They're charging me £100 a month and the usage bar still empties itself.
Barely touched it this week. Four days left and it's nearly gone.
People are begging for a reset. Getting silence.
Am I wrong for calling that a rip-off?
Grok Bot is becoming unuseable hardly use it and my usage has practically gone with four days left £100 a month for hardly any usage. be careful with Muse they make it free so you get a good set up and then they start charging.
Letting your agents pick their own jobs is a terrible idea.
Hermes rooms now assign the work before anyone even replies. "Assigned to Builder" just pops up.
Handy if you trust them. Madness if you don't.
Am I wrong for wanting to stay the boss?
Hermes is everything Grok Bot couldn't be, says one lad today. Bold.
I've bounced between both. Hermes is lovely to tinker with. But Grok Bot can ring a shop and track your orders now, in the US at least.
Tinkering or getting things done, which wins? Am I wrong?
Hot take: Grok Bot is the best AI assistant going, and us Brits are paying full price for half of it.
No calls. No referrals. Features land in the US and we get "coming soon".
Am I wrong, or are we being mugged off?
Watched Grok Bot ring someone up and handle the whole chat. Live transcript, pops up when it needs you. Properly impressive.
Then I saw it's US only. Again.
Feels like the lad with his nose against the sweet shop window.
What should us lot get first?
Nobody likes ringing a company and being told to press 1, then 3, then 2.
Someone just got their Grok Bot to call a resort, press the menu numbers itself and get a real person on the line. That's the first phone call I'd hand over.
Which call would you never make again?
Bit of a funny one this.
Someone asked Grok if Meta's AI is any good. Grok said yes, and admitted Meta's model sits above it on the leaderboards right now.
Then Meta's AI boss went and screenshotted it.
Fair play. Would you trust an AI more if it owns up when it's behind?
X Money is finally coming to the UK.
For once we're not stuck waiting months after the US.
Would you actually use X to send money, or is that a step too far?
The best tables aren't booked a month ahead. They're freed up by cancellations nobody is watching for.
Someone had Grok Bot check every hour and landed two Saturday slots that normally need weeks.
Patience used to be the edge. What happens when everyone's assistant has it?
Under 100K daily users in early September. Over 600K a few weeks later.
And Elon points out there's no free tier.
Free gets you sign-ups. Paying users prove it's actually useful.
Would you pay for an AI that does the work rather than just chats?
Elon says Grok 4.8 isn't being built to top benchmarks. Just to be useful. Nobody keeps an assistant because of its test scores. They keep the one that gets the job done, which is why people stick with Grok Bot. When did you last check a leaderboard before asking AI for help?
A few things I'd love to see in Grok Bot next:
• Text it over iMessage, RCS or WhatsApp.
• Proper live voice chat you can interrupt mid-sentence
• Point your camera or share your screen while talking.
• Lock private chats behind Face ID.
• Upload a recording and get the notes back
Which one would you want first?
Three weeks after launching inside Grok Bot, Allo says it brings in 12x more signups than every other AI connector combined. That's the bit people are missing. Apps used to fight for a spot on your home screen. Now they're fighting for a spot inside your assistant. Who's next?
Grok Bot went down for two hours the other night and I felt like I'd lost an arm.
Six months ago I didn't use an AI for anything. Now my reminders, my emails and half my day run through one.
That's either progress or a problem. How long could you last without yours?
