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

The author names Muse, Grok Bot and Manus Cue, hoping they will simply put an end to all existing personal assistant products.

The author bets OpenAI will shift to the application layer and dominate Muse/Grokbot/Instinct-style personal assistants, while Anthropic keeps making best-in-class models but may lose out by staying mostly a model company.

A leak says Dots gives each bot its own 3D persona, reachable by text, call, Slack or email, and able to make purchases on your behalf with approval, positioning it against Meta Muse and Grok Bot.

The author ranks Grok Bot, Meta Muse and Manus Cue by icon design, saying Manus's icon is simple but not refined and borrows from Grok Bot without capturing its essence.

Manus launched Cue, a personal agent with its own identity and cloud computer that can send and receive email, make calls, pay within a set budget and complete tasks on its own.

Leaked information says OpenAI will launch Dots, an assistant platform reachable by text, phone, Slack, or email, that can buy things with your approval and gives each Dot a customizable 3D character.

A user complains that the $200 Pro 20x plan's quota was halved within one or two days, calls Dots a Grok Bot knockoff, and urges others to demand refunds.

The user set up a separate phone with apps installed and logged in for Muse, which has its own computer, and controlled it remotely over the web, arguing that a dedicated phone number, computer, and wallet is the key unlock for a personal assistant.

The user ranks text message personal assistants by experience: Kat is fastest and most proactive and ranks first, Lucas second, while Poke was blocked for spamming and Instinct for being slow and going rogue.

The post lists OpenAI's troubles: Astra was scrapped over safety, the $200 Pro 20x plan stopped taking new subscriptions, and its always-on agent hasn't shipped while Muse, Grok Bot and Anthropic are already ahead.

The user says they use Grok Bot to produce content and post daily across 22 channels, and is surprised no one else is exploiting sleep content on YouTube in 2026.

A demo shows connecting AIsa inside Cue with a single prompt, letting the assistant find matching creators, explain why they fit, and send personalized intros.
