Developer wires Grok bot into Tailscale to manage Plex server from phone

Developer johnlindquist shares that he added a Grok bot to his Tailscale network, letting the AI agent remotely manage his Plex media server so he can control it directly from his phone.
It's a practical "agent + mesh VPN + home service" combo: Tailscale gives the LLM agent secure access to the LAN-hosted Plex server — a hands-on example of wiring existing tools into home-server automation.
