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

A user says that instead of restaurant reservations, they want their personal Dot or Meta Muse to find the cheapest McDonald's, gas station and grocery store within a given radius based on their shopping list.

Jerry Liu says Dots would have more impact as a standalone app, argues OpenAI is constrained by brand unification, and sees an opening for focused products like Instinct and Muse.

This take argues Dots is OpenAI copying Meta Muse's approach, and that the real competition is not the agent itself but who can connect to the most of your apps.

23-year-old founder Noah discusses Instinct's traction, including $1B in annualized booking value and 10% daily growth, and his plan to avoid parasocial dependence and let agents talk to each other.

The Hedgeye account is handed to Freebird's Meta Muse agent for two days, inviting people to test it and debate the agent economy.

Inspired by Grok Bot's notch concepts, the author built Shadowfax, a screen-aware personal assistant that stays ready, and demonstrated it in action.

While others use Grok Bot, the author tried Dots and found its Debian environment reporting nine logical CPUs, a likely hallucination; it supports custom instructions and routing but lacks standout features.

Dots gives each agent its own cloud computer, runs on GPT-6 Astra, connects to over 4,000 apps, keeps working while you're offline, and may eventually team up with other Dots.

A member of OpenAI's Agent Infrastructure team says work shouldn't be limited by laptop resources and announced the launch of Codex Cloud and always-on agent Dots.

A day after OpenAI launched its persistent assistant Dots, dot.com was found to belong to xAI and redirect to the Grok download page, with whois records showing the transfer happened in July.

OpenAI introduced Dot, a long-term personal assistant rolled out in batches to ChatGPT Pro users first, alongside similar products like Meta Muse, Manus Cue and Grok Bot.

Someone shared photos from a Grok Bot and Notion product builders event, saying the atmosphere did not feel like an AI event.
