we just launched a group chat for designers building with Grok @bot! come share ideas, get inspired, and build alongside other designers.
join us here:
less prompting. more help before you ask.
really enjoyed this conversation with @petergyang on how we use Grok Bot across work and life, and what changes once you start trusting bots with more than just one-off tasks. thanks for having us!
"Everything I touch with my keyboard and mouse, I try to delegate to my bots."
Here's my new episode with @poteto and @pengzheng_, the eng and design leads for Grok @bot, where they showed me the 14 bots they use for work and life, including:
→ A design bot that turns one keyframe into a full user flow
→ An eng lead bot that manages a team of eng bots
→ How to trust your bots with more of your work
Some quotes from both:
"I like to call it the Michelin kitchen…when you say software factory, it has this connotation of mass manufactured slop."
"Sometimes I actually don't even look at the PR until after it's landed and then I'm like, 'Oh, okay. Yeah, that looks good.'"
"I think it ultimately comes back to trust. First, watch your bot work and correct it. Turn what worked into a skill. Once it nails the task in one shot, make it a routine."

fun night sharing how we think about designing Grok Bot and how we use it day to day. thanks for having us!
tonight at our @grok @bot build night in LA for ✨designers✨
s/o @johnbai @pengzheng_ for sharing more on their design philosophies and demo'ing their @bot set ups
explore semantic autocomplete with Jev
describe something loosely, and it uses the context it has to suggest matches and the probability of each being what you mean, so prompting keeps up with your train of thought.

the curved back of my Samsung The Serif TV made it impossible to mount a Philips Hue lightstrip properly. it’s bothered me for a year.
today, i asked AI to design a custom bracket, printed a few iterations, and ended up with the exact solution i needed.
we’re entering an era where even the most oddly specific, one-person problems are worth solving.

drive, shower, or walk the dog. still getting stuff done with Grok Bot.
had a lot of fun chatting with Claire about how we use @bot. thanks for having us!
"This ep is SO GOOD"
- our designer
If you're like me and love those little @bot icons, animations, and little moments of UX delight, you'll love this ep of How I AI, where I sat down with @johnbai and @pengzheng_ to learn how the GrokBot design team uses AI agents to design things better than ever (even from the gym.)
John and Peng show us:
- a hyper-personal homepage that Grok Bot maintains
- how Figma Bro the design bot does design production
- turning voice memos into full production code

see u in LA 👋
Projects totally changed how i use cursor
Introducing Projects, a new way of working in Cursor.
Rather than creating a chat for every task, you work with a coordinator agent in a single, persistent thread.
Like @bot, your agent is always on, proactively manages work with subagents, and improves over time.

everybody's making 3d games now, so i made every storefront I checked in at on my website a tiny 3d miniature, still generated from a single photo.
what's the ugliest storefront in your city? i want to see if the pipeline survives it.

wrote down some of the design thinking behind Grok Bot.
persistent roles, clear state, scoped context, coordinated teams — an interface designed to move you from operating AI to delegating work.

design with code, directly on canvas.
congrats on the launch @putrikarunian 🎉
it's happening 🥹
@lunagraphHQ is open
not just a design canvas, but a visual editor for React
this means you can design the full experience: from exploration to defining every state, interaction, and flow. and when it feels right, hand devs nicely packaged code, UX and all
come design with code this weekend 🌸

not one agent. a team of them.
@lingxi shows what happens when your Bots specialize, meet, and ship together.
that's the future.
see you in sep!
Design teams are rewriting how they work, and nobody agrees on what the new version looks like yet.
On September 10 we’re hosting Design x AI in San Francisco. Nine designers from @SpaceXAI, @SlackHQ, @evelegalai, @tryramp, @Atlassian, and @Amplitude_HQ will show what's actually working.
Almost full, register now:

my personal website updates itself every time i go somewhere.
i text my Grok Bot a photo of the place. it turns it into a 3D clay diorama, makes day + night versions, and pushes it live to my homepage in 2 minutes.
no CMS. no admin panel. just texting a @bot from a ramen shop. 🍜

the best Bots shouldn’t stay personal.
turn yours into a template and share it with anyone.
did a quick demo of Grok @bot at the @a16z Design Engineer Fellowship demo night.
really enjoyed seeing what everyone in the cohort has been working on. so many thoughtful, beautifully crafted demos across design and engineering.

you can't put the same designer, PM, and engineer on five projects at once.
unless they're @bot s.
Grok Bot v0.23.0 now has Channels. same team, different projects, same time.
