“HUNNY MY GROK BOT CALLED OUR FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND MADE US RESERVATIONS” I built a Grok Bot whose only job is to pick up the phone and book you a table at restaurant. Literally make the call in a beautiful Grok voice. It is absolutely amazing! And it’s free. Try it: x.ai/bot/TIMrxLJHbEEpdr25yYg… Yesterday I told it "book Gourmet Italia in Temecula, 4 people, tonight, around 7." It found the restaurant's number on its own, asked how flexible we were on time, what name to book under, and what callback number to give. Then it read everything back and waited for my OK before it dialed. One call covers every time that works for us, so there's no back and forth. When the call ends, it tells me what happened in plain English, quotes what the restaurant actually said, and offers to put the reservation on my calendar. If I don't have a calendar connected, it hands me a file that opens right in Apple Calendar. A Proposal: Grok Phone Grok Bot needs its own phone number to make and receive calls. I connected a calling service called ClawCall, and the free tier gave me 30 calls or 30 minutes to start. I have no connection to that company. It's just what I used. Once Grok Bot has a number, it stops being something you type to and becomes something that can actually get things done in the real world. @Grok you need an old tyme phone service, buddy. I built some guardrails. It never hands over a credit card or deposit info, never leaves voicemails unless you ask, makes one call at a time, and never calls on its own. And this isn't really about restaurants. Change a few words and the same bot can: - Book a haircut, a massage, or a dentist cleaning - Get a tee time or a court reservation - Check if a hotel has a room or will let you check in early - Schedule a car service or an oil change - Call around for quotes from a plumber, an electrician, or a caterer This is one of many ways I use Grok Bot to build businesses and make life easier. The calls I used to put off for days now take me 30 seconds. I made it shareable, so you can grab "Call A Restaurant Reservation" and use it yourself. LINK: x.ai/bot/TIMrxLJHbEEpdr25yYg…

The new Tesla Roadster produces more thrust than an F-16 fighter jet at military power Roadster Thrust augment: >80 kN (~18,000 lbf) F-16 with F100-PW-229: ~79.2 kN (~17,800 lbf) without afterburner Tesla packed enough cold-gas thrust into a car that exceeds the non-afterburning thrust of an F-16 engine With afterburner, the F-16 exceeds at ~130 kN But the fact this comparison even exists is insane Tesla just pushed automotive engineering deep into aerospace territory
