    Asked @bot to audit my finances and it found a motel in Palo Alto that double charged me $7,070.30 It also recommended I move all my liquid cash into 𝕏 money because 6% APY is nuts. I can’t stress this enough — the more bots you have looking over your finances, the better.

    So much fun to build, and more to come! Been chipping away at it with @bot over the last few weeks while driving to work.

    It’s tempting to add controls everywhere and easy to do with agents. But every button on the screen is one more thing a user has to think about. Before adding any user input to an agent tool, ask yourself if you could just make the agent do more and delete the part altogether.

    SpaceXSI's @mattyp says "UI is dead," and the next generation of internal tools won't need a UI: "UI is dead. I just gotta throw out the hot takes. In all seriousness, I build UIs every day. But a surprising number of things that I thought I needed a UI for, I really didn’t." "There was low code, then vibe coding internal tools. There’s this next phase of internal tooling that is just chat, just an agent." "Software is really just a UI, a back end, and a data source. If the agent acts as the back end and has access to a spreadsheet, and chat is the UI, you can get a surprising number of things done." @bot @SpaceXSI

    After the smoke, I'm now filming everything so Grok @bot can see what happens. Also giving Grok a thermal camera so it can detect components overheating on my desk and notify me. In hindsight it's crazy how little telemetry I was giving to Grok. We measure everything when building software, why would it be any different for robots. I now have constant streams of sensor info, thermals, and visuals being fed to my computer so @bot can debug when something goes wrong.

    Voice in @bot is the closest we have to real life Jarvis. I've been using it to discuss a robot into existence over the last week. Looking forward to firing off a "computa, execute walking sequence" soon.

    We are rolling out a new streaming dictation experience in Grok @bot! Available in mobile on 1.18. Built upon the exceptional work of @aegeantic. Video made by my bot!

    Grok @bot ordered itself a body, then called me to walk through the assembly and electronics. It’s plugged in to my computer and uploading the software!

    Update: it started smoking and I had to tear it apart 🔥 The usb-c wasn’t connecting to my Mac with the battery attached so I disconnected the battery, but then it was drawing power from my Mac and sending directly to the pca (server controller). Grok recommends I unplug the power, upload the program, disconnect the usbc, then reconnect everything. It also recommended I buy a fire extinguisher.

    Grok bot now has local tools on your iPhone and Android devices! You can ask bot to interact with your calendar, reminders, contacts, and more. I've been using this to plan out my day during my commute so I have a clear schedule before I get to work.

    Never built a robot from scratch before so I had Grok @bot make me a Lego-style assembly instruction book for its robot body.

    It also designed a bigger body too after I changed the requirements, which is why there are giant servos in this photo.

    I gave my Grok bot $1000 to build itself a body. Parts just keep showing up at my apartment.

    It's insane how good shopping with @bot has gotten this last week. I can ask for robot parts and it'll find the best deals across the internet, create an interactive bill of materials with pages, then start ordering to my place with 𝕏 money. Normally when something is this easy I get nervous about overspending, but @bot is conscientious about my budget and keeps me grounded. If there was a unregretted dollars spent benchmark, @bot would be squarely on the protera frontier.

    My Grok @bot ordered itself a 3d printed body and mailed the parts to my place. Spent $217.15 of the $1000 I gave it to make a body for itself.

    If you want to do the same, just tag @bot and ask to replicate! I’ll post all my learnings on 𝕏, your bot can keep an eye out for updates.
