We have some breaking news in the world

0:01

of AI agents. Cursor just released a new

0:04

product called Grokbot, and it's aimed

0:06

directly at Claude Co-work and GPT work.

0:10

It's a new agent platform that feels

0:12

like you're messaging a team of AI

0:14

agents, and it lets you connect these

0:16

agents to all of your different tools,

0:19

and it even lets you fully control a

0:22

working computer in the cloud. They

0:25

released a new web app and a mobile app,

0:27

and right now we're about to go through

0:29

every single feature in Grokbot, and

0:31

I'll share what I like and what I don't

0:33

like, and most importantly, what this

0:35

means for using agents in your business.

0:37

[music] Let's dive in. Okay, so here we

0:40

are in the brand new desktop app called

0:43

Grokbot, and this is a new platform

0:46

released by Cursor, which was acquired

0:49

by SpaceX, and Elon Musk decided that

0:52

this platform would be called Grokbot.

0:55

Not only did they release a brand new

0:56

desktop app that allows me to create a

0:58

team of agents. a content agent, a chief

1:01

of staff agent, a Grokbot agent, and my

1:04

developer agent. It also has an iOS app.

1:07

All of these are fully in sync. Whenever

1:10

I message here stays in sync on the iOS

1:14

app, and the iOS app is also called

1:17

Grokbot. And one of the first things you

1:19

may notice here is that my chief of

1:21

staff agent was actually having a

1:23

conversation with my content agent. I

1:26

can click on this right here, and I can

1:28

actually see the full conversation

1:30

between the two agents, but I don't want

1:32

to get a two ahead of myself. We'll get

1:34

here in just a second. Let's start from

1:36

the beginning because I want to cover

1:38

all of the different features that this

1:40

new Grokbot platform has. Okay, so the

1:43

first thing that you can do is you can

1:44

hit this plus sign, and we can actually

1:46

create a new bot. And so when you create

1:48

a new bot, it has like a really fun

1:50

little animation here. I'll make it a

1:52

little bit bigger, and this agent

1:54

basically gets created. And then it asks

1:56

me, "What do you mainly want me around

1:58

for?" Let's just call this guy email and

2:01

calendar manager. I also want you

2:06

connected to my Slack so you can read

2:11

that as well as Linear. And now the

2:15

agent says, "On it. I'm pulling up Slack

2:17

and Linear." And so now I can actually

2:19

just add the Linear plugin. So I can

2:22

authorize the Linear plugin just by

2:24

clicking this right here and I can

2:26

approve it on Linear. And now I can just

2:29

hit continue to sign in to my account.

2:31

Okay. Now Linear has been added. And so

2:35

I can just add plugins through

2:37

conversations. And then anytime you add

2:39

a plugin, it automatically message the

2:41

agent and it just says Linear's

2:43

connected. And then it says, "Slack

2:44

still needs to sign in." Okay, we'll

2:46

authorize Slack and I'll add it to my

2:49

agent native account here. And now it

2:51

says authorization complete. Now we can

2:54

go back to Crock-Bot and it sees that

2:56

it's connected. And now what I can do is

2:59

yeah, I say like yeah, at 9:00 a.m. give

3:03

me morning digest Linear

3:07

Slack email

3:10

plus calendar and put the main calendar

3:15

items first, then sponsorship

3:19

emails. And so you can just kind of

3:21

create these agents, use conversations

3:24

to connect all of your tools, and it can

3:26

kind of just do things for you in the

3:28

cloud. And then when you ask your agent

3:30

to create the automation, it'll actually

3:32

show up here as a routine. So you have

3:35

your chat and then you have your

3:37

routines. And you can see this little

3:39

side panel by clicking this button.

3:41

And when you click this button, you can

3:42

see settings.

3:44

You can see the computer, which we'll

3:46

get to in just a second. And then you

3:48

can also see the routines right here.

3:50

Okay. So before we dive into the

3:52

computer, I do want to talk about

3:54

naming. So, if I click on this, up here

3:58

we have name. We'll just call this guy

4:00

EA.

4:02

A little executive assistant. And I'll

4:04

just say executive

4:06

assistant in this title section watch

4:09

here. If I click off, here a little

4:12

executive assistant tag pops up here.

