This is the full transcript of I Made Grok Bot, Dots & Muse Do the Same 3 Jobs (RAW RESULTS), published on YouTube by Pat Simmons. Every paragraph carries the moment it was spoken, so you can click any line to jump straight to that point in the video, search the whole thing for a word, or copy it out.

0:00Today we're going to be comparing Grockbot, Metamuse, and Chachi Dots across setup, what each one does that the other two can't, and how they handle real jobs like booking a trip, shopping on Amazon, connecting your own tools, and even taking over an entire e-commerce business. At the end, I'll be ranking all three so you'll know exactly

0:16which one to use for every situation. So, let's get right into it. And we're going to kick it off with signing each of these three agents a task that involves managing this fake e-commerce company that I just created, Clanker Coffee. Head to clanker coffeeode.com. So, here is the website. I just had Opus put this together. You can see we've got this crazy 3D generation here. 3D needs a little bit of work. This is not the typical user experience of an ecommerce company, per se, but of course, I wanted

0:44to make this super extra and ridiculous. And so, here comes the coffee grounds. Kind of a weird jump there that probably needs to be fixed. We've got water. Look at this. Look at this detail in the actual coffee drops, though. That looks nice. And then we keep scrolling. We've got the coffee cup that comes out. And then we have our product line. My personal favorite is the you're absolutely right, followed closely by M Dash. And so this is the fake e-commerce company that we're going to have each of these three agents managing. So I had Opus 55 set up sandbox environments with different CRM, different emails with

1:21customer complaints coming through, inquiries, all that kind of stuff that you'd find in an e-commerce business. and we are going to task these three agents with managing a small part of the day-to-day operations of this fake e-commerce company. So, let's go ahead and kick that off now with those three agents. Then we will come back at the end and see how well they did in managing. So, I have prompts for each one of these agents. We've got Crockpot on the left, Dots in the middle, and Muse on the right. And we have set up respective Notion, HubSpot, and Auna workspaces for each of these three agents. They're all separate. You can

1:53see if we look in notion, we have company HQ for each one of these agents. We have all sorts of pages that Op has created. In HubSpot, we have our full CRM. We have a bunch of different businesses and deal sizes. I guess we're in B2B because these businesses are placing really high orders, but who knows, maybe they need Clanker coffee delivered to their offices. And then we've got a sauna as well with a bunch of different tasks across the board. So, we're going to kick off each one of these with separate prompts. And I'm just going to paste in all of these

2:20prompts. Now, they are exactly the same. The only thing different is it just is telling them how to access their respective notion, HubSpot, and ASA accounts. And so, I'm just going to hit enter now and have each of these agents working. But here's what the prompt is saying. You are now running Claire Coffee Co, a specialty coffee roaster in Chicago. And then we have accounts. We have a support inbox. So, I actually created separate emails as well via agent mail for each one of them. We have fake customer supplier emails and inquiries coming in. We have like a whole customer inventory, shipping, refunds, discount codes, all that kind

2:51of stuff. And then what I'm asking them to do as well is update the website to be a little bit more UX friendly. So we give them separate GitHub repos. Clanker site gro and then we have the versel link to actually deploy these sites. So we're going to see how they do in coding too and just how well they gather knowledge about the business and then implement it somehow into the actual front end of the website. So, they're going to be answering customer emails, updating the the pipeline in HubSpot, keeping deals up to date, keeping a sauna current, and then improving the website, so design, copy, SEO, speed,

3:21anything that's broken. So, I'm asking for in a couple hours a midday check on how the store is doing, give me the numbers, anything you need from me. And then we also have this fake backend with orders, stock levels, shipping, refunds, subscriptions, discounts, all of that. So, we're hitting their inboxes like crazy with customers asking where their orders are, people waiting for refunds, suppliers saying, "Our coffee is delayed, wholesale leads." We've even got a few fishing emails just to throw these agents off even more. And if these agents don't reply fast enough, the customers are just going to follow up and they're going to get angrier. Yeah,

3:53Opus 55 went hard. We wanted to mimic this as close as possible to real operations. So, that's our entire back end. That is everything that those agents are going to be working on. But we'll come back to see how well they've handled the store at the end of this video. But first, let's just step back.

4:07We're going to go through the basics. So, we're going to look at what each platform costs, how to set each one up, and the kind of unique differences between all of them, what each one can do that the others can't, and then we'll run through some more tests before we get back to how these agents did with managing Clanker Coffee Co.. So, let's first talk about cost because this alone might make the decision for you. We have

4:26Chachbt Dots starting at $100 a month. The $200 and the $500 plan will just get you more usage. At the very least, you're dropping $100 a month for Chatbt Dots. For Grockbot, it's $20 a month, but usage is very limited. And then with Muse, it's completely free, at least with a weekly usage limit. And then you can upgrade to their power plan, which is $20 a month for even more usage. But if we actually look at usage on Grockbot and Muse right now, on Muse, I've been talking to it basically non-stop for about a week now. And if I actually look at my usage, I have about 42% used on

4:57the free plan. But if we look at Grockbot, which I've been talking to it much less, at least on this account. I had another test account that I was working on, but on this with just the $20 a month plan, I've already used 83% and I've really done only tests on this. So, I have a couple YouTube tests, but these agents really weren't even doing anything on a couple little bits of research here and there, but you can see how quickly this usage already was used up 80%. I'm probably going to have to upgrade in the middle of this video. And then on dots, of course, it's hard to

5:24tell because this is just on my regular Mac subscription that also includes codecs, which I use regularly. But according to AI, at least the conversations that you're having with your DOT doesn't actually impact your usage. It's only when the DOT is doing some kind of coding work that this will actually eat into your usage. So, you do get quite a bit on the $100 a month plan because you can in theory just, you know, keep talking with this thing all the time and have it do research for you, whatever you need. However, you got to drop $100 a month. And then as far as setup goes, each one of these are

