We just got something seriously new.

Grokbot, if you haven't heard about this

yet, it's a new project from SpaceX AI

from all players. They acquired Cursor

recently and now they built this new bot

that is supposed to be the most consumer

and user-friendly agentic application.

That's at least my take on this.

It's basically like a messages

application, but you're talking to

different agents and they can work

together

and they can connect to a bunch of

things. In short, they're trying to do

what Hermes, Hermes, whatever you want

to call it, or Open Claw have been doing

for the past 6 months with a lot of

technicalities and headaches involved

and now they're trying to bring this to

the consumer, okay? So, I'm going to do

something that I haven't done in a

while, which is a first look video. This

thing came out today. I heard a bunch

about it. I read a bunch about it and

now I'm going to go ahead and try it for

the first time together with you and

compare it to my existing Open Claw

system, which is wild. Like like I have

a hard time recommending Open Claw

because

I keep like

working with it every single day, but it

just keeps, you know, there's these all

these problems, technical problems. Goes

down, restart, model changes, sometimes

it overspends. Anyway, this is

user-friendly and it's amazing. So, look

at that, Grokbot. It's macOS only now.

You can try it out for a week, I think,

on the free account. I just signed up,

so you can see here it's already ready

to go, but I just want to show you the

product first. So, it's this interface

where you can basically interact with

these different agents right here. And I

thought this was surprising

that nobody else has done this before.

That's the surprising part to me

because, hey, if I briefly, and I guess

I'm going to be comparing it to both

Open Claw on one side and ChatGPT on the

other side, but if I look at ChatGPT or

Claude, like it looks a particular kind

of way, right? Like you have the sidebar

and you kind of work in here

and that's that, right? It's not really

that you kind of like mix different

chats and stuff. Whereas if I look at my

open claw setup, usually I use it

through Telegram. I'm just going to pull

it over here for you.

And you can see

that this is in a completely different

form. It's my different agents and kind

of groups live within here. And then I

hand off work between Alfredo 1 to

Alfredo 2. I have Son of Alfredo on a

completely separate machine. I have a

Fredo Alfredo. All of these I can work

in like 10 threads at the same time,

have them collaborate, move contacts

back and forth. It shares a certain

memory, all of it. ChatGPT has none of

that. Like the work product is powerful,

but if I talk in this chat, if it's not

saved to memories, well, it forgets. And

if I want to borrow something from a

chat down here, well, there's no way of

doing that. I need to go in there and

copy paste it and find it.

Whereas in my open claw, I can kind of

just ask and get results. Okay. So,

enough comparison. Let's have a look at

what this can actually do. But I just

wanted to explain to you that it has

this basic interface like Telegram or

Messages or WhatsApp, like any chat

application. And then you have basically

teammates. That's the whole frame that

you're looking at from. So, you can

start with one bot, but then you add

multiple bots, and then you can have

them do things on a schedule,

you know, basic agentic functionality,

but in a package and with a level of

capability that looks so so promising.

Pricing is this, and now, you know,

let's get into it. Um, you know, $200 a

month is basically

the plan. You need Cursor Ultra to get

it. But hey, you know, if you're on a

Mac, you can download it today on an

Apple Silicon machine like I have right

now, or you just follow along with me.

That's why I'm making this video cuz I

figured many people won't be downloading

and trying this.

I really wanted to get my hands on this.

So, let's full screen this and have a

look at what we got. I basically just

logged in. I had to give it my credit

card, but there's a free plan that you

can have for 7 days.

That's what I'm on right now. I logged

in with my Google Workspace account,

which has my calendar and my Gmail, too.

And now I'm setting up my first bot. It

just asked me, "Hey, what kind of icon

do you want and what kind of name do you

want to give it?" And here we are.

That's That's We're just getting

started. So, hey, let's have a look.

Hey, Igor, good to meet you. What um do

you want mostly want me for?

Day-to-day workspace stuff. Okay, so

we're going to

aim at kind of a day-to-day work

assistant. Not coding, not creative

tasks, just hey, take the admin work

from me

reliably. Like not kind of, but like

really like I'm going to be looking at

calendar and email-related tasks here,

okay?

So,

it has a question-based onboarding. I

love that. Which should I connect first?

Uh let's do just um

Gmail and calendar. That's fine. I

logged in with my workspace account. I

wonder if it can use that just like

that, but I see one thing in here, which

is plugins.

Honestly, the minimalism of this thing

is impressive. I really really like

that. I have to say.

So, it's pulling this up now.

Add both. Sure. Like what else do we

have in here? This is basically the chat

on the left. You can add like new bots.

There's plugins. There's my account.

And there we go. Already we have these

two connectors. I'll have to authorize

this. Quick authorization.

