Hey everyone, I think Grockbot is the

future of personal agents and I'm going

to show you how to build five of my

favorite bots. In this video, we're

gonna build an advisor to create and

manage your other bots. A YouTube

researcher to find out videos in your

interest. An ex Scout to surface the

most insightful and funny tweets from

your timeline. A digital Marie Condo to

clean up your email and find paid

subscriptions to cancel. A personal

concurge to help you get good prices on

travel and vacations. And as a bonus,

we're going to build a gamer to see if

Grockbot can play classic games like

Doom and Red Alert. We'll finish with a

discussion about privacy and whether

Grockbot should be your new AI daily

driver. All right, but first, let me

show you what makes Grockbot different.

A few weeks ago, I tweeted that chat GBT

was one feature away from building the

AI product that I really want, which is

a dedicated personal computer in the

cloud for running AI agents. Lee from

the cursor team DM'd me shortly after to

test Grockbot.

What exactly is a dedicated cloud

computer? You know the meme of people

walking around with their laptop half

open to keep their agents running? You

don't have to do that anymore if you're

using Grockbot. Basically, Grockbot

lives in a computer sitting somewhere in

SpaceX AI servers instead of in your

home. It has its own browser and

operating system that you can use and

logging to your favorite apps. Now,

let's do a quick comparison of Hermes,

Chat GBT, and Grockbot. Hermes I run on

my Mac Mini at home. It's on 24/7 and it

gives it a persistent computer, but you

have to go buy the machine and set

everything up for yourself. You can

technically also run Hermes on a virtual

private server, but that again requires

more setup work. Now, chat GPT work uses

plugins and a cloud browser, but the

problem is that browser at is right now

cannot stay signed in to your favorite

apps. The UX for chat GBD work also

feels scattered across chat work and

codecs. Let's take a quick look here.

It's just kind of like a mess of chat

threads here. There's chat GPT codeex.

There's like another tab up here for

work and chat. And it's just all really

confusing even to someone like me. In

contrast, Scrotbot gives you a

persistent cloud computer right out of

the box. And I think it's the easiest of

the three to set up and get going. and

his interface, as you can see here, also

feel a lot more focused and delightful.

I love the little bots and the

animations that they make when they

start working. Right, let's say look up

the weather. And you can see here that

there's some pretty cool subtle

animations. Each bot has a different

personality and style. And this is the

work of Kurser's great design team,

including Jenny Wen and other folks on

her team that I've interviewed in the

past. Overall, I think this UX feels

more like talking to a coworker than

getting lost in a 100 chat threads. So,

can Grockbot actually replace Chat GBT

and Codeex, which is my current daily

driver? Let's run through some of my

favorite bots right now. So, the first

bot that you should create after you

install Grockbot is an advisor. Here I

have my advisor ped to the very top of

my Grockbot list. With your adviser, you

want to start by telling it about your

work and life and then actually ask it

to give you some ideas for boss to

create. Here's what I told my adviser.

I'm a creator and founder of Behind the

Craft. I have two daughters and I live

in the Bay Area. I publish newsletter

posts and YouTube videos focus on

practical AI tutorials and podcast

interviews. And I also have a membership

portal over here. So based on all this,

suggest five bots that can help me save

me time or money. And for each explain

what it would do in a few sentences. As

you can see here, it created five bot

ideas. A daily AI news scout, YouTube

comment miner, membership concurge,

social media poster, and podcast

prepper. Right now, what many people

don't realize is that you can actually

get one bot, in this case, our advisor

bot, to help us create the rest of our

bots. Here I asked my adviser to build a

single bot that both researches other

channels and mine's comments and let's

call it YouTube researcher. Right? So

now let's go ahead and check out the

YouTube researcher use case. You can see

that the advisor kicked off the YouTube

researcher bot with this instruction to

create a morning brief to send me

YouTube intel every morning. But I want

to give it more specific instructions.

Right? First, I asked it to monitor

specific channels in my niche. And let's

scroll down here. And it's starting to

monitor channels. And here is its first

attempt at a brief. You can see here

that the brief is like just like very

verbose and hard to follow. It's like a

lot of stuff here. It did end up pulling

my YouTube comments and finding themes

there. So, that's great. But, this is

just like too much to process, right?

So, I gave it some more instructions. I

told it to give me a report in the

specific format which is first list your

top three content ideas. Then give me

the top five outliers for other channels

and then give me the top performing

overall. Limit your research to the last

14 days because YouTube with AI stuff is

very topical and also add the top common

themes back to the report. And by the

way, this is how you should be working

with AI to refine its output instead of

trying to oneshot something. Now you see

here that the report is much more

concise and easier to follow. Let's take

a quick look. Top three content ideas.

