What they did

A user gave Meta Muse and Grok Bot the same job: find a 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch camera tripod adapter, with the best deal and the fastest shipping.

How it went

Muse won. It found a single adapter that matched and would arrive the next day, in about half the time. Grok Bot found adapters, but not the right size, and kept suggesting multipacks.

Worth knowing

  • One informal head-to-head, not a benchmark.
  • Grok Bot picked the wrong size here, so check the spec on whatever it finds before you buy.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Find a [exact part, with sizes] for [use]. I want one unit, not a multipack. Rank the options by price and delivery date, confirm the size on each listing, and give me the top 3 links.

Recommended

Try it in Grok Bot

  1. Copy the prompt (button below).
  2. Open Grok Bot chat and paste it. Replace any [bracketed] placeholders.
  3. Connect the listed tools (as needed) as connectors when Grok Bot asks.
  4. If the task repeats, ask: "Make this a daily routine."

Alternatives: the same prompt works in Meta Muse, Claude, ChatGPT Agent, OpenClaw.

Set it up

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
