AI Personal Assistant AlternativesViktor Editor's Verdict
What is Viktor?
Viktor is the business-focused executive assistant of the bunch.
If you've tried the other apps on this page and have felt "this is too personal/consumer-focused", then what you actually need is the AI personal assistant that's built for founders. While it can still do the personal side that AI assistants, it's more geared toward business owners and solopreneurs, looking for an employee to help hand things off to.
Viktor works in Slack and Microsoft Teams, so it has full context on what is happening inside of your business. It is also an agent, so it can also go off and execute tasks for you.
Imagine you have a new project idea, but instead of needing to write an entire brief, Viktor has context from your conversations with your team mate, so you can just tell him to get started on it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Viktor has the most integrations of everything else listed here, but they're business software integrations, not personal
- He's one of the most secure options on the market, as since it's built for business, it's SOC 2 compliant, and have all the team privacy/security sharing features available
Cons
- While Viktor at time uses a virtual computer to get work done, you can't actually access it, like you can with Muse and Grok Bot
- If you try using him for things like grocery lists and grocery shopping, you're going to feel like it's the wrong tool for the job quite quickly
Pricing
- Viktor is credit-based, so the team just charges a small margin atop of direct LLM costs, so it's similar to using Claude or ChatGPT via credits.
You can get your first month + $100 in free credit ($200 value), by using our Viktor discount code.
Muse Editor's Verdict
What is Muse?
Muse is Meta's new personal AI assistant and it's currently free 👀 Free AI personal assistant? You don't need to tell me twice!
Unlike a normal AI chatbot, Muse can actually complete tasks for you. It can shop, watch deals for you, fill out returns, forms, and about a zillion other things. It's also incredibly easy to use. If you can use Meta or Instagram, you can use Muse. It's just one long chat, and you can even connect your WhatsApp and chat with it right from there.
My Experience with Muse
While I've used my fair share of AI tools for work, this is the first personal assistant I have. Every time something comes up, I tell Muse.
For example, I asked it to let me know when my favorite band will be in town, and to make my Black Friday wish list and monitor deals. My biggest win so far is around shopping.
I gave it a tight set of criteria to help me find a mineral sunscreen that wouldn't leave a white cast. I asked it to find Reels of real users using it too. And it did!
I'm excited to continue to use it.
Pros and Cons

- Easiest personal AI agent to use
- Works through a familiar chat
- Can research, browse websites, fill out forms, and complete tasks
- Finds useful Instagram content and Reels during product research
- Keeps working after you close the app
- Can handle recurring tasks and monitoring
- Available through WhatsApp
- Currently free to try
Cons
- Windows users need to use the browser because there isn't a Windows app
- Amazon and other websites may block it
Key Features
Task Execution
Muse gets its own secure virtual computer and browser. This means it can visit websites, fill out forms, use your accounts with permission, etc.
My husband asked it to submit a warranty claim for a broken device, and Muse handled the process for him. It asks for approval before sensitive actions such as sending something or making a purchase, and you can review what it has done.
Recurring Tasks and Monitoring
Muse can repeat tasks or monitor something without waiting for you to ask again.
You could have it watch for an appointment, track the price of an item, look for tickets, monitor a full class for an opening, or complete monthly administrative work.
Our meal-prep chef needed a simple way to send invoices, so she asked Muse to create and send them automatically on the first of each month. She didn't need to learn an invoicing platform or build an automation, she just told Muse what she needed!
Pricing
Muse is currently free for most everyday use, but Meta hasn't published an exact number of free tasks or credits. When you reach the free limit, you can wait for it to refresh or upgrade.
- Free: Best for trying Muse with research, shopping, and basic personal-assistant tasks.
- Power: $20/month. Best for people who use Muse regularly and need more capacity.
- Maximum: $100/month. Best for heavy users running frequent or demanding tasks.