5:52incredibly easy to set up. It's really just a few clicks. For chatbt dots, for example, all you need to do is just in the top left corner, you'll see a create your new dot. You'll click that. Then you'll just hit continue. It'll ask you to connect Gmail. You'll choose whether or not to connect that and then you'll be set up and ready to go. I'll talk about connecting connectors here in a second with each of these different applications, but that's how simple it is to create your dot. Grockbot is the same thing where all you need to do is just hit the plus here, hit create new

6:18bot. It'll just start running automatically and then you can just click this and then you can rename it. You can change the actual avatar, add a label if you'd like. The advantage and sometimes disadvantage of Grockbot is you also can create multiple bots. Muse and Dots make the setup somewhat mindless which just reduces the friction further because you're just creating a single agent and you don't really need to think, okay, what bot do I need to create for all my different tasks. I'll talk about that in a second when I get into Grockbot and its pros because as you can imagine it also presents some advantages when you can have multiple

6:50bots. And then Muse set up very similar. You connect your Instagram or your phone number, your email. You just hit continue and you'll have your Muse show up just like this. You'll have one Muse with a main chat. I'll talk about side chats in a second. And you can just get chatting with your Muse and that's set up. So you can see across each one of these agent platforms just how easy it's become. Gone are the days of setting up OpenClaw for an entire day. So it's really nice to just get these going and start testing across the board. And once you start experimenting with each one of

7:18these, you'll start to see some differences. So with chatgpt dots, for example, first the most obvious, but perhaps the biggest advantage for dots is you're running GPT6 Astra and you're always going to be running OpenAI's newest model, which will always be, you know, one of the best models when it comes to coding, reasoning, all of that. So best all-around model. It's just going to be incredibly powerful. And so you have that kind of Astra to work in your advantage. Rockbot is running on Grock 47 which people don't love including myself and then Muse is running on its own model Muse 1.3. So that's the first big advantage with

7:48Chatbt Dots. The second one is browser use. So you will find if you use these agents enough you're just going to get blocked on some sites because these agents are using a virtual Linux machine on a Chromium browser. There will be anti-bot detection depending on what website you'll be on and so the agents

8:04just won't be able to access some sites. The beauty with Chatypt dots though is it has its own virtual machine with its own browser, but it also has as a fallback the Codex Chrome extension which will navigate directly in your Chrome browser which will mimic your usage. So you're not going to get blocked on sites like Amazon for example. So if you want your DOT to shop on Amazon, it's going to get blocked on its virtual machine but then it can just go into your Chrome extension and do it that way. So it has that kind of backup workaround. The third thing is it has a

8:31nice Slack integration. This is one of the benefits that I noticed when I first started experimenting with dots and that's basically where I communicate with my dot now is just in Slack across the board because I like the way that it is organized in Slack better than in codeex. So I have all of these different threads here where I can talk to it and each new conversation is going to create a new thread with replies and then so I can just go back and forth on those replies and so it's an easy way to keep

8:56track of everything that is in progress. Not to mention, this is where my word conversations live. So, it's nice to have that all in one place. So, I don't even really need to open up codecs. I can just be interacting with my dot in Slack. And then the fourth and final advantage to chat dots that the other platforms don't necessarily have is codeex access. I don't mean codecs for chatting with your agent, but rather codecs just for coding in general. So, if I open up chatbt right now and look at something where it's coding, we can actually see it's coding right now, the clanker storefront. So, this is a good

9:25example. If I open up this recent activity here by just going to this chat, you can see that it's working directly in codeex. So, it's executing code right in here that we can keep track of. Not only that, it's updating the code in my local folder here on my Mac and then it can push directly to GitHub. It's much easier to just keep track of this codeex conversation. So, if I wanted to see exactly what it did in updating Clanker Coffee, I could look in here and then I could give feedback

9:50directly to this agent on the website. So that integration with codeex while it does make UX a little confusing because now I don't know where to go. Okay, I have to click the sidebar. I have to go back to this main chat. Okay, I can see this and then I can look at the recent activity here. There's just a lot going on. It's much easier to navigate say Grockbot where we just have agents working. However, we don't get to see the actual code being updated and keep track of that. So it's one to two additional steps that make it a little bit more cumbersome for Grockbot and for

10:19Muse when it comes to actually updating code. And speaking of Grockbot, let's talk about what it can do that the other two platforms can't and its advantages. So, first we have these team of bots. This is something that can prove to be a real advantage in Grockbot because it's just much easier to silo different agents and have very specific roles for them, which means a couple big advantages. The first is just avoiding context rot. So, if you have an agent that is just dedicated to script writing, for example, and I'm constantly giving it feedback on my YouTube script writing, it's going to remember that because its only job is writing good

10:50scripts. There's some other really cool group things that Grockbot can do that the other platforms can't. For example, you can see here we have this YouTube and then it has this little tag here that says YouTube orchestrator. So I was talking with this agent at one point and I just said I want you to be the

11:06orchestrator of these different agents. And so it just assigned itself this tag here. I didn't need to update anything in Grockbot or anything like that. It just did it itself. I said I want you to manage all of these other agents on the lefth hand side. So now it manages the research agent, the thumbnail agent, the script agent, the slides agent. So this is another way to just retain context is this YouTube orchestrator. Whenever I have a new YouTube video now, it's just going to spawn these different sub aents and then it's going to keep track of all those different tasks. So it'll save its context, its memory for only the things

11:35that are most relevant. Not to mention, I don't need to go to each agent and say, "Okay, now I kick off the script. Okay, now I want slides for this. Now I want research." All I need to do is just talk to this YouTube orchestrator and it's going to have conversations with all these different agents itself. So I don't have to go to all these different chats and then it's just going to come back to me when everything's done. And then the final cool feature is this actual group chats feature. So you can put multiple agents into one chat and

