Grok Bot vs OpenClaw and Hermes: Real Business Automation
2500 segments
There actually is an easier way to
automate your entire business and it's
actually with this new thing called
Grokbot.
So Grokbot, if you're wondering, has just
come out and this is what they call like
your AI teammates.
And this is a new thing from the new
Cursor team that has joined together with
the XAI team and they call it Grokbot.
And so what it is is that you can
actually set up a persona and if you've
ever tried using Hermes or OpenClaw or
any
of those types of agents,
I can't tell you like the headache that
I've had to try to get them set up and
I've actually been using
this for the last week or so and it's
just been really fun to get them set up
and get going on my
machine and some of the tasks that I've
been able to give it were to like just
start automating my life.
It operates with these things called
plugins and so this is kind of the part
that I'm really excited
about so if you're a business owner
looking to automate a lot of your
workflows you're just
going to start to absolutely go crazy
with this because this is going to allow
you to connect to
your Gmail, all your different meetings,
your Slack, your Notion. And so once you
give it access to this,
there are two different secrets in here
that are really interesting. So GrockBot
has access to your
computer, but it also has access to its
own computer in the cloud. And so that
computer in the cloud,
you just have to sign into your Gmail
account or whatever accounts you want to
do it online.
And so no matter what agents you spin up,
those agents will have access to it. The
previous thing
is that whenever you set up a new AI
agent, for example, like in Hermes or in
these other places,
every agent you spin up will have to sign
into Chrome again, will have to copy all
these configuration
files. So all of that stuff is pretty
much removed and they've basically made
it
as easy as an interface
as what you would use for iMessage and so
forth. And so what's nice about it is not
only is there a
desktop app, but there's also an app for
your phone. So on your phone itself, you
can actually just launch
the little Grok app and you can start
communicating with it just right there on
the fly. It looks just
like iMessage and for example in my case
I can start giving it these types of
things. This is an extremely
exciting release and it's currently in
beta and you can start using it I think
if
you're signed up for
the Ultraplan. Also it's like you're in
like a Teams account as well so there's a
lot of stuff that's kind
of going on here. I want to quickly show
you something that's really interesting.
I
want to show you the
computer that is currently on the cloud.
So this is my Luma event coordinator. I
am
starting to host and run
a lot of events with Luma. And so what
I've started to do is that I use it now
to
kind of take a look at
the Luma events. I say, out of the guests
that are registered, can you just fill
out
the description
for the events? And so it actually went
through with its own computer and filled
out the registration for
the event. And what's really interesting
about this whole thing too, is that I
also
had it set up some
questions and answers to ask our guests.
And then from there, I said, can you then
give me a breakdown or
give me a page of like what the responses
are from all the different responses that
people replied for
our events. So if you aren't aware, we
have an event that's coming up today at
the Convex headquarters,
and there's about 187 people who have
signed up to go. And there's 32 people
who
want to basically
commit to a lightning round, which they
can actually display and talk about
something that they've been
working on using iOS. And so these are
the responses that these people have
replied back to in the Luma event.
And when you get responses in Luma, it
just gives you a giant spreadsheet. And
so
this is perfect for
something like Grokbot because I just
told it to go through all of the
responses. You're already logged
into my Luma account. Can you just build
me a quick dashboard? So it built me a
quick dashboard.
And because I have it connected to my
Vercel account, that's where the power
gets unlocked.
If you've not heard of Vercel or if
you've not heard of these types of
things,
it's okay. I'm going to go
into some of those in a little bit more
detail in future live streams and future
videos. But what,
if you're thinking about this from a
business owner perspective, kind of step
back a little bit
and think about your experience you've
had maybe with ChatGPT, where you're just
kind of having a
conversation back and forth. Or maybe
you're kind of like texting a friend or
texting another colleague
to get work done. Or maybe you've been
working in Slack and you've had maybe
Clawed Code integrated in
there. This is a little bit of a
different experience because these things
start to kind of take on their
own life in a way that doesn't feel like
it's one AI agent. It kind of feels like
a
teammate or like a
whole staff working for you. I'm just a
single person in working in my business
and it's just kind of
really cool to have these different
personas working together. And so if you
start to think about maybe
changing the shape of your work and then
changing the way that you shape your
problems and hand them
off to different AI agents. It's nice to
just have them all in one place where
they
just kind of land
on your phone, on your desktop, and they
can continue running. So you don't have
to
have your computer open
for all the stuff to keep running. It can
just keep running on the cloud. And so
what I'm saying here is
that these connector pieces, like I was
showing you inside of Grok, well, these
plugins are going to be
the power for how it actually will
connect to your business. So in here, if
you just go to the
little plugins here at the bottom, it
will show you how to connect your
different things. And you can even
make your own plugins and so forth. And
so the plugins that I have and how I was
able to ship this
is because I've connected to a thing
called Vercel. And that's what's just
going to write the software,
write the code really quickly. And that's
already baked into the cursor plan. So
the
cursor plan will
send off the agent to go do that. And
then it says, cool, here's what
everyone's
interested in.
and then I said this is great and so I
ran into a problem in my use case here
because what ends up
happening is that whenever you have all
these people who want to basically do a
lightning round or basically
want to do a presentation I'm probably
going to need a way to actually filter
through that so I just said
just go ahead and make an app so that
when people get there they can just scan
a
QR code and just apply
to to do the thing so I just had it to go
I was like go ahead and just build the
app
so then I just built
the app. I'm using Convex and I'm using
Clerk for authentication. And then boom,
it spins up a
cursor agent and it literally just hands
that task off and it just got merged into
its own thing.
So all I have to do now is just enter the
credentials for myself. So as an
engineer,
it's kind of fun
because now I don't have to spend time
like prompting and following up. All I do
is just kind of basically
get a text message from my agent. And
this is kind of where I'm looking at it
here. And so it has its own
computers, right? So I'm already signed
in. It could do stuff for me on my
behalf.
Not only that,
but I have another agent called a
researcher. So in this new chat, I can
summon my general staff.
I can summon my researcher. I can even
summon my health coach in here. So I can
have a conversation
with all three of them and say, hey, I'm
trying to see if I can do some research
here on like some of
the best, you know, DEXA scans in my
area. So like, or something like that can
help me with like an app or
something that can keep track of this. So
I could just say that like right now. So
I'll say,
hi, I'm working to see if I can, okay,
let me see if I can allow. Okay, cool.
Hello. Can you hear me?
Hello there, darling. Can you hear me? So
I have a problem because I'm currently on
the latest beta.
And so there is an issue right now with
my Core Audio D just completely hammering
my microphone
and Whisperflow and everything is broken
while I was streaming live with Ecamm
Live.
So you can see I just can't even do this.
So what I'm going to do is just going to
type this out real quick and say,
I want you to help me brainstorm a simple
iOS widget that we can build.
So it'll make it easy for me to take
photos and enter my info on what I ate
for
the day.
and that way I don't have to go to a
website to see my happenings. I can
glance
down. I still want the
website. So right now all these three
agents are in one chat right now and
they're basically going to
work on my behalf. So the general staff
has a sense of all of my machines. I have
it connected to my
tail scale network. And so what's cool
about the general staff is that it has
access to all of my
machines locally that are connected. I
have a DGX Spark in my office. I have a
Mac Mini. I have,
you know, my laptop here. And so if it
needs to, it can SSH into those machines
and grab any information.
For example, my OpenClaw is sitting on my
Mac Mini. So it can SSH into that machine
and start to like query
the database and do some cool stuff. And
so I don't have to tell it. I just tell
it
my goals or my outcome.
And then the researcher just has tasks on
how to research and do stuff online. It
could, you know,
any other agent can do that here. And
then Max Recomp has all of my stuff in my
recomposition journey.
So I'm actually on a journey to basically
lose, you know, to get down to 10% body
fat. And so on this
journey, I've been, you know, taking
pictures, sending it my food and doing
all
kinds of great
stuff to get on my way there. And so I
started this out in an open claw and I'm
basically trying to
convert that into a Grokbot. And so the
Grokbot has been basically handling that
for me. And one of the
advantages of Grokbot right now is the
ability to connect to MCP servers. So
that's a big unlock right
now. And what I did there is like, hey,
we can connect to Withings. So in my
plugins, I went to search here
and I just said Withings and it didn't
even have Withings listed. And so the
actual Grokbot found that
there actually is a Withings Health Coach
MCP and they connected it for me. And
then
it used the browser
to log into the Weedings app. And then
from there, that's where I was able to
like authenticate it.
