The piece traces the lineage of these agents back to Peter Steinberger's Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw project, notes Meta's Muse was reportedly inspired by OpenClaw, and argues the real competition is about which lab earns developer trust for recurring, unsupervised work rather than install numbers. It covers pricing tiers, security posture differences (Grok Bots share one cloud computer and logins; Claude Tag has its own service identity and audit trail), and Amazon's recent blocking of Muse in ecommerce. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Claude Cowork and how is it different from a scheduled task feature? Claude Cowork is an always-on agent feature that runs scheduled jobs after a user closes their laptop, without being asked. It has worked inside Claude since July and was folded into the main Claude app as part of a broader update, giving Pro and Max subscribers access first, with Team and Free plans coming later. _Developers weighing which AI agent to trust with background work can track these rollouts on daily.dev._ ### How does Claude Tag's security model compare to Grok Bot's? Claude Tag joins a Slack workspace with its own service identity and channel-scoped access, while Grok Bots share one cloud computer and one set of logins across the whole roster of bots. xAI's own documentation warns users not to treat Grok Bots as a security boundary, making credential scope a key factor before handing an agent your logins. _Teams evaluating agent credential risk can follow comparisons like this one on daily.dev._ ### How many downloads has Meta's Muse AI agent app gotten compared to ChatGPT's early mobile launch? Apptopia estimated 359,000 daily U.S. users for Muse in its first 12 days, versus 231,000 for ChatGPT's iOS app at the same point in its own launch. Sensor Tower separately estimated more than 3.4 million Muse downloads as of September 24, though download counts vary by tracking firm. _Anyone sizing up competing AI agent platforms can follow adoption data like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Meta admits Muse’s likeness to OpenClaw isn’t a coincidence](https://daily.dev/posts/meta-admits-muse-s-likeness-to-openclaw-isn-t-a-coincidence-krbqjeh57) · TechCrunch · 2 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#openclaw](https://daily.dev/tags/openclaw) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-s-answer-to-dots-and-muse-is-already-inside-claude-i05o6a1ds) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Anthropic’s answer to Dots and Muse is already inside Claude","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-s-answer-to-dots-and-muse-is-already-inside-claude-i05o6a1ds","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-s-answer-to-dots-and-muse-is-already-inside-claude-i05o6a1ds"},"datePublished":"2026-10-03T10:12:19.118Z","dateModified":"2026-10-09T06:04:14.763Z","description":"A roundup contrasts Anthropic's quiet merge of Cowork into the main Claude app with the splashier always-on agent launches from rivals: OpenAI's Dots at...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/3990101fc320ed16e9268e78d412958e?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/3990101fc320ed16e9268e78d412958e?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The New Stack","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The New Stack","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/newstack","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-s-answer-to-dots-and-muse-is-already-inside-claude-i05o6a1ds","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,claude,anthropic,openclaw","timeRequired":"PT7M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The New Stack","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Anthropic’s answer to Dots and Muse is already inside Claude"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-s-answer-to-dots-and-muse-is-already-inside-claude-i05o6a1ds#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Claude Cowork and how is it different from a scheduled task feature?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Claude Cowork is an always-on agent feature that runs scheduled jobs after a user closes their laptop, without being asked.
