Best personal agents AI tools and models

Browser Use is an MIT-licensed Python library and a paid cloud service that let AI agents operate real web browsers, made by a Y Combinator startup founded by Magnus Müller and Gregor Žunič. Its GitHub repository had about 118,300 stars on October 17, 2026, up from about 50,000 at its 17 million USD seed round in March 2025.

Best for:

Python developers building agents that must use websites with no API; QA and automation engineers maintaining Selenium or Playwright scripts

Biggest weakness:

Independent results are far below the maker's.

Manus is a general AI agent that researches and builds slides, websites, videos and games, made by a company founded in China in 2022 and based in Singapore. China blocked Meta's purchase of Manus on April 27, 2026; Manus resumed independent operations on September 1 and launched Manus 2.0 on September 28, 2026.

Best for:

Freelancers and small teams who hand off research, slide decks and simple websites; Marketers and operators who want work to start from an email, a Slack message or a calendar event

Biggest weakness:

Fails nearly all real freelance work.

Muse is Meta's personal AI agent: it books, shops, sends email and fills in forms from its own cloud computer, asking before it pays or sends. Meta launched it in the US on September 8, 2026 and has since added Canada. Early reviews are mixed, and Amazon blocks it from buying on its store.

Best for:

Adults in the US and Canada who want errands done without doing every step themselves; People who already run their lives through WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook

Biggest weakness:

Who should not use it now: anyone outside the US and Canada, anyone under 18, people who shop mostly on Amazon, and anyone unwilling to give Meta their email, calendar and a payment card.

Polsia is an AI service from Polsia, Inc. that says its agents plan, code and market a company with no human staff. Founder Ben Broca launched it in December 2025 and reports 10,000 paying customers; critics doubt his revenue figures, and his own numbers show nine in ten companies on it have yet to earn a dollar.

Best for:

Solo founders who want to test an idea with a live page, a payment link and a small ad budget before building anything by hand; Non-programmers who want a website, a database and Stripe checkout set up for them

Biggest weakness:

Most companies on Polsia earn nothing; anyone hoping it will replace a job or a salary should not rely on it.

Raccoon Work (商汤小浣熊) is SenseTime's AI assistant for office work: data analysis, documents and slides on web, desktop and phone. SenseTime merged its office and coding assistants into it on August 25, 2026, and its first-half results report cloud monthly users up nearly tenfold. No independent test of the new version is public yet.

Best for:

Office staff in marketing, HR, finance and sales who turn spreadsheets into reports and slides; Teachers and researchers analysing grades or lab data

Biggest weakness:

No independent test of the office agent since the relaunch.

Runable is a general AI agent that builds websites, apps, slides, documents, images and videos and now also runs ads and outreach, made by a 15-person startup in Bengaluru founded in 2025 by Umesh Kumar and Saksham Sarda. It turned on paid plans in March 2026 and raised a 21 million USD Series A on August 26, 2026.

Best for:

Owners of very small businesses, such as agencies, consultancies and cleaning companies, which Inc42 names among Runable's main users; Creators and solo operators who pay for separate chat, slide, website and video tools

Biggest weakness:

Ran no ads in the only press test.

WorkBuddy is Tencent's AI agent for office work, built by the Tencent Cloud CodeBuddy team and launched in China on March 9, 2026. In seven months it added a global edition and phone apps, and Tencent announced a Guangdong government version. It plans tasks, works on your local files and hands back documents, spreadsheets and slides.

Best for:

Office staff in China who turn spreadsheets and folders of files into reports and slides; Teams already on WeCom, QQ, Tencent Docs or Tencent Meeting

Biggest weakness:

Pulls numbers from documents unreliably.
