Muse Apple Watch integration is nice. I don’t do a lot of stuff on my watch apart from check the weather and activate workouts, but this is smooth. Similar to Muse Gadget but way more polished. Preview of what we’re getting with Muse Charm. Don’t have voice mode yet so not sure how that works on the watch, if at all. Would like emoji reactions for quick responses, which I sent as feedback in the app.

I'm thoroughly Dots-pilled. Still a fan of Muse, but probably 75-80% of my AI requests now go through Dots. The primary exception: learning things in chat. For that, GPT-6 Instant with Dynamic UI is unmatched. Just incredible. Some recent Dots work and personal tasks: - Build and update a Spanish vocabulary app - Maintain a document on AI comparisons - Execute tasks I delegate directly from Slack - Monitor threads in Slack and summarize responses - Research a contact and write a brief for a call - Analyze token data and make me a deck to share - Monitor token consumption, alert me if needed - Respond to comments in Pages in Space You might say: "Dude, ChatGPT could do a lot of that already." True. But I no longer have to think about all these threads individually. I just keep firing stuff at my Dots from wherever I am. ChatGPT, Slack, reading a Page in Space. I just throw stuff at it, and it does it, and sometimes it proactively just does stuff based on what it thinks I'd find valuable. I was skeptical when this launched because it's nowhere near as consumer-friendly as Muse. But I think that's part of why OpenAI launched this first to business and pro-tier users. We're willing to suffer a bit for extra capability. I'm starting to see some of the advantages now, and the product also continues to get more polished. Bullish.

I don’t really care if Muse Wonder can make a great Minecraft world or video game or voxel object or anything other than: can it do tasks well that make my life easier and generally better, which doesn’t involve any of those things. I’ll base my evaluation on that.

I would love to hear from the Muse team how they’re processing the in-app feedback you can give. I’ve given a ton, and I imagine other people have too. I hope this is being collected, triaged, and turned into requirements and code by agents. Would love to learn about this.

Oh. This experiment worked and it makes Muse even cuter. I told it to check the weather every morning and then dress itself however it wants based on the weather and its taste. And now it does that every morning at 7:30, and it actually works.

Great to see this ambition in Canada, phenomenal website that explains the idea well, but fundamentally rests on the premise that the way humans organize research is the optimal way. It feels like that might not be true, and may simply reflect limitations and biases of the human mind.

Just went for a long walk while using ChatGPT Voice with plugins on my phone, and I think it's a more consequential update than it might seem at first glance. On my walk, I talked through my calendar, email, and to-do list. I had ChatGPT read through my emails and triage them. Then, we added items to my to-do list. Then, we reviewed my calendar. By the end of the walk, I'd finished getting organized, and never had to look at a screen once. I've been waiting for this a long time. Yes, you can kind of do this in the ChatGPT desktop app. And I think in Codex remote on the mobile app. But I've never gotten either to work very smoothly or reliably. And I often want to do this when I'm not near my laptop, like when I'm out for a walk, and the ChatGPT desktop app for whatever reason won't connect. This feels like the future. It feels like a true assistant. You have a natural conversation, and it does stuff for you. It disappears into the background. You're not walking down the street with a screen in your face. You're not contorting your thumbs to type sentences and scroll menus. You're just talking, conversationally, and stuff's getting done. My sense is: • Screens are going away for many uses other than visual content consumption. They won't disappear entirely. But they also won't dominate the way they do now, and definitely not for things that can be done verbally. • Apps that aren't agent-native and plugin-optimized will die. I use Google Workspace and Todoist primarily because they're so well-integrated with ChatGPT. I stopped using apps, such as many of Apple's, because with few exceptions they're poorly agent-integrated. (X is a big exception, but I've hacked some integration via IFTTT.) • Those apps, however, will become more valued for what they let agents do than for their in-app experiences. Not all will become essentially databases, but many will. It also seems inevitable to me that at some point OpenAI and other AI app providers roll out native calendar, email, and to-do functionality that's maximally agent-optimized. • We'll have our audio agents on all the time. We may have them on mute sometimes (I discovered you can do this with ChatGPT Voice by clicking an AirPod), but at great cost, because you'll want be able to just say something like "summarize that conversation I just had and then draft the presentation." It will be like having an assistant following you around when you want them to. • We need new hardware. For example, I want a camera in my AirPods not to take pictures, but to have the context of what's around me. Like, "What kind of tree is that?" Or, "That's a cool shirt. Find out where they bought it." (I have this in my Meta Ray-Bans, but people are now very sensitive to those devices because they do take pictures.) I also want ChatGPT able to be always listening or awoken with "hey, Chat." • The individual thread model starts to break down when you're treating ChatGPT like an always-on assistant. We need to have the infinite continuous thread from which ChatGPT can delegate work to subthreads, the central assistant model that Muse is built around. This makes even more sense when you start treating your AI apps like assistants. They should be juggling all those individual threads on your behalf. More to come I'm sure as I continue to experiment.

I’m sure OpenAI knows this, but it feels like they’re ceding ground to Grok Bot, Meta Muse, and even Siri AI by hiding ChatGPT’s more powerful agentic capabilities behind a “Work” tab that many people will rarely click, and isn’t a good name for personal tasks.

If you had any doubt OpenAI sees voice as the main way we'll interact with AI in future, the latest ChatGPT desktop app update makes it clear. Voice is elevated to the persistent left sidebar. Clicking it starts a voice thread. This also makes it more clear that voice threads are superthreads you can use to coordinate other threads. It's an overarching presence.

With Codex at 5 million users, they’ve hit about 0.6% of ChatGPT’s roughly 900 million users. We are so, so early. The vast majority of people have no idea what’s already possible to do with AI, while a tiny minority is automating their personal lives and work.
