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

Code shows Muse's web UI already supports creating a dedicated Telegram bot via BotFather, though the option is hidden; Messenger is a likely next release and Signal is also mentioned.

Meta's Muse hit No. 1 on the US iPhone free chart ten days after launch, and the blogger notes that China's Today will launch a similar version on September 24 that remembers you and helps proactively.

A Chinese post lists Muse's US iOS ranking, 4.9 rating with 30K+ reviews, 300K+ daily downloads, 600K+ US daily actives and about 2.5M US downloads, compared with ChatGPT's roughly 3.6M over the same period.

The workshop covers moving from manual debugging to a verification skill, using the codebase as memory, the Dune framework, and reaching 2,000 PRs a month with GrokBot triggering cloud agents unattended.

Lauren Tan says she runs over 20 GrokBot agents with /loop and /goal, and that 85% of SpaceXAI engineers already work with agent teams.

A reposted take argues Grok Bot is not a chatbot wrapped around an API but a real, persistent computer running in xAI's cloud.

Lauren Tan shares a workshop recording on building GrokBot agent teams and parallel workflows that ship production PRs, originally prepared for Cursor Compile in London.

Muse is set to connect ad metrics, Pages and Instagram data to give businesses tailored growth guidance, shifting from personal assistant to business agent.

The author says Muse's ability to act for users forced Meta to rebuild its security model, and Amazon blocking it from shopping on its marketplace is an early sign of a bigger platform conflict.

A poster says Meta's Muse is similar to Grok Bot but completely free, expects the free price to draw a large user base, and is trying it out all day.

In a 38-minute talk, xAI engineer Lauren Tan describes moving from babysitting agents at about 5 PRs a month to 2,000 by trusting the environment and parallelizing work.

After downloading and trying Muse, the author says it centers on one long-running main conversation and a personal persona, unlike project-based Codex, though retention, task completion and cost remain unproven.
