I Tested OpenAI's Dots vs. Meta's Muse. What You Need to Know.
"I Tested OpenAI's Dots vs. Meta's Muse. What You Need to Know." is the biggest of twelve uploads Nate Herk put out over seven days. It is a plain comparison of two personal AI agents: features, memory, pricing, how each fits into Slack, WhatsApp and Codex, and the bugs he hit along the way. In its first four days it passed 320,000 views. Nate, who left Goldman Sachs to build an AI consultancy before turning to teaching, gives his verdict near the end, including who he would send to Muse.
The comments wander off the brief in a nice way. One of the most liked jokes that the world now has one more AI and is still hunting for things to do with it. Another viewer refuses to give up a Star Trek-themed team of Grok Bots. Others ask about the slides he uses, and a few argue that Meta's data habits will keep business users loyal to OpenAI or Anthropic.
The rest of the week stayed in the same toolbox. Sonnet 5.5 went up against Opus 5.5 across seven workflows. A $10,000 stock experiment had GPT-6 Astra trying to beat the S&P 500, with a Fed rate hike landing on day six. Dave Ebbelaar came on to talk about building software without a coding background. The newest uploads are moving quickest: a short tour of five Claude Code mods, one of which hides sensitive details while recording, and a non-coder's guide to eighteen Codex concepts.
Daily views ran below the channel's usual pace, but about 20,000 new subscribers still arrived. Among technology channels of similar size, only Android, with a very big week, and Low Level gained more views. Nate's 1.85 million came third.
