I will be shocked if anything can beat Grok Bot for usefulness at this point.

It took me 2 days to hit “how did I ever survive without this” and it’s only gotten better.

Have you compared it to others, like Hermes or Dot? I have not forayed into Grok Bot so I have no basis for comparison.

I have and the biggest unlock compared to Hermes is that it comes with no setup and its own computers for each agent. While I’m perfectly capable of setting up my own Hermes, controlling access over my tailnet and setting it up with my other AI plans most non-tech folks are not.

Having this just work for non-tech people and still have advanced capabilities for the people who want to use it is a huge UX unlock.

The other thing thats critical is that it’s exceedingly cautious by default. My risk profile and concerns eased quickly.

I haven’t heard anyone give bots comparison.
