Key Points:
- The author tested three AI agents—Meta's Muse, Instinct, and OpenAI's Dot—on three tasks: managing email, ordering lunch, and building a personal website, with varied results for each.
- For email triage, Dot was the most effective, notably identifying an important unresolved tax email, while Muse was consistently helpful and Instinct found a missed party invite but was less favored due to its text message interface.
- Ordering lunch proved cumbersome across all agents, with none outperforming manual ordering; issues included payment confusion with Muse, lengthy text exchanges with Instinct, and login difficulties with Dot.
- When building a website, Dot produced the best design mockups, though all agents generated generic and awkward copy, requiring significant user editing and questioning the time saved.
- Ultimately, the author recommends Muse for general users due to its free access and ease of use, while highlighting that AI agents currently excel more in specific tasks like email triage rather than complex or personalized activities.
