I’ve been running Grok Bot as a second co-founder for the last few weeks, here’s what’s actually working
I’m not going to hype this. I’ve used every major AI tool for the past two years. Most of them are just faster interns that still need you to do the real work. Grok Bot is the first one that feels different.
It has its own persistent computer. It can log into tools, work across apps and websites, keep going while I sleep, and only come back when it needs a decision. I can spin up multiple bots and they pass work between each other.
Here’s what I’m actually using it for as a founder
I give it overnight objectives - research a competitor set, draft personalized outreach in my voice, clean lead lists, or build landing page variants. I wake up to finished work instead of a longer to-do list.
I’ve got one bot that constantly scans X and the web for raw pain points in my space. Not the polished LinkedIn version, the actual frustrated posts. That’s how I’m finding problems before they get crowded.
Another one red-teams my ideas hard. I make it attack from the competitor’s perspective, a tough VC, and a technical angle, then force it to build the counters. Keeps me honest.
The most useful (and uncomfortable) one is the self-deception detector. I tell it to call out every rationalization I make about traction or progress. It does. It’s annoying and necessary.
It’s not free and it’s still early. But the leverage is real. I’m moving faster with less burnout than I was three months ago.
If you’re still only using AI to write emails and summarize notes, you’re leaving a lot on the table.
I have got the prompt/Instruction that you can use it with Grok Bot to carry out the above task, happy to share, if someone needs it...
