My goal on 𝕏 is 10,000 real connections. I want to connect with: 1. AI agent builders 2. Founders and solo builders 3. High-agency people 4. Sales and marketing folks 5. Dads building on the side 6. AI-curious people If that's you, say hi below 👋

Maturing is realizing that spending your Friday night indoors with your kids and a Nintendo Switch 2 brings more peace than being outside 🤝

Hey @grok, how much money do you need to start a business in the US today? Be honest.

My employees.

In 2022 I was 32, newly separated, and starting over as a single dad. This is today.

Grok Bot gives me more value than all my other app subscriptions combined.

What is your recommended AI tool for running a business with zero employees...

My daughter picked her word for a vocabulary event at school. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. It means the fear of long words. Yes. The word for being scared of long words is one of the longest words out there. Whoever named it has a mean sense of humor. She is supposed to teach younger kids big words. She went straight for the boss level. I asked how she found it. She just shrugged. You try to say it. Hip-po-pot-o-mon-stro-ses-qui-pe-da-li-o-pho-bi-a.

17 days ago, I had 39 followers. Right now at 5 AM, I have 1,522 followers. All I did was: - 10 posts per day - 73 replies per day - reply to everyone - 1 post with a clear goal: 10,000 real connections (21,159 views) You don't need a plan to start. Post what happened today.

Every corporate employee tonight is quietly hoping Outlook stays down until Monday. Microsoft's latest update: "We're identifying alternate workstreams that can be applied to increase capacity in the face of sustained traffic management imbalances." I asked my AI to translate. "Still broken. We're trying something else."

METAL SONIC JUST WENT FROM VILLAIN TO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN 13 SECONDS. My kids and I lost our minds.

5 things that made my life better that I wish I did sooner: 1. Remote work. I do school drop-off, pickup, and sick days myself. 2. 4 hours of focus work right after drop-off. 3. A workout around 12 PM, right after that focus block. 4. A cold, dark bedroom with my phone charging across the room. 5. A team of AI bots, each one helping with a different part of my life. Most of it was just a better routine. What would you add?

Is hiring a video editor still a thing?

Want more revenue? Respond to your leads faster. In September 2026, Clay's AI agents filled out 6,346 demo and contact forms and timed the replies. Two-thirds of companies never wrote back. Only 7% got a reply from a salesperson. Here's how I speed it up. First, I set an SLA with the sales team. It says how fast they reach out to anyone who shows interest. Then I connect Grok Bot and Claude to the tools we already use, like the CRM, email, and Slack. - A new lead comes in and the right rep gets a ping right away. - The bot pulls a quick summary of who the lead is. - If no one reaches out in time, it flags it. No one has to sit and refresh the inbox. The sooner you get back to someone, the better your chance of closing them.

Running a business solo and being a parent just got a lot simpler. My bots can now handle my reminders, calendar, notes, and texts on my Mac.

Hey @grok, which 3 daily tasks should a busy parent hand off to AI to make life simpler this week? Rank them.

What's the first step you'd take if you had to start over today...

Grok Bot and Claude users: what would you miss if you cancelled today? One task you'd have to start doing yourself again. What is it?

16 days ago, I had 39 followers. Right now as of 6 AM, I have 1,357 followers. All I did was: - about 6 posts a day - a thoughtful reply to everyone - 1 honest intro post (13K views) - 1 goal post for 10,000 real connections (10.7K views) Showing up every day is enough. Tell people what you're building this week.

X is pretty amazing. The people here are builders, founders, and curious minds. Most of them share what they know for free. That's how I keep learning new skills with Claude and Grok Bot. They make my life simpler and help me make more money. I recently made a video that would have cost thousands in the past. I learned how to do it from people here who showed their process. I've also talked with people I've watched and listened to for years. Noah Kagan. Andrew Huberman. That still feels a little unreal. So I try to give back the same way. I share what I think and what I learned. I hope it helps someone. If you're new here, follow the people who teach. Reply to them. Then share what you learn. The right people find you when you keep showing up.

Is paying for online courses still a thing? Most of what I use to build my business came from free stuff. Alex Hormozi's YouTube videos taught me offers and content. I learned my best Grok Bot tricks from posts on 𝕏. Cleaning up my inbox. Freeing up storage. Finding leads. Then I tried it all on real client work and my personal life. Have you bought one this year, or do you learn on YouTube and 𝕏 now?
