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

Cerebras ran Qwen 3.8 27B at about 1,500 tokens per second and made an AI personal assistant 19x faster than Grok Bot, Meta Muse and Claude Cowork on the same dinner reservation task.

OpenAI unveiled its personal assistant Dots at DevDay, but typing dot.com opens a Grok bot download page instead.

The author lists assistants like Grok Bot, OpenAI Dots, Muse, Cue, Fo and Instinct, arguing that replacing one is as painful as firing an employee because integrations, memory and automations are locked inside it.

A recap of OpenAI's DevDay says Dots is the answer to Grok Bot and Muse but botched its own demo, and that the $200 plan is no longer a 20x.

An early tester says Dots is more a Codex orchestrator and Slack collaborator than a personal assistant, with calls as a highlight but a plugin ecosystem and payment integrations far behind Grok Bot and Muse.

After OpenAI announced Dots, users found that the dot.com domain now leads directly to Grok Bot.

An Arabic-language user argues Dots, Grok Bot and Muse are essentially the same agent sold by three companies as a furry-ball cloud employee, and would rather run his own VPS.

An investor argues Muse turns Meta from an ad company into a commerce entry point, distributed through Instagram, WhatsApp and glasses, monetized via free token allowances plus transaction fees, with enterprise and API revenue on top.

Right after OpenAI launched Dots, users noticed the Dot.com domain actually points to Grok Bot, joking that Musk played a sly move.

An Arabic post says that as OpenAI announced Dots, Elon Musk's xAI acquired the Dot.com domain, which now tells visitors to use their Grok Bot.

Plinz says Meta Muse is what personal agent startups should have been building, describing it as OpenClaw/Hermes for normal people.

A Spanish post says Dots is powered by GPT-6 Astra, with each agent having its own cloud computer and access to over 4,000 apps, able to run projects in the background, similar to Grok Bot and Meta Muse.
