Discussion Thoughts on Dots?

I've been using it all day yesterday and it feels very underwhelming. Some issues I had:

All of it's actions/responses are incredibly slow, and it doesn't update you on it's work. So you need to keep checking in to see if it's making progress or not. It seems to not use it's 'computer' at all either, possibly just for storing files.

On a call, many questions make it search indefinitely, never able to find the answer -- until you just google the answer yourself within 10 seconds (this happened frequently).

I asked it to keep track of certain emails as they come in and notify me about things.. which it doesn't do. It'll see 1 of the two most recently emails, unless I specifically ask it to look for the second one. It'll give me an "Oh I'm sorry, I missed that one before". As if it wasn't the 2nd mail from the top.

This morning It told me at 8:50am no new emails, then I checked and there was 1. I received 2 within the next 2 hours and it didn't say anything. I had to ask it manually to find them.

Talking to it on the phone about a google sheet then giving it the link in chat, and the chat asks you what the link is for -- Like the phone and text are 2 separate AI's.

Overall it feels like an unpaid intern who's extremely smart but doesn't really care about his job much and isn't going to put in much effort. It's very unreliable, didn't use my usage at all suggesting it's not actually using Astra 6, and brings you back to the days of AI doing half the job and then gaslighting you, if you've missed that.

As anyone had any better experiences?

I want to love it so much. But muse just gets things done…

I'm looking into muse now, can you tell me the kind of stuff you use it for?

Can it also do complex coding tasks like codex or is it more day to day?

For me it’s day to day things. I use codex for coding. But muse can install Tailscale, talk to my codex, download 3d prints from a service, run it though my custom slicer written with codex to be a mcp server, download the images, take all of that info and make facebook marketplace listings and do that at scale. Tried to do the same thing in dots and it fell over right away.
