Hour-long Grok Bot masterclass walks through installing, syncing, and giving your agent an inbox

Saboo Shubham sat down with xAI's Matt Van Horn for a hands-on walkthrough of the Grok Bot agent. Highlights:
- Setup: installing Grok Bot from scratch; the killer feature being Mac/iOS sync
- Chief-of-staff workflows: screenshot-to-calendar, a daily family email, a self-correcting soccer tracker, and a bot that reset its own password
- Compound engineering: CE plan / CE work workflow, including using CE plan to DM hundreds of people
- Agent infrastructure: Agent Mail (a dedicated inbox for bots), giving a bot a phone number, printing CLIs instead of clicking to save tokens, and cron jobs as "the actual magic"
- Fun bots: Dr. Eggbot (a bot that builds bots), a one-prompt ELI5 bot, a live-built visual ELI5 bot, and running Fable 5 inside Grok Bot
The full session is a practical tutorial in consumer-grade agent orchestration.
