Let's call it the Battle of the Bots, part 1: I decided to put two of the newest personal AI agents, OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse , through their paces, with the WNBA Finals providing a natural testing ground. Why it matters: AI companies are racing to create the digital assistant we turn to for everything from shopping to travel planning. But there's still a gap between what these agents can do and what I'm comfortable letting them do. They also need to pass what we'll call "The Human Benchmark" : that is, can they do something as fast, or as well, as a human? The answer is ... not quite yet, but the capabilities are still impressive. The big picture: For the test, I asked each assistant to plan a fantasy trip to Atlanta to see my beloved Golden State Valkyries, organize a purple-themed brunch watch party and create souvenir programs. I also had them help me shop for Valkyries merch, which eventually turned into a side quest for WNBA basketball cards. The cost: Muse is free for most
