The age of the non-enterprise, out-of-the-box AI assistant has arrived.
I love just sitting and staring at the screen when the AI works away on what I told it to do.
It’s impressive. However, you must keep a close eye on it and supervise most of the activities. Still, it’s better than doing it yourself. Right?
There are several agentic AI assistants you can use easily right now. They are great for personal use or running a small business. These AI agents help with a wide range of tasks without needing special setup or big budgets.

General-Purpose AI Agents: Non-Enterprise Options
Here are the leading non-enterprise, out-of-the-box general AI agents available for individual and small business use.
ChatGPT Agent Mode
Works like a smart helper inside your computer.
Can do research, write emails, fill out forms, create presentations and spreadsheets, and shop online for you.
You get access with ChatGPT paid plans ($20/month or more), but there’s a monthly limit on how much you can use it.
It’s the most mature and safe option for everyday tasks.
Perplexity Comet
This is a web browser with a built-in AI assistant. It helps you find information, manage emails, plan trips, and shop online automatically.
Perplexity's Comet browser itself does not have a cost, but requires a subscription to Perplexity Pro (which costs $20/month or $200/year) or Perplexity Max ($200/month) for access.
The AI keeps track of all your tabs and activity to make smart suggestions.
This AI acts like a digital worker. It writes reports, analyzes data, makes content, helps with coding, and keeps working even when you log off.
Manus AI pricing includes a Manus Starter plan at $39/month with 3,900 credits and a Manus Pro plan at $199/month with 19,900 credits.
Microsoft Copilot Agent Mode
Integrated into Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Can create documents, automate spreadsheets, and help with presentations.
Best if you already use Microsoft products.
Tips for Choosing:
If you want an easy-to-use AI for daily jobs, try ChatGPT Agent Mode.
For powerful web browsing and research help, Perplexity Comet is great.
If you need AI for big, complex projects, Manus.ai might be worth it.
Use Microsoft Copilot if you mostly work with Microsoft Office apps.
Developers and tech experts might prefer Google Gemini or Claude for advanced tasks.
Most systems are new and improving fast. ChatGPT Agent Mode is currently the friendliest for most users.
