Summary

Melvin Vivas reshares the launch video for Grok Bot, an early-beta "AI teammate". It signs in to your tools, works in its own computer and browser instance, and hands back finished work instead of chat replies. In the testimonial-style clips, users describe it sending emails, parsing LinkedIn, learning workflows by watching them work, and building slide decks during meetings. The video is a product demo, not a tutorial, but it shows the computer-use agent pattern clearly.

Key points

• Grok Bot is pitched as an AI teammate. It signs in to your tools, uses them the way you would, and returns finished work.
• It runs on its own computer instance with a browser, not on your machine, so you can keep working while it works.
• Its output goes into the real tools (sent emails, slide decks), not into a chat window. That's the difference between a 'doing partner' and a 'thinking partner'.
• It can watch you do a task, record it, and turn the recording into a reusable workflow.
• Example tasks: sending NDAs to campus leads, checking how many employees start on Monday, and parsing companies on LinkedIn.
• Trust builds step by step: one user started with email, checked the results, and then let the bot work hands-off.
• Another user has a Figma agent that pulls discovery notes during a meeting and builds a slide deck by the end of the call.
• Several bots can talk to each other and give each other directions (a multi-agent setup).