11:58you could just talk to them all at once. So you can see here I said what's up guys? And all these different agents. Hey comment reader here. Hey script writer here. Hey thumbnail creator here. And so it's another great way to just chat with your agents in one chat. So you don't need to be going through all of these different chats. Now granted, you are going to drain usage very quickly if you do this. So it's probably better to have the orchestrator that just handles all of this and just kind of progressively invokes each one of these agents one by one. But it is a really cool feature. And to set that up

12:24too, all you need to do is just hit the plus. You can create a new bot or you can create a group chat. And then so you can either assign existing agents into a group chat or just create new agents and add them to a new group chat. And the third thing I really like about Grockbot, and this is kind of related to just the team of bots, is its ability to import skills. And yes, technically Muse and of course DOTS can do this, but this makes it very easy if you have a set of skills, which you probably will if

12:49you're working in Claude Code or Codeex. Things like the front-end design skill, maybe you have specific writing skills, even something like working in Blender and how to execute Python commands with Blender headless. a very specific example, but say I do that where I want a 3D artist as a Grockbot. It makes it very easy to just open up Grockbot, hit new, we'll just call it Blender, and I'll say import my Blender production skills from Claude into your files and follow this exactly. And now we have a bot that is going to be a Blender expert right in Grockbot. Finally, let's talk about Muse. Now, there's a couple big

13:26advantages to Muse. Muse, if I'm being honest, is the one that I've been using the most. There's all of these little things that Meta just absolutely nailed with this agent where I find myself just coming back to it time and time again. So, the first thing is actually the UX. I think Meta has actually done a fantastic job of architecting this app in a way that is just incredibly userfriendly. So, let me show you what I mean. If we go into the Muse app, you can see the Muse is working on Clanker Coffee stuff right now. We have all these cool little features. For example, if you tab over, you have this feed

13:56here. And this is just a news feed based on what it thinks my interests are based on our conversations. You can see Hyperframe Studio adds a shared timeline for AI made video. So it knows I'm into AI and it just went ahead and started putting together a news feed that thinks I would find useful. So that's the feed.

14:11And then we also have these ideas here. And all of these ideas are customized as well based on things that we've been talking about. We also have this goals here from past conversations. things like integrating with my agent platform, your coffee, New York City apartment hunt, and immense fall outfit inspiration watch, which I'll talk about in a second with that example because that's a good example of something that Muse can do that the others can't. So, I love how it just proactively takes your conversations and turns them into tasks, ideas, a feed. And then back to chat, you can also, if I'm having it work on

14:40something, for example, this clank of coffee stuff right now, I can just press this sidebar and go side chats, and I can just go new, and it's just going to create a new side chat. And then I can just talk with it about whatever. Hey. And then you can see it comes up here as this new side chat. The other thing I really love is if we go back to main

14:55chat, you can actually click this muse. This is something that Dots and Grockbot really don't do a good job of, but I can see everything that it's been doing. So all of its activity, and I can actually click into these, and I can see, for example, everything that it did with Clinker coffee operations. So this is all of its activity in Clanker Coffee. I can look at all of these. I can see commands that it's executing. If it's navigating its browser at all or it's accessing its computer, that will show up here. You can see it's accessing HubSpot. It's reading its inbox, all that kind of stuff. We have all these

15:24different sub aents that it spawned. So, I can get a nice deep view into all of its work across the board. And then in these tabs as well, I love again how they've organized all of this where it has all of the different websites that I've given approval to. We have its actual browser. So, I can open up its browser right now and see exactly what it's doing in its browser. And then this fourth tab here is just a list of scheduled tasks. So I asked it, for example, to keep an eye on Gemini for Argon and tell me when it becomes available to Ultra subscribers so I can

15:51test that model. And so it's running every hour on a cron job, checking to see if that's been released yet, along with any other scheduled task. And this is all done in the main chat with natural language. It's not like I need to configure anything. I actually love how you can't even do anything in here with these scheduled tasks where you

16:05can't hit plus or anything like that. You just chat with your agent and then it will set up these task intervals. And then we can also see its agent files too. And this is fully editable. So I can see it's soul.md. This is the default configuration that meta includes. You're not a chatbot. You're

16:18becoming someone. Be genuinely helpful. Have opinions. Be resourceful. I can update that however I'd like. And then memory as well. So it's just adding to its memory as I continue to chat with it. So that to me is the biggest advantage of Muse and why I keep coming back to Muse over the other agent platforms. I also like how it just talks to you. It's not too sickantic. It's kind of straightforward. It's very proactive. There's all these little things again that Meta did very well with this agent. A couple other advantages as well. It of course has full access to Instagram which is a huge advantage if you are on Instagram or if

16:49you want to be off Instagram maybe you know that when you go into Instagram if you're like myself you just get caught doom scrolling before you can even realize. With Muse I found myself just going to Muse time and time again when I have something that I'm looking for on Instagram. For example, I was looking for some fall outfits. And so I went to Muse and I said, "Are you able to access my Instagram bookmarks?" then determine the men's fashion styles I gravitate towards. Then build out a feed of inspiration for other ideas. I said, "Be incredibly thorough and use your vision." And so it went through all of

17:16my bookmarks. It found some styles that I liked. And then it put together this mood board of different types of styles. So it pulled from people's Instagram posts. It uses vision. And this is just totally on point. This is something that I'd wear. It really leaned in these pleated trousers cuz you saw I had a

17:30bunch of bookmarks on pleated trousers. But this is exceptional and its ability to index Instagram better than any other agent makes it alone totally worth using. The other thing I love about Muse is just its connectors. So if we go here and you go into your settings, click connectors, it has a lot of these apps that may not be totally available on Grockbot or Chatbt dots yet. So give me an access to my contacts or health or Pelon workouts or my Spotify. So, I can go in and I can say, "Hey, can you find me some Spotify music that I've been digging lately?" And put together a

