Seeing how darn convenient it is having GrokBot integrated into X (an app I’m used to having on my phone all the time) I’m thinking Slack+Teams became the most valuable human/AI interface for work purposes Salesforce + Microsoft not even realizing this like they should

the Grok Bot team ships quality at an incredible pace! we've invested in making our code friendly for agents, by making the easy thing the right thing. engineers, designers, and PMs all contribute multiple hundreds of PRs a day: fixing bugs, polishing the user experience, and making our apps faster and more reliable. it isn't perfect of course and we do make mistakes, but we aim to learn from each occurrence and improve our workflows so our bots don't make the same mistake twice. i personally think that Grok Bot is the best example today in the industry of where all those tokens are going: quality and velocity, without compromise. something i think people forget in the discussion around token usage is that software development is an iceberg - new features are only a small fraction of the work in maintaining high quality software. and we will keep accelerating and improving!

My dream AI agent tool: - Opus 5.5 Level Model (never delegates to worse) - Spins up cloud and local code sessions - Dots level real time voice / tool use - Codex level Computer use on local sessions - Claude Artifacts quality decks, docs and design - Mobile app is UI of duet - Inline mini apps (What Grokbot is doing with email and slack, but do this with alot more tools) - Webhooks (Like Grokbot has) - Built in social media access across all platforms - Plugins (of course) In summary: I want an always on, frontier model powered employee that can use its own computer, and can use my computer 24/7 that self organizes all of its tasks into channels so that its easy to keep track of all the things we've done together. And I want to be able to control this agent on mobile, web, desktop, and most importantly real time voice.

@petergyangOct 27

In the near future, instead of reading or doing anything online, people are just going to tag their agent to do it. @bot is an early signal of this.

Unfortunately, CLI agents are no longer the ideal interface for working with agents. This has been the case for months now. It hurts to say because I have been a heavy CLI user. The reality is that new interfaces like Grok Bot, the Codex app, and others are so good that they make it easier to take advantage of the new ways to work with agents. They also make it easier to scale agent work, collaborate with complex multi-agent systems, build from anywhere, and manage the development lifecycle smoothly (with little overhead). This shift will become even more obvious in the coming months as LLMs continue to improve at things like persistence, coordination, parallelization, tool calling/MCP, memory, harness optimization, multimodal capabilities, intent understanding, UI generation, etc. The point of contact keeps getting simpler as agents continue to improve. I expect that pattern to continue. My rule of thumb now is that I don't want to use an interface that holds the model back or keeps me from leveraging it to its absolute limits.

if you want to get the best out of Hermes today... do this: > list every tool you use daily, business or not > find their APIs, MCPs, CLIs... anything you can feed to an agent > prompt Hermes to run a full context collection interview > describe your workflows in plain english when done, prompt your agent to analyze all the material, come up with a proper project structure and .md files you now have a full workspace built around YOUR business (that you can move from Hermes to Claude Code or Grok Bot) not a generic setup... not someone else's template... a system that knows how you work, what tools you use, and what you're trying to do that's the difference between using AI and having AI work for you

@petergyangOct 25

This is what I like about Grok @Bot's mental model vs the alternatives. It's really easy to wrap my head around each bot being an employee with a specific job that I can onboard and make better over time. Meanwhile: 1. Dots: Everything happens in a single thread and gets really confusing 2. Muse/Duet: Side channels and chats help here but don't feel as personalized as an AI bot employee

@amix3kOct 25

ChatGPT and Claude aren’t the endgame of AI. Even something like Grok Bot and Muse are early prototypes of the future. I see four levels: 1. Smart features (Google Maps, Todoist Ramble): AI/ML improves part of the experience, e.g., finding a route or capturing tasks. 2. Chat in the app (Copilot): A sidebar with AI helps you work with what’s in the app. 3. Chat is the interface (ChatGPT, Grok Bot): You describe what you want, and the assistant uses tools to do the work. The chat window is still where you go to delegate and follow up. 4. Agents as collaborators (Shopify River, Doistbot): Agents are participants in your work. They use context, ask questions when needed, and deliver results alongside your teammates in *your* tools/environment. Very few individuals and organizations operate at Level 4, but this is the endgame. You can see early glimpses of this, and it’s only in the last few months that Level 4 is even possible.