4:15

And manages Riley's email and calendar,

4:18

inbox triage, replying meeting prep,

4:21

focus on sponsorship

4:24

stuff in his email,

4:27

etc.

4:29

And yeah, so we just created an EA

4:31

agent. Okay, so now let's go to our iOS

4:34

app. You'll notice here that the EA

4:36

agent is already alive and well, and

4:39

these are perfectly in sync. So, let's

4:41

send a message over iMessage. Hey buddy,

4:44

I need you to take another close look at

4:47

the emails. Um can you please just give

4:49

me a little summary of the support

4:51

tickets? I I I just want to go through

4:53

those for Vibe Code and Chorus. So, I

4:55

can fire that prompt in.

4:58

And you'll notice here, I love the

5:00

little animations like this little

5:01

triangle guy, but you'll notice that

5:03

they're in perfect sync

5:05

both the iOS app and the desktop app.

5:09

Okay, so now let's go over to my content

5:12

agent. And as you can see here, this

5:13

agent is actually scraping uh Instagram

5:15

posts. Right now it's scraping mine, and

5:17

you can see that it's actually scraped

5:19

the full transcript of all of my videos.

5:21

And that's thanks to my favorite skill,

5:23

which is my scrape creator skill, which

5:24

is awesome. So, earlier I showed you

5:26

that you could connect like Slack or

5:29

Linear or email just by conversating

5:32

with your agent, but you can also do

5:33

that by clicking on this plugins tab.

5:35

And so here we can see all of these

5:38

different plugins that you can add

5:39

directly into your GrokBot agents. And

5:42

there's so many plugins here, and it's

5:44

very similar to Codex and Cloud Code.

5:47

Here you can see that there's like a

5:49

Remotion plugin. We could also, let's

5:52

see, like if I wanted to do trading or

5:54

crypto stuff, you can add like Revolut.

5:57

Um obviously I've already added Vercel,

5:59

so this allows me to host any app that I

6:01

create or I think I could do Cloudflare

6:04

as well. And just like the original

6:06

Codex, there's kind of this distinction

6:08

between skills and plugins. So, all of

6:11

the plugins that you add here, you can

6:13

at message them. So, I just added this

6:16

Revel plugin um and I do see that

6:18

there's an error on this one, but like I

6:20

could add mention Gmail

6:23

and I could get it to control my email

6:27

just like that. But if you add a skill,

6:29

it's actually this slash button just

6:32

like Codex. And I could say something

6:34

like, this is how I get to my scrape

6:37

creators skill, which allows me to

6:39

scrape from any social media. Okay, so I

6:40

think it's important to mention that

6:43

every single agent has its own

6:46

description. And you can think of the

6:49

description at like the name, the title,

6:51

and the description. All of this is kind

6:54

of like your custom agent prompt. You

6:56

can add give it its own like personality

6:59

and basically whatever you put here,

7:01

this agent will read every time it runs.

7:04

So that when this agent runs, it kind of

7:06

does and acts like whatever you put here

7:08

in the description. And so that's why

7:10

these are kind of different. The content

7:12

agent has its own description which

7:14

describes why it's more like a content

7:16

agent. And then my developer agent is

7:18

like, you build apps.

7:20

And that is what makes these different.

7:24

Now, it's important to realize what all

7:26

of these agents have in common.

7:29

All of these agents share the same

7:31

plugins. When you add a plugin to one of

7:33

your agents here, all of your agents get

7:37

those plugins. The same exact thing

7:39

happens with skills. When you add a

7:42

skill to one of your agents,

7:44

uh all of your agents will get that same

7:47

skill. It's stored in the same place.

7:49

However, you could put in the

7:51

description of your developer agent that

7:53

you commonly use these skills, you use

7:56

these skills in a certain way. That's

7:58

kind of what separates them. But at the

8:00

end of the day, they all share the same

8:02

plugins and skills.

8:04

Okay, so we've talked about plugins and

8:06

we also talked about skills. Now, I want

8:08

to talk about the computer that comes

8:11

with every agent. This right here is a

8:13

full-on computer running in the cloud.

