Three weeks with Grok bot as chief of staff: great at routines, brutal usage limits

- After weeks of daily use as his "chief of staff," the author praises Grok bot's background routines, broad integrations, built-in browser, and X Chat access.
- Pain points: usage burns fast (90% of the weekly limit gone with three days left, no live meter), many sites rate-limit or block its browser, the link to his own computers drops silently, preferences need re-reminding, no task assignment from tools like Linear, and Google Sheets can be read/created but not edited.
- The author notes Grok bot itself wrote much of the review.