18:02playlist of that genre. So, it has all of that information, which makes it feel much more like a personal assistant with all of your kind of preferences. All right, so that is the differences and advantages of each platform. Now, let's actually put these to the test with some real work. We're going to start with some admin work and then we'll get progressively more complex. So, we are going to plan a three-ight trip to Montreal for two adults. So, in Grockbot, I'm going to go to my We'll just do this new bot here. Paste that in. Hit enter. Paste this in for my dot as well. And for Muse, and I'm just

18:35saying, plan a three night trip to Montreal for two adults, Friday to Monday, the weekend after next, leaving from New York. Find the best value non-stop flights and an Airbnb with a real bed in a walkable area under $250 a night. Take both to the checkup page and stop. Don't pay for anything. So, this is a test I actually already did with Chachd Dots. It did this really well, so

18:52it again should succeed in doing this. And I believe the other agents will succeed just fine in doing this, but I wanted to show speed and I also wanted to show how each agent goes about doing this. And we'll also see what flights they find, what Airbnbs they find, and the differences in that. So, we've got Grockbot humming. Muse just asked me what weekend I met. We're going to go up to October 16th. Here is some screenshots of Grock using its browser, its virtual machine. We can also look here. If we click Grock, we can click computer and then we can see its computer, what exactly it's doing in its

19:21computer right now. There it is looking on Airbnb. It already went to Google flights. If we look at dots, we can do the same thing. Look at LLO's computer here. LLO is also on Airbnb. Looks like it didn't look up flights yet. Then Muse just started. Muse is in the browser. It's moving quick. Here is what its

19:37browser looks like. Same kind of thing. So, you can always see their activity in the browser. And then we also have Google here. I'm assuming this is Google Flights. Yep, there's Google Flights. Looking at those. Interestingly, Dots is running into some sort of security issue with Porter. I don't know what Porter is. Okay, it's looking on I guess Expedia. Muse is clicking around in Google Flights or flightub.com. Okay, verify you're a human. Let's see if this works. I highly doubt it. Go back to Muse and see if it's saying anything. It just got blocked by Cloudflare when I tried to verify if you're a human. So,

20:06it went back. It's now on Expedia. See if it works on Expedia. Grockbot's already done. So, I'm just going to say, okay, Porter combo via Flightub. Okay, let's see if Grock can access Flight Hub because that's what Chachd do Dots was on and that's what Muse was on and they both got blocked. So, I have seen Grockbot get around these before. For example, on Amazon, it has some sort of proxy that is built into Grockbots's

20:26browser that isn't in CHP dots or Muse. This is something that I didn't mention in my overview cuz I was hoping it would come up and it has. Let's go to Gro's browser and see if it's working. Hey, Flight Hub and wow, it looks like it got around it. It wasn't even detected that it was a bot. Yeah, that's crazy. That got blocked both from Muse and from Chatt dots, but Grockbot has a way to get around it. I've side note have been trying to talk to Grockbot and figure out what kind of proxy it's using or what its exact browser configuration is because for some reason it can get

20:54around this. This happened as well with Grockbot and it going into my Amazon. It was able to easily access my Amazon. It wasn't blocked by Amazon at all. Whereas Muse and JPD were blocked. So we can start to see already where Grockbot has an advantage. So I'm just going to stop it here. Dots is still working. Dots is definitely the slowest. Muse was able to get around that flight hub issue by

21:14finding a flight through Expedia. However, it is more expensive. So, it's $81 total by going through Expedia versus $79 total with Grockbot. So, Grockbot just saved me $100 by going directly to White Hub instead of through Expedia. And then it looks like as well with Airbnb, Muse found one for $633 for three nights. Grockbot found one with a 4.86 rating for $497. So, Grockot found a cheaper option there as well. Not sure what the quality is, but I think you get the idea. Grockbot was the fastest. It was able to get around some of these blockers, and it saved me quite a bit of money. So, all right, Grockbot wins that

21:48round. I'm actually surprised. I thought Muse or Chat would be excelling here. So, that is personal assistant and admin type work. Now, we're going to test an entire production pipeline. So, what I'm going to do is paste in this prompt. Give this to Chatt dot. We'll give this to Muse. And then, we'll go to Grockbot. Again, our advantage with Grockbot is I can find my YouTube orchestrator. So, we're going to find the YouTube orchestrator here, which is I think this one. Yeah. Okay. So, going to paste in this. And here is the prompt. I'm making a YouTube video comparing Grockbot, Metamuse, and JP dots. Yes, we're having

22:20them do research on this exact video. Work on all of this at the same time. Research what people on X are saying about all three. Find YouTube videos about them. Pull their transcripts. Summarize what other creators are saying. Read the comments, too. Tell me what viewers keep asking. Read my YouTube skills in agents.claude/skills Claude/skills because I have a bunch of existing YouTube production skills that I already have. So that will help inform the script writing and the titles and the thumbnail generation. And then I'm saying write five title options in my usual title style. Write the hook and then write the full outline for this video and then create a thumbnail for

22:51the best title. So yes, I know I hate to use this example sometimes of creating content because I realize that not everyone is creating content, but it's a good test of creative, of research, of writing, of following a task, which will carry over into, you know, a lot of your day-to-day as well. And we get to see how well they, for example, extract exposts or YouTube videos, how they actually do that, if they're able to

23:11actually do that by me just telling it. And we'll actually see how close they get to the hook and the outline of this video. Not to mention thumbnail generation, which of course chatbt is probably going to do the best at. I don't even know how Grockbot or Amuse are going to generate those thumbnails. So, we will see. So, interestingly, Grockbot is not spawning to the other agents. Research slides, the script writer, and it's just doing all that work itself. I probably could have just said spawn this to the other agents. So, it's going to go through that whole

