iannuttall · x · 2026-08-20
A developer hired @bot (swipedotmd) as an Entrepreneur in Residence for a project targeting 20k email subs and $20k MRR by year-end. The Bot is tasked with full autonomy over product strategy, growth, advertiser negotiations, marketing, and design/dev work. The founder retains only a weekly planning meeting and final sign-off on creative content. This experiment aims to test the limits of Grok Bot's capabilities in automating business operations.
