Peter Yang's tutorial: building 5 personal agents with Grok Bot
petergyang · x · 2026-08-18
Peter Yang argues Grok Bot is a glimpse into the future of personal AI agents, and shares a tutorial for setting up five useful bots:
- An advisor that creates and manages your other bots; 2. A YouTube researcher that surfaces outlier videos; 3. An X scout that finds viral and funny tweets; 4. A digital Marie Kondo that cleans your inbox and saves money on paid subscriptions; 5. A personal concierge that saves money on trips.
He also tested a Gamer bot to see whether Grok Bot can install and play classics like Doom, Red Alert and Commander Keen, and discusses the biggest barrier to Grok Bot adoption and whether it can replace ChatGPT as his daily driver.
