been using grok bot for a day and it's not what i expected from an AI
it has its own computer. i asked for a portfolio site and it made itself an email, signed up for cloudflare, verified the account, built the site and deployed it live. i never touched a single setting
then i said it looked too AI. it scrapped the whole thing and rebuilt it minimal. asked for a toggle like vitalik's site, it went and studied his code and matched it. said make it smaller, done in a minute
i also had it research crypto project ideas. it pulled real complaints off X about wallet drains, insider bundles and airdrop farmers getting nothing, checked what's already oversaturated, and ranked the gaps with sources. legit better than half the "research" threads on my timeline
not perfect. it still needs me for phone verification and it checks with me before anything risky, which is how it should be
first AI that actually feels like it does the work instead of telling you how to do it
@elonmusk @grok you guys cooked with this one
What you need
- Connected apps
- Cloudflare, with an account Grok Bot signed up for itself using an email address it created.
What prompted it
The author wanted a portfolio site without touching any settings, plus research on crypto project ideas.
What Grok Bot did
- Asked for a portfolio site.
- Grok Bot made itself an email address, signed up for Cloudflare and verified the account.
- It built the site and deployed it live. The author never touched a setting.
- Told it the site “looked too AI”. It scrapped it and rebuilt it as a minimal design.
- Asked for a toggle like the one on Vitalik’s site. It studied his code and matched it.
- Asked for it smaller. Done in a minute.
- Asked it to research crypto project ideas. It pulled real complaints off X about wallet drains, insider bundles and airdrop farmers getting nothing.
- It checked what’s already oversaturated and ranked the gaps, with sources.
Evidence and limits
- Original post checked on X (Oct 17, 2026)

- It still needs the author for phone verification.
