“Peng Zheng and Lauren Tan use Grok Bot as persistent, role-specific agents coordinated through group chats, Figma MCP, Notion, cloud agents, skills, and routines.”

#3 ▶️ We Built Grok Bot. Here Are Our 14 Best Bots | Peng Zheng & Lauren Tan Peter Yang Peng Zheng and Lauren Tan use Grok Bot as persistent, role-specific agents coordinated through group chats, Figma MCP, Notion, cloud agents, skills, and routines. The 14 highlighted bots include agents that expand one manually created key frame into an end-to-end Figma flow, buy filament, manage a listing whose price was to be lowered by $5 each week if there was no interest, audit bot transcripts, and delegate engineering tasks; Grok Bot’s agent-friendly codebase also permits some pull requests to auto-merge before Tan reads them.

“The updates span coding, agentic workflows, multi-step reasoning, cybersecurity, music generation, weather AI, and more accurate video analysis with reduced token usage and costs.”

#2 𝕏 Google AI recapped this week’s shipments: Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash Cyber, Lyria 3.5, WeatherNext 3 from Google DeepMind and Google Research, and Agentic Video Understanding. The updates span coding, agentic workflows, multi-step reasoning, cybersecurity, music generation, weather AI, and more accurate video analysis with reduced token usage and costs.
