billyjhowell · x · 2026-09-03
- A first-time Grokbot user described an app idea—locking him out of his inbox except 5-10 AM—and let the agent build it.
- The agent signed into his Replit account, built a Chrome extension and a Mac menu bar app, and tested 23 different things autonomously.
- 39 minutes later he had a finished product, showcasing the "describe what you want, no coding needed" agent development workflow.
