Grok vs. Dot vs. Muse vs. Claude Duet: which one crushes the competition?

Show notes

I have personal-agent fatigue, so I ran the first How I AI personal-agent benchmark: Grok Bot, Dot, Muse, and Claude Duet across nine real tasks, from a Slack reply and a Sentry bug to a Figma thumbnail, inbox triage, a family newspaper, physics homework for a fourth grader, shoe shopping, and a ChatPRD launch video. I used computer use to operate them: Claude ran Dot, Codex ran the rest and scored the results live. Here’s the scoreboard—and which agent I’d actually trust for work vs. life. — Brought to you by: WorkOS —Make your app enterprise-ready, with SSO, SCIM, RBAC, and more Firecrawl —Give your AI agents web data and beyond — In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction (02:13) The personal-agent benchmark setup (05:00) The nine tasks and the prompts I used (07:20) Scoreboard overview (10:06) Task 1: Draft a Slack reply as me (11:39) Task 2: Cut a short-form video from raw Dropbox footage (14:56) Task 3: Fix a bug from Sentry (17:30) Task 4: Build a How I AI thumbnail in Figma (19:25) Task 5: Triage my inbox for to-dos (21:06) Task 6: Build a family newspaper (23:30) Task 7: Explain a physics homework question to a fourth grader (24:54) Task 8: Shop for shoes (26:46) Task 9: Make a ChatPRD Product Intelligence launch video (30:01) Final scores (32:38) My takeaways — Tools referenced: • Grok Bot: https://x.ai/bot • Dot: https://chatgpt.com/features/dots/ • Meta Muse: https://ai.meta.com/muse/ • Claude Duet: https://claude.com/product/claude-duet • Codex: https://openai.com/codex • ElevenLabs: https://elevenlabs.io/ • Figma: https://www.figma.com/ • Sentry: https://sentry.io/ • Linear: https://linear.app/ • Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/ — Where to find Claire Vo: ChatPRD: https://www.chatprd.ai/ Website: https://clairevo.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairevo/ X: https://x.com/clairevo — Production and marketing by https://penname.co/ .
