Grok Bot might be the first tool that lets one non-technical person run an entire business with a team of AI agents. My friend Billy runs his whole newsletter business on Grok Bot agents, and I think we're about to see 100,000+ businesses like his. BEST PRACTICES: 1. The... agents run on a shared cloud computer, so running your newsletter, your X, and your receipts all in one place creates context bloat and burns tokens fast. One mission per setup. 2. Start with a Chief of Staff. Give it access to your existing docs (Notion, Slack, Gmail), have it audit the business, then tell you the top three agents to build first to drive revenue. 3. Perfect a task with the Chief of Staff before spinning up a new agent. Have it do the outbound sales once, review it, and only then say "now build a bot that does exactly that." You earn each new hire by proving the task works first. 4. Constraints are the feature. You get a limited number of agents, one thread per bot, like DMs with a teammate. It forces you to stay mission-oriented instead of spinning up a bot for every random idea. 5. You make the decisions, not the agent. Billy's team spent three weeks unable to pick where content should live. At some point you say "we're doing Notion, no more tinkering" and move on. 6. Run week one with no new agents. Build the team, learn to fly the plane, just execute. Week three is when you find the real gaps and expand, someone to man the inbox, someone for the Shopify shop. 7. Then add routines so it works while you sleep. Ask your Chief of Staff what recurring jobs would move the business forward overnight, and it builds the automations that run without you. Thanks to Billy Howell for sharing the sauce on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 (follow for more). Grokbot is really cool. Watch below:show more

Mate, it’s been out for two days. Cool it with the whole “runs his 18 figure business on it” bullshit

Bro how did you turn this around so fast? We recorded yesterday 😂

Grok bot is $60/mo minimum to try (cursor plus plan) They should have a free month trial to let us try it first. Its getting expensive trying out all these new agents!

Yessssss!!!!!

here we go

fair but I think those that could run an entire business with ai were already building to run an entire business with ai and don’t need grok bot

Nice 👍

a non-technical person looking at your best practices right now 🤣

The people love grok bot

Grok bot will be a solid workhorse

That accessibility is exactly why agent security can't be an afterthought for operators like Billy.

Awesome

nice

FREE GUIDE TO RUN YOUR ENTIRE BUSINESS WITH A Team of AI Agents Even if You're Non-Technical GROK BOT IS THE AI THAT'S FINALLY FOR EVERYONE

I'm always with you Mr musk the best I can I love you 🤭

I can't wait for Grok @bot to expand to premium+ tier

shovels & pickaxes for the next gold rush of more and more people selling stuff to each other while living on welfare, credit or their parents' money😂

the “start with a chief of staff” part is right. the implementation is usually an EA with extra steps. a real CoS (human or AI) doesn’t triage the inbox. it decides which three things the CEO is not allowed to touch this week. if it can’t kill work, it’s just a faster calendar.

Have you tried it? Because you'll hit your usage limit in 2 days trying to do all this.

I use Grok Bot to run Cursor projects and the weekly cap still burns on the $200 plan. How does @billyjhowell keep a whole agent team inside a usable budget?

Have you seen this:

honestly billy's setup sounds cleaner than most seed stage teams

but one full swoop Grok bot has eliminated the software engineer profession

Hermes agent is amazing but still for technical people. SpaceXAI did a very smart thing and made grok bot accessible to anyone, and keyword here, effortlessly.

Point 1 is very important. I see tons of people run swarms of grok bots, but they all use the same compute. Doesnt really work as well as people might think @bot better segmentation would help here. Have a cluster of bots share the same session but allow for new sessions as well. If I want a channel on househunting and a channel on carhunting these should use a different browser. Not the same one. I noticed bots step over eachother often.

To run a newsletter.... Amazing abundance of [productivity] for all... I cannot overstate how backwards we have this entire thing called money, an economy, appreciation for our engagement overloads, etc etc. Humanity owns the intelligence that it is being charged to use to be busier and more distracted than ever... It's time for the tables to be flipped (again) 🤡 world

Billy’s the 🐐

I don’t like it I love it

This is how I work too. Never wrote production code. Agents ship. I direct.

gridders @BarterBlex

the crazy second order effect is one person probably won’t stop at one business if agents handle most of the operating layer, “portfolio of tiny companies” starts becoming a completely normal career

How much of the day-to-day work does the Chief of Staff actually take over after the first 2–3 weeks?

Interesting

Newsletter business, sounds Like an amazing business! Billy is gonna be a billionaire!

The “earn each new hire” point is the one. It’s very tempting to build 30 agents immediately because you can. But the real leverage seems to be: prove the workflow → document the decisions → turn it into an agent → automate the routine. That’s when Grok Bot starts looking less like an AI tool and more like an actual company operating system.

It's not good enough yet. Everyone knows that, but it creates a lot of buzz. It's like creating a video of a humanoid cleaning the house like s person does. The parts are there but it's still a ways away. Prove me wrong
