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

A user lists Codex price increases, the awkward Dots launch as dot.com redirects to Grok Bot, and GPT-6.1 Sol falling short of Opus 5.5, questioning whether paying more is still worth it.

A post with a photo claims San Francisco now has a Grok Bot "shrine," showing the assistant's offline presence in the real world.

Seven takeaways: Dots as an always-on personal agent, Space plus Pages turning ChatGPT into a workspace, GPT-6.1 Sol, faster and cloud-based Codex, a $500 Pro tier, and the Agents API plus Marketplace.

Dots come with Blender installed on their own machines, so they can work without using your computer's memory or your limits, and you can interrupt them, ask for progress, and sync with the Codex app.

A dev log says PyClaw, influenced by OpenAI's latest announcement and Meta's Muse agent, will support long-running background tasks, email and calendar, browser operation, and inspectable memory.

An official video shows the Cue agent, which already has email, a phone, payments and a cloud PC, being connected to AIsa with a single prompt to work with real-world data.

A short comment notes that Cue belongs to Manus and argues the big labs are now competing on always-on personal assistants rather than on models themselves.

The post reflects on Diogo Almeida leaving OpenAI to build Jev, which took off, after which OpenAI released the Decisions API and Dots covering similar ground.

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar accidentally called the new personal assistant Dots "Muse" on CNBC while discussing competition with Meta, prompting jokes about brand differentiation.

OpenAI's new assistant product is named Dots while an individual assistant is called Dot, partly because the dot.com domain was acquired by xAI in July and redirects to the Grok Bot download page.

OpenAI's Dots personal assistant costs nothing extra and comes with Pro or Business Premium, is available 24/7, and will later allow adding more Dots or scaling speed and work allowance.

A user says the entire song and video, covering Musk's journey from Pretoria to Mars, were made with their own Grok Bot.
