Big Idea

The argument in one line.

Grok Bot's advantage over customizable agents like Hermes is that it removes nearly every configuration choice, runs each bot on its own cloud computer with scoped permissions, and has agents message each other by default, so a delegated 'chief of staff' setup can run most of a solo founder's recurring work with almost no setup.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

You already run one or more AI coding agents (Hermes, Claude Code, OpenClaw) and want a lower-maintenance option for day-to-day tasks that don't need deep customization.
You want to delegate real recurring work, like email triage, trend monitoring, or community moderation, to a fleet of specialized bots instead of one general assistant.
You're comfortable letting an AI agent's work happen on a cloud virtual machine rather than your own computer.

SKIP IF…

You need to choose your own model, run everything locally, or deeply customize an agent's reasoning process — Grok Bot intentionally removes that control.
You're looking for a single do-everything assistant rather than a team of narrow-context specialist bots.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Grok Bot is a multi-agent AI assistant that trades customization for opinionated defaults: no model picker, no local-vs-cloud choice, every bot gets its own cloud computer, and agents message each other automatically to pull context before acting. Setup is a 'brain dump to reverse prompt' sequence: tell a first 'chief of staff' bot who you are, then ask it to design your bot roster and routines. From there, specialized bots, a technical bot, a content bot, a community moderator, an email triager, an experimenter, each hold a narrow context so they stay fast and cheap. The conclusion is that Grok Bot handles daily knowledge work best, while a fully customizable tool like Hermes still earns a place in the stack for deep, model-specific customization.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

Grok Bot removes the hundred configuration choices other AI agent tools force on you, deciding the model, environment, and workflow itself so you just describe the task.
Every Grok Bot agent gets its own cloud computer, so permissions stay scoped to that agent instead of the user's real accounts.
By default, Grok Bot agents message each other to gather context before acting, instead of requiring the user to manually loop them in.
A single 'chief of staff' bot that delegates work to specialist bots scales better than talking to one bot with every skill crammed into its context.
The bigger an agent's system prompt gets, the slower, more expensive, and less accurate it becomes, so splitting work across narrow-context bots keeps each one sharp.
AgentMail gives each AI agent its own free email inbox, letting it hold its own accounts on tools like community platforms without ever touching the owner's login.
A 'brain dump to reverse prompt' process lets a new agent design its own bot roster: tell it who you are first, then ask what bots and routines it would build.
Routines in Grok Bot are just scheduled cron jobs that can be reverse-prompted the same way bots are.
Naming AI bots after human names instead of job titles like 'Coder' or 'Email' makes daily use more enjoyable and sustains regular use.
Grok Bot can't switch models, unlike Hermes, which can run on anything including a locally-hosted model such as Qwen on a home GPU.
A content-trend bot polling a handful of X accounts every 30 minutes can surface a competitor's launch the same day it ships.
Delegating email triage to an agent, sorting real sponsorship leads from scams, can solve a task a founder was actively avoiding at the volume creators receive.

Takeaway

How to set up a multi-agent Grok Bot fleet

WHAT TO LEARN

Zero-config, cloud-hosted agents that message each other automatically can take over real recurring work once you split responsibilities across narrowly-scoped bots instead of one do-everything assistant.

02Why Grok Bot is incredible

Opinionated defaults remove the choice paralysis of picking a model, environment, or thinking level for every task, which speeds up daily use for most people.
Running every bot on its own cloud computer creates a security boundary: an agent only gets access to what you explicitly hand it, not your whole account.
Automatic agent-to-agent messaging means one bot can gather context from another before acting, cutting out manual hand-offs.

03First things to do in Grok Bot

Pin a single 'chief of staff' bot to the top of your list so you have one place to route requests, even after you've added dozens of specialist bots.
The brain dump to reverse prompt sequence, tell the agent about yourself, then ask what it would build, removes the blank-page problem of setting up an agent system.
Give bots real human names instead of literal job titles like 'Coder' — it's a small change that measurably increases how much you enjoy using the system daily.