And then now it just pulls in stuff in
for me. So one thing, if you're maybe
working in business right
now and you're trying to figure out,
okay, so now that we have this, how do I
give it tasks so that
I can just kind of have it work by
itself? And it kind of just feels like
it's doing everything for me.
And so the next thing that you want to do
is probably set up a thing called
routines.
So routines are something that you can
set up at a schedule at any time for it
to
wake up and do
something. And that's really, really cool
and extremely powerful. It's especially
powerful if
you example like you have a chief of
staff and you wanted to wake up, check
your emails, do some type of
synthesis and send stuff to you or check
in on certain things at certain times. So
what you can hit here is
you don't have to even do these. You can
just talk to the agent itself and it can
set them up for you
because this is what it did for me. But
if you wanted to manually add them in,
you
can hit on the little sidebar on the
right.
You'll see this little computer sign and
hit the plus. And so this is what it
tells
you as far as what you want to name the
routine,
what it should do, and then when to run.
It can send you Slack messages, set up
stuff in Git, update the linear,
or do any stuff like that, which is super
powerful, right? So in this case, every
morning it's going to check my scale
and see if I've even weighed myself. And
if I haven't, by nine o'clock it's going
to recheck and then send me a message
saying, hey, Ray, you haven't weighed in
yet. Can you just go ahead and check in?
And so this, you can see
every time it's ran and when it's running
here. And then also like by noon, they'll
check it in as well.
Every Sunday I have a recomp review. So
it's going to review everything that I've
been eating.
It's going to review kind of like how
I've been doing for the week as far as
all
my numbers and
everything. So this is all of the
instructions in there. I did not write
these instructions. The agent
did it itself. And so it is actually
itself kind of doing that for me. So this
is like a conversation
that I've been having as far as when I
tell it how much food I've been eating
and
I weigh my food and I
kind of tell it, you know, how to do all
this stuff. And I can't tell you how
powerful this is because
it's really, really fast at chatting back
and forth. So as you can kind of tell
here, here they are, the
agents are all talking to themselves. It
says, I love this. So this is my general
staff. My general staff
agent has already come back and said, you
know, I'll keep the site as a source of
truth.
The widget has a glance and whatever.
And so the researchers now, the technical
constraint worth baking into a
brainstormer's widget kit itself has a
glance only, no camera.
The pattern that stays simple.
So this is kind of the agents now
talking.
And then my Recomps guy says like hey bro
I not a tech bro but I know a lot about
Ray health Let me just chime in here and
kind of fill you guys in on these details
So it says minimum glance is going to be
the day type calories left last meal So
it
actually telling them what the
requirements for the app should be based
off of our long running conversation for
the past week
And it's even telling them what Ray's
even asking for.
So I don't have to be in this
conversation.
I'm just handing it off.
And this is only within just a week's
worth of use within my personal use case
plus business.
So, you know, business is one part of it,
but also my health is just as important
because the health is
actually what fuels the entire business.
And so you can see how powerful this is
just off those short
conversations. And then when you start
putting these types of agents into a
chat.
So what makes this
different is like if you're an engineer
and you've had success setting up
OpenClaw, I've seen so many
people struggle just getting them talking
to each other in Discord. And then when
they're talking to
each other in Discord, they just kind of
go crazy and they like kind of go, you
know, kind of insane if you
know what I mean. This is a much more
refined experience but the other killer
part is the fact
that it's also on the phone. So like I
have this exact conversation on the phone
and I'll show you
right now. So like this is my
conversations and it's right there and so
when I tap it right there I could
just see all the conversation that's been
happening and it just continues on
through. So like that's
crazy convenient because now I don't have
to be tied to my machine. I can just
start, you know,
going, walking around and continuing this
conversation and even building the app
remotely while I,
which is, which is mind blowing. So let
me catch up a little bit. I've been kind
of behind on the chat.
I know this is currently a live stream.
It feels like a like recorded video, but
this has just been
and so like amazing.
And I'm really glad that I was able to
get early access and give feedback to the
team on some of these workflows.
I haven't even talked about some of these
other workflows and I just kind of want
to
get to answer some of your questions and
stuff like that.
So, so yeah, Cursor is cooking my way.
Yeah.
By the way, P-Stack, I'm P-Stacking and
it's in God.
Yeah.
So yesterday, last night, if you haven't
tuned in, there's a thing called Potato,
P-O-T-T-O.
and it is literally like, yeah, God mode
for cloud agents.
You can do a lot with it and that's kind
of what I'm using right now.
So a big shout out to AlexJones88770.
We got Max Apologies saying good morning,
good morning.
We got Fooled by Prime says hello as
well.
Live testing, I just saw this launched
and it was researching.
Yeah, really curious about the good
native computer use, strict screenshots.
It is really good at computer use.
It's extremely fast and I really
appreciate it. TechFran, what's going on,
man? Yo, I got to catch you up on the
redesign, man. This is pretty fire. I got
to get you up on that. So that's what's
up. This is Jenny. I love Vercel Next.js.
Yeah, it's super easy. The Jailbreak
Channel. Okay, hello. Got to be careful.
Does it allow custom plugins? Yes.
Everything you can do inside a cursor as
far as plugins, you can install your own
custom plugins as well. It's your own
dedicated machine. So dedicated machine
on
the cloud and also your own machine as
well.
So they can run in both networks, which
is super cool. Does Super Heavy include a
Cursor 200 sub or is it separate? I
believe it's separate and I think this
runs on a Cursor Ultra.
There is some questions and answers, I
think, at the bottom of this. Let me just
kind of get to that because there was
some
of that as well here.
So I think they're saying for the pricing
is a Cursor Ultra plan. So this gets you
the Grok's own computer. It signs into
your tools, routine, schedules, and all
this stuff.
So that's kind of where you're at. So
already on Cursor Ultra or Super Grok
Heavy, Grok Bot is included.
Okay, so it looks like Grok Bot is also
included in the Super Grok Heavy plan. So
that's the 300 bucks a
month plan. I'm currently on Super Grok,
not Super Grok Heavy because I have
access
via the Premium Plus
from X. So that's kind of like the
difference. I know it's Grok. There's a
lot of different words here,
but there's, you know, a lot, not that
there's some confusion about that, yeah.
So yeah, the bots have
their computer, they can work inside your
apps and tools. And then how much does it
cost? I think this
is the question here. So subscriptions
come with weekly usage included with
additional usage billed
based on token costs. So enterprise
customers should talk to the cursor
account teams for early access.
Yeah. And so somebody maybe have got
questions about data privacy as well. So
uses the same as
cursor's SSO and privacy mode you can
already trust. So the cloud computer is
encrypted in transit
and at rest and with training opt out.
That's cool. That's actually kind of
cool.
So sensitive
actions go through auto review before
they run and enterprise admins can set
DLP
search proxies and
network controls at boot. That's amazing.
And so if you aren't aware yet, I haven't
even got into that
feature. If I wanted to, I can control my
agent by like, for example, for the Luma
event guy, I can open
up the computer and there's a thing
called teach task. So if you hit teach
task, this will record my
session as I click through certain
things. And what that enables the agent
to
do is then learn that task
and repeat that task over and over and
over again. So if you're someone who's
working maybe an admin job
and you're always doing the same exact
workflow all the time, literally just hit
this record button,
hit teach task, do it, and then it'll
make a little skill file for you. And
then
from there,
All you have to do is just tell that
agent to just, hey, here's this new
client, take a picture of whatever they
give you or something, and it will fill
out that form for you on your behalf,
right?
There's just so much stuff like that's
really cool. I did that same exact
workflow when it's called Ticket Snagger.
So I got a parking ticket. And so I just
said, here's the picture of the ticket.
Can you just go fill in the details? And
that way I could just fill in my credit
card at the end. And that's what it did
for me. It just did that for me without
me
kind of touching it.
So I think that's actually really cool
for how that works and stuff like that.
So yeah, it's kind of like a cheat code,
to be honest, and it's a really cool way
of doing that.
So where's dark mode?
I think it does have dark mode, but right
now I'm in the California sunshine, so
I'm
going to have to, you know, pass on that
for now.
Grockbot in MacroHard will be the
Enterprise Simulator.
Yes, probably.