Sure.

And then one more.

Authorize this one.

And that's basically the setup process.

I mean, guys, I spent like

2 minutes before recording this video

with like downloading it and entering my

credit card. Here we go. Authorization

complete.

Beautiful. So, now we can get to it,

right? Want to try Gmail now or keep

setting up? Uh what's

I don't know.

What's unread urgent? Let's have a look.

So, this is my, you know, account

that I do use.

So, now I wonder what it's going to find

here. I I hope it's not anything that we

shouldn't be showing. I I don't think

I'm working on anything that shouldn't

even be on this YouTube channel.

But, there we go. It's kind of working.

And in parallel, I want to explore the

interface. So, top right,

we have a little Ooh.

Ooh, it can wants to access my

microphone.

Going to give it permission. So, this is

where we can record. I read about this.

So, you can basically record certain

workflows and teach the bot and then

have it execute those.

Call it routines.

Pretty nice.

Let's see what we got. We got some

emails here. Yeah, beautiful. Some

projects we're working on right now.

Also, noise in the pile, Zoom meetings,

da da da.

All right.

Um

That's a good start. So, it has access

to my Gmail. It has access to my

calendar. Pretty basic stuff.

Now, these routines

picked my curiosity. So, let's try this.

Let's open the bot. And basically, this

is what you need to know. Every bot has

a virtual machine of their own. And this

is the bot's computer, okay? So, you can

think of it as if the bot had a

standalone Mac mini that has, you know,

a Google Chrome browser. I could click,

boom, and I could do things as the bot.

Obviously, if I go somewhere like it

doesn't have an account, right? So, if I

open these apps, you see I'm not signed

in. What what else we got? Uh

file system and a terminal. Okay, so

super bare-bones, but this is the

machine of the bot. So, I could now

minimize this here in the top right. And

then I could say, uh let's try to teach

it a task. So, how about create a

routine?

I'm going to name this a test routine

one. Instructions.

Uh what should it do? Well, how about

create a folder

uh within it uh new text file

that contains information on today's um

S&P

500.

And that's kind of it. When to run on a

schedule. You could Ah, this is really

nice. I love that you can trigger it

with Slack messages, Teams messages.

That's amazing. So, we're just going to

do a schedule. We're going to do

everyday at, let's say, I don't know,

1:00 a.m. Perfect.

Um, just overnight. And let's do a test

run.

Let's see how this behaves.

So, we're assigning this to our bot,

right? So, as I told you, like every bot

has a computer associated with it, what

we saw right there. And right now, we're

using that computer to run this test

routine

that is going to be performing.

Now, this is not super different from

chat, right? Inside of chat, again, I

told you I want to draw these

comparisons. Inside of chat, you have

these schedule tasks, right? Um, so, if

you go in here, you see schedule tasks

here on the right. And if I select

those, you can set up different things.

I'm just creating videos around that

short 3-minute videos on the channel, by

the way, that describe these. But

basically, it's the same idea. But, you

don't really have the access to like a

vert- like it runs on a server by

itself, but it doesn't give you the

ability to,

you know, really use a computer. For

that, you would need to go into the

ChatGPT desktop application, and you

would need to start using Codex, where

you can also record workflows. But all

of a sudden, you have, you know, chat

over here, work over here, and you have

Codex over here. It starts getting a bit

confusing.

And context management and passing

context and memory between all of those

is just

not a thing. I think that's a big thing

for people to realize. Like,

I realize a lot of you will be here,

like, okay, what's the difference

between this and Codex? And, you know,

using Codex or Co-work or or Cloud Code.

Why should I be using this? Well, I

think it's the fact that the memory

management here,

this is meant

to collaborate, right? So, I have my S&P

500 document here. Let's have a quick

look. Click that. There you go. It

closed.

Here, minus 0.3%.

All right, we got the information for

today. That was pretty simple. Um and

now I could go back out. And I see my

first routine that this bot number one

will run. And I think here's kind of the

interesting thing and what I'm really

curious about it. Like how does it

manage the context? How does it work in

between different apps? I think the

answer to that is we shall find out.

Because we will be creating um my second

bot. New bot. Hey, you're good to meet

you. Yeah, nice to meet you, too. Bot

number two. It looks like a little What

do you call them? Onigiri like a little

onigiri? Little onigiri? Yeah, any any

Japanese fan any Japan fans out there

going out into the 7-Elevens eating

onigiris every day for breakfast just

like I was when I spent 3 weeks there

last year?

Okay, that's off topic, but that was

that was the best time. Gosh, I need to

return this spring. What do you mainly

want me around for? Okay, so this guy

hmm is going to be

uh life admin type of guy. Or how about

a

research and writing. I like that.