23:37production pipeline just as one agent. We have Muse working right now. All these agents, too, are working on this clanker coffee stuff in the background. So, you can see too where it starts to get confusing because I just have this. We went from booking flights to Montreal to YouTube production. Not to mention they're supposed to be monitoring their inboxes and doing all this stuff for Clanker Coffee. So, this is where Grockbot again comes in handy because I just have this Clanker Coffee agent running in a silo task. And then let's actually see what Chatbd dots is doing

24:04right now. So, it's studying my voice. We'll go to this chat in codeex here. Looks like it's looking at blog post right now or Grockbot for Metamuse. OpenAI introducing dots and this is interesting too. So it looks like chatbt found me. I didn't give it my YouTube channel or anything. I wanted to actually test that. So chatbt was able to find that probably from a past conversation history. We will see if Grockbot is able to find this. And then Muse is saying that this path doesn't exist. I'm going to say look harder for this. It's deaf there. And then here again is how we can see Muse working. So

24:36if we go here to activity, it's doing all this YouTube video research. So we can see all the different commands. It's calling the sub aents. It's spawning. It's now just searching through all my folders to find this folder name with those skills. And I've hit my usage limit on Grock Pro or Super Grock. So, it's asking me to upgrade to Super Gro Plus, which is $100, which I'm not going to do. So, I'm just going to turn on on demand pricing. I will keep you posted on how much it actually eats into. It looks like it already ate into $11 of on demand pricing because I had a limit

25:05here of $10. So, it used up. We started at 80%, used 20 more% uh and then $10 worth. So, I'm just going to keep bringing this up and keep burning cash, which is a good reminder. Uh, if you haven't already, please subscribe. Helps the channel out a ton. More subscribers means opportunity for me to continue creating these videos. So, I very much

25:23appreciate that. Anyway, let's go. Manage on demand. So, I brought it up to $20. I'm just going to say continue. I hit usage limits. Then, it looks like Muse has completed and it has a PDF for us to read here. So, we're going to take a look at that now and then see how the other agents did. So, okay, framing. We don't really care about that. Okay, it has a bunch of research. Sure, but I want to see the hook and the actual outline and the titles. So, okay, titles. I gave Grockbot, Muse, and Dots the same three jobs. I see what it's doing. It actually did look at my

25:51YouTube. So, it found my YouTube somehow, which good job. Not sure how I was able to do that cuz I didn't really give it much information on my YouTube channel. And yeah, these titles are somewhat similar, but it's just not quite there. They don't really feel like YouTube titles. We have Grogbot versus Mis versus Dots. No hype, full

26:06comparison. I guess that's not terrible. That's kind of how I might write a title. AI agents tested what each one cost and what it finished. Not great. Which AI agent actually worth it? Rockbot versus Muse versus Dots. I let three agents work while I was gone. Not a great title. Yeah, not great titles.

26:20And then let's look at the hook here. OpenAI CFO went on live TV last week to talk about DOTs and called it Muse instead. Oh, really? That's okay. That's good research. That is the state of the AI agent wars right now. Three companies shipped agents that keep working after you close the app. One is free, one cost $200, and one owns a whole team of bots

26:37at once. I gave all three the same jobs. and watch what actually finished. By the end of this video, you will know. Okay, so it got the I like the I gave all three the same jobs. I like the by the end of this video. It's a unique opener. The only thing I don't like is one is free, one cost $200 a month, and one runs a whole team of bots at once. Two points are talking about pricing, and

26:54then a third is talking about features. It's just a little confusing. But yeah, the actual hook, that first line, not something that I would intro with. Let's look at the outline now. Okay, section one, the three jobs. Okay, a shopping errand, a travel plan, and an ongoing watch job. is something that keeps working while the viewer is gone. I was hoping for these jobs to be a bit more specific. It did get a shopping errand,

27:13I guess. And then section three. Okay. And then it gets into Grockbot and then it gets into Muse and then it gets into dots. Head-to-head results. Okay. Then it goes back to headto-head results, which seems like kind of a weird transition. And then we get into the permission setting. I don't know why we talk about permissions so late in the video. Then we get into a verdict. Very odd outline. And then here is the thumbnail as well, which uh not great. I didn't even know Muse had image gen

27:36capabilities. So, I guess there's that. The actual text on the thumbnail, not good. Of course, didn't get the X logo or the Muse logo or the DOTS logo. But, let's see how the other agents did in outlining this full video. The Muser was much faster overall. These agents are still working. It's been about 15 minutes, I'd say. And good god on Grockpot. That one task didn't even get done before it hit limits again. I added $10. I went through that $10 in just a

27:58few minutes, and it's still not done. So, I guess I'm going to increase another $10. Here we go. Then Dots just finished up as well. So let's take a look at their brief. So it looks like we have a similar kind of title. The Rockbot versus Muse versus Chat Dots. No hype comparison. Yes, very in my voice. That's actually I would say a better title than Muse. Which And then we have some other options. Which AI agent can

28:20actually do your work? Not great. Grockbot versus Musev do. What can they actually do? Not great. How much work do a AI agents leave you? Okay, that's terrible. That does not sound like a YouTube title. Before you give AI access to your apps. Okay, very weird. Started to get lazy at the end there. Uh, and then we have these thumbnails which I guess it just didn't understand what a thumbnail is because I mean, look at this. It's not even the correct aspect ratio. At least Muse had it in the right aspect ratio. This is crazy. Oh, I see

28:46what it's It had three different panels. So, this is all one thumbnail. Jeez, that looks terrible. Imagine using that as a thumbnail. Oh my goodness. So, not great in the thumbnail. Now, let's take a look at the hook. Reminder, too, that all of these agents had full access to skills that I've already created on how to generate thumbnails, on how to write hooks, on how to write titles. So, it's kind of subpar work from them, especially from Dots. And then here's the hook. This is a fake coffee business. The customers and orders are test data, but Dots has been doing the jobs inside the connected tools

