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.

OpenAI dot
Ongoing responsibility inside ChatGPTA persistent ChatGPT agent that follows responsibilities over time and can delegate work to ChatGPT Work or Codex.
Consider it when: ChatGPT users who want continuity across research, documents and software tasks without repeatedly rebuilding the context.
Plan for: Gradual rollout to specified Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise plans. Eligible Pro access excludes the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Local computer work needs that computer to stay available.

How to choose between Muse and OpenAI dot
For a shop campaign, Muse’s connected business accounts are the starting point
Suppose you run a shop and want next month’s content drafted around your products. Muse’s business offering specifically connects Facebook, Instagram and Meta ads, alongside services such as Shopify, Canva and Stripe. That makes the account connections relevant to the job from the beginning. The attraction is an assistant that already has access to the tools you chose to connect.
For an agency building the same kind of workflow repeatedly, Agent Teams offers a different route. Prepare separate research and content roles, share the approved brief, and clone a clean setup for the next project. Optional static residential routing and saved browser profiles give a social role its own configurable browser setup. This is the stronger fit when the workers themselves are part of what you want to operate.
Source 1Source 2Source 3For continuing research or code, dot fits the ChatGPT workflow
Suppose you are already collecting research, reviewing documents or preparing a code change in ChatGPT. Dot can carry the responsibility forward, send work to parallel background agents and delegate to Work or Codex. Its Activity view lets you open tasks and inspect their files, results and requests for input.
For founders who want to assemble their own operating team, Agent Teams keeps the worker choices open. Run Hermes and OpenClaw together, choose supported models per role, and connect workers through tasks, files and messages. Managed hosting and saved state reduce what you would need to arrange around standalone installations.
Source 1Source 2Source 3Cloud work and your own computer are separate choices
Both Muse and dot describe cloud execution. Dot also supports a connection to your own computer, which matters when the job needs local files or software. That local computer must remain available for its part of the work; choosing cloud work does not move every local resource into the cloud. A messaging channel is also separate from permission to use an app.
Agent Teams hosts the agent’s working environment, with saved files and a persistent browser. You can open the actual desktop to complete a login and hand control back. Agent backups and supported runtime rollback provide recovery options for saved work. Those controls are particularly useful for an owner maintaining recurring browser-based jobs rather than only receiving the final answer.
Source 1Source 2Source 3Availability can decide the shortlist before features do
Muse’s business page currently lists adults in the US and Canada. Dot is gradually rolling out to specified plans: eligible Pro tiers exclude the EEA, UK and Switzerland, while Business Premium and Enterprise have worldwide rollout paths. Enterprise administrators must enable it. Announced voice or device experiences and account access should be treated separately from the features you can use today.
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.

Start simply. Keep the freedom to go further.
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
Which is a better fit for a small business?
Muse is relevant for Meta-connected owner tasks; dot fits existing ChatGPT responsibilities. We recommend Agent Teams for separately configured business roles, supported model choice and a reusable shared operation.
Can I use Muse or dot in Europe?
Muse’s current business page lists the US and Canada. Dot’s eligible Pro rollout excludes the EEA, UK and Switzerland, while Business Premium and Enterprise are rolling out worldwide. Actual access still depends on the account and workspace.
Why consider Agent Teams as an alternative?
For founders who want to assemble their own operating team, Agent Teams keeps the worker choices open. Run Hermes and OpenClaw together, choose supported models per role, and connect workers through tasks, files and messages. Managed hosting and saved state reduce what you would need to arrange around standalone installations. 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.