Research and writing.

So this guy, let's say

let's give him a writing task like write

me a morning report, right?

Now we haven't connected to anything

else yet. I think the one button that is

remains unexplored is well, settings

down here and the plugins. But let's

just say

work docs and briefs. Yes.

And then what I'm curious about is like

how easily can it pull the context from

the other bot without me handing it

over, right? So in other words, this bot

works on this topic and then I set

another five bots to work on other

topics. I kind of cluster it by topics.

And then I want one bot

to look at all these other bots and then

pull it together and get me a daily

brief, right? Like that would be an

amazing thing in terms of context

management if it could just pull from

all of these different chats.

Where do they usually live? Um

I don't know.

In other

Grok

bots. Guys, I can't be vocal enough by

how much I think that this is kind of

an interface that just works because

I've been using it for months. Like,

Open Claw did change my life, but I have

a hard time like teaching it because

like I

it's all I do all day every day. I

interact with the stuff and

there's just so much it's just messy.

It's just messy. Anyway, um this seems

cleaner and I like that. Very hopeful.

How should I work with this other bots?

Um

I don't know. Draft from their notes, I

guess.

All right. So, let's have a look. So,

this is going to be kind of a big moment

for me. I want to see if this works.

When you draft, how should it sound?

Whatever, clear and direct. Now, enough

enough questions now. What has it been

like five?

Mm.

Ask bot one for context. Yes.

But, I'll I'll just say we're good for

now cuz I want to ask manually. Okay, so

sounds good whenever you Okay, okay. So,

um give me a daily brief from all other

bots we have.

From our like from

Give me a daily brief

based on what we did with other bots

today.

Simple.

So, the big test that we've been, you

know, gearing up to for the past 2

minutes.

Can it

do that?

It messaged bot number one. So, it's

This is the first time we're interacting

with him. It messaged bot number one and

now bot number one

See, it's saying here sent one text

file. See See that? So, bot one

responded and now it's fetching the

context from there

because we needed it.

So, this is so powerful. Imagine like

all of your chats talking to each other.

Not that primitive primitive memories

function where it's like, "Oh, I guess

like this random fact about Igor should

be useful in the future." No.

Like literally looking at that. Look at

that. It got It got it. It did it. It

got the emails. It got the SMP. Oh.

Me oh Dio.

This is incredible. Okay. Okay. So So

this is This is big. Look. Let me give

you give it a thumbs up. I like it. It's

just like Telegram. So cool. Um

Okay. And then I guess you could do like

threads within there.

Nice. Where you could like answer to the

thing Okay. Okay. Okay.

So do you see the potential? Do you see

the potential of setting up your

different schedule tasks with the

different bots and then them

communicating together? Like you could

set up research bot.

Like

Mhm. Okay. So let's explore a little

more. I I love this. This is This is a

big milestone for sure.

But let's have a look. So new bot. What

else can we do? We can pin it. Okay.

Easy. We can edit the profile, copy

conversation ID, edit the profile.

That's an interesting one, right? So new

bot, title, description, notifications.

Okay. That's it. That's all we got for

now. So this is in Remember, on their

site they stated that this is um

>> [clears throat]

>> early beta. It's not even beta. It's

early beta, okay? So they're just

getting started here. But look at that.

You have a expense manager with

routines. You have a talent scout

that works on all the talent. Okay. An

inbox manager that manages your inbox.

And then a chief that kind of I would

guess does the morning briefing. Yeah.

He He talks to all the other bots. He

also has a scheduled morning briefing.

Offsite crew.

So it got info from this bot, info from

that bot, and they just work together

like a team.

So this is cool. So this is Honestly,

this doesn't mean you should stop using

Chat GPT. I personally I love Chat GPT

or Claude, both. I'm mostly in Claude,

actually.

But I just I use that day-to-day to

answer questions, do things. But when it

comes to like pushing big work projects

forward, gosh, do I default to something

like Cohere or Open Claw where I can

like manage the context and get longer

tasks done. I create plans, I execute on

them. Oftentimes they have 10-15 phases.

For stuff like that, for for bigger

projects where communication is needed,

it's not just like a one-off thing with

like maybe two free phases.

That you do in chat, that's fine. For

longer-standing stuff, that's where you

want to move to Cohere or Work. Or then

if you're building things, Claude Code

or Codex. And if you're setting up like

a business OS, then I would recommend

like Open Claw or Hermes.

But this is really basically bringing

the capabilities from Open Claw and

Hermes of like this memory management

and memory sharing

to a consumer-friendly level where it's

as simple as chat.

That's what this is.

