We hear all your feedback, especially on usage limits and model routing and will be improving things overnight. Over the coming weeks many improvements to the harness and routines will further enable you to get much more out of each subscription. @bot team is dedicated to bringing you the very best product in a way that is also sustainable - it’s on us to make that possible
Just did a round table review with the Grok @Bot engineering team.
Fixes are being implemented overnight and you should notice a dramatic improvement by tomorrow. If not, reply to this post and we will address any remaining issues right away.

I use @bot all the time. I have the Luka plan (IYKYK).
But I use all the majors.
For general prompting
1. Claude
2. Chatgpt
3. Gemini
For agentic work
Replace Gemini with @bot
They get trained and implement agents differently. I play them off of each other on anything important

For the past 6 months openclaw has been my go-to agent running huge parts of my daily life. I forced myself to give grok bot a try for the last 10 days and I've been blown away.
I really thought this would be another failed attempt to try a new bot. But grok bot got me, I'm hooked, I've moved everything over.
Here's what changed my mind:
(1) Voice calls
Being able to have a conversation with my bots is such a natural way to work with them. I'd previously loved using codex's voice mode but grok bot takes it to another level because you're talking to your agents with all of your context.
I've come to associate different voices with my different bots. And I'm at a point now where I'm running daily standups with my bots to review what's been done, unblock, and plan what's next, all via voice.
(2) Multi-threaded conversations
The way grok bot handles multiple threads in the same conversation is really impressive. You know when you're texting a friend and you've got a few topics going at once, so you're replying to one while they're replying to another? Grok bot can chat like that.
Going multi-threaded makes chat feel far more natural. It also removes the urge to create a duplicate agent just to have a second thread going.
(3) Multi-agent collaboration
The way that my different bots work with each other kinda blew my mind the first time I saw it. My main agent along with a team of specialists will often collaborate to get a job done. For example, one agent that triages my inbox will collaborate with other specialist agents to make a decision about whether to raise the email to me immediately, include it in my daily standup, or archive it.
Specialization makes problems easy to diagnose and the way agents collaborate massively reduces the amount of noise I have to process. In many ways, working with my bots feels like working with a team of humans.
(4) Harness x model
This is the one I was most anxious about. I love openclaw's openness. The ability to select my own model, thinking mode, speed, etc is what kept me with openclaw for so long.
But I have to say, whatever the grok bot team is doing just feels right. I get quick answers to simple questions and well thought through answers to more complex problems. And, when writing code, my bots will delegate to cursor, which gives the control needed for the most complex scenarios.
Kudos to the grok bot team. Now it’s time to do daily standup with my agents.

Whatever the Grok Bot engineering team is doing is pure magic
I know ppl say I shouldn't learn how always on agents work and instead just focus on spending tokens, but this the tech is incredible

Automating bug report fixes with @bot and the X integration is awesome.
@msfeldstein is a Bot power-user. I asked a Bot to monitor our DMs for bug reports, triage them to my Cursor project, then keep him in the loop of the progress of the bug fix.
Pretty sweet flow.
“really small focused team working on it” —> “just 200 people”
Meta built Muse with just 200 people.
“The whole executive team, everyone knew that this was probably going to be one of the most important products that Meta would ship this year.”
“But we had the restraint organizationally to make sure it was a really small focused team working on it... because we knew it was a single work of art.”
“This is even now starting to plague a lot of the AI labs. They become this Frankenstein, almost Cronenberg amalgamation of a bunch of different people's points of view.”
“It's sort of like PM hell, where every PM has a thing that they're trying to jam into the product.”
“Muse had to be the exact opposite. There's one clear point of view.”

After my onsite interview at Cursor I remember telling my wife "these people are so ambitious it actually rewired my brain"

Just used grok bot to book an appointment for the first time in weeks. it has gotten so much better. Does a great job of keeping you in the chat and not pulling you onto the VM. Just delivered appointment options with cards in chat, I picked one, and a few seconds later I get an email notification/see it pop up on my calendar.
I ditched Grok Bot for Muse when Muse came out because it was a lot better for this sort of thing, but that was the most seamless agentic booking I’ve ever done tbh.
Hell yeah
Grok Bot is improving at a truly incredible pace across the product UX, speed, intelligence, browser use capabilities, and more. It is meaningfully better than it was last week as it will be again next week.
Okay, so after three days with Dot, I have to say, I am really impressed with it, but I do think Grok Bot is a better product at this stage.
Will be sharing more details when I can, but I think a lot of people have missed how much Grok Bot has matured as a product since launch, and really how much you can do with it.
I now honestly believe most people are really only scratching the surface most of the time with products in this category. And in most cases, if you just scratch the surface, most of the solutions seem kinda interchangeable.
Once you go deeper, there start to be some very clear differences, and Grok Bot is the clear market leader at the moment in my opinion.
Also, one major piece of alpha.
If you want to really go deep with Grok Bot, and understand more about how you can really maximize what you can do with it, make sure to follow @poteto, and look back on her tweets over the last few weeks, some absolute gold in there.
Bot on 🤘

Over the past week and a half we've made major improvements to make Grok @bot 3x faster.
Glad you can feel them!
Incredible work @parkersmith @romanugarte_, we spent a lot of time dialing this in and getting it just right. Hope you find it as useful as I have!
