huge updates in the world of AI agents.

OpenAI just released a brand new update

where you can fully control your IME

messages inside codecs and chat GBT. And

I'll show you exactly how to set this up

and how to use AI to control your iMes.

But we have way more to talk about today

as well, like the latest Grockbot

updates and their rising popularity. We

also need to compare the different super

app platforms like Grockbot, Co-work,

and GBT Work. And we also need to talk

about how Enthropic is merging Claude

Design and Claude Code. Also, how

Enthropic just released Co-work on their

iOS app along with a course to learn all

of the different tools. And then

finally, we need to talk about the brand

new Slack code which was released

yesterday which allows you to add codecs

and quad directly into Slack. This is

Agent Native. I'm Riley Brown. I do

these updates every week.

So, for the first agent update this

week, we have a brand new feature inside

Codeex that was just released a few

hours ago. If I type at messages, you

can see this looks like Apple messages.

Please can you send Emily a message

saying, "Hi, did you get the groceries?"

And here it says,"I'm using the messages

texting workflow to find Emily and send

the exact text and verify the result."

And look at this. It has this little

approval thing. Send this to Emily

Lambert. Hi, did you get the groceries?

And it has a dash codeex. I can remove

that. And I can edit the message and I

can hit continue. And there you go. It's

sent to Emily. Let's see if it's sent. I

can pull in my phone. And you can see

here it sent, "Hi, did you get the

groceries?" Send another one which says,

"I'm really

hungry." So, I'm just showing you how

this works. We're going to do a much

more practical use case for businesses

in just a second. It does require for

you to have the ask approval on. It

won't just send without asking for

approval. But here we go. We can hit

continue.

And as you can see, it popped up here in

the iMessage here. I was using it inside

codecs, which I use for most things when

I'm using the chat GBT desktop app. But

we can always switch to chat GBT mode.

And then if we create a new chat, we can

select work. And then I could say

something, can you please look through

my conversation with an Vashall? We have

a group message together. And I want you

to analyze it deeply. basically all of

the things that we've talked about and I

want you to make one suggestion to me in

general on how I can improve my

communication style and my ability to

work with others as a team. Then I want

you to suggest one message uh to them uh

based on that and the next thing that I

should say to them. And so you can have

AI if you have a super long group

message maybe it's with your team is you

can have AI fully analyze all of those

conversations. It doesn't matter how

long they've gone on for. And notice

here that I didn't atmention messages.

So I can just go at mention messages and

make sure that it gets it. And you can

see here it found the exact group

thread. I mean look at this. It says the

thread is substantial. 3,251

messages across two versions of this

group from May 14th through today. Okay.

So it just analyzed 3,251

messages. And this is pretty insane. And

it's probably true. It says, "Your

strongest communication trait is your

ability to create energy and and quickly

turn messy ideas into sharp positioning.

You're also generous with encouragement,

willing to help, emotionally honest and

capable, blah blah blah blah blah. The

one thing I would change is make it

unmistakable whether you are

brainstorming, asking for input, or

making a decision. You often communicate

all three with the same intensity." A

passing idea arrives as we need to do

this ASAP. And I can't really show all

of this, but this is a really good way

of like analyzing how you act in a

group. And I find this to be a pretty

pretty brutal yet useful practice to do

with AI with this new messaging feature

that was just added to codeex. And then

it gave this little feedback right here.

I'm going to say, "Okay, send it." And

then we can fully approve it. And now

it's sent. And as you can see here, it's

sent on my actual iMessage. And I even

sent them a screenshot of this feedback

and they're like, "Damn, useful." And uh

there's the message from Kodak. If you

want an agent actually working for you,

then this free AI agents cheat sheet

from HubSpot breaks down everything you

need. It breaks down seven tools,

including Claude Code, Chad GBT, agent

mode, Zapier, and N8N. For each one, you

get what it's best at, how long setup

takes, what it costs, when to use it,

and when to skip it. And they include

copy and paste starter prompts for real

workflows, competitor research,

organizing files, routing leads, and my

favorite is the Manis prompt. You drop

in a video link and it watches it and

writes your full YouTube description

with timestamps. That one alone is worth

the download. So, if you want a simple

starting point, grab HubSpot's free AI

agent cheat sheet. And thanks to HubSpot

for sponsoring this video. So, the next

update that I want to discuss is the

rise in popularity of Grockbot, which is

Cursor's super app. And remember, SpaceX

acquired Cursor. So, it's actually

SpaceX's

super app. And many people are saying

that they think bot is another claude

code moment for AI. I think it's a

little too early to say that. Um,

Bridgemine said, "I've replaced all of

my Hermes agents with Grockbot. Grockbot

comes out of the box with its own remote

computer, which makes the setup way

easier and it also removes the need to

purchase any other Mac minis." Uh, Lenny

said he got early access to Grockbot and

he's hooked. Preston said Grockbot is

proof that certain ideas haven't really

been tried until they're executed

perfectly. And then we also have news

from someone at SpaceX who said the

following. And I want you to keep in

mind, in my opinion, the thing holding

Grockbot back straight up is the model.