It wants me to make a video on my spec

scale that I plan to do soon. It tells

me to make a video on Grockbot that

we're making right now. And here are the

top outliers from the other channels.

Outlier meaning that it beat that

channel's performance for the last 14

days. Yep, pretty interesting topics

here that we can follow up on. and top

performing overall and also the top

common themes and it did more here and

then I told you to send a full report

again just to make sure it looks good

and now what I can do is basically

there's a daily job that sends me this

report every morning right just this

morning for example it sent me a new

report with the top angles the watch

list and comments and I basically have a

YouTube researcher that proactively

finds interesting topics for me to make

videos on and gives me feedback back

based on my user's comments. Okay, so

this is the process that we're going to

follow for pretty much the rest of the

boss that we're going to make, which is

we're going to kick it off with an

initial prompt. We're going to iterate

back and forth with it to make his

output good, and then we're going to

schedule a routine or job that runs

daily, weekly, or monthly to have it

proactively do work for us. Now, let's

actually see how we can follow the same

process with our X Scoutbot.

So, Grockbot is part of Space X AI,

right? So, it should have firstparty

access to X and Twitter data. And even

though I have an unhealthy addiction to

X, I still miss plenty of great content

or bookmark tweets that I never look at

again. Here's the prompt that I gave my

exbot. Find the most viral ex posts from

the last seven days in my niche and

create a weekly report with the top 10

tweets from people I follow, engaged

with, or bookmarked grouped into a few

categories. Include a full tweet copy

link and your analysis and end with

three content ideas for me to tweet

about. Next, you can see here that it

found my ex account and it automatically

created a routine to do this every

morning. And here is the initial output,

right?

So it found themes around playbooks that

people save not just like from Greg. 23

ways I use AI agents to grow my startup.

Chinese developer from loop to graph

engineering and more tweets from Greg.

Another theme that I found is just about

Grockbot codeex and chat GPT work

compared and actually used right a tweet

from Riley and from Ben who works on the

cursor team on the most loved internal

Grockbot use cases and more. And the

third theme is around creative workflows

that I actually am interested in tasing.

And they ended this report with the

three things to tweet about next. Some

ideas here. And just for fun, I asked

you to also give me the top five

funniest tweets from my timeline. I

think digging through it. And the number

one funniest tweet is as usual, OpenAI

and Anthropic kind of sniping at each

other and kind of joking,

right? And then there's some more funny

tweets down here. all kind of in my AI

knee niche. You can see here that it set

up a routine automatically and it sent

me a new report this morning. Now, let's

actually tell it to do something else.

I'm going to turn on voice here. Can you

send me this report to

peterbehindthecraft.com

and also make sure you include a full

tweet copy in your report. Send to my

email right now. All right. So, let's

see if Ashi is able to send this report

over email because I don't want to have

to open Grockbot each time to see it. I

want it just in my inbox every morning.

Awesome. Here's a report from Grothbot.

You can see here that it has this

themes. It's included the full tweet

copy. You can scroll down here and yeah,

I I think this looks pretty good, right?

And then it has down here, I'm sure, the

top three things to tweet about next.

Again, the process here is to give

Grockbot initial prompt, have it pull up

the information, iterate with it to get

the output and the report right, and

then either tell it to send you a daily

job through Grockbot itself or through

your email. In this case, I prefer email

because I like to wake up with the top

tweets to consume directly in my inbox

instead of having to open a separate

app. And by the way, it's able to send

me an email because I connected to a

bunch of plugins, including the Gmail

plug-in. Now, let's move on to a fun bot

that I call Marie Condo that cleans up

your digital clutter. There are three

places where clutter piles up, right?

Your email, Google Drive, and your pay

subscriptions. Now, I've connected both

Gmail and Drive in plugins to Grubbot.

And then I gave it this prompt. Audit my

Gmail, Google Drive, and recurring email

receipts and create a cleanup plan. Find

newsletters I already open. Find large

or abandoned drive files. Try to

identify pay subscriptions from email

receipts. And also you can hook up

Mercury MCP to get this data. Mercury is

the bank that I use for my business. And

then group everything into these

different categories. Use a number list.

And crucially, I told it to not move,

delete, or unsubscribe or cancel

anything without my approval. Right? The

last line is really important for a bot

that cleans up your files. You always

want to review what it plans to delete

before letting it remove anything. And

you can see here that first Grockbot

confirmed that it's connected to Google

Drive and Gmail. And then it actually

connected to Mercury MCP. I had to sign

in on the remote cloud computer to make

this work. And then it gave me this

initial report. This is a massive list

of stuff to clean up in my email

subscriptions to review and other things

that it should not touch. Right?

