One week with Grok Bot running 5 businesses: the chores an autonomous agent actually absorbed
PrajwalTomar_ · x · 2026-09-07
The author, already running his own Hermes Agent, expected Grok Bot to be hype—then ran it across his 5 businesses for a week.
What it did unattended
- Patrolled X every 15 minutes and pinged him the moment a wave started
- Click-tested his apps overnight and wrote up the bugs
- Prepped client research packets before morning
- Answered community questions at 2am
- Turned his X posts into newsletter and IG drafts in his voice
- Spun up an entire collaborating agent crew with one message
Takeaway: most of the time drain was 'chores I had learned to tolerate'—the agent absorbed them and he doesn't plan to go back. Full setup with exact instruction blocks in the linked article.