Is it better than Buzz?
I think so.
I think it's better than Buzz for a
couple of reasons. One is because of the
speed. It's extremely fast to use Grok.
Grok, if you've not been using Grok in
general or Grok 4.5, the agent is really,
really fast. Two is like the
conversation at which you can put all
these different agents together and work
really quickly is amazing.
The integration with the computer is just
unparalleled. Just having a remote
computer do stuff for you that
stays signed in that you don't have to
manage all the time is amazing. I just
had
a really slow time with
with Buzz. And when I'm having like
another teammate and everything work with
it and even try to
contribute the open source like compute,
it just took a long time. There's
something crazy about how fast
a computer can spin up and then having
this plugin ecosystem work for you. Like
all of this stuff
really starts to compound more so than
spinning up another thing. I think
there's
a lot of promise
inside of Buzz. But as of right now, if I
were to choose between the two, if I'm a
business,
I'm easily going with the Cursor Grok
plan, you know, whatever the thing is to
get this thing up and running and get my
employees on there as fast as possible.
Record your tasks. I would just tell
them, put everything you possibly can.
Let
an agent do it for you. It's very, very
powerful.
So if you're thinking, if you already
have a Clawed Code plan, you're like,
well, how different is that from this?
It's very different, and I'd say this is
a much smoother experience. It's a little
bit even smoother experience than maybe
Codex.
So with Codex or the new ChatGPT work
stuff, the computer use is really, really
good and you have to spawn in these
different chats.
But there isn't anything that is more
central around a concept of having it as
an agent that works for you.
ChatGPT work are, for me, it feels like
it's a bunch of different threads that
I'm
chasing or a bunch of different projects,
which are cool to organize.
But whenever you have something like
this, it's like combining ChatGPT work
with OpenClaw so that they kind of work
together.
And then the compounding effect are, I
think, the plugins and then the routines.
So you can create the routines for
triggering workflows to do stuff, you
know, whether it's on the schedule,
whether it's like linear, whether it's
Git
or Slack messages,
but then throwing them together to
brainstorm and help you with different
project ideas and so forth.
So imagine doing this. Imagine doing this
on a team. Imagine doing all this other
stuff.
a little bit different than Slack because
these guys then take on their own
personalities.
You're not dealing with one entity.
You're kind of dealing for me what feels
like separate entities.
So that with the cloud computer, I think
this is kind of the right shape for where
the future of work
is going to be like delegated per se. And
once you start to kind of wrap your head
around this
way of thinking, then you will just kind
of always want to throw things to your
companion
and just kind of not that you forget
about them, but it's just a really nice
like fluid back and forth if you know
what I mean. So that's kind of what makes
it feel really good.
What's up, Ray? Glad to see you on
Grokbot. Yeah, man, Dan, like this is
really good stuff. I really
like it a lot. So it's not included in
the $60 cursor, correct? What's potato?
Bro, I got to fill you
in on potato. This is probably the
craziest thing. If you haven't heard
about
this, let me see, it's
It's called P-Stack. P-Stack. Actually, I
think I might have it in a different
thread over here. So here is the how.
Let's see. Potato. No, this is not it.
It's over here. So Lauren from Cursor,
absolute legend, absolute, absolute
legend,
made this thing called, like, this
amazing blog post on how she uses Cursor.
And, like, it is,
it puts me to shame because I thought, I
was like, okay, cool, I have, like, 100
cloud agents a day.
My girl did, like, 100,000 plus cloud
agents just in a month.
It just, like, is amazing because, I
think this probably says it all, I'm not
a
president or CEO.
I've worked with millions of lines of
code at Meta, Netflix, and Cursor.
And I'm also on the React core team where
I help build and maintain the React
compiler.
Let's just stop it right there.
But this is my favorite part.
There's a growing sense that AI writes
too much slop code, and I agree.
I don't want to ship like a team of 20
slop artists.
Throughput without quality is not a goal
I aspire to.
If you want to go fast, go deep first.
So P-Stack is my answer.
These are the same skills I use every day
to ship high quality code at Cursor and
it
turns out it turns Cursor into a real
engineering team and the goal is not to
minimize lines of code.
In fact, it's to do the opposite. So
P-Stack helps you write less but higher
quality code.
And so the fearless parallelism is
probably the best thing and you can start
multiple agents with potato mode.
And so all you have to do is hit slash
add plug in P-Stack and then Cursor will
know what to do.
and then you run the setup P stack and
then when you want to actually query it,
you literally just do slash potato mode.
I'm going to bed. And so I want to show
you this exact chat because this is what
we did last night.
I said, potato mode, I'm going to bed.
PLZ, please follow the doc design handoff
for the redesign and like peace out.
That's what happened on yesterday's
stream. If you want to go ahead and see
that it ran for four hours straight
and it turned my slop design like this.
This is my my AI slop generated, you
know,
garbage into this.
Like this is this is what happened
afterwards. Like it just did the whole
redesign. There's a collapsible
thing. This is my AI clipping app that
will take go through my actual live
stream
and clip everything.
And it just turned it into this like
nice, much more pleasing thing than it
then like this. This had
This was too extra, you know?
But this is like, it's the MVP style,
right?
So I'm just trying to like move fast and
do things.
And this is the power of the P-Stack
slash potato mode.
Y'all got to get up on this.
Even dark mode's included in here.
I mean, this thing absolutely cooks for
four hours.
It did everything.
And you can see how long this planned it.
It generated this plan for us.
This is the whole plan that potato mode
made.
I didn have to touch it I just said I
going to bed Please follow the redesign
That the redesign I got from Claw Design
and just go ahead and cook with it
That's it. That's it. I did the...
Yeah, this whole review, there's 25
commits. It was running checks. It was
like testing itself.
You can see all the fixes and like all
the stuff, like all that stuff's in
there.
So if you haven't heard about this, this
is what I'm saying. Lauren is a legend,
P-O-T-E-T-O.
if you haven't followed her on Cursor,
must. There's so much alpha in there.
Like, yeah, this is just
absolutely correct. So yeah, that's,
that's potato mode. It's a plugin you can
install. It will just
absolutely just like just cook beyond
anything you can imagine. So yeah, that's
what's up. I just wanted
to make sure I covered that as well. So
that's like, that's that. So now I have
Grok mode, right? And I
have potato mode. So I could just say
Grok potato mode, do something. And so
the
agents will then use
that plug-in now and ship software for me
on my behalf. So all I have to do is just
like use potato
mode and I don't like probably won't even
have to say that anymore. After a certain
time I just keep
telling it to you know make a new app for
me or check a look at these PRs, take a
look at the open
GitHub issues or hey can you go ahead and
set up these issues and go fix it for
this
repo. So you can assign
an agent to your repo if you wanted to
and then just have it work on that
project. So you can have you
Basically, you start making your project
management team.
Just start working in this whole thing.
It changes your life.
It's just so crazy.
So can multiple GropBots work together on
one artifact?
Yes.
Yeah.
You can pretty much do anything because
it's just one computer and they'll start
talking to
each other.
Super cool to see SpaceX is doing a
pending cursor acquisition.
Yeah.
How do routines interact with GropBots?
So routines are per the GropBot.
So the routines are like the things that
you schedule.
And so whenever you go in here to like
the right hand side,
You can say add a member, you can create
a routine. And so these are the ones that
will basically, the routines are tied to
the conversation here. So in this
conversation, you can add a trigger to do
something based off of whatever is
happening here. And you can just say, can
you create a routine, just, you know,
explain it in here. And then they can
create the routine for you on their
behalf, saying like, whenever there's a
new change here, or whenever there's a
spec update, or whenever there's a new
bug, send me a Slack message, or whenever
I get a new link,
linear or sentry issue, send an alert to
the Slack to make sure those folks are
notified. Or if there's a
pager duty incident on my app, please
notify these people. You don't have to
write it out. Just tell
the agents in here and then that's kind
of how it would trigger for you. So
that's
a good question.
Is Grokbot working locally in a VM or
online in a cloud VM? So it does, it can
work on, it works online
on a cloud VM and it also works on your
machine. So there's a couple ways of
doing
that. So when it
next to your VM, this is basically your,
like you can see how it's doing its own,
like each computer has its own, like
it's,
it will share like the logins.
You can see I'm already logged into Gmail
here. So wherever I'm logged into like on
there, on those, like all of these have
the same like cookies and stuff for the
computer.