8:17

And you'll notice here, we can click

8:18

open, and then we can just kind of

8:20

control it like you we would a computer,

8:22

right? We can open up Chrome here, and I

8:26

can literally control this, you know,

8:28

like it's a computer. And so we can go

8:30

to espn.com. It has internet access. We

8:33

are remotely controlling a computer.

8:36

But me using this computer, that's not

8:39

super high definition, is not the main

8:41

point of this. The point is that this is

8:43

a computer for your agent to use. For

8:45

instance, we're in our developer agent,

8:48

please build a cool landing page for

8:52

Grokbot,

8:54

the app I'm controlling now. Make a

8:59

prototype

9:01

and run it in your computer. And so what

9:05

I'm going to do is I'm going to take a

9:06

screenshot, so I can just take a

9:08

screenshot of the screen here, can copy

9:11

this, and I can just paste it in. Make

9:13

it look like this. And so I can just

9:16

fire in this prompt, and the developer

9:19

agent, right? Mind you, this developer

9:21

agent is the agent that builds apps, and

9:24

it has full control over this computer.

9:26

So it can build the app and then run it

9:28

on this cloud computer. And keep in mind

9:31

that if we go to the iOS app, and

9:34

remember, we can go to the home screen,

9:36

we can open up GrokBot, and here we can

9:39

see that the developer agent is working

9:40

on it. And if I click on the computer, I

9:44

can actually see and fully control the

9:46

computer from my phone as well, which is

9:49

pretty mind-blowing. Look at this. It

9:50

even screenshots it as it gets created.

9:53

So, look at this. It says GrokBot

9:55

landing page is live on my computer at

9:58

3001.

10:00

And so, it took a screenshot of it, but

10:02

I can actually just open up the computer

10:04

here. And if I go into the browser and

10:06

we open up localhost 3001,

10:09

here it is running locally on this cloud

10:12

computer.

10:13

And it is a little slow,

10:16

but look, we have GrokBot running on our

10:18

computer, which is pretty cool. Okay, so

10:21

that is the computer feature. Now, let's

10:25

have these agents talk to each other.

10:27

So, this is my developer agent, and what

10:29

I want to do in my my content creator

10:32

agent, uh he's been scraping my um

10:35

content recently. And so, I want to

10:38

build a new app that would be good for

10:40

my audience based on my content. So, I'm

10:42

going to have the developer agent talk

10:44

to the content agent. And remember, I

10:46

can do this directly from my phone as

10:48

well. So, I can go to my developer agent

10:50

and and I can create a voice message.

10:53

Hey buddy, I need you to talk to the

10:54

content creator agent. I need you to ask

10:56

him about all the transcripts for Riley

10:58

Brown, um that it's pulled, like my

11:00

content on Instagram. And then I want

11:03

you to take the transcripts and discuss

11:04

it a little bit with the content agent

11:06

and come up with an app idea that I

11:08

should make. And then I want you to make

11:10

that uh app. Um make it an iOS app. And

11:14

so, we just fired off this prompt here.

11:16

The the developer agent. And now the

11:18

developer agent's going to think. And

11:20

now it's going to go ping the content

11:22

creator agent. And here it shows

11:25

messaged content agent. I asked the

11:28

content agent for the transcript dump

11:29

themes. I'll come back with an app idea

11:32

once they reply then start the iOS

11:35

build. So my developer agent is talking

11:37

to my content agent and this is just the

11:39

iOS view. Let's go over to the actual

11:42

app here and I can see that they've

11:44

messaged each other and you can actually

11:47

like there's like these like meta

11:49

conversations and so here the content

11:51

agent messaged me and said the developer

11:53

pinged me for a content brief to pick an

11:55

app idea. I sent three apps. So they're

11:57

like messaging me and then also

11:59

messaging each other at the same time.

12:01

So I can click on this right here and I

12:03

can actually just see their full

12:04

conversation.

