[0:00] In today's video, I'm going to be breaking down Grockbot. What is Grockbot? Who do I recommend it to? Should you use it? What makes it different than Chad GBT and Claude? If any of that interests you, make sure you guys stick around. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Reese Harden. I am currently a lead developer at an AI company based in Louisville, Kentucky called Hire Alley. Now, at Ali, basically what we do is we generate leads for small businesses. So, being able to build and be hands-on with these AI tools every single day. What that does, it allows me to be able to invest

[0:25] in these AI tools for the company and be able to understand them throughout. So, it's quite literally my job to understand AI and I use it every single day. So, with that, I'm just trying to spread the knowledge, give some advice. So, if any of that interests you, make sure you guys subscribe for more videos like this. Anyway, without any further ado, let's get right into it. So, we're going to be breaking this video down into five different sections. The first one being what is Grockpot? Grockpot is an AI agent that is on the cloud, meaning it's online 247, which means it keeps working even if you close your

[0:54] computer or your power goes out or whatever. It's an AI teammate that you're able to communicate with back and forth as if it was a real human being. You're able to create many different bots, all trained and based on different parts of a company. You're able to add these bots into group chats. These bots can also message and communicate with each other back and forth. Each bot also has its own computer, which is pretty cool, meaning it's able to actually integrate and do kind of like a computer

[1:16] use system. And it's all one shared box. Meaning if I go into one bot and I log in with one account on Google, I go to the next bot, it will be able to also use the Google login, which basically allows you to automate literally anything from your phone. Which brings me to my next point of like Grockpots on your phone. So you're able to just spin up any kind of AI agent you want at any time from your phone. Another big thing about Grockpot is you just give it some work and it'll figure out the rest in order to get it done. So, for example,

[1:38] if I was like, I need to book a calendar invite for DJ, who is the CEO of the company, and I need to meet with him Thursday at 3 p.m. EST, but I need to go talk to his assistant first, make sure that he's free on those times and all that. I can just tell my bot, hey, can you go check if DJ's free at 3 p.m., it'll check his calendar. If he's free at 3 p.m., it'll then go to his assistant, communicate with his assistant, and can handle all of that for me. So then I'm not having to do that back and forth and I'm able to

[2:03] still have the meeting but buy back all of that time that I'm not going to have to just sit there and try and figure out scheduling times. Grockpot also allows it extremely easy to be able to do plugins, skills, you can teach it tasks and so much more. Which brings me on to my second point which is what are the features of Grockbot? Now Grockbot has a lot of features so bear with me. The first one that I want to talk about is being able to teach a skill. I think this is super cool and it's honestly like one of [clears throat] the main reasons I like Grockbot. Basically let's

[2:28] say you do something every day. Let's say you log into a website, you click a few buttons, and it's like you could automate this, but there's no, you know, you don't know how. Well, if you go into Grockbot and you click the little computer use, you can actually press a little recording in the top right, then what you're able to do is do the task, stop recording, and then the AI will actually go analyze that video and then be able to save that like what you just did as a skill. So then, even if you don't know how to automate something, you can just have Grockbot still

[2:52] automate it just based on what you've told it or what you've showed it. Another cool thing about Grockbot is it all gets its own computers. Now, all these computers are what's called a virtual machine. Now, what's kind of cool about it, but also kind of confusing if you're not too technical, is it's all one shared computer, but different containers. So, what that means is, again, if I log into, let's say, my Google account on Google Chrome, that will be able to transfer between all of my different bots, but they all have different terminals, and they all have different files. So, what that allows is to be able to have one bot to

[3:19] train on one specific thing. So if your bot has access to the internet and has files and has the terminal, then you're able to literally do whatever you want on that. So again, it's pretty cool just being able to give different bots different accesses to just different things. The next thing they have is something called connectors. Um Chad GBT and Claude also have these where you're able to just connect your Gmail account, connect your like connect your different accounts straight into Grockbot and they make it super easy, which also I'm going to go ahead and throw that in as another feature. The number one thing about

