Everything new in Grok Bot from the past two weeks: 1. Grok Bot is free to try 2. Every Grok & Cursor plan include Grok Bot ($20/mo) 3. Templates are out now 4. The X integration got a huge upgrade 5. Grok Bot can make payments with Link 6. Linux is now supported 7. Grok Bot supports 21+ localized languages on mobile 8. Microsoft app support - shipped before I could finish the video For your entertainment, you can watch me explain this as I walk up a steep hill in San Francisco. More updates on the way!

I used Grok 4.6 to build a 2D agent simulation of The Office. Here are notes and observations on 4.6: It is a huge step up from 4.5 - both in the quality of visual outputs and in the breadth of work: personality, features, and finding usable assets for this project. The editorial content and writing were good - I like the "feel" of this model. One of the biggest wins for 4.6 is speed. The throughput (~80 tok/s) and latency are so good that it feels Composer-adjacent - something eric zakariasson called out in his writeup. That speed + cost + performance makes for a true "workhorse" model that's practical for both personal and work use. My goal was to simulate The Office through "agents" that behaved like the characters - including all of the neuroticism and idiosyncrasies that made the show so funny. I knew what I wanted artistically - I've built similar 2D apps with pixel art. I asked Grok 4.6 to research psychological modeling, pull character descriptions, find references for the cast, and assemble 2D sprites with the Universal LPC sprite sheet generator and some RPG tilesets I grabbed online. I rattled a brief into the Cursor mobile app late one night at the Cursor office and woke up to an MVP. Then I spent a day or so spamming cloud agents until the simulation worked how I liked. The cool part is that Grok did the simulation, art, and research on its own: - Every couple of minutes, each person scores a few possible actions and picks one. They pathfind around desks, work, grab coffee, talk at the cooler, hide in the annex, or end up in a meeting. - Click someone and you can inspect traits, needs, mood, relationships, and whatever they're doing right now. You can also speed time up, force Michael to call a meeting, or roll a random office event. - Each character has Big Five scores that bias what they tend to do. Needs like work, social, caffeine, status, and comfort rise over time and fall when they do something about them. - Grok reconstructed the layout from Dunderpedia (Office Wiki) and online sources - Michael's office and the conference room on the north glass, Pam at reception, sales and accounting in the bullpen, the annex to the east, restrooms and the warehouse down the stairs. - Grok helped me find a few sprite sheet packs to implement. I was surprised at how accurate some of the character sprites were - from hair color to clothing. The combination of a performant model, cloud workspaces, and high throughput made for a really fun devex - the amazing folks at Cursor and SpaceXAI make my job easier everyday. A huge shout-out to Brian Zhang, whose Notion hackathon project inspired this exploration.

Today is my first day at Cursor - soon SpaceXAI I'll be working with Lee Robinson and eric zakariasson on all things DevEx and education I'm extremely grateful to the Cursor team (and many others) who helped make this a reality The coming years will redefine not only software engineering, but what it means to use a computer - my goal is to take that journey with you (and fun along the way) There's never been a better time to build and I've never been more excited to get back to work Can't wait to share more soon ✌️

Support for Agent Plugins is live in Cursor (and I made a plugin for searching X!) Agent Plugins combine Skills and MCP servers into a single package Think about them like an Ikea furniture kit: your table comes with instructions, parts, and tools. You use the instructions to understand how things work (which tools on which parts), then use the tools to assemble your furniture Agent Plugins are bundles of tools & resources that allow agents to accomplish a goal: - MCP servers: fixed context and tools - Skills: dynamic instructions, loaded progressively Plugins bundle tools and instructions so your agent is able to use tokens efficiently Many of us already use MCP servers and skills together - Agent Plugins formalize this pattern for more powerful workflows I'm excited to see where the standard takes us!

How far can you go in 30m in San Francisco? I built isochrones from the center of 40 neighborhoods to show how far you can walk, bike, drive, & ride transit An isochrone shows the distance you can travel when time is held constant (iso - same; chrone - time) There are interesting takeaways on the state of public transit and infrastructure in sf - full analysis (and app) out soon

99% of vibe coded apps are demos so I’m building in public to show what’s possible… real, powerful software at scale I’m building an app for strength training with the exact logic I use for my workouts my goal is to transform an ugly spreadsheet into beautiful software anyone can use this weekend I built out the program creation flow and exercise library
