90% of the {muse,grokbot,instinct,dots,...} fuss is just that your {aunt,cousin,neighbor's dad} probably doesn't have a good codex or claude code setup, and probably does not have a great local machine to run them from anyway.
So everyone is trying to give the aunts, cousins, neighbor's dads some of the agent capabilities that developers have been closer to.
That said, there's the other 10% here that is not necessarily new capability unlocks vs codex, but general product experience that can have some benefit to people already used to what the latest models can do

Why do they want it? What are some use cases that make sense?
I'd assume it pulls at the very human desire to do less so you can spend your time as you want. Collectively, we are really good at making systems we don't understand and still have to exist in this world: Laws, taxes, internet check outs, etc. This is trying to flatten the curve between desire and result for things someone genuinely doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to become an expert in.
