grok @bot combined with cloud agents is a magical experience! here's my favorite use case:
1. create a new team engineer bot and add it to slack
2. @ your bot whenever you want it to do some coding work
3. you can even tell it to create new Projects, which is a way to group together many related agents into one conversation
you can use any model available on cursor with these cloud agents, and since they each have their own computer, it frees up your bot to be more of a manager rather than write the code itself!
Grok Bot is now more powerful for building software.
Bots can hand off coding tasks to Cursor, manage your PRs with GitHub and Origin plugins, and share video demos of what they build.

very excited to share one of my favorite new features! grok @bot is now multiplayer. make a team bot which has access to your plugins, skills, credentials, and then add it to slack with one click. it's super easy!
guess what i named my bot 🤪 i love chatting with it and firing off cloud agents
much more to come
Introducing Team Bots, shared AI teammates that learn as your team works with them.
Give your Team Bot the skills, plugins, and credentials it needs for its role, then work with it in Slack or Grok Bot.

we started a game studio last week with grok @bot on the grok bot galaxy livestream! here's our recap
you can watch our past streams on x.ai/galaxy and play our studio's first game at thursdayarena.com/
in addition to all the tips we dropped on stream, we have x.ai/bot/guides that will help you use grok bot to do everything from marketing, development, to GTM, and more. let us know if you need any help!

here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production
this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly

im surprised we still have so many people playing the game (thursdayarena.com/) we made during the livestream!
my bot factory made a season 3 just for you - new mechanics, a ton of new cards, and lots of new items in the shop

uh oh we got ~70k signups for the livestream
chat are we cooked? send us some ideas!
Next week, @mattyp @roshan_s and myself will be speedrunning building a new company using only Grok @Bot on the Grok Bot Galaxy livestream! We’ve been given just 3 days to do it, or else we might be turned into pizza 🤪 it will be so fun and I hope to see you on the livestream!
I will have to miss the Cursor Compile conf in London and Amsterdam though. I will instead record an extended version of my talk and make it freely available here. So stay tuned for that post!

clean up your sidebar!
one tip I have is that you can think of Projects in cursor like a special folder for your chats! a coordinator agent supervises all the agents inside of the project, and you can drag in existing chats from your sidebar into the project
if you have many related chats scattered everywhere, consider moving them into a project! even completed agents can be dragged in - it's a great source of context for the rest of your project

the reason i'm so chronically online on X is that i owe my entire career to it. every job i've had has been through relationships i've made here, and as i hit 50k - a number i never thought i'd see on my profile - i can't help but feel a little emotional.
you see, i started building up my profile when @wifelette and @tomdale took a chance on me many years ago - a nobody in melbourne who was still learning how to code in js - and invited me to speak at @EmberConf. i had never been to a conference at that point in my life, let alone speak at one. they found me through my tweets sharing my blogposts about learning the framework.
i'm not exaggerating when i say that my life changed after doing that talk. public speaking was my greatest fear and i was visibly shaking for the first 5 minutes of my talk, but somehow i managed to remember everything i had practiced. that talk was how i got my first real job (and moved to the US) at @DockYard, thanks to @bcardarella also taking a chance on me. throughout this time i continued posting on twitter and building up my profile little by little.
after you've done one talk, the next one is a little easier and so i kept doing more of it - seeing the world i had never been exposed to before. i got my job @netflix the same way, through doing a talk, and people taking a chance on me. some of you may be surprised to know that i never majored in CS and that i'm a self taught programmer. so going through a FAANG interview was inconceivable to me at that point in my life. i actually tried to back out of the interview, but they convinced me to do it anyway, and im glad that i did.
i then got my job at facebook through Dan Abramov (i miss him here!!), who i met at a conference talk i did in London. we stayed in touch on twitter for a while before he reached out to me asking if i would be interested in working on the react team (uh, hell yes?! but wait, me??). massive imposter syndrome has followed me everywhere.
now at @cursor_ai and @SpaceXAI, i feel so lucky that i get to work alongside such crazy talented, driven, and ambitious people who want to build beautiful products for everyone. and i'm also still in disbelief that this many people care about what i have to say here.
thank you everyone for taking a chance on me, and thanks @X for being there for me this whole time 🤍

made a new /no-comments skill for fun, lmk what you think
github.com/cursor/plugins/bl…
it spawns a deranged guy called the Comment Sicko who gets a real thrill from deleting useless comments

organic architecture
good codebases have always had strong foundations and constraints. these files go here. this kind of code goes there. the codebase is held together either by catering to the lowest common denominator developer using conventional frameworks and languages, or by strict adherence to a style guide enforced by code review.
the arrival of an infinite number of monkeys armed with keyboards have obsoleted the latter. codebases designed for agents need hard constraints so that even the dumbest agent (and pilot) can contribute meaningfully. the chaos must be tamed.
refactoring your codebase and choosing a tech stack with strong type systems/compiler diagnostics has far greater impact than AGENTS.md and tweaking your skills. hard constraints and well thought out architecture guide agents to do the right thing by default. the best rules are in your code.
invest accordingly.

i knew i wanted to leave meta as early as last year. but i had no idea what was next. i wasn't having fun at work any longer and every hour spent there felt like agony.
during my 1 month recharge, i spent the whole time working on side projects. it was incredibly liberating building whatever i wanted, without worrying about aligning stakeholders and psc.
it was immediately obvious to me that if i couldn't stand an hour at work but could work 16 hour days on my side project and feel happy, that something had to change.
at @cursor_ai i voluntarily work 12 hours+ 7 days a week. why? because it's fun!
find something that makes you smile and lose track of time and you will do the best work of your life
