I think I may have found a promising alternative to Grok Bot. Worried about all the usage issues going on. It's called @rakazobot – has anyone tried it? rakazo.com

I’ve been waiting for something like this to come out. Surprised it has taken so long. Will be interesting to see if this is the beginning of a trend…

Ah! My Apple watch and iPhone battery were suddenly dying way too quickly and I finally figured out why! The ChatGPT app launched a new live activity that showed everything happening on an open session. Cool, but not overly useful. Turning it off drastically improved my battery life on both devices.

Love love love the new feature in Grok Bot that allows you to run bots from shortcuts – I’m using it everywhere. But I am constantly running into issues. It becomes useless when it’s not reliable… I’ll type something and send it through the shortcut and then lose it all. 🙁 Grok @bot team please fix!

I went from "no way am I paying for another subscription" to Grok Bot being the first app I open every single day. Check out my latest video on YouTube for the full story and an overview of how I use Grok Bot. youtu.be/5HSwKbC7W6s

Finally off the waitlist for Claude Duet. Excited to try it out, but honestly haven’t been too excited about it after being all in on Grok Bot. Worried about their lack of a robust voice model, too. We shall see… more to come soon!

It finally happened! I mean, let’s hope 🤞 Reservation for later this afternoon. Can’t wait to be part of the club!

Your ChatGPT Plus plan just got an AI that can actually use your computer for you… SUPER CHEAP!! OpenAI's new GPT 6.1 Terra reads your screen and takes action across apps, and they say it matches their bigger model at a tenth of the price... rolling out now. This is huge.

Will Grok @bot ever go multiplayer? I know there are team bots… but if I could, for instance, have a group chat with my wife and one of my bots. Or my bot talks to her bot… That’d be so cool! 🙏 🙏 🙏

More than 1 in 4 people using Muse (Meta's AI agent) have already bought something through it Zuck shared that with Meta's earnings and wow, I kind of assumed people would be way more nervous about letting an AI spend their money (especially Meta)... are we already there?? 🤔

Most people I know use ChatGPT like a fancy Google... ask, copy, paste, repeat. The jump is trusting an agent enough to just hand it the work (no homework back). First issue of Things to Try With AI is all about that and it goes out today! derrickfromzero.beehiiv.com/

I was so sure I'd never switch to Grok @bot... now I'm all in. When it first came out I was like no way, I'm sticking with Hermes because I can make it whatever I want (same with Codex/Claude Code). But it's really nice having someone else think about the harness so I'm not constantly chasing the latest skill or plugin for computer use, browser control or routines. It just works. And you can tell the team is all in on this.

Ever get an AI graphic that's almost perfect but fixing one word means starting over? Seems like that's kind of solved now. Coco Labs' Vyb builds marketing graphics from your website with every piece on its own layer, so you just swap the headline and move on... huge time saver 🙌

Your AI should be doing work for you while you sleep, not handing you homework. What gets you there isn't a better prompt, it's trust... that's when it stops being a fancy Google and starts making you money. More in my newsletter, first issue talking all about this drops tomorrow. derrickfromzero.beehiiv.com/

I never watched Ghostbusters as a kid, but as an adult… watching it… it’s really not a good movie…
