Grok Bot vs OpenAI Dots

Verdict

Choose OpenAI Dots if you want ongoing work inside an eligible ChatGPT account; choose Grok Bot if reusable instructions and a shared persistent cloud computer fit the way you delegate. Both support browsing, document work and scheduled tasks, but neither offers a documented ongoing free plan for the main agent. Notis is another option when access from messaging apps and a coding agent matters more than staying inside those subscriptions.

Ranked by support score

Personal AI assistant

Notis is a personal AI assistant you message from WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Slack or email, and reach from your own coding agent through its MCP server.

Notis suits people who want an assistant in their messaging apps and inside their coding agent. It supports WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Slack and email, alongside browsing, scheduled work and persistent memory, reaching 80% across 33 vetted capabilities. That score describes the evidence in this table, not how reliably your task will run. The free plan is limited to CLI and MCP access; messaging channels need a paid plan.

OpenAI Dots suits eligible ChatGPT subscribers who want ongoing work handled alongside their existing conversations. It can browse, edit documents, retain memories and run scheduled tasks, with optional permission to work on your own computer. Its 84% score covers 16 vetted capabilities, so treat it as a view of the evidence we have rather than a broad performance lead. The catch is paid eligibility and regional restrictions at launch; mobile access is still rolling out.

Its 79% score covers 17 vetted capabilities and describes available evidence, not execution quality. Access depends on an eligible subscription or trial credit, and the vendor manages model selection rather than giving you a picker.
