Grok Bot 上手体验：比 Codex 和 Claude 更简单的个人智能体

98 Share Hey folks,

I had early access to Grok Bot , like many others on X posted. Except, I didn’t actually use it 😬. But since it was publicly launched I have started using it…and, I like it?!

There was a wave of ‘personal agents’ with OpenClaw, then Hermes (not the luxury brand) with many flocking to them. I used them to begin with but then just stopped completely. I can’t quite put my finger on why - one may be because I was just generating shit for the sake of it. Having a shower? Make sure my agent was doing something. Going to sleep? Get my agent on something. Things I used? Zero.

I’m a one-session-at-a-time kinda guy. I hate having to review a ton of agent work (or any work)!

Codex/ChatGPT with its mobile connection was all I needed from an ‘always accessible’ agent that could do stuff on my computer. But Grok Bot’s form factor is slightly different, and it’s pretty nice.

You ‘personify’ your agents. Each gets a system prompt e.g. “you are ben’s money manager agent”, they can send messages to one another, they have access to their own virtual computer (which you can watch them use), you connect your accounts like Gmail, Calendar, Slack, etc (though I ran into several hiccups trying to connect accounts).

Bots are AI teammates that do real work for you. They sign in to your tools, use them just like you do, and come back with finished work. 5:09 PM · Aug 11, 2026 · 26.5M Views 2.45K Replies · 3.39K Reposts · 30.6K Likes I think it’s just less is more. There’s a lot less complexity with it, it feels like you’re messaging a teammate in Slack. You can set up automations really easily with it, and you can even go into ‘teach’ the bot by it watching your screen.

You can effectively do all the same stuff in Codex or Claude, but it’s just a couple of steps more complicated. Maybe I’ll try and mimic the setup in Codex?

Currently, you can only access it if you’re on the $200 plan for Cursor or Grok. And of course Grok Bot is powered by the newly released Grok 4.6… (with 4.7 a couple weeks away). More on that below.

Ship domain integrations in hours with the name.com API . Use the API that powers Vercel, Lovable, and Netlify’s domain services. Built for agents and developers with OpenAPI spec and MCP support. Integrate search, registration, and management. Start building .

Grok 4.6 is a damn good model. It’s near Sol and Fable’s performance on benchmarks, and it’s way cheaper than both. Also see: Grok 4.6 – A field guide .

Ben Tossell @bentossell i’ve enjoyed chatting with grok 4.5 this week

4.6 feels similar which is great. the first real time i’ve given grok models a go and actually enjoying them

long may the gains continue, 4.7 will be interesting results 7:53 PM · Aug 12, 2026 · 5.21K Views 8 Replies · 1 Repost · 49 Likes SpaceX + Cursor is now the #3 frontier lab besides OpenAI and Anthropic (rip Gemini, unless their next model is actually good).

Elon says Grok 4.7 will be ready in the next 3-4 weeks , and it’s currently being post-trained on SpaceX’s company data to make the model best at real-world engineering , if not everything. The model card for Grok 4.6 also covers many benchmarks beyond coding, where it’s either #1 or #2.

ChatGPT now lets you import and sync your projects, agent sessions, skills and more from other products like Claude Code.

Your chats started via Claude’s Chrome extension are now saved in your account and can be accessed from your Desktop, mobile or web app. That also means the Chrome extension chats can do the work you’d usually open Claude Cowrok for.
