0:00Just a month apart, Elon and Zuckerberg shipped the same idea, an AI that doesn't just talk, it gets its own cloud computer, logs into your accounts, and keeps working while you sleep. Grokbot gives you the whole team of AI co-workers or agents, while Meta Muse gives you one assistant that runs everything. One starts at 20 bucks, and the other one is free with extra usage available at a cost. I've had Grokbots running my website and my X account for a couple weeks. Now, Muse gets the same jobs, and we're going to put it to the test, and by the end, you'll know which AI assistant is worth the money and is

0:43right for you. All right, so first things first, let's talk about the pricing, because this is probably going to be the number one factor when people are deciding which AI assistant is going to be the best for their use case. Now, for pricing specifically for Grok, there actually is no free tier. This is a free

1:02tier. This is the Cursor pricing here. And I'm on the Cursor page because this is the absolute cheapest pricing to get any sort of Grokbot usage. So, the $20 a month plan is the cheapest possible plan that you can get in the Cursor website to get any Grokbot usage, and they don't even tell you how much usage that actually is. Meanwhile, Meta Muse has a very generous free tier that gives you

1:27100 million tokens. And it is very generous from what I can tell so far. It is almost as good, if not better, than using the $20 a month Cursor plan for Grokbot. Now, if you do need more usage, you can upgrade, and both these have upgrade paths you if you need more usage. So, for example here, you can get 500 million tokens, or 5x the usage, for just $16 a month, or 3 billion tokens for $80 a month. So, Muse gives you much more usability when it comes to their plans. Meanwhile, on the Grok Bot side of things, if you need more usage, the next tier is $60. Well,

2:11actually, there's a super Grok tier, but it gives you just as much usage as Pro as far as I can tell. Then, there's a $60 tier on Cursor, and then there is the Ultra $200 plan. And if you need even more usage, there is a $300 super Grok plan, but they don't even tell you if you're going to get more usage even out of that plan compared to this $200 per month plan. And a quick tip on the Muse pricing, you can actually get this for cheaper if you subscribe through the web browser or the actual PC app. And what I mean by that is if you go through

2:48your actual Android phone or your iOS, your iPhone, it's going to cost $20 per month for 500 weekly Muse tokens, or $100 per month for 3 billion weekly Muse tokens. And they do that just because of the fees associated with both the Play Store and the App Store on Apple. All right, now, really quick, let's go through some of the pros and cons of using both Grok Bot and Muse. Now, Grok Bot, some of the pros are you can have a bunch of custom bots that you can actually share with other people. Bots can coordinate with each other. So, you can say things like, "Hey, I want you to

3:24go do this, but go check with Calvin, who's like our coder, and I want him to go do this task." Then, Calvin can delegate to his team, so it's really nice in the fact that all the bots can communicate with each other, and you can start group chats, which is super awesome. The next biggest pro of Grok Bot is the Cursor coding platform integration. So, it has a full Cursor online agent platform that it'll link to in the cloud, and it'll do full coding

3:53tasks with Grok 4.7. Another big pro of Grok bot and this is the same with Muse is it has computer use and local access. Now, Muse has local access if you have it running on a Mac, but it's still only limited to your files, whereas Grok bot can actually do a full control of your computer. So, it has its own computer in the cloud just like Muse, but it also can control your local machine. And then the final huge pro is live voice. Now, live voice is amazing. You can essentially set it up so every single bot has its own voice and I could be in my phone and I could

4:33be like, "Hey, I need you to do this, this, and this, and this." And it'll talk back to me. I could be on my walk and I can set different voices for each Grok bot. Right now, [music] in Muse's current state, it cannot even talk back to you. You can dictate to it, but it's going to return the information back to you in a text on your device. So, right now there is no voice back and forth

4:59voice call type situation with Muse. That is a Grok bot only feature. Hopefully, we see that with Muse because you can actually use it on your phone and replace your assistant. So, it'd be really nice to see. Some cons with Grok bot itself. It's the same thing with you're using Muse is you have to trust one company. In this case, with Grok bot, you have to trust XAI with your personal data. It also is paid access only as we just went through. The cheapest plan is $20 per month. It shares files and sign-ins. Now, I don't know if this is particularly a con. I had this all built up with Astra. I gave

