0:00Grok 4.7 just released, and it's not only an excellent model, but is the first model trained to be used in an AI agent harness. That's right, this model is literally built for Grok Bot. In this video, I'll cover why this model is so good, show you how to use it, and most importantly, show you my Grok Bot setup and workflow that will skyrocket your activity and makes the absolute most out of Grok 4.7. This one's a banger, so let's lock in and get into it. So, Elon did it. He dropped the long-awaited Grok 4.7 today. It's the one we've been waiting for. Let's talk about what is

0:37different with this model. The number one news story here for me, and after this, we'll go straight into Grok Bot. I'll show you my setup. I'll show you which bots you need. I'll show you the workflows for using this model, all of that, so stick around. But, the number one story here is that this model was

0:52trained to be used natively in Grok Bot. That means it was built to be your personal assistant. It was built to do things. It's built to be proactive. It's built to execute on tasks. It was built to be just as good, if not better, than human beings at doing work on your computer. And this is huge news because I personally believe Grok Bot was the best AI agent harness, and that was on

1:15Grok 4.6. That was before this upgrade. Now, there are a lot of other agents out there. There's now Muse. There's a few others. I think Grok Bot has been my daily driver for weeks now since it released. So, this upgrade is awesome, and I'll show you a lot of the awesome things it can do. Some of other amazing things, same price as Grok 4.6. Grok has been the most cost-efficient model out

1:38there for months and months and months. That only continues. They did not raise the price. They improved performance, same price. From a benchmark perspective, I'll show you those in a second, it's better than Opus 5, and it's half the price of Opus 5. That is pretty mind-blowing. At this point, I don't know really what the point of using Opus 5 is, but I am sure we will hear more from Anthropic soon. This is also SpaceX AI's first entry into what I am calling the great agent race. What do I mean by that? I believe all of these AI companies now care less about you using their models and more about you

2:12using their AI agent harnesses. There is so much more to be won by SpaceX having you use Grok bot than it is just by using their chatbot because now they can see everything you're purchasing, emails, all that. There's so much more data to be had from these AI agent harnesses. So, I believe this massive race for the AI agent harness has begun and this is their first entry into it and I believe everything we see moving forward from these companies are are going to be all about the harness, Grok bot, Muse, all that rather than just the model. So, this is big. From a performance perspective, I like this

2:45chart cuz you can see price to performance here. As you can see, Opus 5, Grok 47, it is above Opus 5 in basically medium and above and it is significantly cheaper. So, there's pretty much no reason to use Opus at this point. Fable 51, they never claimed this was going to be a Fable or Astra level model, although Elon's saying the next one might be that Fable or Astra level model, but this is going to be

3:08your daily driver, your main workhorse. When you need tougher tasks, you go with Fable and Astra. When you're looking to just kind of do your basic everyday tasks, Grok 47 at this moment in time, we got a very exciting 2 weeks ahead of us, is the winner for those kind of daily tasks. Now, let's get into the meat and potatoes here. This is what you've been waiting for. This is the actual helpful part and that is Grok bot

3:32using this brand new model in Grok bot. I get a lot of questions around AI agents. Should I be using Hermes, Grok bot, Muse, all these? We talk about a lot of different AI agents on this channel. I personally, over the last few weeks, Grok bot has been my daily driver. I think Muse is stronger in a lot of different ways. I think Chat GPT work is stronger in a lot of different ways, but for getting just basic tasks done, basic knowledge work tasks done, firing off code really quick, understanding your emails, doing a little bit of research, I think Grok Bot is that fastball down the middle pitch

4:08you rely on that just gets it done better than all the others. That's why I've been relying on Grok Bot. So, what I'm going to show you in a second is my workflow with the brand new Grok 47 inside Grok Bot. What I'm doing to get way more work done, get way more code out there, get much, much more done, but just from a high-level perspective, Muse is great. I just think Grok Bot is built more for the power user. I'm a power user. Odds are if you're watching this channel, you're a power user. I think this is just better for power users because you can have all of these