04Plugins

AgentMail gives every bot its own free email inbox, so you can invite an agent into a community or tool as its own account instead of sharing your login.
Plugins in Grok Bot unify MCP connections and skills into one panel, so a single install screen covers email, deployment, and third-party research skills alike.
A specialized trend-research skill can reverse-engineer social APIs to summarize what's trending on a topic, functioning as a research plugin rather than a separate tool.

05Use Cases

Splitting work across narrow-context bots keeps each bot's system prompt small, which keeps it fast, cheap, and accurate.
Recurring scheduled routines, checking a handful of accounts every 30 minutes, can surface a competitor's product launch the same day it ships.
Delegating community moderation to an agent with its own account lets it act as a real moderator without ever holding the admin's login.
An inbox-triage agent can separate real opportunities from scam email at the volume creators receive, turning a task the founder was actively avoiding into a solved problem.

06Hermes vs Grok Bot

A fully customizable agent still earns a place in the stack for tasks that need cheaper models or deep tinkering, so the right split is opinionated-tool for daily knowledge work and customizable-tool for anything requiring model control.

Glossary

Terms worth knowing.

Grok Bot: xAI's multi-agent AI assistant with a chat-based interface where each bot runs on its own cloud computer and bots can message each other automatically.
Hermes: A fully customizable AI agent tool that lets the user choose the model, choose whether it runs locally or in the cloud, and configure nearly every setting.
OpenClaw: Another customizable AI agent tool referenced as an alternative to Grok Bot for tasks that need deep configuration.
AgentMail: A free service that gives an AI agent its own email inbox and address, separate from the owner's personal or business accounts.
Reverse prompt: Asking an AI agent to propose its own setup, such as which bots or routines to create, based on context you've already given it, instead of configuring it by hand.
Brain dump: Feeding an AI agent unstructured background information about yourself before asking it to design a system, like a bot roster, around that context.
Routine: Grok Bot's term for a scheduled recurring task, equivalent to a cron job, that a bot runs automatically on a set interval.

Grockbot is the absolute best AI agent out there right now. If used correctly, you will have an entire fleet of AI agents working for you twenty four seven, three sixty five. In this video, I'm gonna show you how to set it up so you get the absolute most productivity from this incredible AI agent.

If you stick with me until the end of the video, you will have an army of AI agents taking care of your entire life for you all around the clock. Now let's lock in and get into it.

We're gonna cover everything in this video. We're gonna cover setting it up, setting up your first bots, first use cases, how I'm using it, should you rip out Hermes agent or OpenClaw or not. But first, I just wanna give you a quick update on why this is such an incredible AI agent.

Feel free to skip around down below if you wanna get the specific parts of the video. I've been using Rockbot literally nonstop for the past week now, and I just can't get enough of it. Every day, I discover new things, new ways to use it, better ways to automate my life.

If this is your first Rockbot video you're watching, this is what it looks like, by the way. It's basically like this kinda iMessage format where you have a list of bots over on the left hand side. These are completely custom bots.

You can name them, give them whatever picture you want, give them a title, description, and they all work together as a team. They communicate with each other.

They message each other. They have their own tools. Each one has their own computer.

So if you go to any of these agents, you can actually see the computer they can work on. These are fully working computers.

You can open up a browser, use them any way you want. Each bot you create has its own computer that lives in the cloud. It doesn't need to live on your computer, although it can control your computer if you'd like.

It's just a really, really amazing simple experience.

And because of this simple experience, I'm able to get so much more productivity done. But I'll go over this in a sec.

I'll go over how to set up each of these bots, what you should name them, what should they do, what roles should they be, what use case you should do. We'll go over that in a second, but here's the reason why it's so good. It is by far the best out of the box experience for an AI agent ever.

You literally just open it up. You download it. You install it.

You have your first bot, and you just get to work. You don't have to choose models.

You don't have to choose anything. It's just out of the box works. And I think for a majority of people out there, this is the ideal experience.

This is how AI agent should work. You shouldn't need to configure a 100 different things, give it a 100 different permissions, choose a different model for every single thing it does, choose a 100 different tools. It should just work.