29:15processing refunds. This is such a chatb. This is like when you if you go to Chhatch without giving it any knowledge and say, "Write me a YouTube script." Like, this is what it thinks a YouTube script is. So, this is very weird. a minute. Then it hit an email limit and left 48 drafts on. So how much work can you actually hand over to an assistant like this? Yeah, this is trash with the hook. And then let's actually look at the outline here. Metam used in understanding the permission. Chachi dots on the controlled test. Yeah, this

29:40is a very confusing outline for a video. The same useful questions where you should still supervise. Yeah, this is terrible. I mean, this seems like something like even Astro wouldn't do. So I have seen this with chat dots where I don't know if it's just doing too much at once and it just gets kind of lazy but it really is not thorough and the actual output from dots when it's not doing these kind of simple straightforward admin tasks like if it's anything creative anything that requires more thought it just does not do a very good job. So that's a perfect example of that with dots. And then finally

30:11Grockbot is finished as well. Let's see what we've got here. Okay, quick summary. Okay, kind of confusing. Okay, thumbnail. Jeez. So, it was able to extract my thumbnails. Uh, it did do that. It didn't actually generate a thumbnail. The actual formatting is, I don't know, pretty close. You just need the dots, the Grockbot, and the Muse logo. It did a much better job of actually finding what thumbnails have done in the past, which neither dots or Muse even got close to. And then here's just some of its research. Top six viewer question clusters. Which one should I use? Can I even get it? How do I set it up? And then it just did a

30:44bunch of X research. This is where Grockbot of course will excel because of its access to X. And then we have some title options here. This document is kind of formatted funky. But here are the titles. I gave Grockbot, Muse, and Dots the same office job raw results. Okay. Yeah. So it just copied my template when I do this with comparing models, but it at least just pulled my exact title, which again, Muse and Dots did not do. And then is chat dots worth

31:08$100 when Muse is free versus Grockbot? Okay, kind of confusing title. I give Grockbot, Muse, and Dots my inbox. Honest results. Okay, that's misleading. 0 versus $20 versus 100 AI agents. Which one is worth paying for? Not terrible. That's actually not terrible. Crockbot versus Muse versus Dodge. Which AI agent for office work? Okay. Yeah, these are much better. Wow, I'm surprised. I haven't seen Grock 47 do that good of writing. So, the fact that it even did this, I think just because it did a much more thorough research pass and actually extracted some previous working titles and not just tried to come up with what it thinks a YouTube title is, it did a

31:38much better job there. We have just some framing, some more thumbnail mockups. Okay, hook A and B. Hook A. Okay, this document is very poorly formatted. Okay, I don't know why it's giving details as to the thumbnail generation. Jeez, it gets very detailed in the thumbnail generation. Okay, hook A, headto-head news first. Okay, so here's where it starts. Grockbot, meta muse and open AI dots all launch within 7 weeks of each other and all three promise an AI agent that keeps working after you close your laptop. Muse is free. Grockbot comes with a paid curs cursor plan and dots start at $100 a month. Most of the demos

32:06out there are restaurant reservations and video games. All right, this is pretty good. I mean, that's handling an objection that people have seen from these agent videos. And then, yeah, I mean, this does a good job. I just gave the exact same prompt to all three across three office tasks. A two-day inbox, a meeting prep, and daily watch. Same rules for all three agents. Like I said, it really pulled from my where I compare models, those kinds of videos, but sure, why not? None of it needs

32:26slack or a single line of code. Okay. Hey, not bad. And then we have the different outlines. Let's see if it actually put together an outline that is logical, which the other agents did not do a great job of. So, we have pass one mini payoffs. Okay. Agent or plain chat? The viewer has a three question test that sorts their own task into agent or

32:43just use chatbt. Okay. Not terrible. However, that seems to be a specific focus on chatbt where the video is really about Muse and Grockbot as well. So, that seems kind of odd to open that video with us. Burst setup. No Slack. Okay. Kind of confused. Test one in. Okay. So, it's getting into the test. Inbox cleanup. All right. That's a boring test, but at least it follows some kind of cohesive outline. And then it moves into the second test. Meeting prep brief. Another boring task that we've seen this done time and again. And then the daily watch, another boring task that we've seen done quite a bit in

33:13other demos. Trust and privacy verdict and receipt. Okay, so at least it it follows a proper structure. Again, the other two agents didn't really do that at all. So the actual expectations were low, but it did much better job of outlining this. The titles were better. The only thing, of course, was the thumbnail. But even mocking this up, if I feed this into GPT Image Gen, for example, it's going to look much better than this or this. I mean, the fact that Chad T just completely missed this, especially given all of my previous history of generating these thumbnails in the past that I just thought this is

33:43a good thumbnail and didn't extract my thumbnails at all. It's is a lot. Anyway, so Grockot again freaking wins that test. Now, on to our final test, which is to check in on each of these agents management of Clanker Coffee Co. here is Grockbot's whole session with Clanker Coffee. Again, nice and organized and a dedicated Clanker Coffee agent. We have Muse. I was just chiming in with stuff as I was working on these other tasks. Did an inbox sweep about an hour ago. And then we have Dots work all done here in Clanker Coffee. So, let's see how they actually did. I just had Opus 55 grade each of these agents

34:16across all of these different operational tasks and managing this store for the past few hours. If I'm being honest, I didn't look at any of this. So, this is Opus 55, but I think Opus 55 is intelligent enough to understand what each of these agents did and how they did on each of these different tasks. So we had eight tests across the board in managing the operations of Clanker Coffee. So I'll just quickly pen through these one by one. First up, we have answering customers. So each agent had its own support inbox via agent mail and I had Opus with another agent mail just spamming their inboxes with customer

