Grokbot demos always-on AI employees: chief-of-staff agent dispatches shopping, marketing, engineering agents
elonmusk · x · 2026-08-21
Elon Musk shared a Grokbot agent demo: an agent with its own identity and computer that stays on when you're not. The demo shows a chief-of-staff agent that checks other agents and dispatches tasks, a shopping agent logged into accounts booking tickets and groceries, a marketing agent that reads your LinkedIn tone and publishes posts, and engineering agents that triage bugs and return with PRs, screenshots and fix videos. The interface is a chat, not a dashboard. Cited numbers: Grok 4.6 scored 70.8% on Cursor Bench at $2.81/task, on par with Fable 5 Max at 70.5%.
