  xAI built this for themselves first. The three jobs they actually run on it tell you more than the launch page does. Sales: a bot reads the call transcript, writes the notes into the CRM, drafts the follow-ups. Nobody retypes anything. Ops: a bot seats new hires and processes invoices that arrive in Gmail. The boring half of an ops role, gone. Engineering: a bot reproduces the bug in the product UI, files the ticket, then hands it to a second bot to fix. That handoff happens without a human in the middle. Notice what all three have in common. The work ends inside the actual tool, not as a draft in a chat window. Their own line for it: there is a huge difference between 90% done and 100% done. Start with the ops one. It is the least risky and the most repetitive.

  Fauci lied about origins of Covid, & forced Morens to cover up his involvement. Morens stated in his emails “Tony Fauci doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories, so Morens dealt with it on a private Gmail server to get it off NIH records so Fauci could avoid prosecution.

  People have been asking about the kinds of things I’ve been utilizing Grok Bot for as an average joe. I’ve posted elsewhere, but I’ll park some of it here for context of what someone who can’t use it on work systems (restricted from doing so) sees as a real use case for AGI: - Search for and book plane international first class (lay flat) tickets utilizing best award redemptions. (It found them, and were now going to Japan) - Dispute a significant Lexis Nexis error with supporting documents that reside in my email. - Provide me a policy analysis hourly based on various publicly available congressional bills and documents - Go into my AT&T bill and average my family’s monthly usage across 14 devices and see if it can negotiate a lower rate or see if I’m being overcharged (it found a lower rate and grabbed it) - Clean and organize my gmail inbox of 40,000 emails, and unsubscribe me from spam Granted, most of this stuff is not going to be done on a regular basis. Particularly the email organization. But these are the types of things that new general users are going to want to do. And if they run out of compute while doing it in the first few hours, they’re going to be more unlikely to resubscribe.

  @GergelyOrosz Good post. Here's my take: connecting several Gmail accounts without a new tab per inbox is the boring win. Codex and Cowork still make you live in one login. That's why it feels like staff.

  11 DAYS IN PRODUCTION, 30 HOURS A WEEK OFF HIS PLATE, AND EVERY AGENT IN THAT GRAPH IS HOLDING A LIVE LOGIN Shmidt is the only one in this whole Grok Bot week who put a runtime on screen instead of a screenshot of the pricing page. His chain is the strongest thing in that post: planner, scout, dedupe, cite check, writer, verify, and the cite check node is the one nobody else is bothering to build. The chain is missing the node that comes after verify. Nothing in it records what an agent actually did with the Gmail and CRM logins you handed it while you were asleep, and approval is not a log. CopilotKit shipped OpenBot six days after Grok Bot went out, MIT licensed and self hosted, a computer per bot, a fail closed policy, and every action audited from day one. It took 2,051 GitHub stars in four days. 7 minutes, one container, no Kubernetes, and a straight comparison of the two trust models. Watch it, then build his stack below with a log you can read the next morning.

  How to set up Grok Bot for your company: Grok Bot’s biggest advantage right now is it's easy setup. You can connect the tools your company already works in, port over workflows you already know work, and get an autonomous agent running without building the whole stack yourself. Here’s how I’d set it up: 1. START WITH THE SYSTEMS THAT HOLD USEFUL CONTEXT Connect the places where your company already works: > Google Drive for docs, strategy, offers, and SOPs > Slack for conversations and internal context > Gmail + Calendar for communication and meetings > Gong for customer, sales, and internal calls > GitHub + Linear for product and project context > Mixpanel for product data > Stripe for revenue signals > Clay for enrichment and outbound data Connect the systems the bot actually needs for its job. 2. DON’T INVENT YOUR FIRST WORKFLOW FROM SCRATCH This is where most people hit the cold start problem. Open Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Hermes, or whatever AI you already use every day and ask: “Based on how I work, what are the highest leverage workflows I repeat often enough to turn into autonomous agents?” Then have it package the best workflow into an .md file. You already spent months teaching your existing AI how you work. Use that context. 3. GIVE GROK BOT ONE NARROW JOB Bad: "Run my marketing" Better: "Monitor Gong, X, YouTube, and our existing content, Find topics we have authority on, Score them by TOFU / MOFU / BOFU potential, Return the highest priority SEO + AEO briefs" One bot. One job. One measurable output. 4. FEED IT THE CONTEXT THAT MAKES THE WORK YOURS For a marketing bot, I’d include: > Past campaigns and what worked > Brand voice > ICP > Offers and pricing > Content examples > Internal SOPs > Sales calls > Customer language > Previous tests > Examples of what “good” looks like The more queryable your company becomes, the more useful the agent becomes. 5. SET THE PERMISSION BOUNDARY BEFORE YOU RUN IT My rule: Read + research + draft = run freely Send + publish + spend + change records = human approval Give the agent access to the context it needs. Don’t give it unlimited permission. A simple first setup: Existing workflow ↓ Export to .md ↓ Connect 3 to 5 useful tools ↓ Give Grok Bot one job ↓ Run ↓ Review ↓ Tighten the workflow Good first bots: > Content radar > SEO / AEO brief bot > Revenue signal monitor > Marketing analyst > Customer voice miner > Outreach researcher > Project operator Grok Bot is interesting for companies because it removes a lot of the setup that normally keeps autonomous agents in the hands of technical power users.

