Personal AI Agents Compared
Seven personal AI agents side by side: Meta's Muse, OpenAI's dots, Google's Gemini, Apple's Siri, Microsoft's Copilot, Amazon's Alexa+ and the open-source OpenClaw. Where each one runs, where its memory lives, whether you can give it a name, and what it costs. Each row says when we last checked it.

The only live cell is OpenClaw's last code push, read from GitHub when the page opens; the other products publish no public feed for their apps, so their rows are checked by hand and dated.

Choosing One
- You want it to act for you while you are away: Muse or dots, which each run on their own cloud computer.
- You live in one ecosystem: Siri on an iPhone, Gemini on Android, Copilot on Windows, Alexa+ on Echo speakers.
- You want your memory on your own machine: OpenClaw, with the model of your choice.
- You want to name it: Muse and OpenClaw take any name; Alexa+ takes one from a short list.
Next: Name It and Give It a Card
If your agent takes a name, make one that works out loud with the AI agent name generator, then turn it into an IDENTITY.md, a SOUL.md or an A2A agent card with the persona card. The list of names already taken shows what to avoid.
FAQ
Which personal AI agent is the most private?
OpenClaw, because it runs on your own machine and keeps its memory in files you can read; the model you connect still sees what you send it. Of the big products, Siri keeps the most on the device. Muse, dots, Gemini, Copilot and Alexa+ keep their memory in the maker's cloud.
Can I give my AI agent its own name?
With Muse and OpenClaw, yes. Alexa+ lets you pick its wake word from a short list. Gemini, Siri and Copilot keep their own names, though a Gem in Gemini can have one. The AI agent name generator makes names that work out loud.
