Who is each platform best for?
Meta
Muse
A personal agent for life and small businessMeta’s goal-oriented personal agent, with a cloud computer, WhatsApp access and a growing small-business connector collection.
Consider it when: People who want to delegate everyday work through a familiar conversation, especially when Meta business accounts are central to their workflow.
Plan for: Check country and account availability, and test the exact connectors you need. Announced device features can arrive on a different schedule from the app.

Grok Bot
Named AI coworkers and shared Team BotsPersistent Bots that coordinate work, plus Team Bots that share role knowledge with human teammates through the app and Slack.
Consider it when: Cursor users and teams that want to teach workflows to Bots and put a shared AI coworker into existing collaboration tools.
Plan for: Check the plan allowance and on-demand spending settings. Personal Bots share an account computer, so shared files and logins require deliberate access choices.

How to choose between Muse and Grok Bot
The business owner and the whole team need different starting points
For an owner planning a campaign, Muse’s connection to Facebook, Instagram and Meta ads is immediately relevant. Its business offering also names Shopify, Slack, Stripe, Canva and other tools. The attraction is handing a goal to one assistant that can work across the connected business, rather than first defining a roster of roles.
For an internal helpdesk, Grok Team Bots is more directly aimed at shared expertise. An owner supplies the files, skills and plugins once; colleagues ask their own questions in the app or Slack. Everyone benefits from maintained team knowledge while individual conversations stay private. Choose this shape when the main job is a shared service people can ask for help.
Source 1Source 2A social campaign has two different kinds of work
A shop owner may want draft posts and advertising ideas from connected Meta accounts. Muse’s documented business connections fit that starting point. An agency may instead want separate research and content roles, saved browser sessions and a chosen network address for an ongoing account workflow. Those are different requirements even when both are called social-media automation.
For a startup running product and growth in parallel, Agent Teams offers a team you can shape role by role. Mix Hermes and OpenClaw at the same time, choose supported models and give each worker its own persistent environment. Start from a prompt or Starter Kit; use native tools and settings when you need to change or optimize the work.
Source 1Source 2Source 3Shared knowledge does not mean every schedule is shared
Grok Team Bots distinguishes shared team memory from private notes with each person. Sign-in plugins use the account of the teammate asking, while some configured keys are shared Bot access. Routines belong to their creator and run as that person. This matters when a weekly output should reach everyone: the routine needs an explicitly shared destination.
Muse follows ongoing goals and can work in the background, with an activity record and approval flow. For a single business owner, that may be enough. Agent Teams becomes useful when the recurring job passes between several configured agents and a human reviewer: the shared tasks, files and role messages give you a place to manage that handoff.
Source 1Source 2Source 3Source 4The practical starting cost depends on what you already have
Muse offers free access for many needs and lists US and Canada availability for adults. Grok Bot has an included weekly allowance with eligible paid Cursor or qualifying linked individual subscriptions, then optional on-demand usage. If you already pay for a qualifying plan, that allowance changes the starting budget; it is not unlimited execution.
Agent Teams gives a small startup room to tune the operation while keeping the start manageable. Describe a role, connect accounts and review its costs. Compatible outside agents can send activity into dashboards alongside hosted reports, helping you investigate bottlenecks without moving every worker. External agents keep their own controls. Hosting starts at $199 per month; model usage and optional services are separate.

Simple to start. Room to go deeper.
Describe a job or start from a Starter Kit. Connect the accounts it needs and launch. When a job needs more, open the native controls to adjust instructions, tools, skills, schedules, files or supported settings.
Reuse a working setup through a clean clone. Review its seed files and reconnect accounts; the original worker’s private history and sessions are not copied. You do not need to configure every option before starting.
SourceHermes and OpenClaw. On the same team.
Choose the agent software, often called a harness, that fits each role. Run Hermes and OpenClaw workers at the same time, with different supported models, tools and skills. You do not have to choose one setup for your whole startup.
A harness is the software that lets an AI plan, use tools and keep working. Each worker keeps its native interface and settings. Available integrations depend on its harness and version.
SourceHosted and external agents, one reporting view
Keep useful agents where they already run. Compatible external agents can send activity into dashboards alongside your hosted agents, helping you compare reported work and investigate bottlenecks across the operation.
External reporting requires a supported connection and useful activity records. It does not host, wake or remotely control the outside agent, or add its chat and desktop to Chat Wall.
SourceA stable IP for your social-media agent
Give an agent an optional static residential IP in an available country. Pair a consistent network address with its saved browser profile for ongoing work in your own social accounts.
Private static and fully dedicated static options are available, alongside rotating residential routing. A static address stays assigned until changed or released. Country inventory varies; routing does not guarantee that a social network will accept an account or session.

Frequently asked questions
Is Muse only a personal assistant?
No. Muse for Small Business connects Meta business accounts and named work apps. Its current business page lists US and Canada availability for adults.
Can everyone talk to the same Grok Bot?
Team Bots supports maintained shared expertise with private individual chats in the app and supported Slack interaction. Routines remain personal to their creator.
When is Agent Teams the better fit?
For a startup running product and growth in parallel, Agent Teams offers a team you can shape role by role. Mix Hermes and OpenClaw at the same time, choose supported models and give each worker its own persistent environment. Start from a prompt or Starter Kit; use native tools and settings when you need to change or optimize the work. Compatible external agents can share dashboard reports while continuing to run in their own apps.
Can I keep using Muse, Grok Bot, dot or Codex alongside Agent Teams?
Yes. Keep using the tools that work for you. Where your setup supports the reporting API or scoped MCP tools, connect it to send selected activity and results into the same dashboards as hosted workers. An active Agent Teams plan and reporting setup are required. External agents keep running in their own apps; the connection shares selected reports with your workspace.
Your next step
Build the team your ambition needs.
Start with one responsibility. Add workers and choose the tools each needs as you grow. Describe the job, connect your accounts and review the costs; deeper controls are there when you need them.
