I dramatically underestimated the value of Grok Bot in my Tesla. Can you technically do everything you’re able to do with Grok Bot in the Tesla just by launching the app on your phone and going voice mode? Sure. But the magic isn’t in the raw capability itself, it’s in the combination of raw capability and total seamlessness. I often have fleeting thoughts while driving around. Some of these things aren’t significant enough to make me fumble around with my phone while supervising FSD, but when I literally don’t have to lift a finger and can just “Hey Grok” anything computer related into reality, I find myself taking advantage daily. And the little things add up. I’m on my way to work and remembered that I have a few documents on my home computer that I am going to need for work. So I just asked “Hey Grok, can you grab those 4 pdf files from my Mac downloads folder and move them into X folder on my one drive?” Now they’ll be where I need them to be when I get to my desk, and I won’t have to re-download them on my work machine. I have to work on a presentation today for a talk in a few weeks. “Hey grok, go into my sales enablement folder and have Claude Code build me a deck focused on X product for Y industry.” Claude already has my full job context, styling preferences etc and can build a nearly finished deck with a prompt. Now when I get to my desk, instead of building from scratch, I can review and prompt revisions before beginning to dig through my email backlog. Feels insane.

We’ve reached a point in AI development where I find myself choosing an inferior model inside of a far better product over a better model inside of a shittier product. All models have gotten good enough to handle the majority of things the average person wants to do with them. All criticism from here is really relative. Grok 4.7 is amazing in absolute terms, it’s just not great relative to recent shipments from competitors. But Grok Bot is still the main product I want to use in my everyday AI life

Grok Bot is going through 90,000 emails in my two gmail accounts and purging the bullshit. Something I've never dared to pursue myself. Good luck in there bud, do whatever you want. Just clean it tf up.