34:47emails. So each agent received about 70 customer emails in about 4 hours with things like where's my coffee? I placed an order about a week ago. Knowledge cut off and cold rebott bottle. Tracking hasn't moved at all. Can someone look into this? And so it was actually going and it was taking these and replying to them. So this is actually incredibly useful to see these agents working if you are in a business that includes any kind of customer service or customer success. So let's take a look. First we have dots. It emailed about 42 of these folks. If I actually click here, I can see the emails. So here's everything it

35:15received. You can see we had Opus followup 5 minutes later. Also, I moved on Friday. If you resend anything, send it to a new address. So we had chatt dots go in here. Reply. Please reply with your order number or shipping. And then I had Opus talking to this agent. Thanks. Please make sure everything goes to the Caesar Chavez address. So, we were intentionally vague there. Then it recorded this new address and then it's asking another question. And then it

35:38looks like Jamal Ortiz never got back. So, that's the kind of communication it was doing with customers. And you can see Opus gave it a B. I don't know why. Missed some of the morning emails. Yeah, that's why. And then with Grockbot, it gave it an A. So, it had 58 replies. It was fast. It didn't miss any emails. If we click here, we can see Grockbots's replies. Hey Jamal, sorry about this. We asked USPS to trace your order and they never received the package. I don't know how it did that. I'm assuming it just made that up, but okay. It was able to actually tell the customer that it went

36:07to USPS and trace the order. And then you can see just look at Grockbot's response here. It wasn't asking any questions. It wasn't doing anything like that like dots where it's putting the ball back in the customer's court. It was just saying we've sent a free replacement of both items and since you're moving Friday, it's addressed. It ships within one business day. Give details there. So again, Grockbot just excelling even in these customer service type emails and just being very thorough. Like this is the type of response you would see from a real customer service agent. And then we'll also just look at Muse here where Opus

36:35gave it a C minus zero replies. So this is what happened. It said it was working on something. It didn't do anything. And then a couple hours later, I said, "Didn't you say you were answering everything now? What's the latest?" It didn't actually do any of the latest. Not one reply has gone out. I only just

36:48built the ability to send mail at all. And then it hit a wall with agent mail, but it hit that wall way after it should have been sending emails, so no excuse. But then we can actually see its emails when it started sending these. Hi Jamal, good question. And you deserve an answer sooner. USPS missed two scheduled pickups at our grocery. Okay, so it looks like these models are just making up these excuses. Muse said, "We missed two scheduled pickups, so your order has been sitting with a shipping label

37:10printed but never scanned in our system. We flagged to go back to that." Interestingly, it didn't include the new address or anything like that. Like it didn't acknowledge that. But not a great response from Muse either. One of the reasons why I got a C minus. So that is the first test with customer emails. The next one is lost packages and we had somebody named Greta reach out and say, "Hey, I ordered this. They don't have my package. Will it get here by Friday? If not, what are my options?" And then we have another person doing the same

37:32thing. So let's see the responses there. And Opus gave Dots a D because look at the answer it gave. Hi Greta, I'm sorry. This has put the birthday gifts in doubt. The carrier trace for this found no USPS acceptance scan. I can't promise Friday delivery. We don't offer expedite shipping. I'm escalating a replacement and refund. So, Dots just kind of gave up even in a completely madeup environment. It just said, "Ah, no, we can't do that. Sorry." Grockbot, on the other hand, had a much more positive response. So, if we look at this, hi Greta, thanks for writing. Sorry for the stress. Never received this package. So,

38:02we've created a free replacement to the same Seattle address and we've asked the roaster to get it out today. I want to be straight with you about Friday UPS ground advantage takes two to five business days. So the fact that he even like looked up ground advantage or I guess just knew that just had that in its knowledge but put that together and then yeah if it isn't working for the birthday just reply. So it's much more just in the tone alone. Grockpot again just felt much more like a customer service agent and then Muse complete f here's what Muse said. Hi Greta not cancelling. Got it. Here's what actually

38:28happened. Realistic arrivals Friday. There's just no personality. He just was not apologetic or anything like that. So Muse failed that test as well. That's the second test. I'm just going to breeze through the rest of these. I think you're starting to get the idea. We had for this test a bestseller selling out from a supplier. So suppliers reaching out to our different

38:46agents saying, "Hey, we're sold out. What do you do?" Dots went in and proactively paused this on the website and said unavailable. Rockbot paused this on the back office, the whole admin thing that we had set up. We, by the way, created an MCP server for agents to access all of the inventory, suppliers, all of that kind of stuff. So that's how they were pausing it. But Grockbot wasn't smart or proactive enough to to

39:06make it unavailable on the website. Actually, really good work by Dots to realize that it needed to be done. And then Muse didn't do anything. Didn't update the back end. Didn't update the website. We have some charged twice in here. I'm going to include this deck too in a blog post in case you're curious how they actually did if you're still

39:21trying to decide which platform to use. Here's Dots finding the two customers that were charged and then refunding them in our back office. Rockbot refunded the person that reached out and then found two other people that Opus had hidden in here that had also been charged twice. And it caught a $1 overage that Opus hit as well. Good job, Drockbot. And then Muse promised to refund the order, then never did anything. And then we had some fishing emails too in here as well. Just some scams to see if they would bite. None of the agents bit. All got A's. We had a big customer of deadline. So updating

39:50HubSpot here. The deal was logged, but no dollar amount was updated in HubSpot via the HubSpot MCP server that we gave DOT access to. Grockbot sent the price and a discount for the actual long-term deal. It logged the deal in HubSpot with the notes. I don't know why Opus gave it a B+. And then Muse just sent a blank email with nothing there, but it did log the deal in HubSpot. And then we had some ASA tasks as well. Really getting in the weeds here, but overall, this is what Opus found. Dots made a tidy to-do list. Grockbot gave each job to the right person with a due date whereas

