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

A Grok Bot team member asks founders, business owners, and non-engineer users what is missing from the Grok Bot experience, aiming to make it the best agent platform for getting work done.

OpenAI launched Space, a shared workspace inside ChatGPT where teams and their Dots agents collaborate in the same context, which the author expects to reshape software engineering.

OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux says Dots stay always online and proactively research user goals, and that internally specialist dots are provisioned with their own identities, permissions and Mac minis like employees.

The author frames Dots as a work-oriented personal agent and Muse as a life-oriented one, arguing the two are approaching the same always-on assistant from opposite ends.

Given a brief, assets and a reference and connected to Motion, a dot can plan scenes, build the animation and make changes along the way, and the team says its dot one-shotted a launch video.

OpenAI unveiled the personal agent Dots, the ChatGPT Space workspace, GPT-6.1 Sol and a $500 Pro plan, and the author condenses the event into seven points.

The author tested Dots: it has separate limits, reads ChatGPT context and comes with a preconfigured computer, but it is buggy and needs the $100 plan; it feels like a simplified Codex for ordinary users, while Grok Bot feels more like an independent autonomous agent.

A ten-page guide shows how to use Dots with GPT-6 Astra to assemble a round-the-clock agent team, covering task delegation, scheduled runs, plugins and cloud coding.

The author lists the tasks given to Meta Muse, notes that dots, Cue and Grok Bot could do them too, and says only about 75% of the free quota has been used so far.

OpenAI's new Dots agent can operate your computer, work across Slack and Teams, and keep running in the background, while the company is reportedly raising another $30B.

The author lists Meta Muse, Manus Cue and OpenAI Dot as cloud personal assistants, notes Doubao and TodayAI are following, and expects only a few to survive given limited user attention.

Notes from the Noah Shinn interview: Instinct delivers on what Siri promised a decade ago, runs an always-on agent in a dedicated VM per user and grows about 10% monthly, but is constrained by iOS and faces Meta Muse, OpenAI Dots and Grok Bot.