5:39it a bunch of information and it built out this PowerPoint for me, which is pretty cool. But, they all share one computer. And actually, this could be a pro for a lot of people, in the fact that you could have it coordinate on that machine and go and get the files that it needs to and then send those to other agents. Another big con is more roles to manage and clear ownership and handoff to take attention. So, essentially, if you have a bunch of different bots [music] and they all have their own individual task rather than just one agent that handles everything, it can get a little

6:10confusing, especially if you start getting too many Grok bots in your ecosystem or in your system. And then another thing is unattended work can stop. So, this is also a con with [music] Meta Muse, whereas if it logs out, you have to intervene. It has side restrictions, approvals, and if it doesn't know to actually run on a schedule and you don't delegate to do that, then it won't. Whereas Meta Muse is actually a little more proactive with things like when an email comes in, it'll see it immediately and warn you about it if it looks like something that's fishy or something that [snorts] I need to pay attention to. Whereas with

6:48Grok bot, it does have web hook, but it's a lot harder to set up and it mostly just runs right now the best way on scheduled tasks throughout the day on a time basis. Now, moving on to Meta Muse, the pros is it has a free tier for everyday use, which is really nice. It is very generous right now. It gives you quite a bit of usage and even if you need more usage, you only have to pay an additional $16 and that'll probably cover most everyone. The next pro with Meta Muse is it is very proactive, like I was just talking about earlier. Like for example, like I was saying, if I get

7:29like a email or like a sponsor email, it'll see it immediately. Now, I have them both doing the same task, but whereas with Grok bot, I have a sponsor agent, but it only will scan those emails once per day, whereas Muse kind of sees them as they're coming in, and it'll be like, "Hey, there's another

7:49sponsor opportunity. Check this out." Like just immediately. So, it's stuff like that where I really like how proactive Muse is, and also is very proactive with things [music] like adding a custom feed or different dashboards that give you way more information within the actual Muse app, [music] which we'll go through in a little bit here. The next big pro for Muse is bookings, reservations, and shopping. So, Grok Bot can do this as well, but Muse is much better at actually storing things like credentials in a secure way, and able to set up reservations and things like that that Grok Bot can do, but it takes a lot more

8:33effort and a lot more tinkering to get it to work. So, for example, like Muse could search like a bunch of different airlines and literally book it for you, and send you like an approval, and be like, "Hey, can I book this with the card on file?" Which is pretty cool. And another big pro of using Muse is you can set up these things like mini apps inside of Muse. So, they're called artifacts or dashboards, and you could be like, "Hey, I want a dashboard for tracking my finances. I want a dashboard for tracking my health." Can you build me a Tetris game? I literally tried

9:11that, and it worked. Like pretty much anything you can think of, you can build apps inside of Muse to help you with your everyday tasks, and I found it to be unbelievable. It's awesome. And then the last one, I touched on this a little bit earlier when I was talking about the airplane flights, you can actually link a payment method to Muse. Now, for some people, this could be considered a con because you got to weigh out your options. How much do you trust an AI agent to have access to one of your credit cards? Can it help improve your

9:42life as long as everything goes well? Yes, it'd be very nice to be like, "Hey, I'm looking for this flight. Can you book the cheapest one? I I need to get out the door tomorrow." And then it'll come back and be like, "I found this one. Is this good?" And you hit approve and then it'll do the whole booking process for you. So, there still is some intervention there where it's going to have to confirm certain things. But that is one thing and it could be, like I said, either a pro or a con depending on how you look at it. So far right now, we

10:09haven't heard of any stories where Muse has gone crazy and spent a bunch of money without any approvals or anything like that. So, I think it's safe, but that is up to you to decide. And then moving on to Meta Muse cons. So, same thing as using Grok bot, you have to decide who you want to give your data to. That's just plain and simple. If you're running any kind of cloud AI, you are [music] in every situation the product. It doesn't matter if it's ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, Grok, you are giving out a little bit of your information. Now, to be fair, with Muse you can go into the

