Grok Bot Just Dropped and I Had to Try It

Grok Bot just dropped and I had to try it. It's basically a team of bots on your computer that do the stuff you'd normally hand to a teammate — LinkedIn, GitHub, email, the lot.

In this video I spin up a coding bot on my Playwright movies repo, create a LinkedIn bot (and yes… it actually posted for me), close some old GitHub issues, poke through the plugins, and add email + X bots. I'm properly blown away.

If you've been drowning in context switching between apps, this is worth a look.

Since the video I have read some emails and sent replies. I hate emails so this feels great for me. I also set up a content creating workflow so writing this blog post here — which uses my add-content skill — goes ahead and produces a post on my site, then adds it to Dev.to with a canonical URL, then creates a LinkedIn post and an X post. At least it should do. This is the start of it. See you at the end of the workflow....

In the meantime, seriously, this can do so much and this was just me on the free trial, yet I am already sold. I think it can take so much off my plate, meaning I can do more and then easily share more cool stuff with the rest of the world. I now have a team of bots who work for me.

The crazy part is how easy it is to onboard and connect with other providers. With one word, like just naming the bot, it gives me a list of things I might want to do and I just click along. So if I don't really know what I want to do, it guides me, and that is cool. Best user experience ever. It's gonna change how we do things and that is exciting. Look forward to hearing other views on it.
