0:00Your Grokbot just got a hundred times smarter. Five major updates to Grokbot just dropped. I'm about to go through them all, how to take advantage of them, how to be way more productive. I will then show you which AI agents you should be using for which use cases. There's like a hundred AI agents out there right now. Is Grokbot the best? I'll show you which ones you should be using. Then I'm going to give you two use cases you can steal from this video that will instantly make you way more productive with Grokbot. This is going to be an absolute banger video. Let's lock in and

0:31get straight into the first update. Here it is, your Grokbot now has its own email address. So, here's what you need to do. This is rolling out slowly, by the way. Some people reported they have access to it. Some people don't. I just checked, I have access to it. You can now ask your Grokbot to get its own email address. So, instead of having to give Grokbot access to your own email or anything like that, it can have its own email address. You can forward emails to it. It can read those emails. It can send emails. And most importantly, it can sign up for its own accounts with

1:05its own email address. All you need to do to set this up is go to your Grokbot, go to your main bot. We'll talk about main bots in a second. And then say, "Hey, claim me an email address." It'll check for you if it can set it up. Again, some people have access, some people don't. I think it's a slow rollout. And then you can just say, "Hey, uh can you make it

1:25alex@grokbot.com?" Alex is free. I got alex@grokbot.com. that's a major win, by the way. Anyway, and he claims it for you. It's good to go. Now my Grokbot has its own email address. Please do not email my Grokbot. Again, this gives you several major advantages now. If you get an email from somebody and you want your Grokbot to take a look at it, forward it to your Grokbot's email address. If you're having a conversation with someone and you want your Grokbot to schedule you a meeting, add your Grokbot as like a CC on the email and say, "Hey, by the way, GrokBot, can you schedule the meeting

1:59here?" But, as I said earlier, I think maybe the most powerful use case here is you can just say, "Hey, GrokBot, I need you to sign up for an account here. I need you to download this app over here. Please use your own email address to sign up for it." Now, instead of having to get you to put in your password and sign in with your account or whatever it is, it can just sign up on its own, create its own account, and keep your workflows moving much quicker. Quick, easy win to GrokBot. Just go and say, "Hey, can you clean me an email

2:24address?" And then get it that done. Big, easy win. Love it. Very cool feature from GrokBot. The second major update they just dropped is called MainBot. What is MainBot? Well, if you haven't been paying attention lately, Meta Muse has been taking over the space. It's what everyone's talking about. It's been getting a lot of attention and for good reason. It is one bot that does basically everything. You have one god thread chat that you go to and it goes and can handle your entire life for you. I think the Space X AI team saw that Meta Muse is getting a lot of attention. Like, "Okay, I think

3:00there's some things we can do here to capture that audience that Meta Muse has gotten." And what they decided to do was give you the ability to have a MainBot. As you can see, my MainBot here is Slate. It's got that star next to it showing you it's the MainBot. And now Slate has much more visibility into what other agents are doing by default. So, by default, it knows what my long list agents here, what they're all doing. And Slate knows it's your MainBot, so it's going to become a lot more proactive for you. That's really the strength of Meta Muse is because one bot has access to

3:33everything and has kind of the god thread, it can be very proactive across your entire life and suggest things to do. Now that GrokBot, you can choose a MainBot, it can do the same thing. To give you an example, here's a proactive message I got this morning. It went through, checked my calendar, checked my email, said, "Hey, you need to lock in that date for the interview. Hey, you got doctor's appointment today. Hey, you got to respond to California cuz they want $10 trillion a month for health insurance. Do you want me to handle any of this for you?" Right? It was super proactive. It looked at my entire life,

4:05everything I got plugged in, said, "Hey, I can do all these five things for you." So, now Grok bot is much more proactive. You need to set your main bot. If you're logging in the update for the first time, it's going to have a pop-up that asks you to choose who your main bot is. Otherwise, you can go in and just message your bot and say, "Hey, I want

4:22to make you the main bot in Grok bot." And it'll do it for you. And then what you'll notice is, one, again, it'll be way more proactive, message you, ping you, "Hey, this broke. Hey, you got to do this. Hey, you got this coming up. Do you want me to do this?" And two, it'll have better visibility and delegation powers. So, you can just go to your main bot for everything and it will delegate tasks very, very easily and nicely to your other bots. Main bot, big update for someone who I personally, I think I lean more towards the God thread model, just going to one thread, handles

