Solving and creating business problems through software.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

I find one interesting outcome of the AI age is that engineers leveraging AI tooling are increasingly building tools they want, not just tools they need. Time no longer being a constraint, excellence can much more easily.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

My only nit with grok @bot is that routines more often than not don't fire on schedule or not at all.

Used Opus 5 for the first time at work in a couple weeks and asked it to summarize my thoughts a little more formally. It instead argued with my thoughts and told me I should think differently about the problem.

Just found out that @actualbudget released a new CLI tool for their budgeting software in July. Love this!!!

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

Literally anything you do with a computer that you want to delegate. Caught me up on my budget software that I neglected for 5 months. Now it keeps it up to date daily. Also, saved me $300 a month by suggesting subscriptions to cancel, then actually cancelled the accounts. I come up with new things to automate daily.

Grok @bot "Library’s in. You’re a Cosmere completionist who actually finishes 40-hour series, and a graveyard of book-ones you never continued. Checking the real holes before I spend those credits on the wrong sequel."

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

Grok bot has helped a lot being an expat living in a Spanish speaking country. I have grok keep an eye on my emails in Spanish and summarizing anything that might require my attention. I speak Spanish, but it takes focus and time to truly read some of these emails and respond appropriately.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

Depends on whether you want grok bot / cursor and the ability to use other models as well. If it's purely that you want access to grok build then I would go with the $30 a month plan. I haven't seen any of our employees hit the token limits on that plan for normal day-to-day use. If you already push hard, go with heavy.

@vyrotek Great photo!

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

@getsome_air How does this work in Air and disallowed in other projects like OpenCode?

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

To think that @jetbrains Space quit too soon now that we're where we are industry-wise and with all the GitHub issues. It likely would be sitting on peak stability / maturity at this point and ripe for a big swing of users.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

@GergelyOrosz Familiar story for most engineers on Azure. You can't tell me the instability isn't related to the process of migrating everything there.

@Venkydotdev Commodity

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

@vansh22b Yay you posted garbage to beat the algorithm to push your sales product when translated to Spanish means “or to lie” which seems quite fitting actually.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

@rubengarciajr Already did. Don’t miss it.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

Finding that a pilot with some of our heaviest users on grok build with the $30 business subscription isn't hitting any limits and the feedback has been 100% positive and users appreciate not having to negotiate for more tokens budget-wise since the pilot started. Even our UX employees feedback has been positive that it hasn't hurt their productivity or quality. Compared to Claude Code enterprise costs this is seemingly a slam dunk, though admittedly it's too early to call.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

Love that you built your own harness. Gives you a deep understanding of the end-to-end system you're running. Based on your screenshot and the marketing material (the cheap seats) you need a toggle for "keep it simple" and "engineering mode". Grok Bot doesn't have the engineering mode, but keeping it simple they have in spades. Your docs describe the setup, but do little to emphasize your "where the agentic work is going to happen". Part of what led me to finally try with grok bot is it doesn't feel like another harness I have to ramp up on and develop a skill for because there's a LOT of that as you already know. It made approachability much easier to try out. I will eventually give Netclaw a trial for sure. I've been wanting to since you got started.

[Corey Kaylor @katokay]

@Aaronontheweb Yeah, I see a bit opportunity for exactly this kind of thing for our marketing department. We have a really solid team and performance, but so much of that flow is manual and this kind of system makes it SUPER easy and automatic.

@Aaronontheweb The more I use it the more ideas I have. It will be interesting to fast forward and look back at how much it makes me, simply because things don't get neglected. I won't be surprised if I see at least a 5% increase on my 401k conservatively.
