One day at GitHub Universe and I came home with more hardware than swag.
The badge was a computer. The lamp glows. The keyboard kit is on my bench.
Thank you @github for Startups and Corey at @Microsoft for having @palmalabs_ai there.

I asked my @bot for a slide deck and it gave me options to pick from.
I tell it what the deck is for.
It shows me sample slides.
I pick a style.
Then it hands me a PowerPoint or a Google Slides file.
I'm never starting from a blank page again.
Try it on your next presentation.
How did I get my AI teammate to run my day with zero code?
Meet Primary @bot . It's the one I talk to.
It spots work it can take off my plate and offers to help.
Add more Bots and the one marked with a star coordinates them all.
I don't set up every Bot. I just ask.
What would you hand it first?
I told my Bot to watch X while I slept.
By 8 AM it had the best replies ranked and waiting in Slack.
Tag @bot on any thread. It can search, read, and monitor posts for you. No extra setup.
Still rolling out, so if you don't have it yet, you will soon.
What would you have it watch?
One bot to talk to, with a team behind it.
A quick look at Primary Bot in Grok Bot: start with one bot and let it route tasks to the right one.
What would you hand off first?
Universe, round two. 🚀

Come for AI. Stay for the people.
Real conversations, shared ideas, and people helping each other get started. That’s the community we’re building in Miami.
Come join us.
Miami Let's get it started @bot
We set up the chairs. Miami did the rest.
AI brought us together. The people made the night.
@palmalabs_ai × @thelabmiami × @spacexai
Who’s coming to the next one?
Grok Bot SpaceXAI Meetup at The LAB Miami
A night of AI, ideas, and new connections. Shout-out to @gabiebythesea from our community for capturing these moments.
Thanks to everyone who came out. Spot yourself? Tag a friend.
I didn't pick the flashiest bot.
I picked the one I'd actually use tomorrow.
Kickoff winner: Day's follow-up bot.
You meet someone. Drop their email, LinkedIn, or business card in. It emails them for you and tracks who you already hit.
Runner-up shoutout to Willie @wiligent for Flight Watch.
Congrats Day @day__bliss. That's the build of the night.
300+ builders packed The DOCK for the Grok Bot Miami Kickoff, night one of the @spacexai Miami Community.
Same people. Bigger mission.
Thank you @ethantroy (SpaceXAI), @palmalabs_ai and @thelabmiami
Challenge winners announced later today.
Miami has the builders.
The best rooms aren't the ones with the most people. They're the ones where someone like @ethantroy walks in and changes the whole feel of it.
the kick off of grok @bot miami with @BenMilshtein and @thelabmiami
it was great talking to the community about all the things they’re building with grok bots 🙌
There's a new version of this post
Miami showed up for the most electrifying meetup in town.
Live @bot demos. Real questions.
Thanks to speakers @ethantroy from @spacexai and Andres. To our world-class partners @palmalabs_ai and @thelabmiami.
Just getting started. Follow @benmilshtein.

Before you automate everything, get one AI Bot to do one job well.
My 47-second Grok Bot demo for our Miami community kickoff:
Create a Bot.
Define its role.
Test one small task.
Review the result.
