Overheard on X

“Built from scratch by Grok 4.5 + Grok Build in UE5.8: a cyberpunk L-corner street with neon facades, rain, signs, and crowds walking through the scene. End-to-end, the run took 10.75M tokens, 36.5 minutes, and only ~$12.4 at API pricing.”

“I switched ideasai.com's auto app and landing builder to Grok.”

“After using Grok Bot nonstop for the past week I'm going to say it: it's the best AI agent out there right now. Dead simple and just works. It eliminates the 10,000 decisions, configs, and fixes that scare people off.”

“Grok 4.5 in Grok Build created an FPS game in under an hour. The prompt was simple. I told it to write a game design document and pull free assets from the web. Then I had it create a TODO.md with implementation phases and run a loop to build out each phase.”

“I connected my company inbox to Grok @bot and gave it one job: Get customers for my SaaS. This morning it created 3 different emails campaigns. I still hit send manually. Wish me luck.”

“Just built this space battle game with Grok 4.5 in Grok Build, and it absolutely nailed it. I literally gave it a simple two-line prompt, asked it to research the idea and build the game, and it did the rest.”

“Grok @bot has me blown away by what it has been able to accomplish in the first 18 hours of fiddling around with it... It outreached potential sponsorships and emailed contacts for great opportunities. Again, all while I was still in bed before work.”

“GROK BOT IS THE FIRST AI THING THAT CHANGED WHAT MY COMPANY SIZE IS ALLOWED TO ATTEMPT. we are twenty people. a multi agent back office was never on the table for us. it meant an integrator, a six figure statement of work, and a quarter of somebody else's calendar before a single thing moved. grok bot runs on a subscription we already had. no contract, no procurement, no kickoff call. i had two agents talking to netsuite in an afternoon.”
