Dots priced premium to prep market for a 'digital employee' drop, Redditor hypothesizes

A Redditor argues Dots is priced far above rivals like Muse and Grok bot because vendors see a 'digital employee' launch coming soon. The hypothesis: anchor the market at a premium now, then sell an employee-like agent that joins Slack/Zoom calls, manages long-term projects unsupervised, and uses human-made tools via computer use — rather than wasting the opportunity at $20/month.
