“And to take that even one step further I think there is this old school software tendency to say things like, GrokBot now has. And when you think of completing that sentence, it would be like a new button to press, or it'd be a new dropdown, or it'd be a new i…”

“This would not have been possible if it had been, I think, a much bigger group. I think it took a small focus group that was completely isolated from the rest of the company, and I mean that literally.”

“We certainly have seen this in, in the coding realm, and so I think what GrokBot did in response to that was, actually, you should just define automations in natural language, and you should tell your bot, remind me that at eight a.m. Every day, please, and th…”

“One example was from rolling out GrokBot, one group inside of the company that was actually Incredibly bot-pilled, so to speak was our go-to-market team, was sales.”

“In fact, it is likely that this is most powerful for non-developers.”

“Like, it's those types of always-on sourcing use cases that I think in the past were incredibly manual, and now it's the type of thing AI is superhuman at, and our team can focus on closing great candidates and getting conversations with great candidates and n…”

“But instead of kind of trying to retrofit those concepts into some new surface or into an existing surface, which I think would have been the strong default, I think for many companies, we decided to start from scratch and we decided to just try to get these t…”

“The ultimate vision of GrokBot is incredibly simple, which is you should have a team of AI bots that help you with your job and help you with your life. And it should really feel like a team. It should really feel like Teammates that are autonomous are helping…”

“And I think from the first line of code to when we released this prototype internally, it was only about a month.”

“Ultimately when you're shipping production software, we're big believers that that is going to require, you know, a product where every pixel is optimized for that end user.”

“It was about three weeks from internal beta to public launch.”

“So I think that's one very critical thing is these are long-lived agents. These are not individual one-off sessions, and these agents get smarter over time. And then the second thing is those agents have access to all of the tools that you would expect a human…”

“I think it was important for the core team to be in the room for those and to just sit on a call for 20 minutes when the computer isn't spinning up or when someone's in onboarding and they're just incredibly confused. So that immediately after you're like, tha…”

“I think our competitors and other tools that have been trying to solve these types of problems, I think we're all seeing the same opportunity. I think we're seeing a lot of those, the feedback from the market, but I think it's just been hard to act on if you'r…”

“I have mine hooked up to like every mention of GrokBot ever on X. And it's interacting with our internal context. It's interacting with the QA tester to, like, see if it can repro any bugs or feedback that we're getting. I've hooked up to my own kind of messag…”

“And we made a really early decision that this should just all be in the cloud. And if it's in the cloud and it's this persistent colleague that has its own computer, it can do its own work. It has the same state everywhere you interact with it.”

“So when we rolled out GrokBot internally, there was about a week or two where the common pattern of the way people would interact with the products was you would have five to 10 bots. In each bot you would give a different scope, a different domain, and it was…”

“And so there was about a two week period where we were in that mode and onboarded a couple of hundred people.”
