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

After testing, the user said Cue has the clearest onboarding, is the only one with native agent group chat, and appears to be the only one supporting phone calls, and shared an invite code.

An opinion post says Chinese tech giants are all building or borrowing ideas for a personal assistant to rival Meta Muse, but in practice Manus 2.0's Cue is the most usable so far.

Cue gives each agent a geometric avatar, its own email and a cloud computer, with paid numbers that can take calls; its UI is called a Grok Bot copy but better looking.

The author shares a prompt for Grok Bot's task reports that asks for the outcome first, the actual result with proof, and skips process narration.

Manus released Cue alongside 2.0, giving each personal agent its own phone number, email, wallet and computer so it can take calls, pay within a set budget and keep working after you log off, free in early access.

An enthusiastic rundown of Manus 2.0 covering Cascade agents, cloud computers, auto-triggers, Manus Studio, and Cue, a personal agent with email, phone number, wallet, and computer that can team up.

Notes from a conversation about Instinct: approaching $1B in transaction volume, 40% of users sharing a credit card after three weeks, 80% retention among those users, and the view that personal assistant compute will be an order of magnitude larger than coding assistants.

In a discussion about Manus and Cue Agents, someone complains that all assistant products use the same design, and that ChatGPT's bots will look similar too.

A user says they are excited to try an agent that can proactively call them, referring to Cue's phone capability.

Meta launched Muse on September 8, and within about a week it passed 500K users, 250K daily actives and 2M prompts; the author argues Meta's distribution will sharply raise compute demand for agent-style reasoning.

George Pickett argues that Muse's free strategy has already set the price ceiling for personal assistants, so startups competing on price are just burning VC money.