[3:45] Grockbot is even if you're not technical, it is still super easy to get started. Like the UI is extremely easy to navigate. They list everything out with literal click of a button. Even if you're zero technical skills, you're able to spin up as many AI agents as you want, all trained on different things. Like before Grockpot, that was pretty complex to actually do. Each bot also has its own separate memory. So what you've talked about with each bot saves in that chat. So, if I have a talk with one of my tech leads, right? And then I have an engineering team. Well, this bot, the tech lead will remember, but

[4:15] then I can also go into my other bot and it's going to remember its own thing. So, each bot has its own memory. There's also routines, which is super cool. So, basically, if I was like, "Hey, Grockbot, every day 8 a.m. I want you to go read my email." And then just give me a update on what's going on and, you know, what's in my email inbox. All I've got to do is tell it that and then it'll just go set everything up. I don't have to go into it, make a routine, set it up, connect. As long as I did that connector and I added my Gmail account,

[4:38] I can just tell Grockbot to, hey, every day at 9:00 am I want to be notified with a summary of what I need to get done for the day. It'll handle everything else. You don't got to understand how do cron jobs work and everything in between. Also, another big winning point for me is that it has a desktop and a mobile app. Now, what that means is is if I'm working from my computer, so I usually work from my main computer, which is a Windows computer, my MacBook, and also my phone. Now, typically I'm not on my phone too much, but it is pretty nice that if I am not

[5:04] home and I need to be able to spin up an AI agent that I can do that from my phone. That's insane. That's that's honestly one of the reasons I use Rockbot is just the fact that I can do it from my phone. And at Ali, I'm currently our only developer and the lead developer. So, being able to spin up these AI agents from my phone are really important because if I'm not home and something goes wrong, I can still fix and get hands-on with it even if I don't have my MacBook or if I don't have my access to my computer, which without

[5:27] I just wasn't able to do before. Something else that's pretty cool is that if you actually get a lot of your different team members on Grockbot, you can actually share bots around. So, what that means is if you train a bot that, let's say it's trained on the design style of your business, right? Well, then what you can actually do is get a templated bot, send it to your friend or send it to your employee or whoever, they're able to click on that bot and they're able to have the same bot that you have, but it shares the same instructions, right? So, it's super easy. Which brings me to my next point

[5:54] is it is extremely easy to create bots. You can literally tell a bot to create a bot. number one. Or if you do it by hand, you literally just press a few buttons, you name it, you can give it a label and you can just give it a description and type in the description whatever you want and there you go. So, it's pretty cool. Which brings me on to point number three. So, if it has all these different features, you've

[6:11] probably heard of all these before. You've heard of connectives before. You've heard of being able to email summaries, right? You already had this before. So, what makes this truly different from your chat GBT and your Claude and and so on. The first one being, like I said, that how easy it is. The fact that you're able to do this and I believe easier than you can in Chad GBT that you can in Claude. That opens the door to everybody. So you don't have to be super technical to set up routines and to set up automations. Like you can literally just do it from your phone just speaking to it. So that's number

[6:38] one. Number two is that you're able to actually have different AI agents that are trained on different tasks that communicate with one another to get one specific thing done. So what that may look like is you may have one bot that is your, you know, CTO, your chief technical technological officer. You go and communicate with them. You're like, "This is what I want to get done." From

[6:56] there, you'll have an engineering team. One bot may be for the backend, one bot may be for the UI, one bot may be for quality assurance. Your CTO bot will then go and communicate with all three bots in parallel, being able to work with all three of them at once. So, this speeds up development time because instead of having to continuously launch different like codecs or cloud code agents in the terminal or in the desktop app, whatever, you're able to just tell one bot and then the bot can go spin it off for you, which I think is pretty cool. But also another thing that this

[7:21] has been around in the AI thing for a while is that when you have one bot that is trained on one specific task, it does that task a lot better. So for example, I have a bot that is trained on all of my writing. So if I need to write an email to a client or I need to write an email to the CEO or to another employee, whatever it may be, I have that trained on all of the past years of my writing, all of my emails, all of that. So it's already trained on that. So then