10:48settings and you can say I opt out of sending data to Meta. That is something that I don't think you can do with Grok bot. So, that is one thing. Take it with a grain of salt. It might be a little more private in that sense, but you got to essentially weigh who you want to give your data to. That's plain and simple all there is to it unless you're running local AI on your own system. And another con of Muse, and some actually might find this to be a pro, is you cannot create multiple bots. So, it is one agent that literally covers everything. You can set up different

11:21threads in Muse, but you cannot actually have a bot for this with its own identity or a bot for this that is mainly coding tasks and you can give it its own identity file and tell it you want to do this, this, and this, and keep track of these tasks. Muse is just one agent that handles everything. And that could be actually, like I said, a pro for people that just want to keep things simple. Another con with Muse is if you're into coding workflows, this is not really the right agent. It can code, like it'll make those artifacts and things in the dashboard, but it's not

12:00built for actually like coding. Like it doesn't have a platform attached to it like [music] Grokbot with Cursor, where it can actually literally go through and do full coding tasks and then come back and give you the completed [music] code. Muse is just not built that way. And then another con right now, it is a US rollout only. So, you do have to have a Meta account. And then the final con is

12:25voice. Right now, there is no voice. Like I was saying earlier, you get just everything back in a text format. You can dictate your voice, but it sounds like it is hopefully coming soon. All right. So, right now I have mine set as this Zoomy here, but I'll just show you guys a quick trick. So, I actually just generated this from ChatGPT. I'm going to add this photo here, and I'm going to tell it I'm going to say, "Can you give me the

12:52prompt to create this image?" All right. So, I'm going to take that prompt, and then I'm going to go up here. I'm going to say I want to change the avatar. So, it says, "Change your avatar to" and then I'm going to paste that prompt that just gave me, and then let it run. So, essentially what we've done, we have taken an image from ChatGPT and then reverse-engineered the prompt to give us the avatar for Meta Muse. This is what I've so far found to be the best way if you want a

13:21very specific avatar. Let's see how well it can do here. It'll probably get pretty close, but that is actually a pretty advanced photo, so we'll have to see how close it actually gets. But, from my current testing, at least with this one, it got it almost down to like like yeah, look at this. Look how good that looks. I literally just reverse prompted that image, which was this, to this. And now, from here, we can actually select which one we want. This

13:55one looks pretty good. Let's try this. Let's say select. And now, it is going to change my avatar to be this like cybernetic chick. And as you can see here, it is now generating the video. So, there's like I said, one of the cooler things I liked about Meta Muse when I was just kind of messing around is being able to change that avatar or your persona is really cool. And look what it did. It already got the video going here. You can see she's kind of moving her head back and forth, and that avatar is now set in place. It's even got like a typing animation here, as you

14:31can see. It says it's working, so everything worked exactly as I wanted to. And I just did that fully live. I honestly was not expecting it to be that good, especially with that crazy of an image that I just generated from Chat GPT. So, pretty cool. So, that's the customization side of Meta Muse. Now, let's go over to Grok Bot. [music] Grok Bot, you can also change the image and everything, but you can't do like animated videos. And I actually really like these little Grok Bots here, like where you can change the different colors of them. But, just give you a quick preview of how this works. You can

15:05essentially go to this plus icon and just say create your new bot. And in this case, you're just creating a brand new bot, and you can go over and change exactly what you want this persona to be. So, I can click on this here, and then I can come over here, and I can tell it what I want it to do. So, just as an example, and I already have a personal shopper, it's Penny Procurement, but we'll just say you are the personal shopper bot. You help me shop for all things online, and then pretty much done. Coming back here, and the cool thing with Grok Bot,

15:43it is kind of proactive. Once you create that bot, it's going to ask you like, "Hey, what do you want me to do?" And [music] it should Let's see. Looks like it is not coming up. A lot of times when you give it its own name and its own description, it'll actually come back and be like, "Oh, you want me to be the personal shopper." In this case, it is still stuck on this prompt. So, that's