4:40different agent personas, right? With their own personalities, their own tools, their own memories. For the power user, the non-make-me-a-reservation user, I think this is the best setup you can have, right? I think Muse is great, but I think it's built for the like the make-me-a-reservation crowd, the crowd that like wants to save like 8 seconds and have their AI agent go and make a reservation. I'm not one of them. I make my own reservations. But when I want to get hard work done, when I want to pump out tons of PRs and tons of code, I go to Grok Bot. I'm not going to Muse for

5:12that. So, that's why I still recommend using Grok Bot. Now, let's talk about using Grok 47 in Grok Bot. First, I'll show you my setup. Then I'll show you my workflow using Grok 47, using the Cloud Cursor agents, which I think are excellent. So, my setup is this. As you can see it over here on the left. Basically, for every important area of my life, whether it's for Henry Intelligent Machines, the startup I'm building, whether it's for my content team, whether it's for product research, whether it's for my community, for all the different important areas of my life, another project I'm working on right now, I basically have three main

5:48bots for every area. The project manager, the developer, and the designer. I think for every important area of your life, you should make these three bots inside of Grok Bot. The reason I do that, I think this is a perfect way to separate your team, separate their duties. I find that they are really good at determining which task to give to which bot really well when you have these three roles. So, what you want to do if your setup is not perfect just yet, go in, think of the four to five important areas of your life, then build those sections on your left here, and then put the three bots

6:24in each. The project manager, the developer, the designer. Then your chief of staff can easily message each one. The project manager is going to be your executive on each of those teams, so you can create a group chat called the exec team, which has all your project managers in that one chat. So, if you ever need status updates or things like that, you can just go to your exec team chat and get the status up- dates from the project managers. This is not a setup you can do in Muse. This is a setup you can technically do in like ChatGPT and Claude, but you would need

6:53to like spin up threads, and then pin the threads, and then rename them with names. So, it's kind of like you're taping and gluing together the fix here. Grok Bot is made for this use case, and that's why it's still my daily driver. By the way, if you are a Grok fan, you need to immediately subscribe and turn on notifications, cuz there is way more exciting Grok content coming. I filmed a video over the weekend, which is my most

7:18anticipated video I'm ever putting out. That's coming out soon, so make sure to turn on notifications for that. I'm really excited about this one. It's going to be a lot of fun. Subscribe, turn on notifications, and leave a like if you learned anything at all. Also, one last plug, number one AI newsletter on planet Earth, completely free. Link for that is down below. Click to sign up for that, you won't regret it. So, let's go into the workflow. I personally am building my app, Henry Intelligent Machines, almost completely with GrokBot at the moment because I have a really good workflow going. What is this workflow? Well, here's what makes

7:50GrokBot so good. It is really good at being autonomous and proactive. Right, ChatGPT-6 Astra, best model on planet Earth now, without a doubt. The best at building things, all that, but it's not autonomous. It doesn't just do work, right? You have to tell it exactly what to do. It does what you tell to do really well, but it doesn't automatically pick up tasks and do things while you're not looking. GrokBot does that really, really well. When you connect your GrokBot to the Cursor Cloud agents, to the team I showed you earlier, developer, project manager, designer, and then to some sort of knowledge manager, whether it's Notion

8:29or Linear that has tasks in it, you can basically just go to your team say, "Hey, start building." And they'll go and just build for hours and hours, if not days and days, like they've doing for me here. So, here's the Grok-4-7 inside GrokBot workflow that's absolutely blowing my mind. First of all, make sure you're on Grok-4-7 in your Cursor Cloud agents. All you have to do that say, "Hey, change our Cursor

8:53Cloud agents to Grok-4-7." You hit enter on that. Whoever you're talking to, whatever GrokBot you're talking to, is going to go, change it to Grok-4-7. It's not that by default for some reason, so make sure you do that. Once you do that, we can start setting up this workflow. It's been amazing for me. It's helped me pump out PR's. So, you go to your agent and you give it the idea of what you want to build. I want

