OpenAI Dots vs Meta Muse: two visions for personal AI agents

OpenAI unveiled Dots at DevDay on Sept. 29 — persistent agents on GPT-6 Astra with their own cloud computer and browser, connecting to 4,000+ apps via ChatGPT, Slack and Teams. Meta's Muse agent handles personal errands, purchases and travel through WhatsApp and its own app, with payments via Stripe Link. Both push users from prompting toward delegating ongoing tasks.

• Dots run on GPT-6 Astra and connect to 4,000+ applications
• Muse pays via Stripe Link using one-time card numbers
• Dots work in ChatGPT, Slack and Teams; Muse in WhatsApp
