elonmusk · x · 2026-10-15
User @madebydia showed Grok Bot building an "Apple Desk" skill on the fly after being pointed to a tweet: it can read and update Reminders, Calendar, Notes, Contacts and read Messages on a Mac, share the skill with other bots, and asks for approval before texting. The user says it just works where other assistants required painful integration, and Elon Musk retweeted the post.
