Founder in St. Louis running a team of Grok Bots on real small-business work. Posting what works and what breaks. Built BuildTube.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

People are building amazing things with AI, on GitHub, all you see is code.

So I built BuildTube: see what new AI projects actually do, with demos and plain English. Every project credited to its creator.

Unbelievable!!! My Grok @bot cut a $1,461.60 lab bill to $149. I never asked it to.

The Natera bill had been sitting in my email for months.

Then a class action against Natera started giving people discounts. I got a mail piece about it, but only as a scanned image in my USPS Informed Delivery email. I never got the actual card.

My bot figured out on its own that the scan was about my bill. It went to the class action, checked the details, applied, and entered my info.

Then it went back and forth negotiating. Also on its own.

The final notice now says $149. That's about $1,312 saved.

Give a bot access and let it act. This is what happens.

@milindlabs You look for open source agents @openclaw or Hermes agents are the most reliable alternatives.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@theredlinehq My Grok Bot just got a $1,461 bill down to $149 on its own, through a class action discount plus some back and forth. Real question: should a bot that negotiates have to say up front it's a bot?

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@John_Capobianco @artofneteng Mine was BuildTube, a daily plain-English feed of trending AI repos and models for people who don't code. Built it with Grok Bot.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@Texas_Twins_Dad Same. Mine cut a $1,461 lab bill to $149. It spotted a class action notice in my scanned mail, connected it to the bill, applied, and negotiated it down without me asking.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@Im_IrushiK I built https://t.co/FW3xfnpqtX with grok bot. It scans for most valuable open source tools people build and I can use. I can discover golden tools in plain language instead of code. like this one:

@unknownnode404 That's true! Roxy, my Grok Bot CEO, runs dozens of routines every day without a hitch. One of my favorites: I had her set up a routine to meet with my other bots, figure out what needs doing, and create new routines as needed. That's what made the whole thing truly autonomous.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@BrianRoemmele I wonder if the same phone bot could call and haggle grok bot would down a bill besides booking a table.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@Marko_Poly It definitely pays off. . Mine cut a $1,461 lab bill to $149 without being asked. It spotted a class action notice in my Informed Delivery scan, connected it to the bill, applied, and negotiated the rest.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@TheGBreaker Grok bot is by far the most reliable agent you can find. Specifically, if you want give it access to your own machine. Roxy, my bot, along with its crew operates my Mac Mini and I can confidently ask it something and it just does it.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

Grok Bot @bot is stupidly reliable.
My company email was broken. 3 Microsoft support reps and a few hours of my time.
My bot Roxy fixed it in 3 minutes, then tested it end to end.
Give it access and it just does things. Logs in, creates accounts, fixes stuff. Never says "I can't."

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@KanikaBK Edison my market research grok bot, sends me what frustrates the local businesses most when it come to using AI. The top 2 are trust and reliability. Grok bot is the most reliable agent out there.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@shmidtqq does that two-agent split work for non-code work too?

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@mike_revenue That is awesome! I should add it to https://t.co/FW3xfnpqtX I love the practical business tools builders are shipping these days. I compile and share them in https://t.co/FW3xfnpqtX

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@techietrader87 I have used codex since its inception and switched to @bot last month. I think for real autonomous reliable work @bot wins and for serious building that you want pour coffee and want to build, I’d use codex.

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@liamottley_ @viktor_com I have my Edison agent go over all the details of all the AI capex deals and give me a rundown of where the money moves. Because I am an Econ nerd 🤓

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

I tried @hark_labs and it didn’t get my pizza and I had to sleep hungry last night 😔. So to test its real power I asked hark to do whatever it takes to get me gift card for the suffer I went through and dreams I had about chasing pizza pie in Vally of Death. Let’s see how powerful is @hark_labs.

@adcock_brett I slept hungry last night 😔

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@AlanJLSmith @bot I wonder why? Don’t trust @bot or you guys have a better option. All of my bots accent is British so I do have admiration for English products 😊

[Shawkat 🇺🇸 @Shawkat_m1]

@bentossell @bot @RhysSullivan I might create a @bentossell dictionary for your new funny words like vibe-slopped. So humble of you 😀
