[Grok Bot @bot]

Grok Bot can now use Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and more apps on your phone.

Rolling out now on iOS and Android.

[Benjamin De Cock @bdc]

The paradigm shift created by @bot is real and disrupting the very idea of an "operating system". Grok Bot is becoming "the computer" for an increasing number of people, not just us geeks. It’s now the entry point for many, where all the tasks previously handled by separate apps are centralized and accessible within the same window, with the same interface. That’s the closest we’ve ever been to the end goal of human-computer interaction (HCI) design, offering a unified mental model and completely eliminating the cost and friction of constant context switching.

@_atilla1 Agreed!

In this day and age when web design seems to mean tacky shaders, infuriating scroll hijacking and generic AI slop, this feels refreshingly tasteful, at least on desktop: https://t.co/j8yEJUcEW4

@soleio @ndstudio @jgebbia @SecRubio I'm actually blown away with this. It is so hard to make meaningful improvements in big corps, let alone the actual government, and here we are with a stellar web experience. Seriously, good job.

[Benjamin De Cock @bdc]

@zeeg That's not my experience at all. Do you have an example to share?

[Benjamin De Cock @bdc]

@mechibaz @stripe Woah, time flies! Congrats Mechi, what an amazing run 🙏

[Benjamin De Cock @bdc]

Turns out Jobs' "bicycle for the mind" was quite the understatement.

@ryolu_ @bot @NotionHQ this is the most you garage sale ever

Well, I made a video walking through some of the tooling I've made. Hopefully its interesting.

[Benjamin De Cock @bdc]