But you can see it actually spins up
almost like a, almost like a new login or
a fresh desktop for you to work.
So if I open a Google browser here and I
go to this computer, I can see like this
is going to have like a different
browser,
but it's still logged into my same
credentials.
So the credentials are shared across the
different computers and it's the same
cloud computer and it runs in a data
center basically.
Then you can also run your own stuff
locally because Grok hooks up to your own
machine.
And so then you can tell it to like say,
hey, on my machine, can you do X, Y, Z?
And like, for example, you know, I have
tail scale set up, but I also have tail
scale set up on my cloud.
so tailscale set up in this cloud network
and my general staff can start to go talk
and look at you
know my open claw and do these other
things which is like super helpful so
that's kind of that in a
nutshell there so that's crazy I only got
the boss to get clawed code though so
it's
only for the cursor
optimized yeah it says cursor ultra yeah
yeah you got to get the the higher plan
Jay Lee what's going on
man yeah yeah what's going on everyone's
kind of popping into the chat that's
what's up
So is SuperGrok heavily suitable for
Grokbot? Are the weekly limits enough?
That's a good question.
I don't actually have a clue on that. And
I'm super, I would think that it would be
more than enough,
to be honest. If you have any problems, I
would just definitely tweet them. And
everyone's kind of on
standby, kind of like, you know, cooking
right now. So, and they're kind of paying
attention to what's
going on. So I think that's kind of the
best way to do that right now. As far as
plugins, yeah, like
right now the next things I probably want
to set up are going to be the Gmail stuff
and like the Google
Drive and then Google Calendar and then
set up my chief of staff because I like I
haven't really set up
the chief of staff I've been doing other
stuff around it like just in my business
and I was just like let's
just see how good this is so there's just
so much opportunity and I just can't
believe how this can
just keep going and going and going so
yeah just best believe that there's just
a
lot of opportunity
for everything to kind of keep ripping
here. And I just kind of wanted to make
sure that we answered some of those
questions.
What is really interesting is that Eric
is also sharing 100 use cases here for
this whole thing.
So he's talking about booking meetings,
taking sales play so they could take 90
minutes to two hours.
So SQL, copy, reverse. So think about all
these things you do in your business.
You can just start doing this. A
multi-bot GM crew, chief of staff that
routes the largest specialist fleet,
Rebuild the most custom CRM, a community
ops fleet that saves 20 hours a week. I
mean, it's already doing
stuff for me and Luma where I don't have
to do that. Screen a thousand event
applicants against an ICP
and batch approve the fits. See, you
could just, because it has its own
computer, it could just do
that stuff, especially while you sleep
and it doesn't take up those resources,
right? Review 200
recruiting apps. Yeah, update a sales
deck, localize. You know, this is really
crazy stuff. He just keeps
Turn call questions into a living Notion
fact and updates every morning. So
because
you give it access
to Notion, maybe even your Grinnell, or
even in Notion, if you're already taking
transcripts, you can
just have it start scrubbed through
everything and it'll just start to
operate
on your behalf, right?
Watch LinkedIn for compelling events and
get weekly digest, send personalized
LinkedIn events. I mean,
it's going to control your own thing.
It's really good. Scan ad performance,
watch a competitor's
pricing page and Slack you when something
changes, right? Learn your writing voice
30 minutes after a call,
send a follow-up reminders in a
character's voice, you know, walk around
missing bulk and roll
permissions. These are really good, you
know? Answer what did we promise this
customer from
contacts, Slack CRM, turn a recorded demo
into a tag clip library for the next one.
You know, this just
keeps going. So there's a lot of cool use
cases and this is really, really fun.
Yeah, I'm super happy
that, you know, I got early access to and
stuff. And I feel like this is just the
beginning. And I think
it's just a new way of thinking about how
you're going to work with these AI agents
and stuff like
that. So Matt Schumer has also been a
critic of Cursor quite a bit. And so his
experience has actually
been a little bit different as far as
like eye-opening for him. He's like, as
many of you know,
I haven't had the best experience with
Cursor products, but this one actually
feels different.
The best way I can describe it is an
agent for everything, not just code. The
interface feels
like iMessage and you can create bots
that each have a job and actually get
better over time as you learn how you
work.
And so there are a lot of products
attempting this, but little details are
what makes GropBot special.
I think that's probably what it is, is
just those little small attention to
detail.
But the other part for me, it just feels
like the compounding effect of having the
plugins available in Cursor and then like
the P-Stack thing, right?
So I could just kind of say words and it
just kind of knows what to do.
I've set up like my brother with an open
claw and I've set up like, you know,
myself with an open claw.
I have like three or four of them and
it's the same Mac mini.
I'm having to configure them, but it's
just not the same if you know what I
mean.
So in this case, I feel really great
because now I have a dedicated machine
and
it's not like on my Mac mini at my house
or anything like that.
So I can just, you know, it's on the
cloud.
I could also have stuff on my machine and
I feel like I can have like a little
sandbox or something to kind of play in.
And I think that's kind of what also kind
of makes this special as well.
So tip, you can also connect multiple
accounts via the same MCP.
Oh, that's a good point. Yes. Yeah. So
MCP is huge, right?
So the connectors to connect, you know,
accounts with like Gmail and stuff, you
can probably do that as well.
So GrockBot reminds me really heavily of
Agent Zero, by the way, nicer UI and
easier to use.
Hmm. Yeah. So like, yeah, Grokbot is a
nice UI. And I think the cool part is
just
the fact of how smooth it is on your
phone
and also on your desktop as well. So
we're
using Grokbot on LinkedIn on a computer
and try LinkedIn terms of service. I
mean,
if you're logged in, whether it's a
computer on your remote machine or you is
and you're controlling it, you're
controlling it. I mean, I don't see a
problem, right?
like I mean I'll leave that on you to
interpret so the fountain looks majestic
today oh yeah because
the timing of the the actual everything
so yeah yeah the lighting I think is
we're
at two o'clock
I need to kind of leave this space pretty
soon but would love to answer any more
questions or if you want
to see some more stuff I think this is
kind of it's a really cool breakthrough
that they're kind of
chugging away at and I think this is
going to be a really fun thing to do so
as
far as a
content creator, chief of staff. So my
chief of staff is working on, right now I
gave it a task because
for my actual bot called Honu, what it
does on my OpenClaw is it generates a
macro brief. So the macro
brief every day gives me, let me see if I
can see Telegram. So on my Telegram, I
have this macro brief
and I'll see if I can play this for you.
I don't think I could play it, but this
is
what generates
every day. I get a little brief on kind
of like what's happening in like the, you
know, macroeconomic
news. So energy, what's happening,
consumer, treasury and labor and stuff
like that. And this is currently
powered by my Open Claw. So this is
something that I kind of want to hand
over
to my Grokbot and see if
it can actually kind of help with this.
And I think it's really, really cool
because, you know, this is
currently using my DGX Spark to generate
the audio for this. And so it gives me
like a little bit of
a morning podcast. So if I'm walking, I
just play this and I can get a sense.
While it's playing and
listening, I can tap around to the
different areas and kind of catch up or
see if there's anything that
is really interesting. So I'm watching
certain things like the Hormuz and
Treasury data. And a lot
of this stuff for me in the morning would
take me like an hour plus to go through
each of these
different sections, like what's the price
of gas and energy. And then I try to put
it into a big
spreadsheet. And, you know, they're just
kind of like slow automation. But this is
kind of the nice
final form factor that I've arrived at.
And I don't have to diff all the
information. You know,
the bots are really good with that. So
I'll keep you on the date, up to date on
how this goes in this
configuration, because there's a lot of
different stuff. This is driven by convex
on the backend.
So convex on the backend is actually
taking some of the queries and hitting
EXA
and then updating
live in real time. And so when that agent
hits it, it just gets all the real time
data. And as data is
updated, it just, you know, updates that
and it's available. So that's pretty
cool.
And yeah, more on
more on that in a little bit. So I'm
going to try to get that set up here. I
just gave it the instructions
to go look at the OpenClaw because it has
access to my tail scale network. And so
it
SSH into my Mac mini
and the Grok bot is now pulling some of
that information and trying to see if it
can build this
whole brief into a new chat agent for us.
So this is the breakdown. So why EXA and
not Firecall?
Right now, EXA is extremely fast. The
query speed for which you can get
mountain
loads of data is insane.
