse with ChatGPT Work?
Ask ChatGPT Work to open Muse in its cloud browser, take over the remote browser to enter your Gmail address and verification code, then redeem an invite code in Muse. Signup details go into the remote browser—not the ChatGPT message box.
ChatGPT Work’s website sign-in feature depends on your plan and rollout. Muse’s own account and regional eligibility still apply. This method helps with website navigation; it is not a Muse integration inside ChatGPT.
Ask ChatGPT Work to open Muse
In a ChatGPT Work session with cloud-browser access, send this prompt:
Open https://muse.ai in your cloud browser and help me sign up. When an email address or verification is required, hand over the browser so I can enter it myself.
Continue in the remote browser
When ChatGPT offers the browser handoff, open the remote browser and take control. Continue on Muse’s signup page there. The remote browser is separate from the ChatGPT conversation and from the browser on your own device.
Sign up with your Gmail address
This guide recommends using your own Gmail address. Enter it on Muse’s signup screen. When prompted, retrieve the verification code from your email and enter it in the remote browser. Muse’s public signup screen also accepts a phone number; follow the options available to your account.
Using a Gmail address does not necessarily mean selecting “Sign in with Google.” Follow the email or login method actually shown by Muse. Keep passwords and verification codes out of the chat.
Redeem an invite code within 48 hours
After signup, open Settings → General → Usage and look for the invite-code redemption option. Following the referrer’s instructions, enter SHQ8U4 if you do not have a friend’s code, then submit it.
Do this before you start exploring.The offer described by the referrer gives both you and the referrer 1 billion tokens each when an eligible code is redeemed within 48 hours of signup. Check Muse’s current offer, code availability and eligibility in the redemption screen.
Simply opening Muse from this page does not apply the code. You must complete the code-redemption step in your account.
Check that the tokens arrived
Read the redemption confirmation and check your token balance or usage page. If the bonus does not appear, review any error or eligibility message before assuming the code worked.
Use Muse in your everyday browser
Open muse.ai in your usual browser and log in using the same account and login method you used during signup. If you registered with Gmail, use that same Gmail address. Continue using Muse there.
DON’T OVERLOOK THE SIGNUP BONUS
Why enter an invite code?
If the offer is available to your account, entering a valid invite code within the stated window lets you claim the 1 billion-token referral bonus. If you already plan to use Muse, it is worth checking this step before the 48-hour window closes.
The bonus is a Muse account benefit. It does not add tokens to your ChatGPT account or guarantee unlimited use. Always read the current redemption conditions.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Muse signup & referral FAQ
What is the Muse referral code on this page?
SHQ8U4. If a friend has already shared a code, use theirs. If you do not know anyone’s code, you are welcome to use SHQ8U4.
Who receives the 1 billion-token referral bonus?
Under the offer described by the referrer, an eligible new user and the person who referred them each receive 1 billion Muse tokens after the new user redeems a valid code within 48 hours of signup. Check the current offer and eligibility in Muse before redeeming.
Where do I enter a Muse invite code?
On the Muse website, follow Settings → General → Usage and look for the invite-code redemption option. The route is based on the referrer’s instructions; menu labels and availability may vary. Enter SHQ8U4, submit it and check the confirmation and token balance.
Do I enter my email verification code in ChatGPT?
No. Enter your Gmail address and verification code directly in the Muse signup page inside the remote browser. Do not paste a password or verification code into the ChatGPT conversation.
Does this make Muse a GPT inside ChatGPT?
This guide uses ChatGPT Work to help navigate Muse’s signup website. It does not describe a custom GPT, a plugin installation or a GPT model inside Muse. After signup, use Muse at muse.ai in your usual browser.
Can I share my own Muse referral code?
Yes—if Muse provides a referral code for your account, you can share it with people you want to invite, subject to the current referral terms. This page does not require you to use SHQ8U4 instead of a friend’s code.
What if the code does not work or the tokens do not appear?
Check the spelling, whether you are within 48 hours of signup, and the eligibility or error message shown in Muse. Follow Muse’s current help instructions if redemption fails. This page cannot validate a code’s remaining uses or guarantee a reward.
Can everyone use the ChatGPT Work cloud-browser method?
Availability depends on your ChatGPT plan, account and rollout. Muse also controls its own signup eligibility and regional availability. If the browser or signup is unavailable, follow the services’ official guidance.

- Muse official website — the public signup page was checked for email and phone-number entry.
- OpenAI: Browser in ChatGPT Work — cloud-browser operation, sign-in and availability.

Verification status: the exact 48-hour / 1 billion-token referral offer, redemption menu and remaining availability of SHQ8U4 were supplied by the referrer and have not been independently verified inside a signed-in account. Muse’s current screen and terms take precedence.
