I had Grok bot solve some unknown subscription charges i had and it did a great job so i was excited to keep working with it. But after some time I just got extremely frustrated with the quality I was getting out of my bots. I kept having to correct my bots, the writing it gave me was slop, and the image gen is well below every other tool out there.\n\nAnd with Muse, it’s basically only good at accessing Instagram or facebook marketplace. The only thing i’m still using it for is monitoring marketplace for a wardrobe for my wife.\n\nI really had higher hopes for these agents. Meanwhile, going back to using Computer has been so refreshing. I find the memory and context to be much more reliable and the tool integrations seem to work better. Maybe it’s just the type of work I do, or the time i spent using Computer before, but I find it to be much more reliable with actual work than Grok bot or Muse.\n\nit’s a bit surprising considering how much praise I see from others about their Grok bot but I just don’t get it after using it. And i really tried. Anyone else,",
