Shaan says Muse is snappier and faster. Sheel found Instinct could pay a bill Muse refused due to how it stores card data.
"Muse has been number one in the App Store for like the last couple of weeks. So, that one's pretty easy to get and you can just sign up for it. So, I would say probably Muse."
Trusted more than Instinct on privacy; Grok is behind
"Muse is a phenomenal product. You've seen it in Meta's stock price... I used it to pay a healthcare bill recently and Muse wouldn't do it because it only has my tokenized credit card data."
Instinct was able to pay the bill when Muse could not
"It's doing well. It has 380,000 ratings, almost all five stars, 4.9 average. So it's number one in productivity, but not number one overall."
Compared to Instinct
"On the point of Muse and Meta and them waking up, they've done a phenomenal job and it's a great product. They've sort of reinvigorated the organization."
Competitor to Instinct
"I'm a Muse fan. I haven't used Instinct, I'm hoping to get an invite. But I have 22 agents. I'm all in on the agents."

GrokBot

Cursor's AI agent platform
Peter moved to GrokBot after it added phone calls; Jason says Muse is less freewheeling but stronger at getting things done. Claire uses Muse for life tasks, GrokBot for work.

Peter moved to GrokBot after it added phone calls; Jason says Muse is less freewheeling but stronger at getting things done. Claire uses Muse for life tasks, GrokBot for work.
"I've actually been moving a lot of my ChatGPT, like, googly question-and-answer style chats to Muse because it does such a good job and it's so fast. So, like, sort of my go-to — explain how this works, what is this, look this up."
Replacing ChatGPT for Q&A-style chats; she recommends it for life jobs and Grok Bot for work
"Here's why Muse is my new favorite... Muse you want to use for anything that touches Meta, any Meta product, Facebook Marketplace, Instagram, Facebook groups, Meta Ads, it's extra seamless if it's a Meta product, extra frictionless. And ..."
Compared to Grokbot and Instinct. He noted it can still be buggy with email replies.
"Here is my Muse agent. This Muse agent is a competitor to GrokBot and now GPT Dots, and this app is really good, and it's basically free. I've never once paid Meta to use this app, and it does a lot of useful tasks for me."
Competitor to GrokBot and GPT Dots
"Muse hit number one last Friday in the app store. Stock — Meta stock was up 10% after this new agent Muse was released. I've been playing with it, comparing it to Grockbot. It's not as freewheeling, but it's really good at getting things..."
Compared to Grok bot — Muse is less freewheeling but strong at task completion; inspired by OpenClaw but much easier to use and free
"This is Muse, and this is another call I had using Muse, calling a tree company to remove a tree from my backyard... Honestly, the primary reason I was using Muse was for its phone call feature, but now that Grok Bot has it, I think I am..."
He considers it inferior to Grok Bot because it provides no full voice recording and introduces itself as 'Haley'.
Dots
Different focus
OpenAI's personal AI agent
Muse handles personal tasks like calling businesses and booking; Peter says Dots is work-focused, so they aren't really competing.

Muse handles personal tasks like calling businesses and booking; Peter says Dots is work-focused, so they aren't really competing.
"That's how I felt with Muse when I first started using Muse."
Better for personal life; Dots better for business
"Muse is focused on consumers, like being able to call US businesses, book plane tickets for you, sell stuff on Facebook Marketplace. Recently, for example, I used Muse to order a birthday cake for my wife. And for Muse, in my opinion, th..."
Compared to ChatGPT Dots — Muse is consumer-focused while Dots is work-focused; they are not directly competitive
"Each personal agent platform has their pros and cons. What Muse is just extraordinary at is mining Facebook groups, Instagram, and Marketplace. Also, they're pushing it really heavily right now. So, in terms of mainstream adoption, they ..."
Compared to other personal agent platforms Dots and Instinct
"I think an additional that just isn't discussed enough is Muse was a phenomenal launch and has been a phenomenal reception."
Contrasted with OpenAI's Dots
"Like Muse will be available in WhatsApp, you know, like come to the user where they are, but it doesn't push the frontier."
Competing with Dots and Grokbot for the personal agent layer

Muse is polished and easy to set up; OpenClaw required self-hosting and made lots of mistakes.
"I'm going to wait a few months for them to just make it easy for me. And now I got Muse and Instinct blowing up my phone because they made it easy for me."
Chosen instead of self-hosting OpenClaw or Hermes
"I have been blown away by Muse in particular. It's been the best fully formed AI product I've used in a long time. But I'd say at least our theories about the interfaces people want... I'm not so sure that we've learned anything that sug..."
Compared to OpenClaw; more bullish on chat agents for mobile than desktop work
"A huge part of the premise of Muse and I think what's really landed is that it is like a different thing from what most people have experienced with consumer AI. Like it is not a chatbot. It is an agent and it can do agent things for you."
Contrasted with chatbots and with less reliable agents like OpenClaw
"Now what we have is Muse and Instinct and things like that. It's like actual AI agents that you just message and they go and book you restaurants at the coolest tables or they check your kids' school activities. They're like a really goo..."
Contrasted with OpenClaw, which made lots of mistakes
"The thing that Muse got right is the onboarding is so, so simple. Within 5 minutes, you can have every piece of your life wired into Muse and then you can just start asking it questions and it'll do things for you."
Easier to set up than OpenClaw; more free usage than ChatGPT and Claude, which rate limit

Muse has a desktop app Duet lacks. Peter says Muse is better designed, though Duet comes close.
"Same with Muse. You know, I started using it as a mobile app, but very quickly downloaded the desktop app, and that allows me to pull through all these tasks that maybe I kick off asynchronously on my phone and want to finish when I'm do..."
Faster than Claude Duet. Has a desktop app that Duet lacks.
"The next one is Muse, which is free. And Muse is also incredible. I think it's super well-designed, probably the most well-designed out of all the personal agents. And it has a killer feature in that it can call US businesses for you... ..."
Doesn't use a frontier model like Opus or Astra, so it sometimes makes mistakes. Claude Duet comes close on design.
"Anthropic just announced a brand new standalone app called Duet, and it will directly rival Muse, Grok bot, and OpenAI's dots."
