It's (probably) safer by design as well

The launch of OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse has brought easy-to-use AI agents to a wider audience. These agents can perform various tasks, ranging from simple ones like restaurant reservations and inbox triage to more complex tasks. OpenAI offers specialist Dots for specific industries such as marketing, legal work, and accounting, while Meta's Muse is free to use.
The author switched from OpenClaw to OpenAI's Dots and found the setup process to be significantly faster, taking only minutes compared to hours. According to The Verge, the surge in AI agents has led to increased sales of devices like Mac Minis, and companies like Meta and OpenAI are pitching their agents to mainstream users and businesses with cute, animated mascots.