Honestly, this list is like pretty

overwhelming. It's incredibly long. And

I gave it some feedback of like, hey,

list it properly, categorize it

properly. It's still an incredibly long

list. Right? Again, this stuff is not

going to get it right in one shot. And

eventually I told it to just show me max

10 items in each list and get rid of all

the random labels that it has. So now

this is much more digestible. It has a

bunch of emails here, Google Drive and

pay subscriptions. And I gave it one

final piece of feedback to only show me

emails to unsubscribe to, Google Drive

files to delete and pay subscriptions

that I want to cancel. And then here's

the update list that I came up with. Now

it has this list as a number list and my

feedback is to actually get it to take

action which is email unsubscribe to

three and four 5 6 7 and 8 Google Drive

delete the extra tax return delete some

of these large files and pay

subscriptions cancel 11 and 15 right and

just as a general tip it's always good

to ask Grothbot or AI to give you its

response in a number list like this to

make it super easy for you to just tell

it to do things by just referring to the

number in the list instead of have to

type everything over again. I use this

pattern all the time. All right, so now

Crockbot is actually taking action,

right? This is where the magic happens.

You can see here is already unsubscribed

to a bunch of senders. It's trashed

three Google Drive files that we asked

it to and now it's cancelling Lovable

and Equipped Foods, which is a protein

company. Now to cancel lovable I first

have to sign to the cloud computer with

my lovable credentials which I did

manually and we found out that actually

lovable is already scheduled to be

cancelled. So lovable is done. Then it

asked me to sign to equip foods and I

did that and then it cancelled uh the

protein subscription for me. By the way,

Equip Foods is a great protein company.

I'm only canceling because I have too

many protein powders at home already.

Uh so it basically did all this work,

right? trashed a bunch of stuff. It's

unsubscribed to a bunch of emails and

it's canceled a bunch of subscriptions

to save me money. And you can see that

it did all this in around five minutes

when it would have taken me probably 30

minutes to an hour to do all this

manually. Marie Condo is very very

useful. Of course, and there's something

missing with this bot. I think we should

ask it to can you talk like Marie Condo

from now on? Give me an example because

right now it sounds too much like a

robot and not so much like Marie Condo

and let's see what it comes up with. All

right. So now uh Marie Condo is actually

going to talk like Marie Condo. You can

see Hermis and the singing have

completed their work. We thank them and

place them in the trash where they may

rest. Equip foods no longer sparks joy

and release prime protein subscription

with gratitude. [laughter]

Yeah. So now we can set up Marie Condo

to maybe talk to us every week or every

month to clean up our digital files and

spark joy, right? So this is definitely

a a bot that I recommend you setting up.

Just remember to ask it to give it

output in a number list instead of just

doing the cleanup for you so that you

can review it first, right? You don't

want it to accidentally delete some

important file. Now let's cover the

personal concurge bot. This is a bot

that I want to use for all my vacation

and travel plans. It has access to my

vacation document where I've listed my

December trip to Japan. Here's a quick

preview of the document. It has the full

iterity for Japan that I created with AI

as well. Let's go back to Grockbot. And

what I want Grockbot to do is I haven't

quite booked my flights to Japan yet.

So, I wanted to monitor for price

changes and alert me on what routes are

the best deal. Here's a prompt that I

give it. Read my vacation document and

monitor the exact flight legs for my

family trip. Get the dates, the best

options for each flight leg. Check

regularly and let me know when the price

improves. You see here that I found my

flight legs and is using Google flights

to check the prices. Now, you may be

wondering what's the advantage of using

Grockbot for this instead of just

setting up Google flight price alerts.

And the value here is that Grockbot can

understand my whole trip based on my

document and decide what's a better

option for my family. If you scroll down

here, the big finding is that a Tokyo

round trip is about $2,700 cheaper than

the open jaw flights that my dog

prefers. Right? My dog prefers it to fly

from SFO to Tokyo and then from Tokyo to

Fukoka, which we're going to, and then

from Fukuoka back to SFO. But actually,

Grockbot found a better itinerary. It's

about $2,700 cheaper to just fly round

trip to Tokyo instead of doing this

itinerary that I laid out, right? A

simple Google price alert would not have

found this. And now I ask it to check

every morning at 9:00 a.m. to see if the

price improves. And you can see here

that the price is still around the same.

The Tokyo round trip is still much

cheaper. Eventually, I can ask Rockbot

to also just go ahead and book the

flight for me or check into the flight

when the time comes.