16:05another thing I found too with Grok Bot. It does seem to be a little more buggy here and there, where I have to like kind of kick it into gear and be like, "You are the shopper bot." And then, it'll come back, and then it'll probably give me some more information or more questions of what it actually wants me to do. So, here it goes. What should I look for? Specific product, PC/GPU gear, everyday stuff, a deal hunt. So, there you go. This is pretty much the long and the short of actually like customizing a Grok Bot. So, like I said, with Grok Bots, you set

16:41your own bots to do specific tasks. So, this is just an example. I'm actually probably going to delete this one cuz I already have one that's very similar, but you just essentially say, "Okay, I want you doing this task. I want you doing this task. I want you doing this task." For example, I have my chief of staff who manages all of the bots. I have different teams here. I have a content team. I have a dev team. I have a research team, and I have an infrastructure team. But anyway, you can set it up. So, the one cool advantage and one big advantage with Grok Bot is a

17:11lot better for actually like running a business, where it's like with like Meta Muse, I think it's better for like something that is just like a personal agent for just everything that I want to do in my everyday life. So, next up, let's check out the connectors between the two. So, both are pretty similar, whereas you can connect different services such as your Gmail, your Google Calendar. The difference here is, obviously, with Grok Bot, you can connect your X account. And then with Meta, you can connect Meta services such as Instagram, Facebook, Threads, so on and so forth. So, it kind of depends

17:51on which ecosystem you're in more so. You can still have Meta Muse log in using computer use. Same thing goes for Grok Bot. You can have it log in to Instagram using its computer. But, another thing that I found to be very interesting with Meta Muse is you can also connect it to your wallet, which, again, I did reluctantly here. Uh I was a little uh wary of doing this, but I

18:17did do it. I connected my credit card. And I actually had it go through, log into that computer, and order something for me on Amazon, which was very uncomfortable for me, but it actually worked very well, and it actually worked. So, that is something else you can do. And moving over to Grok Bot for its connectors, it is actually way more extensive in terms of the different plugins and the different things that you can add to Grok Bot. It probably actually does have way more customizations, especially if you factor into the fact that you can add bots from other people. So, you can see here, this

18:53is one of the most popular bots. It's the Doctor Egg Bot. Designs high-quality Grok Bot. So, it's essentially a Grok Bot that designs other Grok [music] Bots. Pretty cool, right? So, people have come up with some pretty cool different ideas for Grok Bots. And then, same thing here, you can connect your Gmail, your Google Calendar. You can connect your Google Drive, same as Meta Muse, but that is the one big pro when it comes to Grok Bot is the ability to actually go and search for other people's Grok Bots and add them to your

19:25own team. And next up, let's talk about the voice dictation and the voice options for both. Right now, that is where Muse is lacking, but they are working on something to create a better voice assistant. So, right here, it does have pretty good voice dictation. I could be like, "Hey, can you check on my latest emails in my inbox and see if there's anything alarming that we need to check

19:49out." And I can send that and see it did a really good job of actually dictating my voice there. And then I could go over to Grok Bot, I could do the same thing. Let's just go to MoneyPenny. She is my executive assistant, obviously play on words there. That's another cool thing about Grok Bot is you can kind of have

20:07fun with all the different bot names. So, let's just ask it like pretty much the same thing. "Hey MoneyPenny, can you check my personal email and just see if there's anything that I need to be alerted about or anything that I need to take care of in my personal email." Pulling up your personal inbox now. So, you can see here she has her own

20:30personal voice. This is pretty nice. Same story on the personal side. [music] No separate personal Gmail is connected. So, I only see jlane@tech. The one thing worth your eyes, that Google security alert from Monday saying Muse got account access. Was that you? Beyond that, Zima board Leah is still waiting on a reply. [music] And a new Obsidian partnership email came in today. Everything else is just

20:54sponsor [music] cold outreach. So, you can see there, I actually forgot I didn't have my personal email set up, but it does have my business email set up. So, it was actually looking through my business emails and giving me an So, I can have a back-and-forth conversation with [music] Grokbot, which is really nice, especially like I said, like if I'm on like a walk and I want it to do something. I'm like, "Hey, can you look into this, this, and this?" And be like,

