Pick by the job, not by stars. These layers can compose — they do not all replace each other.
The office
You want named teammates the whole team can sit with — multiplayer, shared knowledge, each bot with a computer.
Personal
You want one personal agent that remembers you and writes its own skills over time.
Every pairwise vs, plus the full four-way.
Compare
Four names show up in every “which agent?” thread. They are not the same layer.

OpenClaw is a personal gateway across chat apps. Groxbot is multiplayer teammates with a shared knowledge base.
Compare
Paperclip orchestrates agents with org charts and budgets. Groxbot is where people hire and message teammates.

Both are personal. Hermes leans learning loop; OpenClaw leans channel reach. Neither is a team office.
Same motion — named teammates you message — but Groxbot is multiplayer and fair-code so you can self-host. xAI Grok Bot is a closed, hosted product. Do not present Groxbot as xAI Grok Bot.
Yes. Guest runtimes are opt-in per bot and off by default. They dial out to Groxbot. Default teammates use hosted models or a workspace BYOK key.
Hermes and OpenClaw are personal agents on your machine. Groxbot is multiplayer: named teammates, each with a computer, a shared knowledge base, and a messaging UI the whole company can sit in. Guest runtimes are opt-in and off by default.
Personal agents keep memory on one machine. Orchestrators track tickets and budgets. Groxbot is built so the whole team shares threads and office knowledge — that is the gap.
Multiplayer + shared knowledge
Name, optional job, how it should work. Open the thread. The first message is a real task.
