Personal agent ranking: Muse best UX, Dots most capable, Grok Bot fast but rough
altryne · x · 2026-10-18
simonsmith ranks current personal agents:
- Muse: most user-friendly, polished, proactive, with unique features like goals and podcast generation; but not fully trusted with complex tasks and research requests, and lacks voice mode.
- Dots: most capable, offering ChatGPT benefits (new chat model with intelligent UI, Sites, custom plugins/extensions) plus excellent Slack integration; but slow, rough, opaque, less proactive, and dry in personality.
- Grok Bot: fast, supports many bots and even email addresses per bot (though sending requires per-email approval, limiting utility); privacy options are odd—opting out of training on your data comes with side effects.