21:17"Oh, sure. Let me just look into that." And you can actually customize the different voices. You can change the speed. You can change the different voices. There's a bunch of different voices in here, and then you can actually go through and change each Grokbot to have its own custom personal voice. I think that's all for now. Thank

21:36you so much for the demonstration. Anytime, James. Glad [music] it helped. Talk soon. So, there you go. All right. Let's go back to Meta Muse here. So, it came back and same thing, just not in a voice format. It just told me about some things in my personal email that I need to look into. Looks like none of this is anything that's alarming. So, [music]

21:59pretty awesome. Next up, let's compare the difference between essentially like the different ways that Meta Muse codes versus Grokbot can code. So, in this case, I'm just going to do something pretty simple here. Let's just have it build an artifact. And before I have it do that, let's check out what the artifacts actually are. So, if I go to this library button here, you can see that I have a bunch of different artifacts in here. I have a Tetris game. It made a PowerPoint presentation. It's just kind of a test for this video, which I didn't

22:32even end up using. Um a mission control. The mission control I just had it build, and it's kind of funny. I didn't know what it's actually going to build. It built a cloud computer telemetry system for the actual Muse cloud computer. So, it gives me all this information, the workspace inventory, like how much RAM is being used, the disk, how much CPU usage. There's not like anything pretty crazy or anything, but this is like essentially like a live dashboard for the whole computer system, which is pretty cool. [music] And then, here's an example of like a health dashboard that I have it build. So, as of today, I've

23:12only done like 2,500 steps. That's not good. I normally try to get up to like 10,000 steps. And I haven't had it running for too long. I just set this up a few days ago, so you can see here, it actually looks like it just updated. So, it's showing some of the different graph data. And right now, it looks like it's just steps, but you can go in and say,

23:32"Hey, I want you to add my sleep data." Or, "I want you to add this." And it'll be like, "Okay, I need this app connection." So, these are some of the different coding tasks that Muse can do. And let's just do it like a live test here. I already did this earlier, but let's just have it do it again. All right, so I just said, "Can you build a Tetris game as an artifact? You made one earlier, but I want this one to have amazing graphics and animations and everything, all the works." So, let's just see what it ends up doing. Then,

24:01same thing, let's just do the same test. And I'm going to do this the way that you should do this in Grok Bot. I guess depends on how you want to use your usage, but I like to just have my chief of staff go and manage everyone in the whole company here. So, that's kind of how I'm running Grok Bot as like my company right now. All right, so similar prompt here. I said, "Can you have the

24:21dev team build a Tetris game in Cursor? I want this one to have amazing graphics and animations and everything." Same type prompt. But, right now, Barry Boss is going to go through. He is working. He is going to probably message either Gary Game Dev or Calvin Code, who is our CTO. Let's see what he ends up doing here. All right, so he kicked it directly over to Gary, who Gary is the

24:46game dev. Let's go over to Gary here. And it looks like Gary just got the message, and now Gary is working. He is working on that amazing Tetris game. So, let's see what happens with both of these. I'm assuming that the Grok Bot is going to win at this, especially since it has full cursor code access, and I will show you guys what that looks like as well once it actually initiates a

25:12cursor agent. [music] Meanwhile, we can check on the progress of our Meta Muse. So, it says it's building it now, and you can always tell when your avatar or when your Meta Muse is working because you can see here in the top right corner she's like kind of working on a computer, the animatronic robot lady that we just said earlier as our avatar. And once it's completed, it'll show up as an artifact. So, you can see right here it is actually building. It's kind of got like a little progress dial here, and it should be

25:43actually probably done pretty soon. Let's go back over to Grok Bot and see what Gary is doing. All right, so this is one thing that I have noticed that I've actually been noticing more recently with Grok Bot is like for example here, it didn't give me a cursor link. Typically, it gives me a cursor link. Of course, in this live demo it did not. So, I had to actually tell it, "Hey, where is the cursor link?" And it was like, "Ah, here you go, and here's the repo." cuz it's connected to my GitHub as well. That's another advantage of Grok Bot is you can connect it to