And then the second part of it, there's
this feature called monitors. If you
aren't familiar,
there's this thing called EXA monitors.
This is like changing my life, EXA
monitors.
So this is something that not a lot of
people talk about and I need to make a
video on this is basically you can have
them monitor topics and things and they
can actually come back with the results
So like 10 results or whatever results
you want. So I have them monitoring
various topics. It's especially helpful
for finance.
So in this case, Exa AI monitors.
So what's cool about something like this
is that it does the automatic
deduplication, gives you structured
output, and has scheduling.
So I don't get charged for the same query
hitting the same site if it's the same
results because it's all cache.
And so I only get charged if there's new
results and the cost is extremely low.
And so this is perfect for market
intelligence, monitoring if stuff is
shifting, research papers, like all this
cool stuff.
So telling the like query to go do
certain things and look for certain
topics, you know, my open claw was
driving
what those queries were.
And then if they're still serving it, it
was in my open clause, the one that's
actually now just getting that
information
raw.
So it saves me a lot of step and a lot of
code and a lot of LLM context because I
don't have to use an LLM to like start to
like deduplicate a lot of the information
that's coming back that's on EXA.
And then the second part is cost. It
doesn't cost me again to keep querying
for
the same topic or to get the latest
information for a topic.
So to create a monitor is actually pretty
simple. You know, you just find the
context, you update the thing.
I don't have to do this. You just give it
to an agent. It can go use the websites.
So EXA's websites are incredibly
powerful.
They're incredibly like, they probably
have much more, for me, it's just like
the
depth of data is incredible for what they
have, especially for breaking news and
macroeconomics and for powering like all
of this like pretty in-depth complicated
data.
and if I use something like Firecrawl, I
spend more time updating an agent and
like
fixing broken code from all the responses
versus getting something that's really
structured back and ready to go.
Firecrawl does provide structured data,
but then I have to spend more tokens to
basically like figure out the
duplication,
what's the same, what's changed, and then
also the filtering of the data too,
because the data quality also varies
depending on the sources because there's
now new bots that are
generating fake websites that are showing
up in SEO headlines and they're starting
to rank and so with
the same results with Firecrawl like I
don't get that like high fidelity behind
it it's just like
raw internet search which is okay and
that can be useful for certain things but
yeah EXA has a speed
the deduplication, the massive dataset,
and this is just running as a query, and
it just gives me the
results at the intervals that I want for
what I need. So hopefully that's helpful.
That's what's up.
Yeah. Cool. Does it give you citations on
the results? It does. Exactly. Yeah.
Cool.
Firecall has monitoring too, and Firecall
search is very quick and more accurate.
Is
it benchmarked
Against EXA.
I'm really curious.
Let's see.
Is it like July 2026?
I'd love to try this side-by-side.
Simple QA.
So this is not for another monitor,
though.
This is just for a search query.
a factually benchmark October 2024.
Okay.
I'd love to see your data sets.
Is it open source?
Is this your methodology for...
Read this.
Read the docs.
is this actual yeah Eric if or if someone
from OpenClaw can show me your repo for
how you do the
like what specific tests you're doing
because like is it benchmarked is it not
I
have a lot of
questions because this is like this has
been my biggest pain point is like
deduplicating the data
and ensuring accuracy, especially in
financial data because financial data is
like full of like crap.
Yeah. Yeah. But are the actual data sets
that you use for the benchmarks and
tests,
are those open source?
That's what I'm curious because I just
see simple QA. I don't see the actual
benchmark for this
in here because it just says the
documentation, the playground. So read
the
docs. Yeah. Super curious.
Awesome. Okay, this is cool. Yeah. So
yeah, we've done a lot. So, I mean, you
can see the power of
thinking through automations can be
really interesting here. So tasks like
what I'm doing in an OpenClaw,
like to try to transfer that, to give it
to other team members is really hard,
right? Like it's just
like, yeah, let me just give you access
to my OpenClaw where I could just say,
hey, can you just
include my finance bot and just tag it
into your chat or include it in a group
chat and start having a
conversation on the latest financial
data. That's cool. Like I want to be able
to do that. And that's
kind of why I'm migrating it from the
OpenClaw into my Grok bot, because I
wanted to start to have it,
have conversations, have multiple agents
have conversations with them, you know,
have it go
discover things on my behalf, maybe have
it go update things as well. So I'm, you
know, possibly
thinking it's like, okay, if I have
something that's monitoring some finance
thing or something
that's monitoring news, I can just say,
hey, finance bot, are you tracking this
new news event that can
affect, you know, the 30-year yield or
something that's tracking oil or
something
like that? It's
like, oh, cool, let me go ahead and see
what I've been able to find against that.
It's like, here's what
we're tracking already. So they can
already start having conversations. So
the
power of this is really
cool because it feels like it's going to
keep compounding. And I feel like there's
a lot of
potential here. And this is why I'm
really excited about it. I can see like a
lot of people were
watching my little vague posts on like
something big is coming and people were
thinking it's the new like
origins and stuff. So the cursor team is
just cooking and like this is like the
first release in a while
that they've been able to do stuff. And
you can get up and running incredibly
fast
with these Grockbots
because to get started all you have to do
is hit this little plus and then just
describe what you
want the bot to do. So the bot will kick
off and he'll say, cool, the new bot is
working. And it's going to ask you, what
do you want to do? So the bot will say,
you know, I can help you with personal
assistance. I can help you with like
chief
of staff work. I can help you with
emails.
I can help you with various things. And
so
when it comes back with those types of
things, this is kind of where you can
start filling in all the little details.
So this thing is currently working,
spitting up new computers is what do you
want me around for? Content, research,
ops, something totally new or whatever's
on your mind.
So in this case, when I started my
general staff, at the very beginning, it
says, what do you want me to help you
with? And it gave me a multiple choice.
And then it told me what I want to do as
well. And it says, like, do you want to
connect your Slack to Notions? You can
connect those as well. And then you can
just start to give it more tasks and so
forth. So that's kind of what you can do.
So all you have to do is hit the little
plus sign, and then the new bot will
start
its conversation there. And then that's
how you're going to be able to, like,
start to control the agents and start to
give them your first access there.
So I suspect OpenClaw, Hermes, Buzz, etc.
and all of them will have a response to
this very, very soon.
I think, I hope so, you know, I think
competition is amazing.
So this is, this is an incredible
platform.
I don't think anyone's nailed like the,
like native feel for agents in a way that
this team has.
But then using all the sauce that they've
learned from all the different, you know,
coding agent stuff to kind of make it
blend together as like a product.
not only for the phone but for the
desktop but also for like automating your
life right for not only
automating business but like literally
everything else you want to hand off to
your life and this is
kind of why I feel like this is a huge
step up compared to maybe something like
ChatGPT because
ChatGPT for me feels like one entity
where Grokbot feels like many of these
little guys and many of
these little guys before used to take
getting 50 Mac minis you know all these
different resources online
online. Imagine getting a cloud computer
online. It's like, oh yeah, spin up this
AWS thing, make sure it's
unsecure or something like that. I don't
have to lock down an AWS instance. I
don't
have to tell you how to
set up an SSH box and do this stuff. I
could just tell my brother, just log into
Grok Chat and start
chatting with this thing. It's ready to
go for you. That is so cool and different
from ChatGPT too.
you know so that's what I'm saying like
this this thing can start compounding you
connect your plugins it starts to connect
your data it starts to really it kind of
like just go off in all these great
directions so I really appreciate it. Lee
Rob what's going on man so good to see
you
you love to see it oh man so I can't wait
to see what you guys are cooking with
origins and like all the other stuff man
oh my gosh yeah yeah this this team is on
fire I don't think they ever leave their
headquarters but I think the other thing
that I've been discovering, it's been
really fun to kind of hang out, is that
I'm able to do more stuff
literally just by either interacting with
my phone or just handing it off to these
cloud agents.
And that in and of itself is a feature
that I don't think a lot of people
describe other than just
a headline feature that you see. So the
fact that I can just go say, go do work,
like last night,
I said, here's a massive redesign task,
hand that off to the long-running agent.
And then this morning, the P-stack, you
know, potato, literally cooked for four
hours, did the whole PR, 26 commits and
everything, and come back in the morning.
And all I'm doing is just kind of
reviewing and playing around with the UI
and giving more feedback.