The user interface of Grockbot is the

best in the world. In my opinion, I

think how easy it is to set up the iOS

app is best in the world. I will say

Grock 4.6 is just not that great of a

model. It's not good at writing. It's

not really good at any knowledge work

tasks. If you ask it to create a

document, it doesn't do that good of a

job compared to GPT 5.6 soul or even the

anthropic fable models. It's just not

quite there in terms of knowledge work.

However, now from SpaceX said Grock 4.7

will be better at writing in bot uh

which is Grockbot and in general. I'm

very excited for that. For now, my tip

is to feed your Grockbot examples of

your previous handwritten content. It

will learn over time and adjust to your

style. Grockbot remembers and will get

better with usage, which is encouraging.

So, Grock 4.7 apparently is coming out

in about two to three weeks, and I heard

it's going to be better. I do think this

platform, if it had a model as good as

5.6 Soul, I genuinely believe it would

be like my favorite tool to use for all

agent work. And so, I want to take some

time real quick and talk about the

differences between these different

platforms and where I think each one has

an edge. And I think first of all this

is about my usage in terms of how much I

use each platform and that is Grockbot

codeex chatgbt and then claude you know

whether it's their iOS app or their

desktop app. This ends up being the

amount I use each one. And so the first

thing that I'm going to do is I'm going

to say that the ease of use is one by

Grockbot. There's something incredibly

easy to understand about you have your

little bots. You can create a new bot or

I can just immediately go to my

sponsorship bot or my content bot and I

can just say please check the videos and

Slack and this is videos in at notion um

and Slack please tell me what I need to

do next. And there's something really

nice about having a little bot for a

specific task. Right? this to-do list

bot. All of this does is it literally

just tells me exactly what I need to do

and it just like reminds me every day of

all the things that I need to do. And

then on top of this, their iOS app was

just incredibly easy to set up and it

automatically connects with the desktop

app as well. Like you don't need to set

up any remote, which I thought was

interesting. And then the final thing

that they did to make this really easy

to understand is that each agent has

their own uh routines. For instance, on

the iOS app, we can very easily just go

to the content agent. If we click on the

content agent, we can see the routines

that this agent has. And if you compare

this with the chat GBT app, it's hard to

tell like where you go if you want to do

a work task. Do you go to codeex? Um,

what's the difference between chat GBT

and work? I genuinely believe that a lot

of people are confused about this, which

is why I made an hourong video because

GPT work is incredibly powerful. It has

a really good in-app browser that I

really like that Grockbot does not have.

