Grok Bot is not what you think
plus skills and tools to try with agents
TL;DR
- The author initially tried personal AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes but stopped using them, finding them overly complex and their output unused.
- Grok Bot stands out with its 'personification' feature, allowing agents to have system prompts, message each other, and use a virtual computer, making it feel like messaging a teammate.
- The setup for Grok Bot is described as less complex, enabling easy automation and screen-watching for 'teaching' the bot, although account connection had hiccups.
- Grok Bot is powered by Grok 4.6, which performs well on benchmarks and is more cost-effective than competitors; Grok 4.7 is expected soon.
- Other AI news includes ChatGPT's project import features, Claude's saved chats, and mentions of various AI tools and services like Name.com API, treg, Caffeine, Ori Pi, Natter, and Ramp AI.
