I Tried the 4 Hottest AI Agents: Grok Bot vs Muse vs Instinct vs Hermes
Eric Siu puts four autonomous AI agents through real business work: Meta Muse, Instinct, Grok Bot and Hermes. There is no single winner, but there is a clear daily driver. Here is the full breakdown, plus the scorecard.
Which autonomous AI agent is actually better? In "I Tried The 4 Hottest Agents Right Now", Eric Siu runs four of them through his real personal and business workflows: Meta's Muse, Instinct, Grok Bot and Hermes. No toy demos — content strategy, travel research, sales calls, recruiting and analytics, all done live.
The scorecard in one chart
Coverage is not even across the four: the video spends the most time on Muse's content workflows and Instinct's deep research, with Grok Bot's call automation and Hermes' analytics each getting a focused segment before the final verdict.
What the video digs into
- Meta Muse — the strategist. Connected to his Instagram, X and YouTube, it recut an underperforming Instagram reel with a stronger visual hook, then pulled live channel data to generate long-form video ideas complete with headlines and thumbnails. It even mined the Meta ad library to reverse-engineer competitors' offers. Eric's verdict: the best thought partner of the four, and one that compounds its learnings about you over time. His bot is named Dudu.
- Instinct — the doer. A browser-use agent for complex, unstructured, many-tab work. It researched cherry-blossom flights to Japan against his points balances, logged into his rewards accounts, and submitted speaking applications to conferences like Web Summit Vancouver, Shop Talk and HumanX. It is also running his recruiting and podcast outreach. Free right now, and currently in the lead for end-to-end task execution.
- Grok Bot — the operator. Bots that make real phone calls: it confirmed a couples massage booking at a spa over the phone. On the business side, a speed-to-lead bot calls new inbound leads within 60 seconds, qualifies them and logs everything into HubSpot. Recruiting bots run candidates through evals. Reliable, intuitive, and Eric's pick for a daily driver.
- Hermes — the open-source thinker. The most customizable of the four. As a strategic partner it dug through his Google Analytics and spotted a suspicious traffic spike from China that had quietly wrecked his August conversion numbers. Works on desktop, iMessage, Telegram and a dedicated app, with fast model switching. It has replaced OpenClaw in his stack.
The takeaway is pure trade-offs: Muse has data the others cannot touch, Instinct does what the others cannot do, Grok Bot is the most dependable routine-runner, and Hermes brings the most context. Combined, they are the leverage.
