everyone spent ten years learning to code and it turns out the terminal skill was english composition. the machine will do anything you tell it. the only thing left between you and what you want is whether you can form a clear thought and put it into words
the early days of grok bot were a lot of fun! we iterated quickly, killed what didn't work and improved on what ppl liked.
onboarding ppl manually gave us huge signal! i remember the first few onboardings were really painful, but it forced us to create a more simple and intuitive product
Grok @Bot is the hottest new AI product in the world right now. I'm absolutely hooked.
It all started a few months ago as a tiny team holed up in a separate part of the office, building from scratch.
Four weeks after the first line of code, the whole company was obsessed. Three weeks later, it launched to the world. Less than a month in, millions of Grok Bots are already helping people get work done.
Roman Ugarte (@romanugarte_) incubated, launched, and now leads product for Grok Bot. This is the first time he's told the story:
🔸 Why they started fresh instead of building it into Cursor
🔸 The two non-obvious bets that made it such a success
🔸 What they learned from manually onboarding the first 200–300 users
🔸 Why they spent the weeks before launch *unshipping* features
🔸 The first prompt to try when you open it

The @bot team has been been poring over the harness the past 2 weeks and we've found many opportunities to improve our routing, caching, dynamic context usage, and overall token efficiency.
Your usage should go much further now. On average 10%, and up to 35% more effective usage for certain heavy users.
And we're not done optimizing. Can't wait to see what you get up to over the long weekend!

Grok Bot has changed how I work more than any product I’ve ever used.
I trust them to handle tasks that I’d never been able to trust other AI tools to do.
Incredibly excited to get Bots out to our enterprise customers.
Try it out for 2 weeks on us!
Crazy that it’s only been 3 weeks since we launched Grok Bot.
Here’s a look at how we designed v1, and a glimpse of where we’re headed next.

We’ve partnered with @cursor_ai to give cloud agents a real computer.
With Namespace Devboxes, you can now natively spin up a Mac or Linux environment for each Cursor cloud agent, with Windows coming soon.
You can now run Cursor cloud agents on your infrastructure, including pools of machines that automatically scale with demand.
This lets you give agents access to internal services or specialized hardware, while the agent loop stays in Cursor.
