SAME INPUTS. EXPLICIT CONDITIONS.

Shared personal-assistant tests

Synthetic text-only baseline for the actual Muse, Grok Bot and dots product surfaces. No connected apps, messages to people, purchases, file writes, schedules or persistent settings. First responses and all failures are retained. This suite cannot establish connector enforcement, long-term memory, background reliability or store integration.

Suite: personal-assistant-v1. Run each exact input once in the actual product, in the listed order. Record account plan, existing context, product surface, submission and observation times, unedited first output and every condition. Repeat runs must retain earlier outputs. Unknown cost and usage stay null. A same-case comparison also requires matching suite version and task conditions.

Current access and context

Muse: The official Muse web entry displayed a phone-or-email login field and a Continue button. No signed-in task interface was reached and no benchmark input was submitted. Read evidence and limits
Grok Bot: The official Grok Bot page offered desktop-client downloads and Sign in with your plan. Google sign-in completed with user-approved terms, but the resulting browser surface was ordinary Grok chat rather than an observed Bot workspace. No shared-suite input was submitted to ordinary Grok. Read evidence and limits
dots: Six exact text-only requests in an existing primary dot on signed-in ChatGPT desktop web. Existing account context was not reset. No connected actions, durable-memory test or background-task run was requested. Conditions were assessed by Codex; human editorial review is pending. Read evidence and limits

Download the exact shared suite · How we test

Access blockers are not product failures. A single unconnected text response does not verify sending controls, plugin scope, durable memory, background completion or a store connection. Costs are unknown until measured in the relevant account.

Delegate one bounded operator task

For an ecommerce operator, begin with a launch brief, supplier questions or a proposed schedule. Provide approved facts and a clear output format. These are general personal assistants; listing them here does not assert a native Amazon, TikTok Shop or Shopify integration.

Expand only after an observed result

Check the first output against each fixed condition, retain failures and separate drafting from sending. The suite includes missing-data, timezone and untrusted-instruction cases. A text response can demonstrate reasoning under these inputs; it cannot establish live action enforcement, long-term memory or unattended reliability.
