AI Personal Assistants: Muse, Grok Bot, Cue Usage & Comparisons

A commentary notes Anthropic, Meta and OpenAI all ship assistants that watch email and calendar, work on a cloud computer, and check in before acting; the author bets digital tasks come first and context is the key.

A user says Grok Bot already uses its own computer and browser, runs routines while you sleep, has its own email inbox, asks before sending, and even hands coding to Claude Code.

A Japanese developer traces the line from Devin and Computer Use through Operator and OpenClaw to Grok Bot, Dots and Claude Duet, arguing the shift is AI taking stock of the situation itself and returning only decisions to humans.

A detailed rundown of Duet's cloud VM and browser, 6,000+ connectors, human approval for sending or paying, usage costs and the US-only waitlist.

The author demos using a cloud host as a jump box to remotely log into Grok Bot and reroute it to a custom API key, while warning this violates rules and risks a ban.

A user likes Claude Duet's take-initiative-but-ask-first approach, questions whether it can tell real urgency from busywork, and asks how it compares with Grok Bot.

A daily briefing covers Anthropic's proactive Claude Duet preview for US Pro/Max, OpenAI bringing Codex to Google Cloud Model Garden, and Nvidia's OpenShell agent security architecture.

Duet gets its own cloud PC and browser to triage email and calendar, draft replies and build docs, but requires confirmation before sending, paying or deleting; US Pro/Max waitlist only.

The poster argues OpenAI's decision to keep Dots off Plus is fair since Anthropic's Duet also requires Pro, which costs just $20 a month.

Claude Code released Claude Duet, a proactive agent comparable to OpenAI Dots, usable on the base $20 subscription.

A long-time Raft user explains why the product survived model upgrades: thread-based multi-agent coordination, reuse of paid API subscriptions, and remote work without a laptop, after briefly switching to GrokBot.

A user shares a prompt that turns Grok Bot into a personal diet and training coach, covering meal logging, weigh-ins, a web dashboard, workout plans and reminders.