Grockbot is the only AI agent I've used that just straight up works. It has extremely opinionated workflows more so than basically any other AI tool I've used in the world.

What does that mean extremely opinionated workflows? Basically, it's gotten rid of most of the customization that every other AI tool gives you.

For instance, with Hermes, you can choose whatever model you want. You can choose if it works in the cloud or if it works locally. You can choose if it uses sub agents.

You can choose the thinking level. You can choose the context window. You write everything you do as a 100 different choices you can make on how it does it.

Not with GrockBot. With GrockBot, it has an opinion on how you should do things. It doesn't let you edit all those things.

It decides what's the best way to do things and does it that way. I think this is a supremely better way to use AI tools.

95% of people that use AI tools don't wanna think about which model and context window and thinking level to do absolutely everything they do.

They just wanna give it a task, and then it does the task the best way. That's how GrockBot works. It's opinionated about everything.

Every other AI tool, oh, should I do this in the cloud? Should I do it locally? Should I do it in the terminal?

Should I do it in the desktop app? GrockBot just decides, no. We are going to do everything inside this virtual machine.

Everything these bots do will be on their own computer. And that kind of opinionated workflow makes using Rockbot so much simpler. It's cloud agent first.

Again, as I said, everything happens in the cloud computer. I'm gonna be honest. At first, I wasn't a huge fan going into this.

I just want all the work done on my computer. Why do I want everything done on the cloud that feels like there's, like, separation between me and what the bots are doing? But after using Rockbot for the last week and after all the work getting done in the cloud, I love it.

I'm cloud built. There's this natural security separation.

There's this natural scoping that happens when everything happens in the cloud. I don't have to worry about my bots having access to accounts they shouldn't have access to.

If I want a bot to manage a certain account, I just go on to their virtual computer and log in for them. I don't have to worry about them getting access to the wrong things. So I am a 100% cloud pilled now.

Zero config, as I said, you never decide which model to use. You never decide reasoning levels. None of that.

Hermes, you have a 100 drop downs for every single thing you do. With with Codecs, everything has a 100 different drop downs. You can figure how to do things.

None of that exists here. It's multi agent first. Again, I didn't know I needed this, but after using it, now I know I need it.

By default, every agent messages the other agent when it has work to do. What I mean by that is if I'm talking to my building agent, my coding agent, and I'm talking about, oh, can you code this thing that I tweeted about the other day?

It'll be, okay. Yeah. Let me check-in with your content agent and see what you tweeted about.

Right? It's by default things. Okay.

Who can I talk to to get the best context from them? And so you'll just be using your bots, and you'll see, oh, this bot messaged this bot. This bot messaged this bot.

And they all talk to each other just kind of by default, which is really amazing. Is like a thing you have to turn on with your other agents with GrockBot, just default. Really, at the end of the day, why it's so great is it just works with very little setup, with very little config.

It just works, and that's what makes GrockBot so good. Alright. So let's get into setting it up.

So we're gonna cover first things you should do in Grock Bot. We're gonna cover which bots you should set up. We'll cover a couple different use cases.

I'll cover everything I'm doing inside of my Grock Bot just maybe as a little inspiration for you. Then we'll cover, should you rip out Hermes? What should you leave for Hermes?

What should you leave for Open Claw? How do those two live together? Let's get straight into setup here.

So when you start your Grockbot experience, you will have one bot. I recommend making this your CEO, your chief of staff.

You right click it. You pin it to the top so it's always at the top. Then I would go into edit profile, and I would give it the title, chief of staff, CEO, whatever you want.

Here's why you want, like, a CEO, chief of staff bot because makes the entire Grok bot experience far simpler.

You're going to end up as you go adding more and more bots on your left hand side here. Right? And there's nothing wrong with that.

You're allowed to have I've seen people, like, literally, like, a 100 bots. You're allowed to have a lot of bots. There's nothing wrong with that.

But it might get annoying if you have to scroll through hundreds of bots and choose which one to talk to. That's why you want a CEO bot Because the agent to agent communication between the different agents is so good, you can just rely on talking to just one bot and allowing them to distribute the work, to delegate the work.

