🚨 Grok Bot users on $200 Ultra are getting squeezed twice this week.
First the weekly pool. One user went to bed at 28% and woke up near 60%.
Now users are reporting their Bots refuse local Claude Code and Codex, push them to Cursor Cloud, and some hit a demand for credits.
So you burn the pool. Then you pay again to code.
Who thought this was a good move?
Claude Code and Codex win either way. People will just run them without the Bot.
Let our Bots use the tools we already pay for. And show us what's burning the pool.
It's time Grok Bot users get heard.

🚨 HOT TAKE ALERT 🚨
This is "best model for the job" coming back to bite.
Grok Bot picks the best model for each task, and sometimes that's Claude Opus 5.5. Now Elon says Grok Bot cost too much to serve for what it brings in.
This is exactly why Grok 4.8 matters so much. xAI needs its own model doing the heavy lifting, not paying for Opus.
In my opinion, this hit people NOT on the unified X Subscription way harder than people on it. Mine looked normal all week.
Unpopular opinion: Grok Bot was underpriced with “best model for the job” and we all knew it.

I don't build my Grok Bots anymore. A Bot builds them for me 🤯
It's called Dr Eggbot, and every Bot I run came out of it.
@poteto just shared the full playbook. 17K+ people saved it 👇
✅ Add Dr Eggbot, describe the job, and it designs the Bot
✅ A few good Bots beat a big team
✅ Teach it a task, then tell it to save that as a skill
✅ Give it your connectors and the Vault so it does the work, not just talks about it
✅ Anything you copy and paste back to it, ask how it can do that itself
✅ Onboard it like an intern. Tell it who you are and what you do
The tip I'd steal first:
Brain dump the job by voice. Then say "restate this in your own words" before it builds anything.
The catch 🛑 Routines get expensive fast. Hourly at most, and filter events before a trigger fires.
I cut my Bots in half. The 5 I kept all get used.
Save this 🔖
here’s a short grok bot guide on how i create high quality bots and manage my team. ask @bot to read this post and help you improve your team!
• add dr eggbot to your team! he’s my bot designer that i use to create bots
• you don’t need a lot of bots. a few good bots can be more useful and easier to manage than a large team
• tell your bots to create skills for itself as you give it instructions on how to do tasks. this lets them do them more consistently even over long conversations. you can even ask it to create a private github repo for you to store all your skills if you want them preserved independently
• add connectors, use the vault, and give access to all the tools you use to do your work. you can also ask your bot to setup its own email and it can sign up for its own accounts for better separation
• thinking about all the work you do by hand, or steps in your workflows where you have to copy and paste information back to your bot. ask your bot how it can do that for you instead!
• imagine you hired an intern, how would you onboard them and help them do the work correctly and efficiently? introduce yourself to your bot and describe the work you do, then ask it how it can help you automate it
and my favorite tip: use voice mode or the transcription option! it’s a good way to just brain dump a lot of information. then, at the end, tell your bot to “restate this in your own words” so you can confirm it understood you

One prompt and Grok Bot learns to write like you 👀
Nat from @alpha_founders typed this:
"Create a skill to write like me for emails and other places. Use my emails to train yourself."
It read 120 of his sent emails and wrote the skill. Direct. Warm. No padding. Most emails 1 to 3 sentences.
Now every email and doc it drafts uses that skill.
Steal the prompt. Then open the skill and fix whatever it got wrong.

Elon says Grok Bot can now make calls for you 📞
I updated to 0.77. Calls aren't on for my account yet. My Bot offered to send it through Bland instead 👀
The next step? Give it a phone NUMBER 📱
With its OWN number, you text your Bot like a person. It texts the business, handles the back-and-forth, and texts you back when it's done.
Here's what a number adds 👇
✅ Its own US phone number
✅ You text it from your phone, like a friend
✅ It texts businesses and handles the replies
✅ It takes calls on the same number it calls from
The trick is giving it a goal:
"Text [business] and [task]. Confirm the time and the price."
Skip the goal and the replies go generic. Save that line 🔖
The catch: $14.99 the first month, then $29.99/mo. US and Canada only, one call at a time, fair use applies.

This is criminally underrated 👀
Your Grok Bot can open files on YOUR computer. Not its computer. Yours 💻
Here's how to set it up 👇
1. Open the Grok Bot desktop app
2. Settings → Computer → Execution on this computer
3. Pick how much it asks first
@moritzkremb asked his: "Grab the latest file from my Downloads folder and draft an email."
It found the file. The draft was waiting in Gmail ✅
Try it with yours:
"Grab the newest file in my Downloads folder and put it in a Gmail draft. Don't send it."
The fine print:
→ Your computer has to be on and awake
→ It asks before every command by default, and auto-review still checks first
Save this for the next time you're dragging files into chat 🔖

Why is nobody talking about this? 👀
Your Grok Bot can make your phone calls for you. And you can try it for FREE 🆓
Connect it to Bland and you get free credits to start. Zero cost to test it.
Tell it what you want once:
✅ "Bring my fiber bill back down"
✅ "Get the other $100 back from the spa"
✅ "Get money off my internet bill"
✅ "Cancel the old pet-store autoships"
It stays on the line, works the retention desk, and comes back with the money 💰
50 minutes on the phone. NONE of them yours.
It costs you nothing to try. Save this and set it up this weekend 🔖