And I wish I would have been able to show
you last night, like, the chat thing, and
I've just been able to hand that off to a
chat.
And so going forward now I can have a
dedicated chat and have these agents kind
of starting to interact with these
things.
But that is probably a bigger unlock
because now you can take your mind and
use
the world to get inspired and bring stuff
in and say, OK, what are those things
that
I just want to start handing off to these
types of agents?
And I feel like this is a new way of
working with AI agents that is a little
bit different than before.
And it's different than a chat. And
there's a lot of capabilities.
So some of these basic primitives you
need are a computer in the cloud. This is
really great.
You don't have to think about that. You
just say, go do the thing and does it,
right? Log into my thing.
It's just, you don't have to think too
much, right? So it just kind of start
having that conversation.
And I feel like it gets you pretty far.
How much does it cost? So it's the $200
ultra plan,
or if you have the super Grok heavy plan
at 300 bucks a month, that can also work.
And it looks like
it'll get you access to that as well.
How's it going? What are we thinking
about
Grokbot? I can see,
I can use my Grokbox sub with Cursor and
get premium. Yeah, man, this is the time.
I mean, Grok is a great agent. And if you
pair that up with, you know, having
GPT-Sol verify the work as well,
those two work really well together. It's
really incredible. Or if you use the
P-Stack thing,
you're pretty much good. You know, you're
just start. Yeah. I was bummed out the
announcement at
first, but this is really slick. It feels
really good. It's really good. Between
the
desktop and the
phone. It's actually really fire. So
yeah, that's what's up. Yeah, shout out
to
Lee. What's going on?
So what's my main harness right now? You
cover a lot. So my main harness is, I'll
show you right now,
is literally Cursor. I am so bad. So if I
go to Cursor, I have a handle called
RayFernando1337.
And so you could track my current
progress right now. Guess how many tokens
I've burned? 12.5 billion.
In the last 30 days, I've been going
absolute monster ever since I found out
about P-Stack.
Look it, this is the result of P-Stack
and I'm just getting started.
I'm going to try to catch up to Lauren.
She has 100,000 agents in 30 days.
I only have 1K.
but yeah this is like the most I did is
1.6 billion in a day. Cursor Grok is
number one for obvious reasons it's so
freaking good right GPT-Sol5-6 to verify
to me is so amazing as well. Composer 2.5
is like I don't think people really
understand speed and then using a
secondary agent like Sol to kind of
course
correct or pop back on and verify.
it is amazing especially for like PRs and
other work that just needs to get done
because you don't need the
most expensive thing and so this is kind
of like this is like the trio I feel like
this is like the god
mode trio you know so you you have this
stuff and not to mention Kimi for UI
design so don't sleep on
Kimi for as well for UI design it's
really awesome so yeah 12.5 billion
tokens
so yeah I've been using
this I've been on I've been cursor pilled
for quite some time and the team has been
shipping incredibly
fast and listening to a lot of feedback.
So I definitely appreciate a lot of the
work that those
teams have been doing and like pretty
much nonstop. So you can see where I went
from local to getting
cloud pilled like right here. And this is
a result of the P-Stack. So Potato, huge
shout outs to Lauren on
that. And family, we're just getting
started. We're just getting started with
this. So that's what's up.
Yeah. I must have missed P-Stack and I'll
search it up. Yeah. Look up P-Stack from
Lauren. It's
definitely. That's what's up. I don't
think you want to see the bill on that,
Justin. I don't want to see
the bill either, so I'm going to shut
down the street, right? Yeah. Wondering
how fast a Grok bot eats up
usage. I don't know exactly how that's
going to play out right now. I think
there
is some usage that
they're giving and currently it's
currently in early access slash beta. So
this is what they're, you know,
announced right now today. So this is
Grok bot. And yeah, have fun, man. This
is
probably the
the most fun I've had a little while,
like playing around with agents and
they're actually
like super helpful for everyday things.
And I think, yeah, congrats to the Cursor
team for like really just
kind of nailing this whole experience.
And there's a lot of excitement on this
for good reason, I think,
because it really, I feel like changes
the way that you're going to think about
using these agents for
your work and the compounding effect of
having these plugins work for you that
connect to other
connectors of your life is really going
to just make it go far, right? I mean,
I'm
just getting started.
I was like hesitant to put my Gmail and
everything into it, but like it's after
all the stuff that I've
been experiencing, especially with like
my Luma event stuff, like it made a
freaking full-on
backend app for me while we were just
chatting, right? It's like it's ready to
go. So by the time
I start this event tonight, I'll have an
app that's deployed with Next.js on
Vercel
with Convex and
clerk for the authentication. I never
even looked at it. I just P-stacked it. I
P-stacked it. Yeah,
that's what's up. And it's like ready to
go. I just got to put the keys in and
then
I just give the,
everyone who shows up wants to do a
lightning talk, they just scan the QR
code. I'll have a real-time
database of what they're going to be
talking about and the pitches and stuff.
And then I'll be able to
go with that. So, NOAA 4.6 today, just
the latest news is just about the GrokBot
stuff. So, good
question. Yeah. Is P-Stack what your
video is from earlier? Yeah. So that's
the
video yesterday,
last night that I made with the cloud
stuff. So that's where you can just go to
sleep and let your
agents work for you on the cloud. So
that's the best way. Now I could just
hand
this stuff off into Grog
here. And then, so another thing too, so
I don't know if you know this. So let me
just kind of go back for
the folks who just joined in. The problem
I had here when I was running, I'm using
this in my business to
run like events and so forth, right? So I
have a Luma event and in my Luma event I
have access to,
like for this Grog bot has access to a
cloud computer and having access to a
cloud computer means it can
just go in and start clicking around. So
I can see the guests who has registered
and it actually filled
out the details for the events. So it put
the details for the event for like what
questions it should ask
the guests and whatever interest they
should be set up. So I said, hey, can you
go through that whole
event list with all those like 300 plus
people who signed up. Let me know the
people who are going and
just make a dashboard for me so I know
what people are going to be wanting to
like listen to the event
about because we're doing robots, we're
doing minimax, we're doing like Swift
stuff. And so it
basically made this for me. It just made
this dashboard from all of that data on
there. It just
went through and you know like Rockbot
did it. I didn't have to do anything. And
so now I have a better
idea. It's like out of all these people
who are going, there's 32 people who want
to present in a
lightning demo. So that lightning demo
would just mean that like they're just
going to do a presentation
and there's a lot of stuff that's going
on. So this tells me their names, what
they want to have like
talking about on the coding lounge as far
as like what their participation is going
to do. And so I
said, man, that's a lot of people who
want to do a presentation and we're going
to have maybe room for
eight people to present. Can you just go
and like create an app for this so that
we
can download it
So they can like people just scan a QR
code and just tell me what this is about.
I don't want people to just like make the
presentation about selling their app. I
actually want a real demo. So I don't
want
any slide decks, any pitches or anything
like that. And so it says, cool, I think
we're going to arrange something for you
for that. So, and then it spun this up
and
then I say open in cursor. And so the
curse, it kicks it off to a cursor cloud
agents.
and so what it did for me is it from the
Grok bot it spins up in Cursor Cloud does
all the work for me right so this is a
full session it's using Opus 5 in the
cloud even merged it into main and
everything using the pstack right and so
now I have everything ready to go and all
I have to do is insert the credentials
for
my convex database and this is all just
happening in the chat I didn't have to go
into Cursor's like actual website or
anything like that just from here you can
see the power right from
the Luma event to creating the event,
just running the whole thing all from a
chat, which is insane.
And so if you think that insane just from
the desktop app like Ray do I have to
just
be on the desktop but wait kids there
more
you can actually have it on your phone
and
this is like the most powerful paradigm
like having all of these chats
on your phone it's so fire right so
here's like the Luma event coordinator
this is that chat right there
with the coordinator we can see what's
going on so I could even pop it back into
the cursor chat and like
pop in to take a look at the repo take a
look at the pool request you know do
whatever I need to do in
there and just kind of have it all done
in my chat. Absolutely crazy and it's
like
such a like it seems obvious but it is
that fluid and it's that good and yeah I
mean and I'm just scratching the surface
but this is kind of what I'm telling you
like you can start to think about these
tasks putting them into these types of
systems like this and just letting them
do
that work for you and just come back and
check it out so that's what's up yeah.
Can you use your Claw subscription with
GB like Buzz? No. GB being, oh, Grok, no.