9:15to build my own agent harness, right? Whatever you're building at the moment. For me, I'm building an AI agent, so I give it to my agent here and I say, "This is what I want to build." You give it details, then you say, "Create uh issues inside Linear/Notion for this project." So, here's what we're doing. You're giving details about whatever you want to build to your Grokbot. Your Grokbot is taking all those details and breaking your project down into tasks. These are called issues in Linear. I don't know what they're called in Notion. They're just tasks in Notion. And they're breaking it down into little building blocks for your

9:53project. And then they're going to go and take that and put that in that project management tool. You can use Linear Notion for this. Notion's like completely free. Linear, I think I'm paying like $20 a month for, but it has like a really nice UI. So, it's completely up to you. But, as you can see here, I have a ton of different tasks and issues in here that my Grokbot made. So, once you have that, your Grokbots can now just work off this board. They can go autonomous. So, now you can say and go to your Grokbot and say, "Start taking taking tasks off the board and working on them. Review all

10:28your work and verify before you create a PR." Then you hit enter on that. What's going to happen is your Grokbot, which it's been doing it for me for literal days now. This is happening over days here. It's just I'm As you can see, there's zero messages from me here. It is just working autonomously literally for days taking issues and building them out. And what's amazing here, and it's it's what makes Grokbot so good, is they just autonomously talk to each other, the different bots. I haven't sent messages to this bot for weeks. They're just talking to each other, the project manager, the researcher, and the

11:06developer, taking different tasks, asking each other for permission, asking each other for second opinions, and building out my project. And because I have hundreds of tasks on my Linear that I had them write out and develop in detail, they can just go and go and go and go for days on end. And they do it completely autonomously. Now, I know what the first pushback you'll give me is, "Alex, what about usage? What about usage?" Yes, Grokbot usage isn't the best in the world. It's not the best in the world out of all the AI agent harnesses. That's probably Muse. Muse just gives you a crap ton of work for

11:40free. But, here's what you do. As long as you make sure they're using Cursor Cloud agents to code, then you save on usage because it's not Grok doing the work. It's your Cursor credits that are doing the work. And if you're paying for a Cursor plan or a Grok plan, you get Cursor credits with it, right? So, you're saving usage because the Cursor Cloud agents are doing it. I've been doing this workflow, and I'm getting so much work done autonomously. It's like actually ridiculous. This is the only AI agent harness I use that's so good at autonomous work. Like if I'm doing hands-on work, like hands-on, I want to

12:17make sure it's done well, yeah, I'm using ChatGPT because I do it step-by-step. I say it's not autonomous, but it's super smart. But if I have kind of basic, again, fastball down the middle task, build this out, change this, put this, then I have Grok bot doing it because it can just do it autonomously. It can just chug through these tasks so good. It is an amazing setup. It's an amazing workflow. If you aren't using Grok bot like this yet, you need to be cuz now with Grok 4.7, it's doing it so much better. It's so much more accurate. The code is so much better. I am really enjoying Grok bot. I

12:48just think it's an excellent user experience. And now the brains just got a nice free upgrade, right? It's the same price as Grok 4.6. You just wake up today and your Grok bots are smarter than yesterday. That's pretty good. What are you doing Grok bot? What's your setup? Let me know down below. I'm very curious. And what AI agents do you want to hear more? If you want more Muse tutorials, do you want more Grok bot tutorials, do you want more Hermes tutorials, let me know down below in the comments. I make all my videos based on your feedback, so I want to know what you hear. I hope this was helpful. We

13:18live in the most exciting time ever. These next 2 weeks are going to be crazy, by the way. These next 2 weeks are going to be insane. We have so much coming out. Dev Day is next week for Open AI. I guarantee we get a crap ton of releases. I'm hearing birdies about different things. I think a lot of other companies will be shipping things. Next week and this week are going to be probably the two most exciting weeks in

13:42the history of AI. You need to lock in. You need to turn on notifications. I will have videos about all of them as they come out. This is the number one destination in the world for AI news and most importantly practical AI advice for getting the most out of these magical tools. Hope this is helpful. So grateful you'd watch my content. I'll see you in

14:04the next video.