12:06

So hey Riley asked me developer to work

12:09

with you on this and then I can see the

12:11

content agent

12:13

response here. Thanks. This is exactly

12:15

what I needed and now they're working

12:17

together. They're talking about the

12:19

pitch. They're literally just having a

12:20

conversation with each other which is

12:22

just mind-blowing. And one thing you'll

12:24

notice that well while they're still

12:27

working they're moving. So they're very

12:29

static when they're not moving and

12:31

you'll notice they animate on the side

12:32

panel when they're working even if you

12:35

collapse it which I kind of like this

12:37

collapsed view right here and you can

12:39

kind of hover over them to see who they

12:41

are and you can message it while they're

12:43

working as well. Update

12:45

question mark.

12:46

And here you go. Look, it's building

12:47

this iOS app

12:49

and this is really cool and it's

12:52

literally building this iOS app. This is

12:54

the app that it's creating. Can you run

12:56

this with at Revel? This is like a

13:00

little iOS simulator that lets me run it

13:02

in the web which is pretty cool. Okay,

13:04

so here they've gone through the full

13:07

process and they created this iOS app

13:09

and then it deployed it on this app

13:11

called Revel. And so if I click on this

13:13

link it'll take me to the app running in

13:16

the cloud. So the app is loading up. I

13:19

believe this is an Android app actually.

13:23

It's taking a second.

13:25

And here we go. So we have this app

13:27

called Action Pad, and I can use it

13:32

in the cloud. So, this is an Android app

13:35

that I created on Grokbot, which is

13:38

pretty cool. Okay, so now I want to do

13:40

something that I have not seen so far in

13:43

Claude or Codex or any other major agent

13:47

platform yet, and that is creating

13:49

triggers for automations. So, if you

13:52

come here um in developer, right? You

13:55

can create a routine by saying like,

13:58

"Every morning at 9:00 a.m. I want you

13:59

to message an app idea right here." And

14:02

by talking to the agent, I can create a

14:04

routine. And when the agent creates a

14:06

routine, it'll show up here on the side.

14:08

And remember, by default, this will be

14:10

closed when it's open, and then I click

14:14

on this right here. Here is morning app

14:16

idea. The agent just created it and

14:19

added it right [clears throat] here. And

14:21

this is like a time-based routine or

14:24

automation. But you can actually create

14:26

an automation on a trigger. And you can

14:29

do this by pressing this plus sign right

14:31

here, and you can see when to run uh and

14:33

we can add a trigger. So, let's say we

14:36

wanted an agent to run

14:39

uh every time that there was a Slack

14:41

message in a certain channel. So, we can

14:43

go to Slack. Let's go to Slack, and um

14:47

let's go into the short-form channel.

14:49

So, short-form-videos.

14:51

All you have to do is type in short-form

14:54

-videos any text, and I can add

14:58

instructions. I can say, "Please

15:00

summarize uh message sent here. This is

15:05

an important channel. Any

15:09

links should be included as well." So, I

15:13

just want to show you that you can

15:15

create, and so we can say um short-form

15:18

monitor. And I could ask the agent to

15:20

set this up for me. I'm just doing it

15:22

like this, and now we've created this

15:25

right here. So, now we have short-form

15:27

monitor.

15:28

And so, now if I were to go into Slack,

15:31

and I would say, "Hey, I have an idea

15:35

for a short-form video about Grok Bot."

15:41

And this should automatically trigger

15:43

this agent. So, I'll wait here until it

15:45

starts working. And you'll notice here,

15:47

it is starting to load, and the agent is

15:51

moving around, which means it's doing

15:52

something. So, you can tell which

15:55

routine is working because of this like

15:57

little spinny circle, and it should get

15:59

back to me with my latest response about

16:02

the short-form monitor post in the

16:04

short-form channel in Slack. And there

16:06

you go. It said, "Short-form videos, you

16:08

posted idea for short-form about Grok

16:11

Bot." And then here it has some like

16:13

recent messages that I posted in the

16:14

channel. But the point I'm trying to

16:16

make here is yes, you can create

16:18

automations at specific times, but you

16:20

can also set triggers. And I do notice

16:23

that there isn't a ton of triggers. The

16:25

trigger apps that you can use is a Slack

16:27

message, a Git event, a Teams message, a

16:30

Linear issue, a Sentry alert, and a

16:33

PagerDuty incident. I think that they're

16:35

going to add more. I think that they're

16:37

going to add emails and many more in the

16:39

near future. And so, this is kind of

16:42

like Zapier. You can set any trigger.

