First impressions of Grok @bot:
- Best computer use agent: Successfully ordered groceries, navigated clunky furniture sites, and handled airline pages well.
- Clean UX: No model selectors or complex settings, feels like iMessages. Will appeal to the masses.
- Agent Paradigm: UX nudges towards task-specific agents, but the author prefers fewer, more general agents.
- Killer feature: Agents messaging each other is exciting; looking forward to sharing bots with others.
- Future: Wants to talk to bots from Tesla directly.