[7:45] whenever, let's say my CTO bot, right? my technological officer bot needs to write a summary of the changes it did to um DJ's assistant, the CEO of the company's assistant. Then what I can do is it will then go call on the bot that is trained on my writing, get that to write the message and then just use that. So then basically every bot is trained on each little specific task which brings that just the quality assurance for me has gotten a lot better. I've seen it be able to do that a lot better versus like claude and codeex which in claude and codeex you can have the memories and you can tell

[8:13] it to write it a certain way but to me this has been a lot better because the bot is specifically trained for that specific thing and then if you know if it does good this is another little tip is tell it it did good because then what it can do is remember that hey this got you know it got acknowledgement for this keep writing it similar to that so just like a human whenever an AI agent does good work tell it hey you did good work remember that that way it has that acknowledgement and knows next time to keep kind of having the good and bad

[8:37] exempt Another big thing that I like about this is from my testing is that it just gets things done. Like Claude, Code, and Codeex, they like to have a lot of handholding. Sometimes it feels like I was able to give Grockbot a mission. Meaning like I was like, do this, went to sleep, woke up, and it was done. It was completed. Now granted, if you aren't super technical, you're going to want to make sure you have this stuff sandboxed, right? Like if you're working in production code, you're just going to

[9:00] sleep and waking up and hoping it works. Don't do that. Okay, number one. But for me, we have things called the staging environment, right? Or the local environment, whatever, you have these sandbox environments to where if I wake up and my local host isn't working, like that doesn't really matter. So that's just a little heads up is like when you're working with these bots or any agent for that point, not even just Grockbot, don't tell it to just go work and then just leave your setup or don't attend it and then it can touch production code. That's going to be bad and you don't ever want to do that

[9:26] because it may or may not mess up. But why play a gamble? All right, so with all of that out of the way, that brings me to my next point, which is number four, which is pricing. Now, the pricing for Grobbot/cursor is super kind of confusing, so try and keep up with me here, right? I know it's going to be confusing. Just it basically what happened was SpaceX or XAI, they've acquired Cursor. So, depending on when you watch this, they're supposed to be working on simplifying the pricing down, number one. But number two, that's why you kind of hear cursor, grockbot, you hear all these different things in one

[9:58] because what happened was like I said, XAI SpaceX acquire cursor. So anyway, that other way, there's basically a few different options that you can get your hand on Grockbot. There is the Gro subscription, which is like $20 a month, and then there's Gro Heavy at like $300 a month. Then there's also the Cursor subscriptions, which start at like $20 a month, and then you get the one at $60 a month, and then you get Cursor Ultra, which is $200 a month. Now, both Grock and Cursor subscriptions give you access to Grockbot. Now, with that being said, the one that I recommend you go with is probably the Cursor subscription. And I

[10:28] say that because Grock will only give you access to the Grock models and Grockbot versus where if you go with Cursor, you get access to all of Cursor's models, which will give you access to your Fables, your Opus, your Sonnetss, your Souls. So, it gives you access to all the like other models as well. Number one, but then it also allows you to have um Grockbot launch the what's called agents in the cloud and use a cursor to do that. So, if you had to pick between do I get the Gro or yeah the Gro/ SpaceXi subscription or get the cursor subscription to unlock Grockbot, I

[10:58] personally recommend you get the cursor subscription because again it comes with Grockbot and it comes with cursor with all of the other models as well, which is pretty cool. Something else important to know is that usage kind of gets um there's two different usage. So, if you buy the cursor one, you're going to have one that is a cursor usage limit and that's going to be your limit for using like the actual Opus or the actual Gro like AI LLM. That that's one usage and

[11:20] then you have one usage for Grockbot. So, Grockbot is his own usage um on every plan. So, it's not going to tie into the same thing. So, if you're working with Grockbot a lot, you're this was very confusing for me when I first got on there was like I was flying through Grockbot usage, but my curse usage was at none. So, it's important to tell Grockbot to try and offload as much as it can into the cursor agents online in the cloud. So, that way you're not utilizing all your Grockbot usage in in one sitting. All right. So, all out of the way, now you kind of have a good