GrokBot is its own thing.
It's powered by Cursor Ultra. So your
Cursor Ultra sub would do that. They're
very generous with the
Grok and Composer usage. So I imagine
this will just go a long way. So I think
I
saw that plugins are
shared and I can have different GrokBots
auth with different Google accounts. If I
use one for personal,
101 for business. Yes, and I think
there's also MCP. You can set up it
because it's its own computer.
You can set up MCPs and have multiple
accounts connect that someone was
actually
saying. Yeah.
Cool. Can we see the Luma app that just
got built? I can. I don't think it's
going
to launch right now
because I need to put all the credentials
in and I actually have to head on out
because it's already
2.30 because I got to start driving to
the city before traffic starts to build
up
the next 30 minutes.
So, yeah, come to the event or when I get
it set up at the event, I'll let you know
and I'll probably do it for the next
stream for sure.
That'd be really, really cool.
No, yeah, but huge shout outs to the
Cursor team for allowing me to get early
access.
It's been really fun to play around with
Grokbot.
I'm enthusiastic not only because of
that, but I really do feel like once you
start to get to use a system like this
and you start to understand like how fast
it can move and take advantage of many
things in your business,
You're just going to keep throwing things
at it more and more and more.
And we haven't even gotten to the part
where you can just click away on a
computer and it records your tasks and
allows you to basically continue that
task
in the cloud from then on forward.
So similar to like, you know, like what
Ray, like Codex can do that, Claude can
do
that.
But different from Grokbot, Grokbot has
its like little entity in the cloud and
you can include that in a chat
conversation.
The compounding effect of what you can do
with Grokbot is really, really exciting.
And I think
I'm excited for y'all to get a hold of
this and start playing with this too. So
thanks for the sauce.
Looks dope. It's just expensive. Well, if
you're spending 200 bucks a month, think
about it this way,
like on Clawd and you're spending 200
bucks a month on Codex, you're spending
200 bucks a month in all
these different places. If you're doing
similar types of work in all these
different platforms,
if you just start to reduce them down
into like one platform it starts to kind
of make more sense right like 600 bucks a
month total or start moving towards one
area right because cursor gets you access
to all of those models cursor has their
own model that they're training with Grok
as well the Grok model is to me like opus
448 level right I just hand tasks to it
it
does it really fast so the speed is also
crazy and they're very generous on that
too.
Compound that with the things that I
would normally do in ChatGPT Codex, which
is like computer use, checking my mail
messages and so forth.
The only downside of Codex is their cloud
stuff is not that good. Their cloud stuff
needs a lot of work, right? And it's not
well polished like this.
Cursor has the extreme polish of cloud
computer use right now out of like all of
them for doing like human-like tasks.
And then the third part of it are those
plugins.
So if you combine all of those different
things that you're doing in these
different apps, it starts to kind of make
sense, especially if you're a business
owner.
Like if all the different money to spend,
if you had $200 to spend, you're starting
to move towards Cursor because you can
have access to these chat agents.
You have access to a cloud computer that
can start doing work on your behalf.
So not only is this cloud computer really
good for doing code related tasks, it's
now getting really good, especially for
the Grockbot.
to do personal related tasks. So now
you're basically taking all the stuff you
would do in OpenClaw,
right, with your own Mac Mini that you'd
spend on your own hardware. You're just
combining all of those
things. And I feel like it's eating this
up in a really good way and it's really
competitive.
So if you're thinking like, well, I like
to use a certain model of this Heim or I
get certain usage,
you may still want to keep that around
because if you're heavy in coding,
definitely keep that codex
subscription around because you
definitely get a huge number of tokens
per
that platform.
but just think about all the other things
you're using it for personal use that's
kind of like well I use
Clawd for this and I use this to drive a
computer you're just like well you know
it
kind of comes
around to I you know where where do you
want to put your money in and I think if
you kind of consider all
the money you would spend if you're a pro
user if you're using it for business it's
a no-brainer right
you spend 200 bucks in you get 20k back
or something or 10k back or even 200 back
from what you're doing
just to automate those tasks. Just think
about hiring someone to do the tasks. You
just hit the record
button. Have that person that you've
hired keep doing that over and over
again.
Let them go do bigger tasks
now, right? Like now that you've been
doing this, don't get, don't spend 40
hours a week clicking and
filling out these forms. I want you to
like figure out how to automate that, you
know, use this machine
for a week or two. And then now go do
more important stuff that's going to earn
us better money for the
business. 200 bucks a month. That's
nothing. So yeah, that's what's up. How
would I compare it to
Hermes Agent I would say like it a much
faster onboarding The second part of it
is
the computer use Computer use like in the
cloud is like almost unexplainable It so
fast because you just get up and running
super quickly and it
didn't require, you know, you figuring
out how to, what box to connect to, what
other thing. You just
get a computer, you start using it. It's
just crazy. This is like it. You control,
I'm controlling the
computer right now. I'm going to, you
know, speed test and then here we go,
speed tests. It's like,
I'm not a robot. Oh no. You know, so like
this is like actual, like a real computer
in the cloud.
And they're like trying to say like, hey,
we've noticed this feels like a bot or
stuff like that.
So verify. Here we go. Cool. So speed
test. I run the speed test. And so boom,
there we go.
At a data center, my connection can be
horrible, but this computer has full on
access at data center
speeds, right? Plugged into the whole
thing. And you're controlling everything.
Like I can go to Google
and when I go to Google basically my
Gmail is already signed in and everything
like that and that's kind of what I can
do
there.
So that's really really cool and this is
kind of what I'm saying this is the
button
up here where it says teach a task.
That's what I'm talking about earlier if
you're wondering so you can literally
walk
through a task and it will just kind of
do
the whole thing for you.
So crazy. Time to scale back my Clawd
max. You've convinced me.
Dude, I'm same way. Same way because if
this type of thing starts doing
everything
that I'm doing in Clawd
and it has access to the Clawed models,
right? I could just say, hey, go, like
you
saw when I kicked off a
Clawed task, it built it with Opus 5 in
the Clawed and then it came back and it's
like, boom, here you go,
here's your app. I didn't touch it. Why
would I have to go to another app, spin
that up, Clawed code,
come back, go ship it, da-da-da-da-da,
push to GitHub and then sync it back to a
computer somewhere else?
It's already ready to go. I don't think,
like, that's what's crazy. Like, we're in
an era where
having a computer is almost going to be
like having a semi-truck. Do you want a
semi-truck all the time?
You can't park that in your house
anymore. A computer is useful for certain
things. We're moving to this
era pretty quickly where the cloud is
really going to do a lot of really good
stuff extremely quickly.
The agents are going to act on our
behalf. This is just going to be the
default paradigm.
If you're a kid in school today, you're
like, why do you guys have computers? I
don't get it.
Why don't you just talk to this, you
know, your watch? Because your watch can
just, it just needs an interconnection.
It
has a powerful computer up there. I don't
know why you guys are wandering around,
like, trying to collect these things like
it's Pokemon, you know, like, just chill
out, bro. I'm already feeling old, right?
Like, that's what I'm saying, right?
Like,
if you have a specialized use case,
having
a computer will feel like carrying around
a semi-truck. You're like, yeah, like,
that's weird. My dad just carries around
this big old brick, you know?
People used to take these everywhere and
they used to be all cool to a cafe.
It's like, that's so passe now, you know,
because you can just interact with them
over text.
So yeah, definitely hit the thumbs up if
you're all in the chat, that's for sure.
But with T3 Code, yeah, I got to try T3
Code.
I saw him using it at the AI engineer
event on his phone.
It looks so insanely good.
So it looked interesting.
That's literally the issue I'm having,
man.
Too many harnesses.
I have Hermes, Codex.
Dude, I'm the same way.
yeah yeah I think I think with GrokBot
this is going to be the season to kind of
like thin everything down
and can I just be GrokBot pilled as much
as possible and then I will try out
certain things to see what
features are on the horizon because
that's just kind of who I am but I feel
like this is that season to
kind of start kind of going in this
direction and it's it's actually like
pretty good I know they say
beta but like it's already damn good you
know so yeah I'd love to swap Cursor but
losing Fable 5 at the moment would be
like losing an arm. I can see that too,
you know. Fable 5 usage is
pretty costly, even on these other plans
as well. So yeah, I'm kind of curious to
see, you know.
