Grok voice agent breaks down, sparking rant against renting other people's agent harnesses
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-10-29
A user reports Grok's voice layer is fully broken—no tool calls, no communication with the in-session bot—at the worst possible moment: an emergency client deliverable.
He argues this exposes the core flaw of renting other people's agent harnesses: your data and memories aren't yours, and an expensive subscription can fail you when it matters. He's switching back to Nous Research's Hermes Agent, which keeps memories saved locally and lets you swap LLM providers while retaining full context.
