Andrew Warner and Michael Galpert test Instinct, GrokBot, and Muse head-to-head using the same Airbnb search to see how each agent handles research, follow-ups, browser control, purchasing, speed, and usability. They also compare pricing, connectors, reusable agent personas, multiplayer coordination, and where each tool fits best for personal and business workflows.