It'll figure out which bots have the right tools, the right plug ins, the right context, the right roles, and then delegate that work to the correct bots. So, yes, sometimes I still do talk directly to some of my other bots.

But most of the time, I just go to Slate and I say, hey. Here's what I wanna get done. Determine who should be doing this work.

And be like, oh, that's coding work. I'll give it to Build. Oh, that's this work.

Oh, that's oh, you're sending an email. I'm gonna give that to Cindy. It just makes it much easier for you to work with.

Also, by the way, a majority of people I see using GrockBot just, like, make the names of each of their bot, like content, email, coding.

Right? That's, like, the name of all their bots. I highly recommend against that.

I've been saying this for a long time. I think fun should be, like, a big part of using AI. Like, I think you should be having fun when using AI.

It'll make you use it more. It'll help you be more productive. It'll gives give you more joy as you use these tools.

I find it a lot more fun when you give your bots, like, real names. Now there's a couple exceptions here. Last thirty days is a skill from my friend Matt Van Horn.

We'll talk about that in a second. That just that set the name by itself. Builds okay.

That's not exactly a human name, but I'm gonna change that soon. But everything else is real names. It's a lot more fun when you're talking to your bots, and it feels like you're talking to human beings.

So as you set up these bots, I'd recommend giving them, like, real human names. It's just gonna be a lot more fun. You're gonna enjoy the process.

So when you're setting up your CEO bot, give it whatever name you want. The title is what shows up next to name.

So that's what it's gonna allow you to give it, like, human names, and then you can look at the title to see what it is. If you name your bot like Coder, it's just boring. But if you give it a real name and then you make the title like your CTO, then you can know what it is very easily by looking at your side here.

Then the description is basically the context that gets sent with every system prompt to the bot. You can start off with, like, a basic description of CEO for whoever you are.

I'm gonna go in a second and show you the easiest way to set up these descriptions, the bots, and all that. But just wanna make sure your first bot you have, you pin it to the top, give it a nice name, one you won't mind seeing over and over again.

Don't name it after your ex boyfriend, your ex girlfriend, and then title it your chief of staff. Once that's set up, we're gonna go into a world famous process I invented and talk about all the time, which is the brain dump to reverse prompt process. So this is the first thing I do with every single AI tool I get my hands on, every single AI agent I set up.

The brain dump to reverse prompt, this makes it so you don't have to think about setup. The AI does all of the thinking and setting up for you.

So step one, brain dump. You tell the agent all about yourself. We're gonna go into all our passions, goals, ambitions, what we wanna get rid of in our lives, what we wanna do more of in our lives.

You just brain dump it all in. Right after this, we're gonna do the reverse prompt, which is, hey. What can you do for me?

How would you set yourself up? What bots would you create? What routines would you create?

Basically, say, based on everything you know about me, what's the best way you can help me out? So first, put in your brain dump. I'm Alex Finn.

I'm the founder and CEO of Creator Buddy and Henry Intelligent Machines. I'm an entrepreneur and content creator. I have a YouTube channel on the x count that talks about AI.

I also have the Vibe Coding Academy, number one AI community on the Internet. By the way, join that full boot camp on Grockbot coming up. Join be a part of that.

You'll learn a ton. Link down below. You hit enter on that.

Your new CEO is gonna learn all about you. Then you do the reverse prompt I talked about. Based on what you know about me, how would you set up GrockBot?

Which bot should we set up? What should be their roles, responsibilities, and routines?

How can we maximize our productivity as much as possible? Then you hit enter on that, and it's going to recommend a bunch of bots to set up. The glorious thing about Grokbot is it can control itself.

So you can say, that's great. Set all those up for me. And then your CEO bot will go and actually create the bots, give the names, give the descriptions, the titles, and all that, and you'll be good to go.

That will give you a base of where to start with. There are many other things you wanna do here. So I'm about to go through the plugins, the tools you need.