4:53everything for you. This is a major win. I really like this. This next update might be, honestly, the biggest one of them all. Elon Musk, the trillionaire himself, announced this morning that Grok bot moving forwards not just going to use Grok models, it's going to also use Claude Opus 5.5, Midjourney, Suno, and any of the other leading AI models out there depending on the task you're giving it. So, if you give it a super advanced coding task, it'll lean on Claude Opus 5.5 since right now it's the best coding model. If you give it a super advanced kind of photo editing task, it's going to use Midjourney. This

5:29is massive, it's huge, and it shows you the position of strength that SpaceX is moving from. One, it just makes Grok bot much better, right? Grok 4.7, great model, quick model, cheap model, but it's not the best model. And so, that was kind of holding Grok bot back a bit is that it just didn't have the best

5:49intelligence. It can handle most of my tasks for me, but if I had a super complex task, I'm going to Claude, right? I'm going to Claude Opus 5.5. I had to use other tools. Now, SpaceX AI is saying, "No, we're going to put it all in GrokBot. You just do everything in GrokBot." Now, you might be going, "Hey, that's strange. Isn't like Claude a competitor to GrokBot? How can they do that? Why are they How are they implementing their competitors? That doesn't make much sense." Well, no, no, no, there's a reason why he's a trillionaire. Anthropic signed a multi-billion-dollar deal with SpaceX AI earlier this year to

6:24use their massive Colossus data center. So, when you go to Claude right now and you send it prompts, there's a very good chance those prompts are being sent to SpaceX AI data centers, and that's where the Claude models are running. So, yes, when it uses Claude model, that money is going to Anthropic, but at the same time, that money is then going from Anthropic back to SpaceX AI because all of their stuff is running on SpaceX AI infrastructure. That is why SpaceX AI is like an unbelievable company, and Elon Musk is an unbelievable entrepreneur because he is really vertically integrated in the entire AI space. He

7:02has the models, the Grok models are very strong, he has the applications, GrokBot is probably top two uh agent harnesses out there at the moment. And then on top of it, they also have the infrastructure. So, they have the data centers, they have the GPUs, they have the chips. They're the only completely vertically integrated AI company. OpenAI is trying to build data centers right now, Anthropic's not even trying to build data centers, they're just a model company. But SpaceX AI, they're already there. They have the biggest data centers, they have the most GPUs, they have the most compute, so they can make money off the entire

7:38stack. And now they're building terrafabs, so they're going to be creating the GPUs as well. I mean, SpaceX AI stock, I mean, it's If you believe in the AI movement, if you believe AI is going to get only bigger and bigger, I I don't know how you don't invest in SpaceX AI stock. So, anyway, that's the big update. There's no kind of change needed for you other than you just keep using Grok Bot, I guess,

7:59because now it's going to be better. It's just going to be smarter for you, and you don't have to do anything about it. It's just going to start using smarter models for you, which is amazing. This is like It's almost like the cursor of AI agent harnesses because it can use any model, and believe it not, the cursor team built it. So, I guess that kind of makes sense. Next up

8:17is a more advanced cursor integration. So, this is sick. Grok Bot's become a lot better at coding now. Can do a lot more interesting things. So, cursor cloud agents are now more deeply integrated. So, it has some neat interesting tricks now. First of all, you can track the cloud agent live as it's working. So, I had my Grok Bot building a new feature into Henry

8:38Intelligent Machines. Uh it sent it sent me this link to the cursor cloud agent. Now, I can see everything it's doing, everything it's building. I can change the model if I want to. So, if I want to switch to Opus 55 to make sure it's building with that model, I can do that. But, the really

8:53cool part is what it shows you next. Check this out. It now also records videos of all the changes it makes and sends you the recordings and screenshots. Look at this. It made a change on my landing page, and now has this video. It recorded itself. It recorded itself of the change it made to change some colors of buttons here, and you can see it clicking it, showing the different animations. Changes it makes now get recorded on its own computer and sent to you. And even uh sends you the screenshots, too. So, I guess this is the before, and then the after. Really sick. So, it's a lot more

9:25intelligent, a lot more interactive. It's a lot more multimedia. Really, really cool. It's making coding now with Grok Bot pretty incredible. It's being being able to use Opus, and now being able to send your videos and screenshots of everything it's doing automatically. You can even see the library over here everything it's doing. You can check on it later. Really incredible. So, make sure you're using the cursor agents inside of Grok Bot as well. And here is