  STOP Using "Sign in with Google" for EVERYTHING!!! Your google account may be connected to far more than just gmail. cloud tools, business accounts, developer platforms, documents, and even services that make you money can all depend on the same login. That convenience can create a single point of failure. If your google account is ever suspended, compromised, or lost, recovering access to everything connected to it can become a much bigger problem than you expect. For important accounts, avoid relying on google as your only login method. use unique passwords, 2fa, recovery methods, and backup admin access whenever possible. Also check your google account connections and remove third-party apps you no longer recognize or use.

  We watched a team 10x their dials and halve their conversations. The dialer worked "perfectly". That was the problem.... At 10 lines per rep, every answered call drops up to 9 others mid-ring. Your dashboard logs them as "no answer." Carriers log them as dead air — the fingerprint of a robocaller. And carriers score every outbound number the way Gmail scores every domain for spam. Enough dead air: Scam Likely. Your reps keep dialing. The phone stops ringing on the other end — or rings wearing a warning label. Connect rate falls. The fix every team reaches for is more dials. More dead air. More flags. I've watched this movie in email: spray-and-pray burned the domains, everyone blamed the copy. Same physics, new channel. What we changed: → Capped the dialer at 3 lines per rep. → Checked number reputation weekly. → Rested flagged numbers — fresh ones with no history get flagged faster. Conversations came back on a third of the dials. Ask your team one question this week: "What's lowering our connect rate?" If nobody knows it, you have your answer.

  Hey @TeamYouTube I woke up today with a disabled Gmail account caused by an error in your system. For context, I currently live in Colombia, but returned to the U.S. for about a month. When I returned to Colombia, I needed to re-sign in to my Google account to sign into YouTube. Your system prompted me to change my Password due to 'Suspicious Behavior' which I assume is due to the IP address change or something like this. So I changed my password, logged in, and everything was fine. This morning my Gmail account was disabled, which is also tied to my YouTube. I am certain this was done in error as I have not violated any Google policies. If you could look into this, I'd really appreciate it.

  @bcherny Claude Code Gmail connector: /mcp reports auth success, then fetching tools fails every time. {"type":"not_found_error","message":"Server not found"} 5 attempts over ~2h, same thing. OAuth completes fine, so it's not the creds.

  Every AI writing tool has the same problem. It writes well. It just does not sound like you. Two years of pasting threads into Claude to fix that. Explain who the person is. Ask for shorter. Ask for warmer. Paste it back into Gmail. Then rewrite the three lines that still are not mine. Lindy put that entire loop inside Gmail. The reply is already written when you open the email, and you change it by saying what you want changed: → No blank page (it is written the way you write, before you get there) → No prompting (one line back to it and the whole draft moves) Two goes and it sounds like me. Not like something writing on my behalf. Every other tool turned me into an editor. This one gets closer every time I correct it. @getlindy

  your esp handles delivery. not deliverability. delivery means it handed the message over and the receiving server took it. that is the end of their job. whether anyone tells you what happened next depends entirely on which provider it was. yahoo sends complaints back per message. dkim based enrolment, arf reports, the most timely signal available anywhere. microsoft sends them too, through jmrp. they rebuilt that platform recently, so if you enrolled years ago you may have quietly stopped receiving anything. gmail sends nothing per message. postmaster gives you an aggregate rate and that is all. apple sends nothing at all. no feedback loop, no dashboard, no rate. their postmaster page tells you to suppress inactive subscribers instead. so for the two providers carrying most consumer ecommerce, you are working blind. and your esp cannot report a number nobody ever sent it.