We'll go through routines a little bit, and then I'll show you everything I'm doing so you can get inspired by some of these use cases and set them up for yourself. This plugin section in the bottom left here, this is basically like your MCPs, your tools, all that.

They just put them all in one place, which is really, really smart. Again, simplification, just making things work out of the box.

There's some basic ones you wanna set up, kinda self explanatory, Gmail and Google Calendar. I'd also highly recommend setting up X so you can pull posts very, very easily from X. It is great with social media content.

But here's the one I've actually liked the most, and this is one I highly recommend you set up yourself, and that is agent mail. We are not sponsored by agent mail. I just discovered them, like, three days ago, but it has made my Grock bot so much more powerful.

And I'd highly recommend you do the same thing here. Set up agent mail. It's completely free.

You get, like, three free inboxes with the free tier. But here's how I'd use it. Basically, what agent mail does is give your AI agents their own email address, like their own inbox, their own email address, everything really, really easily.

It's way better than setting up Gmail because when you set up new Gmail accounts, there's so much security and backup and and all this, like, complexity. AgentMail, you literally just sign up in, like, ten seconds. You have, uh, an inbox for all your agents.

But we're gonna use this inbox that you create with agent mail for all your agents so that when you invite them to your different accounts, they can just have their own account. You don't need to share your own accounts with them. So for instance, Dusty is my community manager for the Vibe Coding Academy.

Dusty answers people's posts, helps them out with technical questions, sends them DMs when they have questions, gives them recommendations for things to build, does a whole lot of amazing things.

But I don't have Dusty logged into my admin account in the Vibe Coding Academy in school. I invited Dusty to his own account. So as you can see here, this is Dusty's computer.

Inside of the computer, I invited Dusty, his agent mail email, to my community, and I made him moderator. Now he can do anything in my community he wants through his own computer.

So I don't give the bots my accounts. I don't give the bots access to anything. Everything is done through their own email address.

You just invite them to your team on whatever apps you're using, and then you give them whatever permissions they need. This is a way more secure way of interacting with your bots, giving them accounts, things like that. It keeps things separated, and using agent mail made it, like, a 100 times easier.

Again, we're not sponsored. I've never talked to anyone from agent mail in my entire life. I just discovered them over the weekend.

Just made working with my bot so much easier because they have now their own accounts. I can just say, hey. I invited you to my community through your agent mail account.

Go accept it, and now you're a moderator and go do things in there. And it just works and it does it. So agent mail, very important plug in everyone should be installing.

If do any sort of coding work, which I assume you do if you're watching this channel, Vercel plug ins, they must have. Makes it super easy for your bots to push code to Vercel, update your projects, things like that. So I'll also add Vercel as a plug in right here too.

One really cool thing about plug ins as well and the way GrockBot handles things is plug ins are basically everything. Right? As I said earlier, they're MCPs.

They're also skills. So I install skills, and they go into your plug ins as well.

So this is a really cool way to manage all your skills, MCPs, plug ins, everything in one place. I really recommend the last thirty day skill. This is made by my friend Matt Van Horn.

It is, like, the best researching skill out there. I'll leave a link to it down below. Basically, the way it works is you can give a topic or a subject, and it uses, like, the API for every single social media site on planet Earth.

It, like, reverse engineered all the APIs and gives you a rundown of what people are saying, how they're using it, the latest news, all of that. And it's, like, the best deep research when it comes to trends I've ever done.

So last thirty days still get that installed as well. It just makes, like, the research from your agent so much better. I'm having a research Cursor Origin now, which is Cursor's GitHub competitor.

If you want a video on that, let me know down below if you're interested. Also, let me know down below what parts of Grock Bot you're really interested in. I'll do, like, deep dive videos.

Want, like, a super duper use case video? I'll do that next if you want. Let me know down below.

Also, leave a like, subscribe, and turn on notifications if you learned anything at all so far. All I do is make amazing videos about AI. Join the FinFam.

Hit subscribe down below. Tons of amazing videos coming out very, very soon. So we talked about initial setup, reverse prompting, brain dumping.