26:14your GitHub account. There are ways to do that also with Meta, but it's just not as straightforward. [music] So, I click on this link here. You can see here it's going through the thinking process. We are now logged into cursor.com in the full coding harness through the web. All right, let's move back over to Meta, and it looks like Meta is complete with the new Tetris game, which we can find over here in our artifacts. I actually have two of them, so we can test them out both, but this is the one that just built here. It's this one here. This one actually does look way

26:46better than the other one that I had it build earlier, and it looks like yeah, it's got actually keyboard controls. And when I was on my mobile phone, it actually gave me controls on the mobile phone to like move the blocks back and forth. So, you can actually make games in Meta Muse, which is pretty cool. This is I mean, this is actually really nice because I don't think there are actually very many Tetris games out there ever since the rights got like bought out by someone. So, this is actually really nice that you can just like build whatever game you want. Be like, "Hey, I want Brick Breaker. Hey, I want

27:19Tetris." Let's see if the hold button works. Okay, yeah, hold works. Let's see if we can get a line here. Boom! Oh, it's got nice animations like we asked for. Much better than the last one that I had it generate. So, this is actually pretty admirable for [snorts] not being like fully like [music] a coding agent. You can still get away with a lot of cool coding projects by just using those artifacts. And if we go back over to Cursor, you can see here you can see all the lines of code. And this is the advantage, like I was saying, of using Grok Bot, is you can

27:53see all of the code in Cursor. It is going through. It is hopefully making a really cool game here. I I I would assume. It's uh working pretty hard on it. It's definitely taking a lot longer than Meta Muse. So, we'll see what it actually ends up generating for us. All right. And quick update here. It is looking like Grok is really taking this task seriously. It has been running for a long time for a Tetris game. I hope we get like one of the best Tetris games out there. But you can see that it is actually play testing this game. So, even just giving it the

28:29exact same prompt, Cursor is literally going through and using its own computer use to make sure that this is the best game possible. So, we'll see what it actually ends up producing for us. Okay, so wow, that was crazy. That took like 20 minutes and it's still I had to actually message it and I'd be like, "Okay, please ship it. This doesn't have

28:53to be perfect. It's just a Tetris game." But it was in cursor just like making this it's like life mission to make this as perfect as possible. And yeah, I finally had to just shut it down, but I guess that's kind of a con I guess with having it hooked into cursor is it might overthink some tasks here. So, let's actually see how good this is. All right, so I had to go back to Grok Bot and then I had to have it hosted and control my computer. This was way more

29:21complicated than anything I expected. So, this better be like the best Tetris game ever. And okay, it didn't even uh didn't even work. Let's see. Start run enter. That's a big yikes. Uh I am going to actually surprisingly give the win to Muse here. I mean, I know it was trying really hard, but I was really just expecting it to give me like a quick HTML Tetris file and I can't even start it. So, uh that's a kind of a big L on Grok 4.7

29:59and also on Grok Bot in general. Essentially, it just overthought the whole process and I can't even get a actual playable game. So, uh very surprising results here. I'm doing this kind of live, but I'm going to give Muse actually the win on this one for the coding test, which I did not expect, especially considering Grok Bot has Cursor built into its own ecosystem. So,

30:26pretty crazy. Now, I want to come back and say to be fair, I have had it done some coding tests in Cursor. Like I even had it build a mobile game. Check out my last video where it essentially controlled my computer and actually used some apps on my computer to make a mobile game. So, it can do some good coding tasks, but this one was just a straight-up epic fail. I think [music] this might have just been a one-off. Keep that in mind for when you're comparing these two. It could overthink when you're using some

30:56of these coding tools with Grok Bot. Next up, let's show the difference between computer use. So, this one's pretty cool. They both have their own computer, but they kind of work a little differently. So, let's just give them both the same task here. So, I'm going to have it do the exact same task. I am