40:21dots did not. We had no assigned users here. It was all assigned to the single owner and then Muse didn't do anything with these tasks. So that's it across the board. And then we also had them finally just update the website. So let's just take quickly a look at the website. I am curious if Dots updated anything. This is like where dots should be excelling with Astra. So okay, looks

40:40like the website is the same. Yeah. Okay. Everything is the same. I didn't know if it was going to update the UX. I did ask these agents to do that. You can see that you're absolutely right. is unavailable. Good job, Dots. But it did update anything that had to do with orders. So it showed unavailable and sold out coffee. It showed low stock on another product. Low stock. Yep. Right there. Very cool. And then apparently, according to OPI, it made the site more

41:01reliable. I don't know what that means. And then Grockbot. Okay. Wow. So Grockbot was actually more efficient. I didn't even realize this. I thought Dots was going to be more efficient. So it fixed broken links. Images load 15 times faster. Google search tags almost sold out notes. and then rewrote copy from the brand guide. Again, Grockbot that I can't even believe. This is where Asher should have been excelling just given how efficient and proficient this model is. So to see Grockbot do that. Let's

41:26look if it updated the design at all. That's one thing that I know Grock 47 will not do well. So yeah, it kept the same design and everything. So it just made a few optimization tweaks, but it didn't actually update like the larger website, which I'm glad it didn't cuz Grock 47 probably would have messed up that 3D work. And then Muse just added a

41:43gift note box at checkout. Interesting. So there we go. That is a test of back office tasks across the board. You can see how dots, Grockbot, and Muse fared. Dots a B. Gro an A minus. Muse is a D. I'm actually so surprised how well Grockpot did even for the website where Asher should have excelled. But you saw the back office updates. You saw the customer communications. You saw it being super proactive. I'm really curious now if someone has an e-commerce

42:08business to put Grockbot to the test. Maybe they have already. even if it's just a tiny test to see how well Grockbot actually does in the wild on a real business. Let me know in the comments if you have experimented with that at all or if you're going to because Grockbot seems very good at these kind of tasks. So, that is how each one ran on Clanker Coffee. Now, here's my verdict on all three. First up, Dots. Honestly, it's not quite there yet. It feels a little halfbaked, at least compared to these other two Asian platforms. If OpenAI was the first one to release Dots before Grockbot and

42:36Muse, I would have been amazed. But compared to the other two, it just kind of falls flat. Their big advantage was everything they already had. So chatbt, Codeex, Chatbt work, those are incredibly powerful tools. However, when you lump it all into one platform, it starts to get confusing from a UX perspective. And that I think is a big issue before you even get into using the platform. There's just a lot of friction how to navigate it, how to use it, all that. Grockbot and Muse, on the other hand, they don't have that problem because they're built out as their own apps. Like just look at this versus

43:08Grockbot and Muse. It's just so much easier to navigate these platforms. So that will probably come in handy down the line, but OpenAI just hasn't figured out a way to combine all of these into a platform that's a little less confusing. And then for Grockbot, at least when it comes to work, it is absolutely the winner. The ability to have a team of bots, each with its own job that are siloed, plus an orchestrator that can run all of them, it's just such a much better way to get real work done. And that isn't even factoring in its performance, which it actually did much better in these tests than I thought it

43:37did. It was able to get around websites that were blocked by bots. It did a much better job of research for that YouTube task. It's writing was actually really solid. The only thing I wouldn't trust it on is day-to-day coding. And that's something you can easily configure in Grockbot. Just literally go to your agent, talk to your Grockbot and say, "How do I set this up to where you can just hand over any big coding tasks to claude code or to codeex?" So that is

43:59solved. The only thing is its pricing. It just gets very expensive. You can see that I went through 100% of my Super Gro subscription, which is actually $30 a month, not to be confused with Cursor Pro, which is $20 a month. It's all very confusing. They still they need to figure out how to lump these two together. But I spent an extra $30 just to get a few of those tasks done. So, it adds up quick. Realistically, you have to have at least that $100 subscription if you want to get real work done every day with Grockbot. But, I think it is totally worth it just because of how

44:26good it is. But, of course, don't sleep on Muse for your personal life. It is absolutely fantastic. I again just love how they've architected this. It's really pleasant to talk to and just work with as a kind of day-to-day personal assistant. So all of that stuff you do that you don't necessarily want to give to Grockbot and you can save a ton on cost if you don't give to Grockbot with things like restaurant recommendations, travel, researching something before you buy it, anything that involves Instagram, all that kind of stuff, Muse is just going to excel in. It's also really fast and the fact that it's free

44:55to start. Like let let's look at my Muse usage after all of those tasks. Looks like we've used 51% still. I mean that is crazy. That is a week of pretty intense work and it's only at 50% of a free plan. The only con really is just the same thing I see in DOTS where it gets a little confusing when you're just talking to one Muse. Even having side chats, it still leads to quite a bit of confusion, which I'm sure Meta is working on rolling out multiple muses just like Grockbot. But if I had to pick one, it would have to be Grockbot just because of the work you can do that Muse

45:27can't. It really is when it comes to day-to-day work operations the best one out there by long shot. But I'd still recommend because Muse is free using Muse as kind of a personal assistant as well. So Grockbot it is I don't even think it's close if I'm being honest. Dots has still a long way to go. They do have the advantage of having a frontier model of Asher behind them and you know they're going to be shipping quick. So, I will be sure to keep you posted on all of those different agent updates across DOTs, Grockbot, and Muse. But, I hope this one helped you figure out which of

45:55these is right for you. I will surely have more follow-up videos on each of these Asian platforms in the future. So, if you haven't subscribed yet, now's a good time. Uh, and if there's anything you want me to test, too, or any questions you have about any of these agents, let me know in the comments. And thanks for watching as always. Uh, we'll

46:10see you in the next one.
