The AI assistant sector is rapidly evolving from "chat and Q&A" to "task automation," intensifying market competition. According to a September 22 Bloomberg report, SpaceXAI's Grok Bot reached 418,000 weekly active users as of September 14, a 24% increase from the previous week. Meta's Muse climbed to #2 on the US App Store's free chart within two days of its launch and topped the chart on September 22, pushing ChatGPT behind it.

Meanwhile, according to a September 21 report by tech media The Information, OpenAI is urgently preparing to launch a personal agent product codenamed "Aeon" as early as this week to counter the dual challenge. This product will be packaged and branded based on existing "agent" technology in Codex and ChatGPT, with the goal of debuting before the DevDay developer conference in San Francisco on September 29. Analysts believe that whoever can first capture the "workflow entry point" for users will directly determine the next phase of user stickiness and commercialization potential.