And generally speaking, I think it's

always a good idea to have a travel

thread or travel bot to both help you

plan travel ahead of time and also when

you're at a location to help you book

amusement parks, to help you figure out

what to do every single day. So, I

imagine I'm going to be using this

personal travel concurge a lot. All

right, let's test one more use case with

Grockbot. Because Grockbot gives me a

dedicated cloud computer, I thought it

would be fun to ask it to install and

let me play some retro games. I asked it

to install Red Alert, Doom, and

Commander King. And you can see here

that it found the files and installed

it. So, why don't we just ask it now?

Let's say open Doom for us to play. And

let's see how things work out. All

right, looks like Doom is up. Let's open

it in our virtual cloud computer. And

here it is. And here we can start a new

game. Let's pick this episode.

And yeah, let's say Hurt Me Plant Penty.

Here's Doom. And here's kind of where

Grockbot falls apart a little bit.

Unfortunately, because it's on a virtual

cloud computer, the mouse isn't quite

configured right to actually play Doom.

For some reason, it's looking at the

floor all the time, and I can't seem to

adjust the mouse to actually look up.

All right. So, Doom doesn't quite work

here right now.

Now, let's actually try playing some

other game. Let's try asking to play

Commander King. I'm not sure if you guys

know this, but Commander King is an

awesome platform game that I played in

my youth. And now it's loading Commander

King. So, let's see what it comes up

with. Awesome. This is Commander King.

Let's see if it plays well or not. Let's

start a new game. One player normal

difficulty. And here we go. Here we go.

It's a very basic platformer, but I

remember really enjoy it in my youth.

How do I jump? I forgot how to jump. Oh,

so control is jump. And yeah, it plays

better than Doom for sure, but there is

some lag in the keyboard and mouse that

makes it difficult to actually control

the character. Okay, so um yeah, that's

just for fun. But basically, Grockbot is

not replacing your gaming PC or GeForce

now yet. But the fact that the agent can

install and launch these games on its

own computer gives you a sense of how

open-ended this could become and how

much potential there is here. Right? So

maybe Space X AI can use all the data

centers and GPUs in space to actually

deliver AAA games through this virtual

cloud computer. That would be a dream,

right? And while we're at it, I open

this file manager here. And here's all

the stuff that we installed into our

virtual cloud computer. It kind of looks

like Windows 3.1 a little bit. I'm not

sure what kind of thing it is. There's

Japan flights. There's other stuff here,

right? And then there's games that we've

installed. And also we have Chrome and a

terminal. So that's kind of our virtual

cloud computer. All right. Now,

All right. Now before we wrap, I want to

talk about probably the biggest hurdle

for Grobbox adoption, which is trust.

When I see a Google sign screen like

this on my laptop, I don't really think

twice before signing in. But because

this appeared on the virtual cloud

computer, I hesitated a bit because how

do I know that nobody else is seeing

this screen on the virtual cloud

computer? Now, if you go to the Grogbot

website, if you scroll all the way down

here, there is a note about privacy

here, which is how does Grockbot handle

my privacy? Grabbot uses the same cursor

SSO off and privacy mode you already

trust. Your cloud computers encrypted in

transit and at rest and there's no AI

training on top of it. Right? So, you

know, I'm willing to give Grockbot and

the virtual cloud computer access to all

this stuff because I'm an early AI

adopter, but I can see normal people

struggling to understand what this cloud

computer thing even is and kind of

hesitate to sign into their favorite

apps on this device. So, I think the AI

Asian platform that figures out trust

will be the first to get mass adoption.

But overall, I think Grockbot is a clear

sign of the future. We're moving away

from manually using our keyboard and

mouse to do work on our laptops to using

our voice to orchestrate a bunch of

agents that live in a dedicated cloud

computer. And Grockbot is the first

product to actually enable this. Now,

it's not quite my daily driver yet

because I think Chat GPT still offers

more for $20 a month while Grockbot

requires paying $200 a month to use on a

regular basis. But I think Grockbot has

much cleaner UI than chat right now and

is also very very capable. And overall,

it's just great to be in a world where

cursor and SpaceX AI are just as viable

a competitor as OpenAI and Anthropic. I

think cursor may even have the edge if

it can continue to support multiple

models from all providers.

So, Grockbot is available for free and I

definitely recommend downloading and

trying it to see a glimpse of the

future. I'll include some of the prompts

from this video in the pin comment

below. And I also have an exclusive

interview with the Cursor team on how

they built Grockbot coming up in the

next few weeks. Overall, I'm really

impressed by Grockbot. I think the team

really cooked here and I can't wait to

hear the story behind how they built

this. So, please like and subscribe if

you enjoy this video and I'll see you

next time.