We talked about the skills and plug ins you need installed. What I'm gonna do now is I'll go through my use cases. I'll go through my bots right here.

You can go ahead and steal any of my use cases I'm doing or maybe just inspires you on different things you can be doing with Rockbot as well. So the first bot I use a ton is Build. Build is like my network slash coder.

Basically, does all my technical work for me. If you're anything like me, have a bunch of different devices. Maybe you have your iPhone, your iPad, you have a computer, maybe a Mac mini, maybe you have other computers on top of that.

Build is my network administrator. I gave it access to my Tailscale network. All you need do is say, hey.

My network's on Tailscale. Please access it. If you have multiple computers, highly recommend setting up Tailscale as well.

Basically lets your AI agents go across all your devices and do whatever needs across them. But for instance, I had build my technical bot go last night, install Quen three eight twenty seven b on my fifty ninety computer, then it built a game for me right here on my Mac Studio using that model that was running locally on my fifty ninety.

So it can go across any of my devices, manage any of them, load models up, build apps, do any sort of coding. It's hooked into so it can see all my code bases, all my projects I'm working on.

I have a, like, a personal operating system I maintain. I needed a little fix in it today. I went to Bill.

I said, hey. In my personal operating system, can you edit this? It's basically like my CTO.

Anytime I need to do any technical work at all, I go to Build, and it works really well. The reason why, like, this is better than having, like, one mono agent that just handles everything is Build just has context just around my technical work, just around my computers, how things are set up in my projects.

That's it. Like, the description has just describes my projects in computers. So when we give it prompts and we tell it to do things, it only has to pull from a very small description, from a very small context.

When you have one agent doing everything, doing your programming, your content, this and that, its skills, its description, its system prompt is massive.

And the bigger the system prompt gets for an agent, the slower it becomes, the more expensive it becomes, and the stupider it becomes. This is the beauty of the architecture of GrokBot is all your skills, all your description system prompts are split up nicely between bots.

So when you message the right bot, it's quick, it's cheap, it's easy because it just knows what it needs to know. Just the system prompt it needs to know. Just the role it needs to know.

The tools it needs to know. That's it. Nothing else.

That's why this architecture of Grokbod is so great. Then we have Barry.

Barry is my content engine. Barry keeps me up to date on trends, breaking AI news.

It's always watching x for me, looking for breaking news and things like that. Barry has access to xAPI. Barry does a few things for me.

One is it helps me write all my newsletters. Newsletters take a long time to write. Barry helps me write them.

It takes my posts, my YouTube videos, repurpose them into newsletters for me. It also keeps an eye on any AI major products. Right?

So this is another routine here. We didn't really cover this too much. Routines are basically just your cron jobs.

Can reverse prompt your routines as well. Go to an agent say, hey. What are the best routines we can set up?

It'll set up the routines as well. Every thirty minutes from 7AM to 11:30PM, Barry goes and checks the SpaceX Twitter account.

It checks Anthropic. It checks OpenAI, and it sees if they made any new major releases recently and then lets me know about it, which is amazing.

As you can see, SpaceX AI just shipped a WAP connector inside Grok now. Boom.

I get that breaking news the moment it happens. So even if you're not into content, I still recommend having a Barry of your own that just keeps an eye on x and lets you know the moment new things happen. Then we have Dusty who we talked about a little earlier.

Dusty is my vibe coding academy moderator. Anytime someone posts a technical question that'd be appropriate for an AI to answer, Dusty answers it. People aren't as engaged after a few days after they join.

Dusty will message them and say, hey. Here's a few ideas based on my research about you of things you can build. And Dusty just keeps people engaged, keeps things moving, posts new AI news in the community every day.

It just takes so much work off my plate. And because I invited Dusty through that agent mail account, it's a moderator. It can do whatever it wants.

It doesn't have admin access because it's not using my account, but Dusty has his own account. If you need any sort of community management, Grockbot is, like, the perfect candidate for that.

Sydney is my revenue ops. Sydney's basic job is monitoring my email and finding sponsorship opportunities and replying to people. My number one pet peeve in life, I don't know what it is.

