How we rank
Published · Updated
Every agent gets six scores from 0 to 10, and the overall score is their weighted average. The weights favor what matters when software acts for you: whether it actually finishes the errand, and whether it does it safely.
How do you rank personal AI agents?
Each product gets six scores out of 10, and the overall score is their weighted average: gets it done (30%), reach (15%), knows you (15%), safety & control (15%), value (15%), trust (10%). Personal agents, AI assistants and AI browsers are ranked separately, because a big chat assistant does different work from an agent built to run errands. Facts come from each company's own pages and public reporting, rechecked monthly.
Three types, ranked separately
Lots of AI products now say they "do things for you." We split them by what the product is built for, and each type gets its own ranking so a big chat assistant can't top the agent list just for being big.
- Personal agents (22)
- A product built to act for you on its own. You hand it an errand, often by text, and it carries it out across websites, apps and phone calls, then reports back. Doing things for you is the whole product, not a mode.
- Meta Muse, Instinct, Hark Pro, Pally, Grok Bot, OpenClaw, Comma, Poke, Rene, Ollie, Lindy, Town, Manus, Boski, szn, rabbit OS3, Ohai, Genspark, Martin, Fambot, Tomo, Simular Sai
- AI assistants with agent features (5)
- A general chat assistant that answers questions and writes, with agent features as one mode among many. Powerful, but you usually start each task yourself inside the app.
- ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Alexa+, Microsoft Copilot
- AI browsers (4)
- A web browser with an agent built in. It works through the sites you have open, in your own logged-in browser, rather than running errands in the background.
- Perplexity Comet, Opera Neon, Dia, Fellou
Borderline cases: ChatGPT's always-on "dots" and Gemini's Task mode are agents, but they live inside a general assistant, so we rank them with the assistants. Meta Muse and Grok Bot are separate products from Meta AI and the Grok chatbot, built to act for you, so they're personal agents. Work-focused agents like Lindy and Town are personal agents too, since acting for you is the whole product.
The six criteria
- Gets it done30%
- Does it finish real errands on its own, like booking, buying, filling forms and sorting your inbox, or does it mostly tell you how?
- Reach15%
- Can you use it where you already are: phone, computer, browser, text messages, voice?
- Knows you15%
- Does it remember your preferences, accounts and past requests, and can it act without being asked each time?
- Safety & control15%
- Does it ask before spending money or sending things, let you limit what it touches, and protect your logins and data?
- Value15%
- What do you get for free, what does real use cost each month, and how predictable is the bill?
- Trust10%
- Track record, refund terms, security history and what real users report.
The errand test
For every agent we mark six everyday errands as done on its own, done with your OK or only partly, or not done:
- Book reservations, rides and travel
- Shop and check out
- Handle email and calendar
- Fill forms and click through websites
- Cancel subscriptions, chase refunds, lower bills
- Research and compare
Where it works
We also track where you can reach each agent:
- Clicks through websites for you
- Works in the background or on a schedule
- Remembers you
- Works over text messages
- Talks by voice
- Phone app
Where the facts come from
Prices, plans and refund terms come from each company's own pages, and every review is dated. Where a company's page couldn't be read or shows only local currency, we use recent third-party checks and link them under Sources. Ratings link to the review site they came from. If we couldn't verify something, we leave it out.
Scores are our editorial judgment, based on each product's published features, documentation, terms and patterns in public user reviews. We don't claim hands-on testing we haven't done, and we don't publish made-up testimonials.
How this site is funded
Some links on this site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you sign up through them. That never buys a place in a ranking. Crevio, an AI agent for running a business, isn't a personal agent, so it isn't in these rankings and doesn't affect any score. We mention it only in a clearly separate note for readers who are really looking for a business agent. No company pays to be listed or to rank higher.
How often we update
We recheck all 31 agents at least once a month. The last full check was November 12, 2026.
