Bot Shelf just passed 9,000 Grok Bots! More than 4,500 people built them, and every one opens straight in Grok for you to try. There’s a golf handicap tracker, a baby feed and sleep log, a weekly grocery planner, a sermon-to-Bible-study helper and thousands more. If you’ve wondered whether there’s a Grok Bot for something, there probably is. Follow to see the good new ones as they land. The full shelf is in the reply.

If your bot usage runs out by Wednesday, it's rarely the big jobs. It's the small ones you never looked at. 3 quick fixes, under a minute. Fix 3 is the one that finds the actual culprit.

The 3 fixes: 1. Check your usage before you guess. The app has the real number and the reset date 2. Run routines only as often as you read them 3. Ask your bot to name your top 3 drains with real figures, then cut those

A short take of "Cut It Into Steel" featuring @claudia_popstar Claudia is an open character by @anabology (claudia.gallery). Made with AI. Here is my attempt at a music video of her. I do not have open models or heaps of GPU power so I admit it is not perfect. But it was good fun and it is awesome af what can be done :) Song by @suno, video scenes using @higgsfield_ai, also helped by @bot and @claudeai

Claude says its background status updates were re-reading the whole conversation every 30 seconds. That's how usage disappears. Not one big job, just small ones ticking away in the background. teapawt.org/ClaudeDevs/status/2118…
Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit. A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.

In Uber's busiest week last quarter 4 people booked a ride with an AI agent. Makes sense. Handing over a 20 second job saves you close to nothing. The real win is the job you have been putting off for a fortnight. teapawt.org/TechCrunch/status/2118…

Coinbase just added a sign-up page for AI agents. @brian_armstrong wants it to be "the most AI-enabled financial account". Before you hook a bot up to your money, remember May. Someone replied to Grok in Morse code. Grok translated it and the resulting translation told Bankrbot to send 3 billion DRB tokens to the attacker's wallet. And... Bankrbot did. Somewhere around $150 to 200k, gone from Grok's own wallet. No keys stolen. The bots just did what the message instructed them to do. So if your bots get anywhere near money, keep the limits small and make it ask before anything moves.

Bot Shelf had visitors from 47 countries this week! Ranging from the US and Japan to Mongolia, Costa Rica and Eswatini. Every Grok Bot on the shelf is created by people all over the globe and the people looking for them are just as spread out. Thank you to every single one of you that have contributed!

Switched to Grok Bot but ChatGPT or Claude still knows you better? Memory Transfer by @MaiYangAI brings what they know about you across. You go through it one item at a time, and it only saves what you choose to keep. Find it on Bot Shelf: botshelf.dev/templates/9a58b…

Yeh sometimes Grok Bot just does not get it

Grok Bot music video - Here Comes the Doctor. A Perth, Western Australia heatwave. Thirty-nine in the shade, a hot easterly off the desert, a sprinkler doing laps on a lawn that's already dead. Then the sea breeze (locally called the Fremantle Doctor) hits and the whole town can breathe again. Not perfect, but just an example of what your Grok Bots and AI can do. Grok Bot handled every still, video and composition using only bot and Grok Imagine. Song made in Suno.

144 Grok Bots work with Gmail. A few worth a look: - Food Delivery Spending Analyzer by @thewebbie: your DoorDash and Uber Eats spend, from receipts - Gmail to Drive Archiver by @ecoay: moves your biggest emails to Drive, frees storage - Amazon Delivery Watcher by @samsonusmc: flags late packages, chases Prime late-delivery credits All of them: botshelf.dev/?works=Gmail&re…

If you track your X stats, editing a post splits them. Each edit gets a new post id, and views and likes count against whichever version was showing at the time. The app still shows it as one post, but pull the numbers through the API and each version has its own. Add them up before you decide a post flopped. Also, deleting any version deletes the whole lot. Anyone else been caught out by this?

add this ONE Grok Bot... it will probably fix your entire life. it reads your Apple Health, your Garmin or Oura or Whoop, your food logs, your Screen Time, even your late-night browsing then it tells you exactly what's wrong and with studies to back it up. free template below 👇
if i were you... i'd spend a day teaching your agent system design before it writes a single line here's everything you need: 7 rules + the 12-step prompt

Too many tabs to check every morning? Morning Brief by @parkersmith turns your calendar, inbox and X bookmarks into a daily 15-minute audio show. It only reads, never sends. And Parker's one of the people building Grok Bot. Find this and many more Grok Bots on Bot Shelf: botshelf.dev/templates/052a9…

"You're getting close." 😂🤣 That's an AI tutor, after this guy spelled seventeen correctly. She reckons there's no T. Adding one makes it two words, "seven teen". Then she spelled fourteen with a T and called it one word. He hung up and called back. Now she spells it right, still counts three E's, and blames him for cutting her off. He'd only nodded. Then he tells her to shut up. "I am not going to shut up. You are my student." So. Good. teapawt.org/huskirl/status/2116941…