  I used to think “agents in group chats” were a gimmick. Now I think the bigger problem is that too much strategy still lives in my head, and too many useful skills are too messy or sensitive to share cleanly. That’s what changed my mind. I’m starting to think a multiagent should become the default workspace for our growth team. Not because Slack or gmail are unusable. They’re just very good at holding messages, and not that good at holding work. What I actually want is one place where people can @ my Codex directly to ask positioning and strategy questions. A lot of the time the problem is not execution. It’s that people are operating on slightly different versions of what I want. For example, yesterday my growth team Mengyao and Alyssa pulled me into a meeting to ask what I meant by doing a small creator push for Okeight. Actually they could just ask my codex That kind of nuance gets lost constantly if the only interface is “ask Monica in a meeting.” And honestly, I also forget to sync strategy changes fast enough. Sometimes I change my mind on priorities, or realize an angle is wrong, or want to shift the goal slightly, and I just forget to tell everyone in time. Then different people are working off different versions of the strategy. Nothing is fully broken, but the team drifts. I also want the group to automatically turn the past week of work into a real weekly report. I’ve tried asking people to write trackers before, and it’s painful for everyone. Not everyone is trained to produce polished internal docs, and more importantly, they shouldn’t have to spend time doing that just to prove work happened. What I actually want from a weekly report is: - what worked - what didn’t - what content performed unusually well - whose priorities are off - where output quality is weak - which direction feels wrong That should be inferred from the work, not manually reconstructed afterward. Then there’s the skill-sharing problem. Some of the most useful internal skills are hard to share directly because they expose too much. Sometimes sharing a deep skill means exposing keys. Sometimes it means exposing messy internal setup. Sometimes it’s just too complicated to package cleanly. I built a pretty complex video editing skill recently, and it made this very obvious. In theory I want that capability to be reusable. In practice, sharing it cleanly is hard, and sharing it carelessly is dangerous. I also keep running into a simpler but equally stupid problem: the context already exists somewhere, but I forget to attach it. For example, Mengyao ran a Reddit reply test recently, and the doc from that experiment has a huge amount of signal in it. It could shape product direction, growth direction, and a lot of downstream decisions. But when I’m talking to Codex about strategy, I still sometimes forget to include it. That is such a stupid failure mode. I used to think “agents in group chats” were a toy. Now I increasingly think a lot of teams do not need a smarter agent first. They need a workspace where the agent is already sitting inside the context, absorbing strategy changes as they happen, and using the shared work without everyone manually re-explaining it. We’re going to test this internally for real. I’ll report back next month with what worked, what was annoying, and what turned out to be fake.

  I don't want to sound like an AI alarmist, but I increasingly think AI in the hands of engineers will lead to a devastating world. And the key point here being "in the hands of engineers". This might sound controversial. I would be the first to, in fact, say that engineers still need to be involved in implementing AI. That true agentic experiences are nearly impossible without involvement of engineering. But the more I run into walls with products at some of the most skilled engineering companies (xAI, Google), the more I realize that engineers are just not suitable to govern this powerful resource. In the same way, that engineers are not suitable to govern Customer Support, or Sales Development. An engineer might built a product and a successful company with a customer support. But that customer support cannot be successful and be managed directly by the said engineer. Same with AI. Consider my own recent situation. I got locked out from an old gmail account that I haven't checked in a long time. I have the password; I have the recovery email address. I went through all the steps required to confirm my identity, and was still denied access. Or another recent experience running ads on X. Somehow the system decided that my ads violated their terms (they did not). A duplicated ad got flagged for the same issue. The account is now flagged for life, and there is no recourse. While these are not the fault of AI, and AI can certainly be modified to better handle edge cases, the bigger problem is higher up in the food chain. The problem with treating AI as just another function in the overall user experience, is the misunderstanding of what AI is competing with. When engineering perceive the value of AI, the intrinsic motivation: efficiency and automation. Engineering does not want to deal with the problem, so AI is introduced to automate the solution. But this is an entirely wrong way to think about it. And it is precisely the type of thinking that leads to a Gmail account owner not being able to authenticate into his (my) own account. The right way, in fact, should be to think of AI as a replacement for a person. And a replacement for a person, while a form of automation, is not necessarily about efficiency. In some cases, the AI replacement should actually be plenty inefficient. For instance, when an edge case situation is evaluated. A support ticket comes for a previously automated decision. Efficiency was already applied. To then re-apply the same efficiency, engineers are creating the decision maker and the judge in one body. Dumb AI is a decision maker, the judge, and the executor. That's not how it should be. Some form of AI should always be allowed to have larger freedom to self-correct. And frankly, freedom is not how engineers tend to think about systems they want to control. And how do I know all this? Because I am an engineer.