31:15having it look for new gym shoes for me. So, I'm giving it the exact same prompt here. I'm going to specifically tell it to use the built-in computer because one thing I noticed with Grok Bot is it doesn't always actually use the computer. A lot of times it'll just actually just search the web like how a normal AI would like Chat GPT. So, let's give it the exact same prompt and then we'll compare how the whole computer use thing works. So, let me go back over to Muse here and give it the same prompt. Now, I can also show you one thing you can do in

31:49Muse is you can make a new chat here. So, in this case, I've made a personal shopper chat in this one here. That's kind of the only way you can separate out some of your tasks is just starting a new chat. It's still the same assistant, but they're just doing different chats in different conversation windows. [music] See what it comes back with. So, let's go back over to Grok and just see what it's doing. So, let's pull up the side computer here and take a look. Let me just do a full open on it and let's just see what it's doing. You can see it's got a bunch of different websites open

32:25here and it is trying to find the exact shoe style that I am looking for right now. I'm looking for these On Cloud 5 running shoes. It doesn't look like it's doing a whole lot here. Let's go back over to Muse and see what it is up to. So, in Muse, it already popped up immediately and you can actually click this button here to open the browser and this is the same type thing. It has its own access to its own computer and it is fully in the cloud. Now, the difference between [music] Grok Bot and Muse is Muse, you can actually install apps onto that computer just by telling your agent

33:05what you want to install. So, we'll do a real quick test on that, too. I actually haven't tried to install anything to the computer before. So, we'll see how well that works, but that's a pretty new update. You can also browse all of the files from your computer. So, if I go over to my artifacts here and then I go down to this right here, system files, I can actually go through and look through all of the files on that computer. So, that's another difference between Muse and Grok. So, we already saw what was going on. Let's go back over to Grok Bot and it's still, you know, even though I

33:38told it to use personal computer, it still doesn't look like it's using it. This is like the last page it was on. I don't think it ever actually went to a different page cuz I've already had it done this before. So, I'm just sending to another follow-up and that's another thing I keep noticing with Grok Bot. I keep having to really pester it like, "Are you doing what I'm telling you to

33:57do?" And [music] it doesn't seem like it's a listening a lot of times, whereas Muse will do exactly what you tell it to do. Are you using your computer? So, it is saying, "Yes, my computer's on right now." But, it hasn't actually moved from this page or looked at any other different results. So, I'm not

34:17even really sure it actually is working. And it says, "I'm checking whether the 10.5 is actually in stock." I think it's pretty obvious that only the 11.5 are in stock here, Grok Bot. Come on, let's get going. All right, let's go back over it and see what Muse is doing. [music] And for some reason, I actually expect Muse to be doing a little better at this task. You can already see that Muse is going all over the place. Muse is checking all kinds of different sites right now. It is jumping to Zappos. It is doing a full web crawl to find me. It

34:53looks like the Cloud sticks. Cuz I am in desperate need of new chip shoes. The ones I have are probably like 13 years old and it it's time has come. Their time has come. [music] So, yeah, as you can see here, Muse is definitely going and trying to find these shoes. It's going to Nordstrom's right now. It is doing a very very proactive search. Let's see if Grok Bot has gone to any different pages. Okay, it does look like it went to finally a different page here. Now it's on Amazon. So, Grok Bot just a little slower, but just not what I've seen to

35:30be as proactive with the computer use. And with both of them you can actually go in and actually control this. So, I could go click on some of these links here or I could go to these tabs here. Same thing on this computer. I could do the same thing. I could actually like interrupt it, start like a new tab. Uh let's see. Oh, I'm actually not like logged in the computer here. Oh, right here at the top it says take control of the browser. So, with Muse you actually have to click this button in order [music] to do so. We probably don't want to interrupt its task. So, let's just

36:02let it run for a little bit and see which one comes back with better results. All right, it looks like Meta, as I predicted, was the one to finish first. [music] So, let's see what it came back with here. Search is underway from the catalog. It looks like it found some discounted ones that were 135. And it It like here's some different options. So, 160 Oh, there's the $135 ones that are probably a weird color that no one wants to buy. Also, this one

