My biggest takeaways from yesterday's Live Show: "Grok @bot for GTM" with legends, @kristaletz (enterprise GTM, SpaceXAI) and @ENowoslawski (founder of Growth Engine X): 1. Treat Grok Bots as teammates, not a chat box. Krista has a bot for each person she’d normally work with: an engineer she asks live on a customer call instead of following up after, a chief of staff that sends her a prep doc for her commute, a customer expert for each of her strategic accounts. She called it a "doing partner," not a "thought partner." 2. Onboard them like a new hire. Give the bot every tool you’d give a human. When they opened an agents-complaint channel, the #1# complaint was: you gave me a job and no Salesforce. She had it scan her Gmail and Slack so it writes in her voice, then records a task once and turns it into a routine. 3. Don’t send yourself a link. Instead, tell it to go watch the video. Krista told her bot: "never give me a link again, just go watch it." Her customer bots watch YouTube, listen to Slack, and email her the day a changelog ships the feature they asked for two months ago. Prospecting isn't about firmographics, it's about watching your prospect's podcasts and scanning their X. 4. The computer is the product. Each bot has its own virtual machine, so work keeps going after you shut the laptop. SpaceXAI people used to walk around with open laptops at end of quarter (lol). Eric had a second MacBook that had to stay plugged in because Hermes broke constantly. But with Grok Bot... cron jobs just run. Eric fully migrated off Hermes (by just asking Grok Bot to do it ha). 5. Stop using AI as a to-do list. It’s a to-done list. Not “help me prioritize this.” Go do the things. The VM is what unlocks it. Krista books flights via Navan's MCP with Starlink on them, she translates a discovery deck to Japanese mid-call, and she shares the recap email before they hang up. 6. Eric uses @bot for his four-point outbound check. One customer: 100 leads a day for a year, ~950k sitting in Supabase. Every day the bot checks (1) at least 100k leads loaded, (2) noon send volume, auto-refill if light, (3) deliverability check, (4) Friday: deprecate any domain under 0.7% reply after 200 emails, then buy replacements with his (Link) card. Grok Bot shipped Tuesday. They had this live Wednesday. Reply rate doubled (!!!). 7. Specialize by stress-testing, not writing a novel prompt. Eric’s company sits on 352 skills. He tells a bot: learn everything about the Clay CLI, invent 10 real scenarios from our GitHub, run them, ask questions. Then he’s done. A "Task Master" Bot routes to a deliverability bot, a copywriting expert, a per-customer watchdog. Grok (4.6) audits the setup for redundancy each week. 8. Don’t wait for new features (like multiplayer). If finished work lives on your bot or your laptop, the team can’t pick it up. Eric built a ClickUp skill that forces outputs to Drive, Slack, or Supabase and logs the plan. Krista’s chief of staff already messages her X bot and slides designer. Same idea: one bot orchestrates the rest. Turns out, you can just build things :)

I'm very @bot-pilled so I'm excited to have @kristaletz (Ent GTM at @SpaceXAI) join The Signal's Live Show this Thursday to walk us through the top ways she (and the team at SpaceXAI) are using Grok Bots for GTM. Krista will cover the top use cases live (but, all of them are covered in the article linked below): BUT WAIT, there's more... THE Outbound PHD himself, the only person I keep 'Notifications' on for on LinkedIn posts, the goat of outbound, early Clay adopter/employee, early Cursor user for GTM, the one and only... @ENowoslawski is ALSO joining on Thursday to share how he's using Grok Bot. Eric is going to cover: - Why he loves Grok Bot and how is it a categorical change - Live example of launching a campaign with Grok Bot and the @clay_gtm CLI live - Using Cron jobs to keep track of common metrics And both Krista and Eric will answer all our questions, live. ••• Grok Bot has been the most magical AI experience (for me) since Claude Code (Opus 4.6 in Dec/Jan) for me. Before that was ChatGPT. I'm excited to learn from two experts on how to use Grok Bot more effectively. Save your spot for Thursday's Live Show → "Grok Bot for GTM": Thursday, Sep 3rd at 11am PT PS: There may be a giveaway for those who are on the Live Show 👀