9:49another update I think is really cool. If you live on X like I do, you can now tag bot in any of your posts or replies, give it a command, right? So, Kristof from the SpaceX AI team met at a Grok Bot event, very nice. I said you can now tag bot to start working on something. I said, "Hey bot, give me all the use cases of what everyone's doing with this

10:10new feature." Grok Bot replied, "On it. Sending this to your Grok Bot now." And then inside Grok Bot you can see it messaged me directly from my main bot. Every use case people are doing with this new tag feature in Grok Bot. It even sent me an entire markdown file with the use cases in it. This is pretty wild. Look at how much that that's It's amazing. So, now when you're on X, if you're not using X I think you should be. I think you should be building a social media presence. I think distribution is one of the last modes in the AI age. If you're using X,

10:42you should be using @bot. You see a cool tip, maybe you see a tip I put on X, you can just reply, "Hey bot, send this to myself and execute on it for me." And it'll do it for you. So, I want to give you two use cases, two tips for Grok Bot. You really use this with any AI agent at the moment that I've been doing lately that I really like. It is a morning prompt and a night prompt. In the morning I go in and I say, "Which approvals do you need from me right now?" I kick my day off with this every single morning. This very simple prompt

11:12does something unique though. What it does is it causes your Grok Bot to go, look through all your emails, look through everything it knows about you, your linear, your notion, everything you have it connected and find tasks it can do for you, right? It finds things you might have forgotten about and do those tasks for you, which is really really cool. And then you just say, "Approve, approve, approve, approve." And it goes and it does those tasks for you. On the

11:34flip side, you have the night prompt. So, right before I go to bed every single night, I go to my Grokbot or go whatever. Last time it was with Claude. I was building game in Claude. And I go, "Hey, I'm about to go to sleep. What's something you can work on for the next 8 hours that pushes us closer to our goals?" And it comes up with a whole bunch of really interesting unique things it can build or it can do for you. And you just hit approve and it goes. These two prompts are really powerful because they unlock unknown unknowns, right? They find things you

12:02haven't thought of that you can do that the agent has awareness of because it has access to all your context. It can figure those things out. You say, "Hey, go do that for me." And it does it. It's really good at finding things and figuring out things you didn't know your AI agent can do. So, morning prompt,

12:17night prompt, do those two things. Morning, "Hey, what approvals do you need from me?" At night, "Hey, I'm about to go to bed. What can you build for me?" So, there's a lot of different AI agents. I cover them all on this channel. I cover every single AI agent. Sometimes I guess that pisses people off that I talk about every AI agent. Guys, reminder, this isn't a football team, right? You don't have to be loyal to any of these agents. You can use them all. I am constantly changing which ones I'm using based on their strengths. You don't have to. Any of these, Grokbot, Dots, Muse, Hark, whatever, you can just

12:46choose one and use them for everything. But if you want to hyper-optimize like I do, here's kind of how I'm optimizing right now. For all my knowledge work, I'm using Grokbot. I think these improvements are amazing. I think for just general day-to-day knowledge work, it is excellent. For building, I am now using Grokbot. I've been using Dots mostly for building lately. The challenge with Dots is there's just a lot of kind of rough edges with it at the moment. It can only work on one computer. You can't put it across all your computers. And Claude Opus is the strongest model right now. Now that Claude Opus is inside Grokbot and now

13:20they have the like these deep cursor cloud agent integrations, I'm liking Grokbot for for Although, I will say this, if Dots drops an update tomorrow where it can go across all your computers, it's a little bit faster, and maybe they drop Astra 6.1, I'm going to switch back to Dots for building. And that's That's just the way it is. Like, you don't have to be like me, right? I'm trying to hyper-optimize. I'm trying to get like the best agent for the best use cases at all times. For me, this is just my setup now. That's what's best at the

13:49moment. Tomorrow, Dots might come out. I'll put out a video titled Dots is the greatest AI agent ever. And I'll tell you why you got to use it. And you just got to deal with it because that's how I roll. And then on the personal assistant side, I misspelled assistant. I should have had my agent build this for me. I'm

14:05using Muse and Hark. Hark is brand new. It just dropped yesterday. I'm liking it a lot, so I'm playing around with that a lot. Uh Muse, it just knows everything about me, so I'm doing some things there with it as well. I'm playing around with those two. These two are really your like personal assistant tasks. Your like, "Book me the reservation. Book me your Uber. Respond to this email." Kind of the more of a personal assistant stuff. That's what I've been using there. If you learned anything at all,
