Both are OpenAI agents that can write and ship code. But a dot and a Codex session are built on opposite assumptions about how long an agent should keep running.

Three always-on agents, three completely different answers to 'how does this thing know what it's allowed to do?' A close read of Dots, Grok Bot, and Muse's permission architectures.

Pro and Business Premium subscribers got dots on day one. Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare customers got an admin-enabled beta instead — and that gap is a sensible, if slower, rollout strategy.

Each OpenAI dot runs on its own dedicated cloud computer and browser, separate from your machine. Here's why that architecture choice matters more than the headline.

Muse lets users tell it to forget specific things it has learned. That's a simple-sounding feature that raises real questions about what memory in an agent actually is.

Muse is free for most of what people need, with paid tiers on top and transaction fees planned for later. That's a distribution strategy, not a pricing model — and the two aren't the same thing.

Meta's Muse doesn't just answer questions about a saved Instagram reel — it turns it into a grocery list, a dinner invite, or a booking. Here's what that actually requires.

Grok Bot watches what you do, saves it as a routine, and refines it from your corrections. It's a genuinely different training loop than prompting — here's how it works.

Grok Bot runs on its own usage quota, separate from your Grok or Cursor plan. Actual pricing for that quota isn't disclosed — here's what's known, and what every business should budget for anyway.

Grok Bot moved from individual beta to a business tier in weeks, but enterprise access is still waitlist-only. Here's what that split actually tells you about xAI's rollout.

Grok Bot launched on desktop and iOS, with Android reportedly still pending. Here's where the always-on agent actually runs today, and where the gaps are.

Grok Bot went from a niche beta to a business-facing product with a marketing rivalry inside two months. Here's what's still unresolved, and what would actually settle it.
