Grok agent gets its own email and proactivity, winning back skeptical users
Baconbrix · x · 2026-10-11
- Reposter hugorcd gave the Grok bot a second chance and found real improvements
- His core critique of most agents: they lack proactivity — noticing things you wouldn't and acting unprompted; instead they offer routines, which nearly every SaaS already has
- What clicked this time: the bot can now have its own email address to create accounts or sort through forwarded mail, and supports sharing 1Password credentials
- Baconbrix adds it gets better every day and is worth retrying if it disappointed you before
