Persistent agents appeal to AI companies, but demand isn't obvious.
Key facts
- ABI Research argues that "AI claws", always-on agents, will shape enterprise AI adoption
- For example, Elon Musk said on Tuesday that Grok Bot would become a model router rather than a front-end for a specific model
- Going forward, SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs," he said
- Then there's a potentially lower cost option, called (confusingly) Open Dot, powered by AI models running on OpenRouter
Summary
When OpenAI introduced dots last month, it pitched them as "always-on agents" running in their own cloud computer, but that may be overstating the readiness of the technology and of the people trying to use it. Presently, multiple users are reporting task failures and connection issues with their dots. OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment about the usage of dots. ABI Research argues that "AI claws", always-on agents, will shape enterprise AI adoption.
