I tested 4 AI agents on 9 real tasks. Here’s who won.
Summary
A creator benchmarked 4 AI agents (Claude, Dot, Grokbot, Muse) across 9 real-world tasks using computer use operators, revealing that agent selection depends heavily on use case rather than one universal winner. The methodology—using agents to run other agents—offers a replicable framework for evaluating AI tools at scale.
Key Takeaways
- Baseline agent capabilities before benchmarking by using browser automation to verify all agents have access to the same integrations, email addresses, and skills—critical for fair comparison.
- Design lightweight, voice-specific prompts for agent testing rather than verbose instructions—focus on 'Keep it in my voice. Do exactly what I would do' for realistic evaluation.
- Use computer use agents to benchmark other agents in parallel—Claude ran Dot while Codex ran Claude Duet, Grokbot, and Muse, creating an efficient systematic testing structure.
- Test agents against cross-cutting real tasks (Slack replies, video editing, inbox triage, shopping) rather than isolated benchmarks—reveals which tools excel at actual workflows founders use.
- Different agents serve different purposes by design—consolidating all business tool connections to a single agent reduces capability gaps and reveals which agents truly underperform vs. underconfigured.

I told you all I have personal agent fatigue, but I am here for you. So, today I am going into the personal agent minds and I am running the very first how I AI personal agent benchmark, which goes across four agents and nine tasks to tell you what personal agent is actually the best. I am going to try to run this in the most unbiased equal way. I will tell you how I set up the benchmark, what is in the benchmark, how I ran the benchmark, and then we're going to look at the results, and at the very end get a summary of what agent I think does best on which task. This was a really fun and also hard one to run. I spent definitely several hours today figuring out how to run this and getting it done. I hope that you all find this helpful, and I am going to be along the ride with you because I …
