Muse vs Grok Bot

Start with the shape of the job: a personal goal or a repeatable team role.

Muse fits conversational personal delegation and Meta-connected small-business work. Grok Bot is especially relevant for named coworkers, demonstrated routines and shared Team Bots. Consider AI Agent Teams when you also want runtime choice and a dedicated view of agent operations.

Start with your job

Who is each platform best for?

Muse

A personal agent for life and small business

Meta’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 Bots

Persistent 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.

A decision you can act on

How to choose between Muse and Grok Bot

A personal goal and a shared role need different context

A goal such as planning a move may benefit from an assistant that understands personal preferences and follows up over time. A shared support role needs instructions that remain consistent across the people using it.

Before choosing, separate private notes, team knowledge and approved business policies. Ask both products to prepare a response to the same request, then change an instruction and check whether the next answer follows it.

The latest releases change the shortlist

Muse’s small-business offering broadens the case beyond personal errands. The current page describes business connectors and lists US and Canada availability for adults. Meta’s glasses plans are a separate rollout; do not assume an announced device feature is already available.

Grok Bot’s September 28 Team Bots announcement makes shared team knowledge a current comparison topic. Evaluate the shared Bot’s setup and the private conversation boundary, rather than using an older description based only on personal Bots.

Test a recurring job across the real accounts

Use a small weekly brief with two connected sources, a written deliverable and an approval step. Ask for a clear explanation when a source is unavailable. A useful system should distinguish an empty result from an incomplete check.

Review routine history and output quality after several runs. Include the correction time in your evaluation. A polished first response does not tell you whether the workflow will stay useful after a source changes or authentication expires.

When AI Agent Teams belongs in the comparison

If the goal grows into an operation with multiple specialist roles, compare Agent Teams as well. Supported runtime and model access options, shared files, tasks and activity dashboards give you more direct choices about how that operation runs.

You can begin with one hosted agent and add roles after the pilot works. External reporting can include an existing agent without treating all its work as automatically hosted or controlled. This is useful when migration would otherwise delay a practical trial.

Prices, limits and eligibility can change between reviews. Compare the same workflow, including setup time, human corrections, connected service subscriptions and extra usage. No unsupported “cheapest” claim or estimated competitor price is used here.

Make the comparison real

Run a small, useful pilot

Example: prepare a weekly competitor brief from two approved sources, identify what changed, and leave a draft for review. This is a suggested test, not a customer case study.

Write one brief. Specify the sources, deadline, time zone, output format and decisions that need you.
Connect only what the job needs. Check the actual read/write access and test an unavailable source.
Inspect the handoff. Can you find the source, task status, missing information and next owner?
Measure the whole run. Record useful output, corrections, interruptions and actual usage before adding more work.

For Agent Teams, keep the agent running for its native schedule, review the spending controls, and save a tested setup before expanding the team. Explore costs and controls →

Sources and review method

Last completed source check: 30 September 2026. We review primary documentation, release announcements and the current Agent Teams guide weekly. Product claims are documentation-based; the decision guidance is our interpretation. Unverified access or prices remain explicitly uncertain.

“Muse” means Meta’s personal agent, “Grok Bot” means the persistent Bot product, and “OpenAI dot” means dots in ChatGPT. Model releases alone do not establish a product’s enabled features. Scheduled review does not replace checking current provider details before purchase.
