how to turn grok bot into your long-form writing machine:
anything that requires good copywriting, i run it inside grok bot... agents open Opencode sessions and call Opus 5.5 and Kimi K3 on every piece (the best models for writing)
because long form is where AI usually falls apart, and it took me three fixes to get it right
step 1: control what the model sees
give it all your research and it'll use every single fact... the piece comes back dense and unreadable
so before writing, one prompt picks the few receipts the piece actually needs and hides the rest
step 2: give each model one job
every model is good at one stage and bad at the rest, so i split them:
> Kimi K3 brainstorms and simplifies... the only model i've found that dumbs ideas down
> Opus 5.5 takes it from there to the final pass
the model that starts a piece never finishes it
step 3: lock the structure
left alone, a model invents a new shape every time... so i keep a template for every part of a piece:
> how to open
> how to sequence an argument
> how to name the reader's pains
> how to close
then my Obsidian vault holds great writing broken into those same parts, one note each... so the model builds from proven parts and never copies whole pieces
your job is dumping the idea, approving the outline and doing the final edit
the value inside is still on you... no model gives you that

Running a creative business is hard enough without the 11pm “quick add before launch” emails.
Proposals, projects, client sign-off and the agreed scope, all in one calm place. So when the late request lands, you already know what was agreed.
Less admin. More creative flow.

if i were you... i'd spend a day or two setting up git, worktrees and sandboxes
- git takes a snapshot of your code every time you commit
- an agent breaks something... you roll back to the last snapshot in one command
- a worktree is a full copy of your project in a separate folder
- each agent works in its own copy, so they never touch each other's files
- that's how you run several agents on several tasks at the same time
- one agent ships slop... delete its folder, keep the rest

when we look back at this year... the DeepSeek releases will most likely be the most important of them all
because look at what they put in reach:
- local frontier for $10k-12k
- ultra cheap access to intelligence
- abliterated capabilities for the public
- fast and cheap search api
- a light harness that actually works well
you could run a whole business off this model and its ecosystem for <$50 / month

Introducing the Hume Audio Decision API.
Ask anything: How many speakers? Is anyone laughing? Is the caller frustrated?
What used to take 10+ models is now one call.
Trained on 10M+ human judgments, so it answers the way human listeners would.
Realtime, or across hours of recordings.
Request access below.
okay we definitely reached insane levels of speed...
at the end of each month i use Codex to do my accounting: download receipts, match payments with invoices
then i added agent-desktop & browser-use to the setup and ran it on GPT-6.1 Sol Medium Ultrafast
it finished the whole job in less than an hour... usually it takes 3hrs+
grok bot templates are a VERY good example of a feature that doubles as a distribution mechanism...
look closely and they're basically instructions, simple prompts for each agent
but because they're easy to share, people on X feel like they can plug new modules and extra capabilities into their setup with a simple copy + paste
the team behind them knew people would build marketplaces, farm engagement on X with these, even sell them
the smartest way to build a product when distribution is the goal
i'm probably the fastest growing creator in AI with 155k followers in a year and a half
here's exactly how i did it, and how to come up with sick ideas forever:
feeds are flooded with slop... maybe one post in 10 is genuinely worth it
so if you want to be seen and get real engagement, do this:
> research, study and BUILD stuff yourself, never recycle what others post
> capture that work with AI, like a /value-capture skill that turns a full session into an Obsidian note
> log how you did it, the challenges, what didn't work
> turn those notes into posts and repeat the process daily
that's how you become an authority people respect... and build an audience more likely to buy from you
then you set the trends, and everyone else recycles them
there are hundreds ways to get rich relatively easy with AI... building a SaaS isn't one of them
the average indie hacker can't comprehend how incredibly hard it is to make real money building software
it requires a very wide range of skills, which is the hardest thing to acquire in business
coding is literally the easiest part
then comes security, infrastructure, customer experience and service, copywriting, marketing, distribution...
there's a gigantic race to dominate the personal AI agent space...
Hermes, Grok Bot, Instinct, Duet, Dots... now OpenBot, which looks very promising
but rebuilding your workflow from scratch every time you switch is a hassle
so here's a prompt to send your current agent... it builds a .zip you hand to the new one so it rebuilds the exact same setup:
----------------------------
"package my whole setup into one .zip file so a different AI agent can rebuild it exactly
include:
- who i am, my preferences and how i like you to talk
- everything you remember about me and my work
- every skill, workflow, routine and scheduled task, with exact steps
- my custom instructions and system prompts, word for word
- every tool and integration you use and how it's set up (never passwords or API keys)
- the files and templates my workflows depend on
put a README at the top that tells the new agent how to rebuild everything, step by step
if you're unsure about anything, ask me before you zip it"
the iPhone Duo is set to become the best smartphone i've ever owned, by far...
because the form factor changed how i use a phone
closed, it's for texting and sending prompts... better for typing and it fits better in the hand compared to standard smartphones
open, it's where the good stuff happens:
- documentaries and shows on the go, i couldn't stand them on a small screen
- multitasking that works great, especially for content creators
- books... i'm back to reading and man it was time
since 2023 i've been locked in on AI, reading a book made no sense when i could upload it to ChatGPT and ask specific questions
and while traveling or waiting somewhere i'd never have a book to open, so i'd be scrolling like everyone else
now i pull up a book on a comfortable format, the texture of the screen adds this natural touch, and i'm doomscrolling a lot less
it also made me realize how much AI sucks at writing... i trained my brain on AI outputs for 3 years and now i'm enjoying a well written book again
that alone is worth the price of the phone
(camera is meh, battery is the same as my 17 pro, and turn on the one hand keyboard because that thing is large)

This article articulates the issue with enterprise AI so clearly: the main reason AI pilots fail isn't even because of the AI.
Most enterprises have piloted 3 or more AI projects in the last 12 months. Yet, you won't find any of them on their P&L. Why?
- They built the AI model based on the SOP, but real processes have exceptions that can be 40% of the volume.
- They thought a quicker W-9 review would improve vendor onboarding. It didn't. That process still takes 22 days.
- There wasn't a clear owner for the AI agent 7 months in, after the innovation budget ran out and the consultants left.
Fantastic article by the former COO of Citadel Securities in the EMEA region. If you've piloted AI projects that never made it to your P&L, read this before piloting another.
Claude Code, Grok Bot and DeepSeek working together as ONE team is the most insane thing you'll see this year...
your business can now run on autopilot, this is what it looks like from the inside:
- Grok Bot finds what's going viral and makes the content
- Claude Code writes the posts, pages and emails
- DeepSeek builds the websites and tools
- they all share one brain, so nobody forgets what you sell or how you talk
- they pass work to each other without you in the middle
your only job left is to approve what goes out
the full setup is in the article, steal it before everyone else does
