Power user runs xAI's agent fleet daily: business monitoring, flight alerts, billing audits

Blogger gregmushen shares real daily use cases across xAI's agent products:
- Hermes: transparent health tracking — hourly step sync, calorie/workout logging, shopping lists, chores, pantry inventory, plus meal planning around family preferences and sales
- Grok Bot: runs custom code checking on his business multiple times a day
- Fo: just got access, used it same day to track his daughter's flight and notify on landing
- Dot: caught a planned software downgrade that didn't take effect, causing overcharges, and is resolving it plus finding other missed issues
- Built a custom calling extension for Muse
His verdict: "a huge mixed" experience, but a concrete look at persistent agents handling personal life and small-business tasks.