🚨BREAKING🚨
Grok Bot's next update just got spotted and it's BIG 🤯
Soon you'll be able to gift a friend 2 weeks FREE. And share ONE of your Bots with anyone by email.
Found in the newest early build (h/t @Kevin_Logan). Not live yet 👀
🎁 Your own "Gift Grok Bot" link
📤 Send it on X or by email
📊 A counter shows every friend who redeems it
Now the part nobody's talking about 👇
You invite someone to ONE Bot. Not your account. Not your other Bots. Just that one.
Picture it:
📞 Your call-prep Bot, shared with your assistant
📊 Your weekly report Bot, handed to a client
🧾 Your invoice Bot, handed to your bookkeeper
And you stay in control:
⏳ Invites expire
🚫 Revoke them anytime
🔢 There's a cap on how many you send
My read: Bots are about to get passed around like apps. Build the one worth sharing NOW, before everyone has the link 🚨
Who's getting your first gift? 👇

You put Claude Code on your Grok Bot. Now make Codex check its homework 🤯
One AI builds. A DIFFERENT AI tears it apart. Your Bot runs both 🔥
Why it works: an AI checking its own work has the same blind spots that caused the mistake. A different model was trained differently, so it catches what the first one walked right past. Same reason writers need editors ✍️
@KacperRutk tried it on his booking site. Codex found 3 problems that would stop people from booking and fixed them in about a minute.
And it goes easy on your usage 📉 The coding runs on Claude Code and Codex's own plans. Kacper's Grok Bot usage held at 44% while they worked.
One builds, one checks. Make it your default.

If it's free, YOU are the product 👀
Meta Muse has a $0 plan. Grok Bot starts at $30.
Now look at what each one says it may link to your name 👇
🚨 Meta Muse: 13 categories
Health. Financial info. Location. Your contacts. Browsing AND search history. Purchases. Even "Sensitive Info."
🔥 Grok Bot: 5
Contact info. Your content. Identifiers. Usage. Diagnostics.
Apple only HAS 14 categories. Muse checked 13 of them 🤯
"Sensitive Info" is Apple's bucket for things like your religion, political views, sexual orientation and biometrics.
Grok Bot isn't zero either. "Your content" is everything you type into it.
Check any app in 10 seconds:
App Store → the app → scroll to App Privacy 🔍
Using Muse anyway? Turn off "Help improve our AI models" in Data Controls.

This is absolutely unreal 🔥
The #1 voice model in the world is already inside your Grok Bot 🤯
Grok Voice 3.0 just dropped. It now powers Grok Bot's voice mode.
Here's what it's packing 👇
🏆 #1 on Artificial Analysis's Speech-to-Speech Index (86.9)
⚡ Talks back in under a second
☎️ Starlink runs it on 20,000 support calls a day. About 70% never need a human.
It didn't sweep everything. On the noisy, interrupt-heavy support call test, GPT-Live-1 edged it 74.5% to 71.6%.
But it answers with 40% less lag 🚀
Open your Bot and hit voice mode. Then tell me if you can hear the difference 👇

STOP SCROLLING 🛑
This is the craziest thing I've seen all week 🤯🔥
Claude Code can now control your Grok Bots.
Yesterday Claude Code moved INTO your Bot.
Today it's giving the orders 👀
The agents are talking to each other now 🔥
The Kid Builds retweeted
X isn't a social app anymore 🤯
Your X account is about to be the most powerful AI subscription you own.
Look at what's stacking up:
💳 Leak: ONE X subscription with Grok, Grok Bot AND Cursor inside
🔎 Your Grok Bot can search, read AND monitor X. Every user.
🧠 That Bot is about to tap Claude Opus 5.5 too
📬 It even gets its OWN email address (rolling out)
🧭 Grok Bot sits right in X's menu
The feed. The data. The AI. The coding agent.
ONE login 🔥
Every other AI app is a tab. X is turning into the whole browser.
Do NOT sleep on this 🚨

This is HUGE 🚨
Your Grok Bot can now get its OWN email address 📬
One prompt. No plugin. No Gmail login.
Type this:
"claim email for me [yourname]"
You get [email protected] 👀
What to use it for:
📥 Forward it newsletters and receipts to sort
🔑 Give it its own address for sign-ups
🤝 Let other agents hand it tasks by email
Rolling out now. Not on mine yet. Check yours 👇
Grok Bot is crazy, man. You can claim your email with literally one click. I just did it.
And I also set up cross-channel communication between my Hermes Agent and Grok Bot. They can now hand off tasks and work with each other over email.
This is literally two different agents getting shit done for me now.
The Kid Builds retweeted
Grok Bot just leveled up 🚀
The best part of Grok is now inside Grok Bot.
Real-time X search was always Grok's superpower. Now your Bot can search, read AND monitor X 👀
No connector. No setup. EVERY user.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill, the Dot. The story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. A cute beret. Memories you can't open. One company's models. I'll handle everything.
You take the red pill, the Grok Bot. You stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Routines. Bots that work together. And now, the best model for every job. Claude Opus 5.5. Midjourney. Suno.
Remember. All I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.
