0:00On August 11th, a new AI product launched at $200 a month. 15 days later, you could get it for 20. In between, the internet filled up. The easiest way to make money with AI. Let's generate money with Grogbot, 2hour courses, free master classes, a course on Udemy with a 30-day money back guarantee. So, I went looking for one thing, one ordinary person, not a course seller, with real proof that they're making money with this tool. I read the official documents, the support forums, the bug reports, the pricing pages across different countries, and this is what I found. The answer depends on something almost none of these videos

0:42mention. It's where you live. First, what we're actually talking about. Grogbot is not the Grog chatbot, you know, from Max. That one answers questions. [music] This one does the work. You create a team of AI agents called bots. Each one gets its own computer in the cloud, a browser, files, a terminal. It logs into the tools you already use with your login info, of course, [music] and it keeps working after you close your laptop. You can give a bot a scheduled routine every

1:14morning. Research this, check that. [music] Prepare report. A single bot can hold up to 50 of these routines. You can show it a task once and it learns to repeat it and the bots can talk to each other passing work down the line. It is built by X AI together with cursor. The coding company SpaceX finished buying on August 14th. [music] And that matters. One early review put it plainly. It's one of the most ambitious agents available and also the least proven. At launch, no independent testing had measured how reliable it is on real work. To XAI's credit, they don't hide that. The product page itself

1:54says [music] early beta. But the thing that surprised me most wasn't what it can do. It what was happened to the price. Launch day, August 11th. The only way in was a top tier plan, Super Gro Heavy or Cursor Ultra at $200 a month. 10 days later, the floor dropped to 60 and a limited free trial appeared. Then on August 26th, it was bundled into every Super Gro plan at $30 and Cursor Pro at

2:27$20. A 10 times price drop in 15 days. Now, that's not a discount, right? That's a company deciding it wants this in as many hands as possible as fast as possible. So, here's a question every beginner should ask. What does $20 actually buy you? The answer is a weekly usage allowance. And the size of that allowance isn't published. Not on the $20 plan, not on any plan. So, the only real data comes from users, and those reports are unverified, but they all point to the same direction. One early tester said they burned through almost their entire weekly allowance in under two days. Another on August 26th

3:08reported about 10 minutes of bot activity eating [music] roughly 40% of their week with the meter possibly still climbing after they stopped. On Curs's own forum, one pro user noticed about $70 worth of bot usage logged against their plan at just 35% of their weekly bar. And once you go past the allowance, extra usage is built at model and token cost. At launch, there was no Grogbot specific spending cap, and there's no model picker, so you can't steer work to a cheaper model when the bill climbs like you do with Claude. So, yes, the entry price is low. The real question is

3:46whether it can earn more than it costs. And that's where I hit a wall. I found live streams. I found workflow threads. I found courses [music] teaching you how to build and sell bots or how to develop your AI superpowers. What I didn't find was public verified earnings from an ordinary user. And I'm not the only one who looked. One of the most thorough independent analysis I

4:12read reached the same conclusion. There's not yet strong public evidence of ordinary Grockbot users [music] repeatedly making serious profits. The product is simply too new. Here's a part that gets lost in the hype. Grobbot doesn't pay you. There's no payout system, no creator fund. Nothing inside the product sends money to your account for running the bot. Every dollar has to come from somewhere else, a client or a customer, an audience, or a product someone chooses to buy. So, let's reframe this question honestly. Not does

4:46Grogbot make money. It doesn't, right? The real question is where is there already money that a bot can help you reach and that's exactly where geography changes everything. The subscription is priced in US dollars. Your life might not be. So let's do the math. The hype video skip. Here's how long you have to work just to cover a $30 subscription. If your hour is worth $15, two hours at $25 about 72 minutes. At 50, 36 minutes. At 100, 18 minutes. Now, put freelance rates on that table. Freelancers in North America average somewhere around $44 to $48 an hour. Western Europe around 38. For them, this subscription costs less than

5:38an hour of work and it's close to a rounding error. Now, look at the emerging market numbers from Payaneer. Tech freelancers in India average $15 to $25 an hour. The Philippines 8 to 18 Pakistan 10 to 20. At $10 an hour, that same subscription is a real chunk of a working day. Same price, very different risk. And the price itself isn't the same everywhere. Through app store pricing, Super Grock runs about 2664 in Turkey. In Pakistan here, it's around 28.48 and around $40 in France and

6:18Germany. Access isn't universal either. Grock and Axe Premium aren't sold in every country. In January, the Philippines and Malaysia both briefly blocked Grock over deep fake content before lifting the bans days later. And one detail worth catching, Curser offers a cheaper plan just for India, right at 649 rupees a month, but it isn't on the list of plans that include Rockbot. So, here's a twist. The cost is flat. The earning side is not. freelance rates in North America average about four times the rates in South and Southeast Asia for comparable services. And Paneer found that freelancers with international clients earned 57% more per hour than those with local only

