Openclaw creator Peter Steinberg was in talks with Zuck at the beginning of the year before choosing to work for Openai.

I think Meta limiting factor for this product was lack of agentic capable models which they fixed now with aggressive RLHF focused data gathering.

They're not the first. Each lab has its own: grok bot, codex desktop, perplexity computer, Claude whatever

This is not even true. Gemini Spark has been there for a while.

Grokbot wa first and enterprise and consumer focused

They have been leading research on AI until ChatGPT was released.

They had the FAIR, and Yann Le Cun.

I mean, Google and x.AI already have stuff like this. There's plenty of other options as well. And even outside of that, I've heard the promise of "let AI book your reservations!" since before LLMs became a thing.

None of this seems new. Maybe polished, but useless to anyone who is seriously using AI for anything important. I imagine this is effectively a toy for boomers who want to feel like they're keeping up with the latest tech by tapping a few buttons in Facebook.

And none of that even touches that fact that nobody should be OK with Meta having this kind of access to their life. But I'll leave that to others to harp on lol

I don't understand the meaning of the last sentence of this comment

xAI/cursor was first with grokbot

Meta isn't known for having great customer support

"This account needs permission to view this page

there is no logout or instruction whatsoever on email, so zero tech support definitely not true

Instinct exists with the same features. It is quite good. I was thinking they were gonna get acquired by meta 100%, but looks like meta has a competitor.
