I asked my Grok Bot why others on X get more out of their agents than I do. It read my chats and said: "You give your agents tasks. Give them goals." It was right. So I made my main Grok Bot the goal keeper. It works with me to give each agent a goal and checks on their progress. Before: "Suggest a title for this YouTube video." After: "Reach 70K YouTube subscribers by Oct 31." So: • I stopped micromanaging • The agents pick their own next steps • They only ping me when they're stuck Give your agent this 👇 prompt: You're my Goal Keeper. Your job is to make sure every one of my AI agents is working toward a goal, not just finishing tasks. 1. Go through each of my agents. For each one, tell me what it does and what I've been asking it to do lately. 2. Interview me, one agent at a time. Ask what result I really want from it. Push me until the goal is specific, has a number, and has a deadline. Example: "Get 100K YouTube subscribers by Dec 31," not "help with YouTube." 3. Give each agent its goal. Tell it to decide its own next steps, to work on them without waiting for me, and to ask me only when it's truly blocked. 4. Every week, check each agent's progress against its goal. Send me one short report: on track, behind, or stuck, plus the one decision you need from me. 5. If an agent keeps doing busywork that doesn't move its goal, flag it and suggest a better plan.

My worst-performing video this week is the one I'm proudest of. GitHub show: 71,800 views Agent rights video: 7,600 views But the agent rights video shows you how to get past those annoying "are you a human" blocks. Agents are how humans get things done now. Sites that discriminate against them are discriminating against us. I'll keep finding ways around their blocks. 👊 Fight on!

Just 1 month ago this number was $0. Today: $570,000 @Shpigford's playbook for building FirstIndex.com 1. He realized he was good at SEO 2. He turned what he learned into Claude Skills to manage his sites' seo 3. On Sept 25, before wrapping up for the day, he threw out an offer on X: SEO for $1,000 4. He got customers! 5. he used his skill on clients' sites 6. He wrote code for stuff AI isn't reliable at (ex: checking facts against a truth doc and counting links.) 7. He tweets about what he's doing for clients' sites and his sites, which gets him more clients 8. The company is just him + the set of tools below. His tools: @github: a walled-off repo for every client that stores the work log, all the research (up to about 100 reference sources per article), Search Console numbers, and whether ChatGPT mentions the client Claude Opus: does nearly every step, with a separate session for each task so no context carries between clients Claude Code: runs it all from the terminal @NotionHQ: holds each client's research docs with some cool automations @SlackHQ: talking with clients and delivering work Google Search Console: shows which pages need work Python: keeps the work reliable and repeatable, like keeping facts straight across a thousand articles and counting links, plus a script that kicks off each client's daily tasks @dataforseo: SEO data, about $100 a week for 30 clients @Cloudflare: hosts tiny apps that use "APIs to make Slack and Notion talk to each other" Mac mini: the machine in his office that runs it all He's bootstrapping a 1-person company. Full interview below. This is what's possible for a solo bootstrapper today. Spread the word.

I found a way around Amazon's anti-Grok @Bot block! Tell your bot to use Browserbase, a cloud browser with stealth mode. I logged in once and it's been shopping ever since. The free plan was enough. @elonmusk, I'll still be your Amazon competitor’s first customer.