Now sure, the depth of the features here

is limited, early beta. But just this

ability to set these

I'm a fan. Let's have a look at plugins,

okay? Ooh, we have Granola, that's

amazing. You can put a little pull in

your transcripts. Slack, it could be,

you know, summarizing all the messages

you're getting every day.

I'm going to be playing here and I'm

going to try to recreate some things

that I have in Open Claw.

And it's not just daily briefings like

like in Open Claw I built a lot of

things where it's tools for the team and

workflows and cron jobs that power the

team.

But in here, like

this is I wonder like

you could imagine a future where Okay,

we could we could we'll dream in a

second here, okay? To round out the

video. I just want to check out the

settings here to finish.

Okay, nothing crazy here. Usage and

billing. Ooh, I used my trial 85 Okay.

So I So you see, you can send a few

messages, try it out on a free plan, and

then you need to upgrade to the $200

plan. That makes sense.

Um Grok bought it. I mean, it's

literally running cloud computers to do

this, right? So I get it.

Okay, so to round this out, let's dream

for a second. Where Where could this go?

Well, I think one thing that is so so

clear to me is that this is going to

become an application where you're not

just going to be able to talk to your

own Grok bots, but you're going to have

a Teams account, right? And your

teammates are going to have their bots.

And then if you're working on a project,

and let's say you're working with five

teammates, well, all the Grok bots will

be able to collab. And as you're in a

meeting, the Grok bot will be listening

and like we do this already. We have a

granola meeting note taker in the

meeting. And then I have Alfredo running

over here, and then I can tell it to

like, "Hey, take the transcript." And

then I move it over because it literally

has it open on its screen, and it can

just boom boom bring it over. And I can

work in the meeting with my goddamn foot

pedal that I have down here that allows

me to I talked about that in a recent

video. I just love it so much. Check it

out. If you're If you're If you're

confused by what I'm talking about. I

press the foot pedal, and now I can

dictate, and now it appears.

Um there there it is.

So, you know, I'm in a meeting, and then

with the foot pedal, I just dictate what

I want Alfredo to do, and then it grabs

the context from the live meeting

transcript that's happening. It searches

like I don't have to look for the

context. It looks for my entire context

vault, for my entire memory engine that

I have.

Project memory, but also the Obsidian

file vault that is linked to each other.

If that doesn't mean anything to you,

just

I had to build it pretty manually and

set it up so that different groups have

different pockets of context. And then I

have details on our different products

really specked out. I just like built

this whole intricate context system. And

basically, if I say something, it can go

and access all of it. It's not like chat

where it's like, "Oh, it has I don't

know a dozen memories on you." Or a few

dozen. No, it has like thousands of

pages and all the transcripts from the

past year

in the entire company, and I can just

like direct it, and it can intelligently

find it. It's next-level stuff, but it

takes a lot of maintenance, and it's all

I do, and I have help. Okay?

This

brings that to a consumer. Okay, so

let's let's land this plane and like

kind of summarize what this is really.

It's capabilities that remember beyond

the chat, beyond a certain session

in a consumer product.

It's the ability to spawn, I don't know,

10 bots with their own computers who go

off and do things and do work for you

and collaborate on work for you in an

interface that it is that is as easy as

chat. I would expect collaborating with

other people's rock bots to be really

simple very soon.

I would expect this connecting to more

and more tools and a whole app store of

different preset things that like

there's going to be app store of bots,

right? Now they have plugins, but it's

going to be like, "Hey, if you connect

your Gmail and your calendar and your

Slack, like you can get a daily brief

from this bot that like comes in a

certain form." That's going to be the

most basic one, but then people are

going to discover all the different

things you can do, just like they did

with skills, but instead of skills, it's

going to evolve to a bot that uses

skills and prompts and shares memory and

can run by itself and has this entire

scaffolding around it what you would

call a harness

which goes way beyond chat. Already

ChatGPT work is kind of ChatGPT with

this support, right? It plans, it it

gets all of these other tools to do

things.

This takes it a level further

because it has its own computer.

It can do things on a schedule, which we

already have. It can collaborate with

other bots.

And the usage on this will be huge. I

mean, it's $200 plan is what you got

beyond a few minutes of usage.

So all of that in one package means AI

is going to be working for you and

you're going to be talking to it like

you would to, you know, a bunch of

friends.

And then the next phase is it predicting

what you need and getting a fancy

Jarvis-like interface. All right, I hope

this was helpful. This was the first

look. This is my first impression of

Grok Bot. I really think this interface

works because, well, as I stated, I've

been using this interface and it works.

And I'm just excited about it. Go ahead

and give it a shot if you want, you

know, free plan on Mac OS only, and let

me know what you think in the comments

below. All right, my name is Igor and I

will see you very soon.