It's just a little bit more confusing

than Grockbot, which is a standalone

product that is pretty easy to

understand. And so, when it comes to

ease of use, definitely Grockbot gets

the point. When it comes to the inapp

browser, no one comes close to Codeex. I

still think it's the most underrated

part of using the desktop app is that it

has a built-in browser. And the agent

when you ask it to go to a website or

create any document on notion, it opens

it up in this side browser. And so

honestly, I think the dream user

interface for a super app would be like

agents on the left, just like Grockbot

right here, except it could open up a

browser on the right. I think that would

be absolutely amazing. And then when it

comes to the models, I personally

believe that unless you are a massive

company with a huge budget to spend on

Fable, I think ChatGpt has the slight

edge in the model because GPT 5.6 Soul

is much better than Opus Claude Opus 5,

which I actually don't really think is

that good. So, if you can afford uh

Claude, then the model is best with

Claude. But for I would say that on

average, it's probably a tossup. I will

say this is the biggest downfall. We're

gonna give them a big giant red circle

here. Grockbot. Um, Grockbot gets a

giant red circle because this is a

negative three points. Their model is

nowhere close to ChatgBT and Claude's

best models. And that is one of the

reasons why I use Grockbot less than

ChatGBT codecs. Um, their models just

not quite as good. And I will say uh in

terms of anthropic the next point that

I'll give them is knowledge work and

docs. So these are things like

spreadsheets. So for spreadsheets and

then also like um presentations

and then this also includes like

front-end design

like anthropics models are just better

and that gives them a huge edge. I just

think they have a clear edge here. Um,

in terms of iOS app, it depends on what

you want. If you want the simplest iOS

app, I would go with Grockbot. It's

incredibly easy to set up. It's just

like a little team of agents. So, I'll

give them a half point. But if you

wanted the most powerful, um, I would

say the Chat GBT app with the Codeex

remote. The fact that you can connect to

Codeex remotely and you can also use

real time voice. I think that's what

gives them the dub here is the fact that

this app has real-time voice and it's

really good. And I'm not talking about

the normal real-time voice here on the

chat GPT app. So, if you navigate to

chat GBT, they have a real-time voice

version here, which is pretty good. And

you can connect it. It connects to your

integrations and plugins and stuff,

which is awesome. But what I'm talking

about is in the remote section, the

real- time voice.

This version of real-time voice can

actually spin up codec sections. Isn't

that uh sessions? Isn't that right,

codecs?

>> I'm chat GPT and yeah, I can help with

that kind of work talking through.

>> So, you could spin like if I asked you

to spin up if I asked you to spin up a

codeex chat right now that uh builds a

landing page which compares Grockbot

Chat GPT and Claude, you could do that

right now. Oh, can you please do that?

>> Sure, let me put that together.

>> And what's really cool is it will just

spin up a new chat. If we were to

navigate to chat GPT, you can see that

this latest voice conversation is

showing up here. Everything that we said

would show up right here. And you can

see here it just created a brand new

codec session right here. and it says

build a polished and responsive onepage

landing page that compares Grockbot,

chat GPT, and clot. So that's really

cool. You can use real-time voice to

spin up codec sessions. And so for that

reason, uh I believe that codeex

probably gets the point here. Um and so

this is kind of the landscape. Grockbot

is winning because it makes agents very

easy to understand and easy to use and

easy to get started whether it's on

desktop or iOS. ChatGBT and Claude are

neck andneck in models, but it's the

worst advantage for uh Grockbot. And

then the iOS app I believe is just the

strongest and the browser is the

strongest with chatgpt. Whenever I

create a notion doc, Google docs,

everything, I just have it open up

directly in the codeex browser and I'm

signed in to everything on the codeex

browser. But the main reason I still use

claude is that it just creates better

knowledgework documents. Period. all of

the types of documents that it creates

are better. Even Opus and Fable,

especially Fable, does an incredible job

at creating like really high quality

PDFs. So, for those reasons, I use

Claude. And so, that's kind of my take

on the landscape of these different

super apps. So, speaking of Enthropic

and Claude, let's move to our next agent

update, which are a series of updates

from Anthropic. So the first update from

enthropic is that directly inside claude

code specifically using it in the

desktop app meaning within the desktop

app on claude. So if I'm running claude

here and I'm using the claude code app,

I can use slashdesign

and this will invoke design mode which

is a separate mode. Right? If you go

home and you click on design mode, this

is a whole separate product for claude

and it's really popular. It has a huge

audience in and of itself and it is

really good. They're they're adding some

of these features from cla directly into

claude code which I think is really

cool. But here's a video.

So you can type in slashdesign

and it says redesign the composer based

on what functions people use most.

[music] And because it's connected to

claude code, you can get it to use

claude code and then it just uses claude

design basically as a skill.

And so Claude will actually draft it

here on the side. And so this isn't

actually adding your app or changing the

code in your app. It'll look at your

app, create a little draft, and then you

can choose which one you want to

implement in your actual app, which is

really cool

and you can fully customize it.

And and that is the most important part.

I made a new artboard with some riffs.

Implement that. So, it allows you to

like type in your design ideas. You can

alter them on in this little like mini

Figma over here when it uses the design

skill. And then it said, "I just made a

new artboard with some riffs. Please

implement that design that we created in

the actual app that you're building."

And so, it just gives you a lot more

control over the design. Huge fan of

this update. And then a few days ago,

Anthropic made Claude Co-work available

on mobile and web for all paid plans.

