This new wave of agents like Muse, Grok Bot, and dots is the only way (so far) these AI providers can build any kind of brand loyalty. Most people will not want to switch back and forth based on who has the best model or the best price. Not once the agent knows your projects, your people, your connectors/accounts, and how you like things done, etc. These companies realize this, which is why they're pushing so aggressively here. The models themselves keep getting closer. Whoever's best this month usually gets matched within a few weeks. So the fight is over who holds your memory, and I doubt any of them will make it easy to export. What comes to mind now is building a system where you own the data and workflows so you can plug and play with any one of these providers, making it easy to switch. Memory as plain files on your own machine, skills and cron jobs you wrote yourself, and the model as one setting you change whenever something better or cheaper comes along. This is why Hermes is so great. I own everything and swap out models as I need to.
