Grok Bot vs OpenAI dots: the hosted always-on agents compared
Grok Bot and OpenAI dots are the hosted answer to OpenClaw: always-on agents with their own cloud computer, and no setup. Both are tied to their maker: dots runs on OpenAI's models inside ChatGPT, and Grok Bot routes between models without a picker.