36:36as well on Dick's Sporting Goods.com. [music] Let's go back to GrokBot and see if it ever figured it out. GrokBot is still trying to search. However, it might have found some cheaper options [music] on different websites. Muse might have found the results faster and give me some options to buy it quicker. But, it looks like GrokBot might be able to find us some better deals. Let's see what happens here. All right, and GrokBot finally finished. It did take longer, but it also looks like it found some cheaper options here. You got to be careful. Looks like it got me to a few sites that may not have the reputation

37:17and then the same price from different sites like Fit to Run for about the same price as like Dick's Sporting Goods, which is what Muse found. So, on this test, I'm going to give it a tie. I think they both did a pretty good job, and that is how you can use the computer use as well. Oh, and like I said real

37:35quick, let's go ahead and run that test. So, I already gamed this out with Muse earlier. I said like, "How can we install a program? Can you show it to me live?" So, I kind of want to see what happens here. Let's have it actually try to run the demo that I was wanting to show you guys and then have it actually

37:52install that program on the computer. All right. So, as you can see here, it is asking me if it can install FastFetch on the cloud computer. So, I'm going to say, "Yes, allow." Okay. So, that took quite a long time, but it did work. It did allow me to actually install the program onto the computer, and here is the output that confirms that it did install that program. It shows me essentially all the information of the cloud computer and the full output or this cow say. It says, "Hello from Zumi's computer." So, it is essentially was trying to show me a demo and it was like, "How about these

38:35two things to show you guys as like a way to visually show your audience?" Now, I was hoping I could actually see the computer do it live, but you [music] cannot actually see the computer install the programs, but you can tell it to install certain programs on your cloud Linux computer. And then finally, the last thing I want to go through, this is also something that Grok Bot does not have built into its system is it has its own custom feed that it builds for you, which is really cool. It It figures out essentially like your calendar, some of your interests, and it builds like a

39:08full custom feed. And essentially, all of my interests here, which is actually pretty cool. So, it's kind of giving me just like a custom feed with my calendar events, with some of the things that I should look out for, uh different things for my other channel. It's a pretty cool. And then another thing you can do

39:25here, you can go to ideas. [music] Ideas will give you additional ideas to use with Meta Muse. So, you could say like, "Book a doctor appointment, uh follow up on my Cloud 6 shoes." It knows that I like the Broncos. So, uh kind of build your week three game plan for Broncos Rams. So, [laughter] okay. I don't know even what that would even do. Uh I can give you a health dashboard. We already did that. So,

39:52here's just a bunch of different ideas. And then goals, you can set your own goals here. Some of these it'll actually build for you on your own or you can do goals that are just manual that you tell it yourself. So, these are manual goals and then these are the ones that it built for me. So, Grok Bot versus Muse comparison video, that is what we're

40:12doing right now. Uh subscription audit loose ends, Muse competitor video, same thing. And then these are some of my goals down here. I want to start trying to put some of my videos on Bilibili as well as YouTube, and then figure out some different sponsors. And then it gives you some ideas of different goals you can create down here as well. [music] All right, so the verdict, which one fits you best? Grok Bot or Meta Muse? I think Grok Bot is way better for creators and business operators. And then Meta Muse is more for people that just want something that works out of the box, has a good amount of free

40:46usage, and is really good for personal use. Now, not to say you can't use Meta Muse with your business. You can absolutely use Meta Muse with your business and hook it into like things like your business email, but I just think that Grok Bot is a little more set up for that. Another thing is if you're into coding, Grok Bot is technically better with Cursor, even though we kind of had that fail in this video live

41:10today. And Meta Muse is better for like more simple apps and simple workflows and different dashboards and whatnot. That's how it handles coding tasks. So anyway, that'll do for this video. Let me know which one you guys prefer, Grok Bot or Meta Muse, down in the comments. I have a video planned for an all-purpose computer that runs everything AI. I also might do a video on Opus 5.5 because that is honestly an amazing model from the limited testing that I've done so far. So stay tuned for that. Subscribe to the channel if anything all AI interests you, and as always, have a

41:47wonderful day.
