   I don't understand Muse, couldn't agents already do all this? I have ChatGPT for example and I can have it book tickets and other things for me, it even pulls up a cloud browser if it can't access APIs. It can check for details from my email and use those for the ticket. Now OpenAI has Dots too which is a 24/7 version of the same thing.

      UI/UX

      Many times, UI/UX makes all the difference in user adoption & use.

         But ChatGPT already has the same UI UX.

            It does not at all. ChatGPT is trying to be an everything app and it’s extremely convoluted by this point and hard for most people to make sense of, especially if you’re not in tech.

               That's strange because they still have a billion users. So they're all using it somehow even without being in tech. The core UX is still a chatbot.

            It isn’t though.

            Muse is:

            - a single thread

            - has avatars that you can name

            - has approval cards

            Now dots is similar in concept but that only launched a few days ago and Muse launched a month ago.

            OpenAI does now with Dots but it’s still desktop only so they flubbed the ease of use that has made Muse and Grok such growth engines.

            1. young_mete · 1791071359 · focus · HN ↗

               It’s also not free.

               Not true, I use OpenAI's Dot on my phone all the time. It might need to be set up first on Desktop or web?
