I’m running about 30 active agents at any given moment, and in this episode I break down my full Grok Bot setup: what it is, how it compares to OpenClaw, and the nine bots I’ve built for work and my personal life. We go deep on Chief (my chief-of-staff bot sweeping six inboxes and multiple Slack workspaces), TradBot (the family agent that prints a kitchen-table newspaper for my kids), two engineering bots handling my PR queue and SOC 2 compliance monitoring, Holly Helpdesk, and a handful of personal bots I didn’t expect to actually love. I also walk through how I migrated everything from OpenClaw, including the script I used to export and transplant each agent’s identity and schedule.

The three primitives Grok Bot is built on, and why one of them changes what agents can actually do
How Chief, my general-purpose chief of staff, handles a scope I didn’t think a single bot could manage
The writing quirk I noticed immediately with the Grok model, and what I did about it before letting it near my inbox
Why I created a family agent, what it produces every morning, and the design principle I used that has nothing to do with a screen
The two engineering bots doing work I used to do myself, and how one of them handles compliance in a way that surprised me
How Holly Helpdesk started getting five-star reviews from customers who had no idea they were talking to a bot
The personal bots I built mostly on a whim, and the one I now look forward to every Monday morning