I'm also like rethinking Fable 5 too, and
I'm not really sure where this lands yet.
So I think this
is going to be an evolving thing. So, and
I agree, like the codex subs like do
allow
you to do a lot.
and so that's just the difference like if
you're burning lots of tokens in terms of
code generation you know that's the thing
but I'm saying maybe for more general
people who are like in business I know
people in business that are just using it
just to rewrite emails you know it's like
rock bot you're good like not only that
but it just you know can connect it to do
a lot of other things without a lot of
that extra headache and setup that you
would normally have doing that so I think
I think that's kind of where where that's
landing right now so yeah man I mean
this there's so many so many cool things
about this whole thing so that I feel
like
we can kind of I can go on for days.
But yeah, I think I have to like
definitely get on out. So yeah, this like
there's a routine thing.
This is something that will be created on
your behalf like you just the agents will
create it for you or you can create it
yourself.
So for my guy, this is connected to an
MCP server. This guy tracks my weight
every single day.
And so you can see my weight progress
like in the app. And so it connects to an
MCP server and it has a routine that will
check
every morning to see if I've weighed in
or not. But on top of that, it will do a
recomp review. So it will
look through my workspace and look
through my memory and see like all the
different things, whether I've
submitted any DEXA scans or have any
other types of stuff that I've been
doing,
what I've been doing
with my food for the week. And then it
will give me a report on Sunday for, you
know, how the week has
been going and all this other stuff. So
here's my Sunday check-in. So here's
like,
it had a cluster
of my weight here. So my weight's now at
195. So not a full seven days yet because
it's only been running
for so long. And then here's my
measurement for my waist and everything.
So this is already just kicked
off as far as routine. I didn't have to
write this routine in. And this is
something that just, you
know, included in the Grok bot, which is
really crazy. So let's see the new Grok
that will be a
game changer or not. Oh man, Maria, where
you been? Y'all missed it. We've been
live
for like about an hour.
Yeah, can the computer be used by Grok
and be vulnerable and hacked?
So I think there are that probably why
they still marked in beta right now It
has
you know it running its own sandbox and
so
forth And I think this is something that
I
would love to get some more clarity on
I know that they already have quite a bit
of measures and protections within their
own environments,
but I would not guarantee anything to be
safe at all, especially if any agent
interacts with the internet.
And so that's kind of why I'm really
excited about this, because normally my
own open claw would be the
when it's exposed to the internet, right?
So if I'm putting a lot of data on my Mac
Mini and that's the one
that's searching on the internet for me,
that's kind of why I'm like, you know,
whatever. So this is kind
of like a different situation because of
the way it's all set up. So I'm really
curious. That's a really
good question and I'd be really curious
to ask the team about that. So, well, if
the new Grok 4.6 and the
new Composer come on board, they should
cover 95% of everyone's seeds instead of
Fable. This is going to
and I'm really excited for even Composer
3. Composer 3 will probably be insane
because that's the thing
they're building from scratch. On top of
everything else, this is what's cool
about
this space. It just
keeps evolving and moving super fast. So
you probably already went over this, but
do you know when
Grokbot will be fully rolled out? I think
it's already available if you have the
ultra plans right now.
And I don't know if it's completely fully
rolled out, but we'll find out more
information as it gets
there. So, Brian, what's going on, man?
Thank you so much for tuning in. OG,
MegaChat, Ray on stream,
let's go. Goldrock, you even showed up at
night too, which I really appreciate
that,
like the late night
stream. So, what was that you were
excited about for this week? You said
early in the live,
this is it. This is what I'm excited
about. The GrokBot. This GrokBot is
pretty
cool as far as
technology and what it can do. And I
think it's going to change the way that
we
talk with agents
and OpenClaw and these other like Hermes
and so forth have been there for a while
and they've already kind of made a big
change in the way people think about
these
things.
But the polish and the feel that you
want, that everyone wants for like an iOS
app and so forth, hasn't really come
around yet.
And I think this Grokbot is that answer,
right? It's like doing that, but then
being able to then make this possible for
actual businesses.
So this is where I feel comfortable going
to my local businesses, my local
businesses in my area and telling them
about, you know, here's Grokbot, you
know,
let's just go ahead and get this set up
for you.
I'm going to hit the record button on
this task that you have your admin do
every morning.
Like, what are the reports that you
usually get? Let's connect those
connectors in.
Here's what, you know, you can do for
routines and like, just check your phone.
It's going to send you a little message
on your phone. It's good to go.
It's like, it's going to blow a lot of
people's minds.
I think it's really cool. I think this is
the moment where they're going to start
to
get much more
wider adoption and I think they're going
to have their chat GPT moment like now
slash towards the end of the
year. I think it's really cool. Code,
Frank Ramos, thank you so much, man. 20
months of being a member.
Dude, he's like my, he's my OG member.
He's one of my first members here on the
stream.
GropBot looks pretty cool for running
long personal ages. I'm setting it up for
a daily personal news
summary with Hacker News and Product
Hunt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all just
scratching the surface right
now. 90% Prime Potato Armies. Yeah, the
Potato Stack, the P-Stack is so, so good.
Cursor Ultra Plan in this new
bot. So yeah, you need the Ultra Plan or
the Grok Heavy Plan. So the $200 Ultra
Plan or the $300 Grok Heavy
Plan, you pick your thing. You can
definitely get that. Does it have
conversational mode or is it just
Grok? Right now, it's whatever the mode
is that's in there. I don't know if it's
conversational or not.
It just feels pretty natural. It doesn't
feel like I'm talking to some weirdo or
something like that.
So yeah, that's kind of where we're at
with that. So yeah. No, thank you guys
for
tuning in the stream.
I got to head on out to San Francisco to
get there before traffic to check out
this
event.
If you haven't had a chance, pull up.
I'll be at the Convex headquarters. I
have
a Luma event.
It's called the AIOS Meetup. So if you're
interested in checking out what's
happening in iOS or Swift,
or if you're still new to Vibe Coding and
maybe you've been coding in React Native
and you want to
learn a little bit more about Swift.
There's going to be a lot of people who
are really into Swift there.
One of the reasons I would suggest you
start the code in Swift is because the
App
Store submissions would
prefer apps in Swift over React Native
because it's just Apple's thing. If you
want to be featured in
the App Store, more than likely the apps
they're going to feature are all the apps
that use the latest
iOS 26 primitives and all the different
frameworks and stuff like that. So if you
have a nicely designed
app and it uses iOS 26. Even though it
was generated with AI, your app is going
to stand out a lot more
just because of the look, but also
because of like the stuff that you're
using and like the reviewers
tend to favor those things as well. If
you struggle to ship apps to the app
store,
I would definitely highly suggest you
check out this thing called BitRig,
B-I-T-R-I-G. I've been
starting to use it recently. It's really,
really good and it can help you ship
stuff
to the app store.
I'm going to continue my app building
challenge with Swift and just do it all
automated through that.
And I'm going to be shipping as part of
this thing called Ship-A-Ton.
And so I'll be going into more details
like that in future streams and
throughout
this week,
because my goal is to get my first app in
the app store as a non-fruit employee,
now that I have not been there for
several years and stuff like that.
And it'd be kind of fun.
And I'm just starting out really simple
with things that I need every day and
just
kind of get my arm wet
as far as shipping apps and publishing
them to the store. So hopefully everyone
has an amazing day,
and hopefully you got to check out this
new Grok thing. I'm super excited about
it. Huge congratulations
to the Cursor team and everyone who's
been working sleepless days and nights
trying to get this out
the door and getting in front of people.
I think you guys did an incredible job,
and I'm excited for
everyone else here to go ahead and play
with it. I think it's going to really
change the way you think
about using AI in your business, and you
can get up and running extremely fast
just
by getting an
account. Start talking with this thing
and start to just hand off those
connectors and you'll start to
see the power of this in your business.
All right, y'all. Peace out.

This video highlights the recent launch of Grokbot, a new tool from the Cursor team integrated with XAI. Grokbot functions as an 'AI teammate' that automates business and personal workflows using cloud-based agents. These agents feature persistent computer access, plugin support for third-party services like Gmail, Slack, and Notion, and seamless integration across desktop and mobile devices. The presenter demonstrates how to use these agents to manage events, build apps, and execute routines, emphasizing that this system simplifies delegation and improves productivity without requiring the manual configuration of multiple machines or services.
