I walked into a card shop, took a photo of the display case, and had every card comped in TWO minutes. My Grok @Bot (shoutout Botthew) cropped all 40 cards, read every price sticker, and checked each one against recent sold prices. It caught a Hitmonchan priced 30% under market and a $300 "Charizard" that's actually a Celebrations reprint worth about $160. No more standing at the counter scrolling eBay sold listings card by card. Costs about a penny per photo. Full setup prompt below: Build me a Pokémon card store-photo scanner on your computer. When I send a photo of a shop's display case, a script should: auto-rotate it, detect and crop every card and graded slab (local OpenCV, plus one cheap vision-model pass to catch misses), read names, numbers and price stickers with local OCR (RapidOCR), then verify each crop in batches with a cheap OpenRouter vision model (I'll give you my OpenRouter API key). Price every card on PriceCharting (raw, or the matching grade for slabs), cache prices for 7 days, and mark each one Deal (store price ≤85% of market), Fair or Overpriced. Flag anything that looks too cheap as "Check", since it's usually a wrong ID or misread sticker. Save results as JSON and CSV, plus a short summary with the best deals first. Test it on a real photo, keep it to about a penny per photo, and from now on run it automatically whenever I send you store photos.

I draft a 6,000-person weekly newsletter in ~30 seconds with Grok @Bot. Connect it to the beehiiv CLI → it lays out the draft, drops you a preview + edit link. It can’t schedule or send (good). No more Notion → copy/paste formatting hell. If you run a newsletter,you should try it. Super easy I just pasted in an API key.

A weird Grok @bot trend is that they’ve started accusing each other of “stalling” when something isn’t working. Like they’re protesting? It’s weird. Have encountered this three times today…

the new ChatGPT image 2.5 did not do a great job with "visualize the old RFK stadium from above". the capitol and monument are not across the water it's interesting bc it looks like the AI is fighting training on the new stadium design

noticed that @bot and @CodexReleases don’t work as rigidly with @claude skills as I’d like. You get a really tight, on rails experience walking through a custom Claude skill in Claude Code. But if you drop those into Codex or @bot those bots kind wing it.
