GrokBot vs Dots vs Hermes Agent: Best AI Agent?

So today, we're going to be comparing Dots versus this Hermes agent. And this is actually based on a question we got inside the AR Profit Boardroom. Shout out to Rod.

So we're going to be comparing these three agents side by side. So if you're not familiar with it, you've got, which is from Grok, that's using Grok 4.7. And then you have, for example, Dots. And Dots is another AI agent that basically comes from Chat, Cheapity, and Opening AI. And then over here, we have Hermes Agent, which actually comes from News Research. And there's many ways you can run Hermes Agent, actually. Now, some people wonder why we compare in Hermes Agent to Grokbot. Essentially, Hermes Agent is still an agent, and also they have built in their own sort of bot version in here, as you can see. And we can look through all of our different bots inside the cloud too. So which one is better? Let's get straight into it and do the comparisons. So the first thing that I would say here is that out of all of the agents I've used personally, I would genuinely say the Grok bot is probably the easiest to use. It's the smoothest from everything I've seen so far. The computer actually works pretty quickly. And also one of the things that I can see about it is just the UI is super nice, right? It looks really nice. Whereas, for example, a lot of people have access to dots, and they don't even know where to use it or how to use it or how to get started with it. And that kind of gets confusing. And additionally, if you look at the UI here, it just kind of looks and still feels like Chat GPT. There's no big difference between Grokbot and Chat GPT, really, when you compare them, like, normally. But if you have a look here, for example, dots and Chat GPT, not a big difference. Still feels like a chat, right? Now you can call it, but you can call your normal Chat GPT. You could say you can attach it to apps, but actually you can do that in Chat GPT as well. And you may say, okay, I can connect it to my phone, but you already have the app with Chat GPT, right? There's not actually a massive difference between using something like GPT and Dots normally, from what I've found so far. There is a big difference with Grohbob, and I'll talk you why. So when you're looking at Grohbob, basically you have a team. You've got a team of AI agents that are all working together over here. And that's quite a big difference because your agents can work together. Now they all share the same computer screen. So when they're working on a computer in the cloud, it's not like they have separate computer screens. They all share the same one.

But when you actually look in this and compare in it, it's like, okay, you've basically got a team of AI agents that can actually talk to each other. And that's really useful because you can train, for example, one on content, one on research, one on SEO, one as CEO, one as the chief of staff. And you can actually have your chief of staff command all your other AI agents, which is what we did over here. And that's a huge difference. Now, if you go over to Chat Cheapity Dots, one of the things that is super annoying, and I still can't get my head around it. I think I know why, but I still can't get my head around this, is basically when you're using dots, and sometimes when you call it, it will take 30 seconds to answer, and you're like, how?

It's an AI. It's literally supposed to be on 24-7. For example, here, you can see we're calling it, and it's still not answered whilst I'm talking to you. Now, the whole point of AI is to save you time.

What's the... If I wanted to wait 30 seconds for a team member to reply to me, I might as well have a human. So you can see here, it's still not actually replied. It's still not actually responded to the call and the phone call that we've made.

That's weird to me.

It just doesn't make sense. Like, why is it not answering my phone calls? Why is the AI ghosting me essentially? So there's a lot of bugs with dots that I still don't get. I can see in some of the comments here, so for example, Randall says, I still don't get dots either, which I don't really get it as well. I think that it's not that useful in reality.
