Each page compares the same six rows, from the makers' own pages, and links them. To be fair: all five also have a cloud computer or sandbox, memory and scheduled work.

Grok Bot, dots, Claude Duet, Claude Tag and Muse are products of SpaceXSI, OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta. pi-durable-bot is not affiliated with any of them. Out of date? Open an issue.
