Every big AI company now has an agent that keeps working after you close the app. The difference comes down to: • Where it lives • What it connects to • Who it's built for 🤖 Grok Bot • AI teammates on a cloud computer • Ops, sales, research, coding • Mac, Windows, Linux, phone • In X, Cursor, SuperGrok plans 🤝 Claude Duet • Proactive work agent • 6,000+ connectors • Asks before it acts • US only, waitlist for now ✨ Muse (Meta) • Personal life agent • Errands, shopping, goals • Works in WhatsApp • Free, or $20 to $100/mo 🔵 ChatGPT Dots • Always-on agents in ChatGPT • 4,000+ apps, Slack, Teams • Needs Pro or Business Premium My takeaway: there's no single "best" one.

It’s finally here… Get on the waitlist: https://claude.com/product/claude-duet Always on agent from Claude. This is their version of always on agents like Grok Bots, ChatGPT Dots and Meta’s Muse. I have been obsessing over Dots and Muse for the past few weeks. Let me know if you are interested:

Out of more than 450,000 global members, it is a privilege to have been selected to speak about the AI OS I built—one that now runs several aspects of my own consulting agency—at the AIS Live Virtual Event this weekend (detail and link below). Join The Event Online Oct 17, 8:00AM - Oct 18, 8:00PM CDT Just 18 months ago, I began pursuing AI full time with my new agency, AI & Data Strategies. Armed with sheer curiosity and determination, I started building my AI skills and dove in headfirst to learn how to build advanced AI and automation solutions through AI Automation Society on Skool. Fast-forward to today: I have been able to combine more than 30 years of enterprise experience with AI technology. Through AI & Data Strategies, we are helping dozens of medium and large companies transform their businesses with AI. At the event, I will share how an AI OS has changed the way I operate my business, create capacity, and deliver for clients—and what that journey has looked like from learning the basics to applying AI in the real world. If you are interested in learning about AI to start a small agency or advance at work, this event can open up a new future for you.

McKinsey’s State of AI 2026 includes a statistic that should get our attention: 🛠️ 32% of respondents said their organizations decided against purchasing at least one software product or feature because they could build it internally using agentic coding tools. That is not a prediction. It is already happening. But here is an interesting question: Do you think these solutions are being built by formal IT departments—or by front-office professionals who understand the business problems? You may be surprised by the answer. Until recently, building software required a development team, significant capital, and months—or even years—of work. Agentic coding tools are changing that equation for both IT and the front office professional. For those of us in AI Bits & Pieces who are progressing beyond AI Enthusiast and are interested in becoming an AI Builder, learning this skill creates a significant career opportunity. Becoming a builder does not necessarily mean becoming a traditional software developer. It means learning how to use AI to: 🔹 Turn an idea into a working tool 🔹 Automate a business process 🔹 Connect systems and data 🔹 Build functionality a business might otherwise purchase 🔹 Solve a real problem and create measurable value These capabilities can help you advance your career, create new opportunities within your business, or begin building solutions for clients. The tools are lowering the technical barrier. What still matters is your ability to understand the problem, determine what should be built, and guide the solution toward a meaningful outcome. If you are interested in taking that next step, I invite you to be my special guest at the next AI for Life Weekly Live Session. 📣If you are interested in being one of my special guests at the next live session, comment “AI for Life” below or send me a direct message here in Skool: @Michael Wacht AI for Life is a community founded by @Matthew Sutherland on the Skool platform where I continue to hone my own low-code/no-code AI-building skills alongside others who are learning to build practical, real-world solutions to advance their career.

Copilot Chat is where you can ask questions, create content, summarize information, and get help organizing work. Depending on your Microsoft plan and permissions, it may also be able to use work content such as chats, email, and files - that's in a forthcoming post. That makes it a good starting point before jumping into Outlook, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. 🔁 Practice This Open Copilot Chat and ask it to help organize your workday. 1) Make sure you have WorkIQ selected (refer to screen shot). 2 ) Prompt: "Organize my day." Nothing fancy yet. Simple. Here is a sample of an actual response from the prompt: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T-5PfK5u_Uzbep_utRJ0ddwCqmv8sbExP5t5nOxxX2Y/edit?usp=sharing The goal is to practice giving Copilot a small, useful assignment. 💬 Sample Prompt 2 Use this as a starting point: I am learning Microsoft Copilot. Help me organize my workday. Ask me three questions about what I need to get done today. Then create a simple priority list with: - Top priorities - Quick wins - Items that can wait - Anything that needs clarification Do not send, delete, move, update, schedule, publish, share, or modify anything without my explicit approval. 🔍 What You Are Looking For You are watching how Copilot responds when you give it a small work assignment. Look for: - Did it ask useful questions? - Did it organize your answers clearly? - Did it separate priorities from lower-value tasks? - Did it flag anything unclear? - Did it respect your safety boundary? The point is not to make Copilot perfect. The point is to learn how it works. 📌 Note: Copilot Chat can be general or work-aware depending on your account, license, and available work context. Microsoft notes that Copilot Chat can be found in Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook, and Edge, and that capabilities can vary based on setup. (Microsoft Support)
