So I’ve been using grok @bot for a few days. It’s starting to click

Bro they leapfrogged codex app and Claude code entirely. Super app 2.0

Grok bot’s marketing is completely wrong and misleading. It’s not an easy normie friendly chat. Don’t pay attention to the bot or chat UX, that’s not the point. Total distraction. Logo is flat out wrong. They legit did the Shoggoth meme with a smiley face mask in front of an AI demon.

Grok bots is actually the highest difficulty, most powerful, and highest skillcap agent harness by far.

Super rough around the edges. Dev tool, power user quality, nowhere remotely close to consumer level of approachability. Which is fine, they chose a lane, VSCode dev heavy design sensibilities bleed through, and to be fair it’s in beta.

But importantly they nailed a new agent stepping stone:

Persistent agent driven cloud computers

Progression:
- Chat

- Chat + Tools, Calculate & Code Interpreter, MCPs

- Claude Code & Coding Agent Harnesses: Chat + Tools + Read/Write local Files + Local CLI

- Codex/Conductor Super App: Agent Harness + vertical tabs + embedded browser + computer use

- Grok Bots: Agent Harness + Computer use + Browser Use + Entire cloud computer with all your files and apps, saved

Grok bots absolutely mogs ChatGPT work, and the codex super app + ChatGPT remote.

UX of having the cloud computer instance be persistent and not ephemeral per thread is 10000x better.

Also you can actually open the computer from your phone and click and type and look at things. It’s not some black box only the agent sees.

These were the 2 missing pieces

This pattern is about to get copied and adopted by everyone.
