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

An engineer responds to the model debate by arguing a good assistant depends on the harness and product design, and that Grok Bot has a big model but falls short of what their team ships every day.

A researcher ran 50 prompts from a single consumer retail category to analyze how Meta Muse finds and recommends products, with findings shared in a thread.

The App Store listing for Grok Bot on iOS shows version 1.14.0, with notes on faster message sending and replies, quicker onboarding and a clearer bot profile layout, while the public changelog still tops out at 0.66.0.

Underdog 1.3.8 introduces Underdog-Sort, which runs a decision model locally on the device to categorize emails automatically and draft replies in the user's voice, with a focus on privacy.

The author asked Grok Bot to make a short looping video of a pineapple and got a dart passing through the fruit, sweeping over a map and landing back in a trailer of pineapples.

The author asks why people like Grok Bot so much when the Grok model itself is not strong, and suspects there is some hidden mechanism behind it.

Muse and the Meta Business Agent team are working with a group of industry companies to build an agent-to-agent ecosystem where personal agents and business agents can communicate with each other.