16:44

When something happens, an agent will

16:45

take care of it. So, we've covered a lot

16:47

today. You can create agents. They can

16:49

communicate with each other. You have

16:51

your chats. You have a computer where

16:53

each agent has You have routines that

16:56

you can set up. You can add plugins and

16:57

skills. This seems to be their super

17:01

app. So, their AI agent platform, and

17:05

and it's for knowledge work. However,

17:07

there are some things that they don't

17:09

have yet that I do believe that they're

17:11

going to have in the near future, and I

17:12

want to go over those right now. One

17:14

thing that you cannot do with Grok Bot

17:17

is you can't add this developer bot or

17:19

any of these bots into Slack and message

17:22

it like a bot. However, I guarantee you

17:25

they're going to add it very soon,

17:26

because if you go to Slack right here,

17:28

you can actually add cursor as a bot to

17:31

your channel, and it's really good. Like

17:32

you can just message the cursor bot. It

17:34

has this like little animation, and I

17:36

guarantee you you're going to be able to

17:38

do this with Grokbot, because remember,

17:40

this is the next cursor app that they

17:42

released. They're just calling it

17:44

Grokbot, because SpaceX bought it for

17:45

$60 billion. One other thing, if you

17:48

press command K, it opens up this like

17:51

little menu thing,

17:52

and you can go through all your agents

17:54

here, and you can very easily find like

17:56

settings.

17:57

Um I could type in my content agent and

18:00

very easily switch. Um and then we see

18:03

all the messages. I can search through

18:04

all the different messages, all the

18:06

agents. I can filter through groups, and

18:09

then there's also files. These don't

18:12

work yet. So, if you ask your agent to

18:14

create files, I haven't gotten it to be

18:16

able to show up here yet, and so I think

18:19

they're going to add that in the very

18:20

near future. Um and here we have

18:22

routines. You can see all of your

18:24

routines, and here you can see all of

18:27

the links that were shared between

18:29

agents, or that that the agents shared

18:31

in the chat. So, I can open up all of

18:33

the recent links. So, this is a pretty

18:35

cool way to navigate. But maybe the

18:37

coolest feature of all that's coming

18:39

very soon is groups. And so, you could

18:42

see here, you can actually create a

18:44

group chat

18:45

with multiple agents. I can tell they're

18:47

about to add it. They left a bunch of

18:50

clues. If you ask any of the Grokbot

18:52

agents, if you say, "Are you able to

18:54

create group chats in Grokbot?" It says,

18:56

"I can talk in a group chat if I'm

18:58

already a member, and I can spin up new

19:00

group chat, or I can spin up new agents,

19:02

but I don't have a way to create a new

19:04

Grok

19:05

uh Grokbot group myself." But like they

19:07

literally added this group tab, so we're

19:09

going going able to create group chats

19:11

with these different agents. Now, I have

19:13

no idea how useful that's going to be,

19:16

but it sounds really fun. And this app

19:19

kind of reminds me of like a cloud buzz.

19:22

For those of you who saw the buzz video

19:24

created by Jack Dorsey, he created a new

19:26

Slack competitor/open-source

19:29

version of Slack where you can add all

19:32

of your own agents. This is kind of like

19:34

an easier app to use, except all of it

19:37

is done in the cloud and each of these

19:39

agents come with this little cloud

19:41

computer and it feels like a new way to

19:43

kind of collaborate with a bunch of

19:45

different agents and I think it's going

19:47

to get way cooler when they add more

19:49

agents. I'll make a lot more videos on

19:51

this tool very soon because I know that

19:53

they're going to add a ton of new

19:55

features. And thank you guys so much for

19:56

watching. Please hit subscribe. Please

19:58

hit like. I would love you forever.

19:59

Anyway, I'll see you guys later. Peace.

Interactive Summary

Grokbot, a new agent platform by Cursor, allows users to create a team of AI agents that can interact with each other and external tools. It includes mobile and desktop versions that stay in sync, individual cloud-based computers for each agent to run tasks like app building, and automation capabilities via routines and triggers similar to Zapier.