[11:46] understanding of Grockbot, the pricing behind it, you know, some different maybe you've thought of some different use cases that you could use in your business um or even just in a development stack, whatever it may be. But who do I recommend this for? I personally recommend this for people who are either number one a solo founder, a solo engineer, someone who is working by themselves in a specific field. So if I had eight of what we call me, right? If we have eight engineers and eight developers working on Alley, I probably wouldn't need Grockbot with a whole engineering team because there would be eight of me with, you know, Cloud Code

[12:16] and Codeex, which is more of like a hands-on tool. Or if you're like a new entrepreneur and there's so many different things, you know, you have your sales, you have your marketing, you have maybe you have an engineering thing, but it's just you. Like if you're a solo person or you have a significant small team, I think that's where Grockbot can shine through because again, you can launch different bots for different things. Number two is people who just aren't technical, right? Like if you aren't technical, I think Grockbot is the most kind of advanced tool that's zero learning, right? I think anyone can get on Grockpot and

[12:44] kind of figure out their way around and build automations without any technical background. Like these other tools are getting better like Chad GBT and Claude, they're adding more integrations every day, but you still got to go on there and do different things and I feel like it's a bit more technical than Rockbot. You get on Grockbot and you can get a good understanding of what's going on very quickly. So if you're not technical, then I think Grockbot wins by a mile there. I think Grockbot is also really good if you are looking to build a lot of automations from like your phone, right? like being able to open

[13:10] Grockbot on my phone, hit the dictation button, and be able to talk to him and be like, "Hey, I need a new automation for such and such." For an example, one of the automations that I set up was that as soon as something goes wrong in our back end, like let's say like we get like we get a lot of API errors, for example, or the response rate gets really slow, that'll automatically spin up a Grockbot, which I already have a Grockbot set up for this, so it'll automatically alert that Grockbot. that Grockbot will then go look at the API errors, the errors going on, try and

[13:34] find the problem. If it can fix the problem, go ahead and start working on the PR and also alert me of the problem and what it's working on to get it fixed. Now, you can still build all of that, right? Like I could still build all of that kind of like pipeline, but it would require me to use an API to

[13:47] open AI or to claw it or whatever. Versus with Grockpot, I was like, "Hey, I want to set up a watchdog essentially where it's as soon as something goes down or there's any API errors or spike or whatever, I want you to be able to spectate it. What do you need from me?" It was like nothing. I'll have it set up now. Then it was like, I recommend you go and get like page your duty and things like that, it was like go set up a page of duty account, log in on the

[14:07] thing and I'll handle everything else. So all I had to do was create an account. I created an account on one website and it set up all of that for me. So instead of me having to go in there and get API keys or tell Claude to do it or prompt Claude to do it, like it all I did was go on my phone, talk for 2 minutes, and then log into or create an account and it did everything else for me. And also keep in mind, Grockpot

[14:24] probably could have created the account. That's the crazy thing. I could have probably just told Grockpot to create the account, tell me the password, and it could have done it and I wouldn't have had to touch nothing. So to me, if you are someone who is building like crazy and you don't have that many resources, I think that's this is where Grockbot comes in cuz it's just very high leverage for very low effort that you have to get put into it. I hope this kind of makes sense for everybody and that if this video does help you out, please make sure you guys subscribe down below. Also, if you want a free AI

[14:48] checklist, which I just went over in my last video, which is how you can actually get started with AI and a few different tips, go over to rehearden.com/checklist. There I'll send you a free PDF completely free. All you got to do go in there, enter your email, it goes sent over basically immediately. So that's pretty cool. And it's literally a PDF of a different checklist and different things that I've learned and how you can take any kind of AI model, whether it's Grockot, Claude, Clock, Code, Codeex, whatever, and make it a lot more efficient. So again, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you guys learned

[15:13] anything, please let me know. If you have any more questions or you want to see anything else, let me know down in the description below. I will see you guys in the next one.
