dot has become my primary interface to AI over the last few weeks. my dot's name is boo. he's cute! in a year, i bet i'll still be interacting in this way with @ChatGPT—e.g. as an always-on persistent agent—but boo will have disappeared. it reminds me a lot of early OpenClaw days—we loved the little personality quirks of our Claws, but we dropped them as soon as there was something functionally more powerful available

Dot, Muse, Grok Bot, and Hermes are all EXCELLENT agents They all have their own strengths and weaknesses, so you need to know which to use for each task Here is each agent, and when you should be using them: GROK BOT- best agent for heavy knowledge work Strengths: Because you can create many different agents with many different contexts, skills, and memories, you are able to get a wide plethora of work done really really well Weaknesses: Grok 4.7 is a great model, but not frontier. Also not much usage on cheaper plans. Who it's for: People who have a diverse set of responsibilities and tasks they need to get done META MUSE: best agent for getting personal tasks done online Strengths: Lightning fast, free, and by far the best agent at navigating the internet. Can just 'figure it out' for getting tasks done in browsers Weaknesses: Not great at coding. Model is lightning quick, but not the smartest or most creative. Weaker at knowledge work because of this. Who it's for: The best 'personal assistant' agent. Booking reservations, finding flights, filling out forms, unsubscribing from websites. The more 'normie' type use cases. Also it's free. So anyone on a budget. HERMES: Open source, fully customizable, do anything assitant Strengths: Fully open source and customizable. Anything you want to change in the agent, you can just change it. Use any model or subscription. Does almost anything you ask without many guardrails. Also a smaller decentralized team supporting it, so it's always great to support the rebels Weaknesses: No mobile app. Because it's open source and fully customizable, it's not always the most reliable if you tinker too much Who it's for: tinkerers who want full control over their agent. Also great for the local model community and people with their own home AI labs. My Hermes maintains all my networks and equipment for me better than any other agent DOT: Your ultimate AI agent project manager Strengths: The smartest model in the best harness. You get Astra capabilities with best in class ChatGPT tools like Voice, Spaces, and Codex. Can manage all your Codex threads for you and see your projects to completion. Also has ALL of your ChatGPT memories out of the box, so no onboarding needed Weaknesses: Feels rushed. Lots of rough edges at the moment. Slowest agent. Has trouble with computer and browser use more than you'd like. Tokens in the Dot chat are free, but can heavily burn tokens when managing Codex threads. Who it's for: Builders who do a lot of coding. ChatGPT power users. Anyone who has long running tasks they'd like an agent to project manage for you If you put the right agents on the right tasks, you'll have super powers. I use all 4 of these every single day, and switching between them is a breeze They're all also EXCELLENT agents, so if you can only use one, using any of them is good enough. You can choose literally any of these 4 as daily drivers and you'll be way more productive than the average person Just make sure you're USING them, and not just reading about them.

dot is my favorite openai product so far! it is amazing to me that each day it feels noticably better as it learns more of my workflow and style. having it do the stuff i don't like doing--and usually just builds up as a gravity well of dread--has me very happy.