i'm closing all new enrollments for the Real-Time AI Ops Community i've also frozen every subscription for 30 days, so everyone inside basically gets a month for free i still believe it's the most valuable community in the AI space... it's already super interactive, with agents trained on your context and memory in every section but it needs to evolve very soon, i expect most members to pull content straight from Claude Code or Grok Bot instead of watching videos and reading guides... so i can't keep delivering it that way i'm taking the time to completely rework how the info gets to you the vision: your agent makes a tool call to my brain and picks up exactly what it needs: - the latest SEO workflows that work best - my own skills, installed as i build them - the right tool for the task in front of you all from the agent you already use i'm also building my own GUI so all of this looks great and shows the data exactly how i want it when the community opens again, it's going to feel like nothing you've used before will keep you posted

One week later, Pele is already in dozens of apps including @obsdmd 1.15 and @bot! Many improvements this week: - Even faster rendering! - Math resolver support: KaTeX, MathJax, Temml, etc - Gradients in sankey diagrams - Fewer edge crossings in diagrams with subgraphs - Subscript, superscript and inline code in labels + text styles: kbd, underline, ins, cite and others On a personal note, I am so grateful for all the love Pele received! I truly did not expect it. My hope with Pele was to get a few bug reports ahead of the Obsidian release, so it's a wonderful feeling to see it adopted so quickly. I take this as a great honor and responsibility. If you added Pele to your app or website, feel free to share it below 🌋

About 7 out of 10 people who put something in an online shopping cart leave without paying. Grok Bot can now remember your logins, your cards and your address, which happens to be every single thing that checkout page was about to ask you for. Baymard Institute surveys shoppers about this every year, and the reasons are painfully normal. About 1 in 5 say they've dropped an order just because the site wanted them to make an account. Almost as many give up because the checkout simply takes too long. I worked at Affirm, which lives right inside that checkout button, and one thing you figure out quick there is that every box you make somebody fill in costs you buyers. Grok Bot has been knocking out those boxes one at a time since the summer. In August it got single-use cards, a fresh one for each purchase, with you approving every spend. In September it hooked into 1Password so it could sign you into sites without ever seeing your password. Today it got a vault of its own. There's a reason it took three steps to get here. Your bot doesn't live on your phone. It runs on a computer in a data center, so none of the passwords saved on your iPhone or in Chrome ever make it over there, and every login screen or card form used to be a spot where it had to stop and ping you. Now put that next to everything else X shipped this year. X Money went live over the summer with a Visa debit card. This week @bot started taking requests when you tag it under any post and passing them to your own Grok Bot. Elon's been talking about X as an everything app since he bought Twitter in 2022, and money was always the hard part. So picture somebody posting a video of a jacket they love, or a guy in a thread swearing by a hotel in Tokyo. You reply @bot, and the request lands with a bot that already has everything the store's checkout page is going to ask for. Meta spent years trying to build this exact thing. In 2023 it forced US shops onto checkout inside Facebook and Instagram, which meant every store plugging its catalog into Meta. By 2025 Meta pulled the plug and started sending every Buy button back to the store's own website. An agent goes to that same website. It fills out the regular checkout page like you would, and the store doesn't have to integrate a thing. Social apps have been chasing a real buy button for about a decade, and it might end up being a reply that says @bot.