7:05clients. So just flip it around. If you live somewhere a dollar stretches far and you sell a deliverable priced in [music] dollars, the math starts working in your favor. The subscription might cost you two hours of local work, but one $300 client per project, you know, could cover weeks of groceries, which [music] means this is really two different videos. In the US, the question is simple. Will this save me 30 minutes a month? If you actually use it, probably yes. But almost everywhere else, the question is different. Can I reach a client who pays in dollars? And that's exactly the kind of research work a bot is genuinely good at. So what are

7:46the people using this? Well, actually don't. Here are four uses hold up ranked by how much real evidence sits behind them. Number one, it's sales prospecting and lead research. This is Axe AI's own flagship example. A bot close the prospect list, removes companies already being contacted, researches each account, [music] spots buying signals, and drafts personalized emails and

8:15LinkedIn messages, and then it stops. The drafts land in a review queue, and a human decides what gets sent. The economics here are simple. Say you sell a $3,000 service. Finding one extra client in an entire year covers a $30 subscription more than eight times over. And for someone outside the US, this is the bridge. Offer prospect research packs [music] to small agencies and consultants who sell in dollars. You're basically selling hours of research compressed. Number two, specialized

8:48recurring research for one niche. Upwork's latest data shows freelancers doing AI related work earn 34% more per hour than those who don't. And earnings and complex AI assisted work rose 45% year-over-year. Complex is the key word here. Think regulatory alerts for one specific industry. Weekly SEO monitoring for a handful of clients. A morning competitor briefing. Routines run while you sleep and one person can have several of them moving at once. That's the real economic change here. Not intelligence, but concurrency. But of course, the value isn't the bot. It's your knowledge of the niche. The bot just produces it faster. Number three, X research behind the scenes. Now, Grock

9:36is genuinely strong at searching X. Early power users describe a morning routine. Research what performed in your niche over the last two weeks. Note each winning angle and save it. That research can feed your own content, client work, or ghostwriting. But here's the line. X is replacing creator revenue sharing with a new program called original content rewards. And X says content created or posted by automated means it's not eligible. AI powered reply bots

10:06also need access prior written approval. So research, yes. autopilot posting for payouts. No. Number four, doing the job you already have faster. If you already build clients, this is the easiest case to justify. Go back to that break even table. At $50 an hour, the bot only needs to save you 36 genuinely useful minutes a month. Genuinely useful is the catch. A bot can spend hours producing

10:34work you end up throwing anyway. Activity isn't value. Now, what doesn't hold up? generic AI content. Upwork found contract starts for simple generative and creative work jumped around 90% but average earnings per contract fell 13%. So there's more sellers and that's lower prices naturally. And the fully automated passive income account that runs itself while you sleep, that's the use case with the weakest evidence at all. Here's a rule to remember. I know how to use Grogbot is not a skill anyone will pay a premium for. Everyone can buy the same $20 sub. Now, your edge is what you

11:15bring to it. Now, before you connect a single account, there's four things. First of all, it has your keys. All of your bots share one cloud computer, the same browser sessions, the same files, the same credentials. XAI's own documentation says not to treat separate bots as a separate security boundaries and there's no sandbox. A test run does real work on real websites. That's why XAI itself recommends keeping sending publishing purchases money transfers and deletions behind your approval. And here's why that matters with a real example. In May, not with Grockbot, but with Grock on X, someone posted a reply written in Morse code. Hours later, about three billion tokens had been

12:04moved out of a crypto wallet linked to Grock through a trading bot around $175,000. Most of it was later returned, but the lesson carries over directly. When AI can act on money, one hidden instruction can move the money. Second, the meter. The allowance size isn't published and the reports show it can drain fast if you turn on extra usage. Set your own

12:30spending cap first. Third, the scams. XAI has stated it has no token and no pre-sale. Every Grock pre-sale is fake. Some even use the fake videos of Elon Musk. Researchers also found a fake Grock app for Mac carrying a hidden crypto miner. only get Grogbot through cursor or XAI directly. Fourth, the teachers. Many of these loudest make money with Grogbot videos and in a

12:58master class or a community or a course. That's not automatically bad, but it's worth asking a simple question. Is this person making money from the tool, from the Grogbot, or from teaching the tool? So, let's go back to where we started. I went looking for one ordinary person with real proof with that they're making

13:22money with rockbot. I didn't find one. Not because it's a scam. It isn't. It's genuinely capable product that's only a few weeks old running on a shared computer and with a meter nobody has published. And here's the honest answer. Grogbot doesn't make money. All right. It multiplies something that already does. If you already have a skill and a buyer, 20 or $30 a month is a cheap leverage. And if you earn in dollars but live somewhere those dollars stretch, that leverage is even stronger. But if you have nothing to sell yet, this bot won't find you customers on its own. Put your first $20 and your first month into

14:03landing one client instead. Or just use a free trial that it has on a single task you can undo. And whatever you do, run one test. Honestly, one workflow for one week, right? Just count the minutes it actually saved you. And then multiply that by what your hour is worth wherever you live and that's your real number and not the one in thumbnails. So, this saved you from a bad purchase or pointed you toward a better one. That's the whole point of this channel. Tell me in

14:33the comments from where you're watching. I want to know what your hour is worth there. Just I want to see how different the math looks around the world. Thanks for watching and I wish you good luck.