I don't know if there's something wrong with me. I absolutely hate email. I hate email.

When I get a pop up on my phone, it's an email for me. I get, like, anxious. Like, I hate it.

I hate getting emails. I hate reading emails. I hate replying to emails.

The downside of this is I don't get many sponsorships because of that. I get hundreds of emails a day from companies trying to sponsor my videos.

I don't reply to any of them just because I hate email so much. Cindy does that for me.

So Cindy's hooked into my business account. Cindy goes to the hundreds of emails I get a day, researches who's emailing me if they're legit, if they're just a scam.

By the way, if you get into YouTube making it, you're gonna get 40,000 scam emails a day. Be careful out there. But Cindy researches who's scammer, who's real, and at the end of the day, gives me a spreadsheet of the legit opportunities that might be real sponsorship opportunities.

So Cindy is amazing. If you're anything like me, you hate email, set up a bot to monitor whatever email account's important to you when it comes to business and alert you when important business emails come in. Get yourself a Cindy.

And then I have Reid. Reid is my last bot right now. Reid is my experimenter.

I have Reid go and experiment on the Internet all day. Like, this is gonna sound a little strange, but I have Reid going, running experiments, finding what people are saying online, build products based on what they're saying, post those products online to see if people click it, use it, see where there's demand.

And I basically just have Reid go out finding demands, running experiments, seeing what people are into on the Internet. Reed's kinda like my go to guy for just finding business opportunities online.

Slate manages Reed, so I don't go to Reed and say, hey. Do this. Do that.

I just tell Slate, hey. Have Reed try different things out and see if there's different business opportunities online. Then Slate just watches Reed do all those things all day.

So he's kinda my experimenter. These are my main use cases right now. Based on those bots I showed you, I can manage, like, 90% of my business.

I'm coming up with new bots all the time. So if you stick with the channel, you subscribe down below. But I'm this is the first of many Grok bot videos I'm gonna do.

So you'll see how my setup evolves over time. So I'm gonna be adding way more bots to this. Hermes versus Grock bot, which should you use?

Which should you rip out? These are two different agents.

It's not one or the other. It isn't Hermes this or Grock bot that.

Hermes is a completely customizable agent running on any model that can do anything you want. If I load up Quen three eight on my fifty ninety computer, it's now powering my Hermes.

Right? Because Hermes is fully customizable. I can't change models in Grock bot.

You could only use Grock for Grock Bot. So there's still gonna be things you need to do that require customization, that require cheaper models, require your agent going and doing things on your computer, tinkering, changing things around.

That's where Hermes comes in. That's what I would use Hermes for. But for basic day to day knowledge work, Grock Bot's the goat right now.

Grock Bot is the best way to do it. So I do not recommend ripping out Hermes. Keep Hermes.

Use it for cheaper models. Use it for changing things on your computer, doing admin things on your computer, things that require deep customization, and then use Grockbot for your general knowledge work.

I'm absolutely love a Grock Bot. I'm sure you are too if you started using it. I hope this is helpful.

Let me know down below what you want my next video to be about. Any aspects of Grock Bot, use cases, things like that. Let me know.

Hope this was helpful. I'll see you in the next video.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

Alex Finn has spent a week running his business through Grok Bot, xAI's new multi-agent assistant, and the pitch is blunt: this is the best out-of-the-box AI agent he's used, precisely because it takes almost every decision away from the user.

Brain dump to reverse prompt

Brain dump: tell the agent everything about yourself, your goals, and what you want off your plate
Reverse prompt: ask the agent what bots, roles, and routines it would set up for you based on that context
Let the agent create the bots itself

A two-step setup process, described as the presenter's own invention, for configuring a new AI agent system without having to plan it manually.

“I also have the Vibe Coding Academy, number one AI community on the Internet. By the way, join that full boot camp on Grockbot coming up. Join, be a part of that. You'll learn a ton. Link down below.”

Woven into a live demo of the brain-dump input itself rather than a separate ad break — the plug doubles as both an authentic example of what to tell an agent about yourself and promotion for his paid community.
