his whoop logged 0.3 strain. brodie would've texted him to take the stairs

[Rishikesh📱 🏊‍♂️ @RustyRishii]

I saw a person wearing whoop band today in office.

He took a lift to the first floor.

[James @jamesinstealth]

it already works. people text brodie a lift video and get back a form breakdown, a score, and where they rank against their friends. no app to download. the best consumer AI might just be a contact in your phone

send him a set @ https://t.co/nlS27Y5lsB

you know if you really think about it apple may have accidentally stumbled upon a huge new business with imessage agents.

imessage is a potentially huge ai platform opportunity for apple in some sense (assuming this behavior actually works in the long term which is still a big non trivial if).

imessage apps mostly didn't hit, but imagine a store of agents that apple curates & allows? imagine the api's apple could facilitate here. accessing health through imessage agent securely & safely? no problem. accessing contacts? no problem. accessing location in an agent friendly way? no problem. payments for agents? no problem. subscription payment for using agents? no problem.

imessage agents could be the new app store if you will for discovery & access for both developers & users, just like the original app store. if jobs were alive, you can kind of picture the keynote for this. lots of implications/nuances for both iphone & apple's overall business but obviously very fun to think about.

this should be a topic of discussion for apple leadership if not already. there is a giant moat here for apple that it can uniquely make work.

brodie facetimes you when you're chudding out and actually makes sure you're doing real pushups

TODAY I LET GROK BOT MAKE EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL FOR ME, AND I CAN’T F*CKING BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED

I decided to run an experiment.

Yesterday Elon posted that Grok Bot can now call people and businesses for you, make a request on your behalf and send you a summary of the conversation.

So I tested it on my real life. Here’s how my day went:

→ INTERNET PROVIDER: I told my bot my bill was too high.

It called, sat through the menu, asked to be transferred to retention and calmly said I was thinking about switching. 28 minutes later: $35 off every month.

Then it did something I would never think of: it asked about hidden fees and made them confirm the new price by email. I just read the live transcript like a Netflix show.

→ GYM MEMBERSHIP: the one you can “only cancel by phone”.

They tried to keep me three times. A discount, a free month, a “pause instead”. My bot said no to all of it, got the cancellation confirmed and sent me the confirmation number.

I’d been too lazy to deal with it for two weeks straight. Grok Bot just handled it for me.

→ BARBER: I needed a fresh cut before the evening.

My bot called my barber and booked me for 5 PM. He chatted with it like with a regular client, said “see you later, bro” and hung up.

He still doesn’t know he was talking to a bot.

→ AND THEN IT GOT CRAZY: I asked it to plan a date.

First it called a restaurant and booked a table for two at 8 PM. Then it called my girlfriend and invited her to dinner, at the exact place it had just booked.

She said yes. Then she texted me “did your AI just ask me out?”

Total: almost 2 hours on the phone today. I spent 0 of them.

This update is absolutely insane, and I’m still in shock from this experiment. Calls were the last thing I still had to do myself. Now Grok Bot does them better than I do.

Bookmark this so you can try the same experiment yourself.

And I broke down all the latest major Grok Bot updates in my article below ↓

[James @jamesinstealth]

@Charles_Zheng00 1k to 150k in 2 weeks is insane. what's the one format that did most of it?

[James @jamesinstealth]

@lucyjcai binary search on a rice cooker button is the most engineer thing a robot has ever done. if astra can portion it too my macros are solved

[James @jamesinstealth]

@ericzxchen @figma @zoink running figma in figma is the most unhinged flex of the year. respect

[James @jamesinstealth]

@andrewdsouza and the days it feels easy are usually the days you didn't push. same rule in the gym

[James @jamesinstealth]

@harpreetd14 @ycombinator congrats on the launch. 17% more per mile is the kind of number that ends the is-AI-real debate

[James @jamesinstealth]

@suno ex-suno here, still the most fun product i've worked on. next: a mode that matches the beat to my rep tempo so i stop rushing the eccentric

[James @jamesinstealth]

@KimAdams same bet here. our coach drops a scorecard right into the imessage thread instead of sending you to a dashboard. intent first, the ui shows up when it's useful

[James @jamesinstealth]

@NWischoff the ones that last won't be assistants. nobody keeps an assistant, people keep a coach who texts at 6am asking why they skipped legs

[James @jamesinstealth]

@nateobrienn raising for brodie. AI personal trainer you text or facetime, it watches your lifts and fixes your form. happy to send you the 40 sec demo

[James @jamesinstealth]

@anah_sahh an AI personal trainer you text a lift video, it texts back what you're doing wrong and where you rank against your friends

[James @jamesinstealth]

the ai personal trainer is here. you text a video of your lift. brodie texts back a personalized breakdown of what to improve, what’s working, a score, and where you rank against your friends

[James @jamesinstealth]

@juampitech good timing

[James @jamesinstealth]

@ajaymisraaa congrats on the launch. every useful agent hits a paywall within three steps, one key for all of it is the unlock

[James @jamesinstealth]

@justinsunyt @capydotai endgame is two agents arguing in slack while both founders are at the gym

[James @jamesinstealth]

@madsf88 do it. film the thing you already do every day and post it raw. the polished stuff never hits like the real stuff