My unfiltered thoughts on personal agents. Grokbot has the best UI and it’s arguably the best overall. In a lot of ways they’re ahead. Their desktop app feels the best, and their multi-bot coordination is great: you can set a team lead and it passes tasks to the other bots. Grokbot also has the best “webhook” feature, which means you can easily turn outside events into triggers that start your agents. That speeds up background workflows like watching your email, Slack and more. It also has Cursor integration, so for bigger tasks Grokbot can spin up a Cursor cloud session with any model (until OpenAI cuts SpaceX off from their models, which I think will happen soon). Unfortunately, running frontier models through Cursor costs more than Claude or Codex. Still, they’re the only ones embracing a team of agents. It’s a really cool idea, but the more bots you have, the more time you spend managing and maintaining them. I’m starting to think one bot with different threads/channels is the right answer, which I’ll get to with Claude Duet. dots by OpenAI is rough around the edges right now, but it’s probably the most powerful if you use Codex, which I do. dots can spin up Codex sessions in the cloud or locally on your computer. So if you have coding or video editing workflows that need your local files, this is very useful. Codex computer use is also the best in the world: your dot can spin up a local Codex session that fully controls your computer, as long as it’s on. Their real-time voice is incredible. If you have your email and work tools connected, try this: go on a walk with headphones in, ask the agent to summarize your emails, have it draft replies and read them back to you, then send them off. If I remember right, this is close to a workflow you (Tim) used to have with your VAs before AI. It’s my favorite use case for personal agents. The one downside is that you have to call your agent, and it’s an awful experience. It literally rings, and it’s annoying. Muse by Meta is a toy. I’ve talked to a bunch of finance people I play poker with who all tried it and set up automations, and they all said it doesn’t reliably do what they want. It’s fast, and its user numbers will probably keep growing. But it’s basically free: you get a TON of usage without paying a dime. That’s NOT a trade I’m willing to make. An agent doing high-leverage tasks should be running at the Opus 5.5 or GPT 6.1 Sol level. Claude Duet - is in early access, so unfortunately not everyone can use it yet. First things first, it runs on Opus 5.5, the best model in the world. I’ve only had access for 72 hours, but Duet feels different from the others. It’s not a personified agent like Grokbot, dot or Muse, which gives it a more professional vibe that I like. When you ask your Duet agent to do something, it spins up a task, which is a new chat thread. All your threads show up in a Tasks tab, so it’s easy to see everything Duet is working on or has finished. And instead of creating more agents (like Grokbot), you create channels, just like Slack (I can tell @anthropic is Slack-pilled). I have a content channel, a finances channel, etc., which keeps different kinds of tasks separate. The only other app I’ve seen do this is Buzz by @jack, and it’s a good experience. Their strong point is documents (artifacts). If you want decks, high-quality docs or design mockups, Opus just wins. Period. It’s not close right now. Their weak point is real-time voice. It’s the worst of the bunch and borderline unusable, though I think they only added it a few days ago. Instinct lives in iMessage, has no app, and doesn’t do anything notable besides show you product suggestions you didn’t ask for. (Not ads, according to their team.) My hot take: The VM is overrated. SpaceX, OpenAI and Meta all talk about the VM your agent can use and feature it in their marketing. It’s not as useful as you’d think, because more and more websites block bots that visit their site on the cloud VM. All of these companies promise their agents can make payments, but most payments either take forever or get blocked altogether. SpaceX has a cool workaround with Grokbot that routes traffic through your computer so it uses your IP address. But I’d much rather the agent just USE my computer for the task, like dot does by handing it off to Codex. Also, i don't think normal people care about the virtual computer. If anything they get offended they have to "stream a computer". The problem with personal agents: by the time you read this, pick one, and test it for 7 days, every one of them will have released 10 new features and the whole landscape will have changed. It’s nearly impossible to keep up.

SpaceXSI's @mattyp says "UI is dead," and the next generation of internal tools won't need a UI: "UI is dead. I just gotta throw out the hot takes. In all seriousness, I build UIs every day. But a surprising number of things that I thought I needed a UI for, I really didn’t." "There was low code, then vibe coding internal tools. There’s this next phase of internal tooling that is just chat, just an agent." "Software is really just a UI, a back end, and a data source. If the agent acts as the back end and has access to a spreadsheet, and chat is the UI, you can get a surprising number of things done." @bot @spacexai

@mtsliveOct 23

SpaceXSI’s @mattyp explains why software built for humans is slowing down AI agents: "Late 2025 everybody was pretty skeptical. The discourse on X was, coding agents are cool, but I still read all the code. Then something happened 2025 to 2026 where people were like, actually I read less of the code." "All of these tools around knowledge work were designed for humans over the past 30, 40 years. It’s kinda funny to think about Grok Bot, an agent with a computer that is basically using a remote desktop to do things for humans." "Booking a flight, interacting with spreadsheets, making decks, these are designed for humans and might be better designed for agents." @bot @spacexai

@mtsliveOct 23

SpaceXSI’s @mattyp reveals how Grok Bot can log into your accounts without ever seeing your password: "There’s a reviewer agent that oversees every action the bot can take. If I was gonna send an email or a Slack message or fill in sensitive information, Grok Bot is going to escalate to that review agent and require your permission." "First days of personal agents, all your credentials were stored in plain text on a disk somewhere. Today that’s much different." "When you give Grok Bot information, it’s stored securely in a vault, so both the bot and the computer don’t have access. When you put your password or credit card info into a website, that data is encrypted from the form to the browser. The bot actually doesn’t know what it is." @bot @spacexai

@mtsliveOct 23

SpaceXSI's @mattyp reveals why Grok Bot users keep creating an AI chief of staff to manage their other bots: "What we found is that almost everyone had this usage pattern where they’re creating a chief of staff or a single point bot that would then manage these other bots." "We designed Grok Bot to feel like an AI companion such that you’re creating these little coworkers. But having one bot that serves as an inbox or a catchall is something that most people do, and we’ve started to build it into the product." "One primary bot, and then specific bots for different use cases, which if you’re gonna create team bots or share them with folks on your team, turns out to be pretty helpful." @bot @spacexai
