A new competitor has emerged in the market of artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistants, one that bears a striking resemblance to Muse. Dots is OpenAI's latest offering, and it's being marketed primarily as a business tool.
Dots is available for a minimum subscription fee of $100 per month, making it a more expensive option than some other AI-powered assistants on the market. Despite its hefty price tag, Dots can be customized to create a cute character, similar to Muse.