And so this is Claude Co-work, which is

much more similar to chat GPT work

because it's an agent running in the

cloud. Claude Co-work used to only be

for the desktop app. You couldn't access

the cloud version of Claude Co-work from

your phone and now it's available on

phone and web. And on web, it's

accessible by toggling on this co-work

um tab right here. This is similar to

the OpenAI paradigm where you have chat

and co-work. On the desktop app, it's in

the same exact place. You have chat and

co-work and this is on the home tab. But

on iOS, it's a little bit different. As

you can see here, there's no like chat

and co-work tab like there is on the

chat GBT iOS app. You have to press this

little side panel right here. And you

can see co-work is right here. So, it is

like and then you can create a new task

in co-work and you can work within a

project right here. And this is co-work.

It's kind of confusing. I'm not going to

lie because like how do I even tell that

I'm in co-work right now? And then if I

go to chats, it's just we have chats and

then we have co-work. But when we want

to create a new task, like there's no

co-work tab, it looks the exact same.

And also what's the difference between

claude co-work and a normal claude chat

session? The lines are still pretty

blurry and it's very similar to the

conundrum that OpenAI is in with the

distinction between chat GBT and chat

GBT work. And so it is a little bit

confusing but now you can access cloud

co-work which is basically an agent

running in the cloud. You can ask it to

do much more complex tasks that lasts

for a really long time. And the coolest

part is you can use the best model in

the world which is Fable 5. And then one

final little update for those of you who

like using Claude in the terminal. So if

you run terminal and you can now if you

run claude you can go slashconfig

and then if you go search in the

settings output style

and then you press the right arrow key

you can now choose from different ways

that claude code speaks. So you can have

it be proactive, explanatory, learning,

and this is a new feature that they

added. And yeah, so you can customize

exactly how Claude talks to you. And for

the final update of the day, we have

something that I think is a little bit

slept on despite it getting 2 million

views. Um, in directly inside Slack,

they released Slack code launching today

with agents from Anthropic, GitHub,

Cognition, and Versell. This is an

announcement directly from Slack.

>> If I need help, I can tag in a coding

agent like Claude without having to

leave Slack.

I'll ask it to update our website with

the latest designs. But instead of

having the agent in a regular channel,

Slack does something new. It spins up a

dedicated code channel.

>> This is something we talked about this a

few weeks ago with Buzz, which is a

Slack clone built for AI agents. I said

the one thing I don't like about Slack

is the agents that you use inside Slack,

like with Claude Tag, can't spin up new

channels. Well, now we're starting to

get to that point where the new Slack

code agents can spin up new code

channels, which is really interesting. I

will say this isn't really for general

uh agent use cases yet. This is more for

developers, but I do think it's the

beginning of Slack really allowing

agents to go hard in these channels. And

I think that this is just the beginning

of using AI agents a lot more inside

Slack

>> for this. And that channel has the right

teammates and the right context from our

previous conversations. And that allows

the agent to get to work. This isn't

your traditional coding experience with

one person and one agent working in a

silo on their own. [music] In the code

channel, the whole team and the agent

work together on the build. There's no

specialized tools needed and it's all

right here in Slack.

>> And that's kind of the main value prop

is that coding, especially like vibe

coding or using AI agents to build an

app used to be this solo thing, right?

You would work uh using your your the

code would run locally on your computer.

You would get an AI agent to make

changes to the app. You would test it on

your computer and then you would make a

PR. Now you can actually prompt in a

group setting with Claude and you can

kind of work with other people and other

people can actually see your prompts to

the agent that will then build the app

and it is becoming a more collaborative

process. And I don't think that this is

just going to be for coding. I believe

this is the future of all work with

agents is kind of collaborating with AI

agents and other humans to get work done

at the highest level. And because

talking to AI agents is a skill in and

of itself, it's useful to do it with

other people so other people can be

like, "Hey, you shouldn't prompt it like

that. You should try prompting it like

this." And I just think this is kind of

the next iteration of agent native

companies.

>> That means it develops and the team

steers the agent together. It's a whole

new way to work in a true multiplayer

experience.

>> Multiplayer agents. I think that's kind

of the trend that we're in. I said this

in the last episode. First half of 2026

was about the personal agent and I think

the second half of this year is all

about the transition from personal agent

into creating a team of agents for an

individual and then eventually a

multiplayer experience where you have

many humans interacting with many agents

with a common goal of growing the

business which I think is really

exciting and fun. And there you have it.

This was an agent native update. We

talked about GPT messages. We talked

about Grockbot. We talked about cloud

updates. We compared the major super app

platforms and we talked about a new

super app being implemented into Slack.

We covered a lot today. Thank you guys

so much for watching. I do this every

week. Please subscribe. Please like.

I'll see you here for the next one.
