That’s a wrap on Compile NYC! “Building Something Worth Using” was a look back at the early design iterations of Grok Bot, and a look forward to how we’re evolving the personal assistant into something entire teams can work with. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and the team that made it happen!

This has fundamentally changed how our team works. We’re moving from everyone having their own AI assistant to entire teams working with the same bots. Really excited to finally get this into people’s hands. Try it out and let us know what you think!
Introducing Grok Bot 1.0. AI teammates that work alongside your whole team. Share Bots, collaborate with them in Slack and Teams, invite them to meetings, and watch them learn and become more helpful.

Most AI products still feel single-player. Even with teams of agents, it’s usually one person directing the work. The next frontier is multiplayer: humans and agents collaborating around shared goals, context, and responsibilities. Team Bots were our first step toward that future, and it’s already changing how I work with my team.
Our team built a Team Bot that gives everyone at the company on-demand access to a data scientist. PMs use Data Bot to investigate product usage, marketers use it to measure campaign results, and teams across the company use it to build dashboards and track key metrics.

sorry for blasting you with the front flash after all that blue light exposure
The lights pointing at the stage were blasting my eyeballs with blue light which makes it harder to fall asleep and fragments sleep. So we hung out in the dark and it was so much better.

the design mode glowup needs to be studied
New in Cursor design mode: Annotate. Give agents visual prompts: edit elements, draw on the page, and review your designs at different screen sizes.

nothing beats watching the product get noticeably better every single week. this pace of shipping and iteration is honestly kinda addictive.
We've made some improvements to Grok Bot’s quality, polish, and speed. Cards in chat have a new design with a cleaner layout.

Gotta respect how hard they committed to the squarer screen (iPhone duo and now this) big product decisions are at their best when the conviction carries through the whole ecosystem.

The X Subscription is finally out today. There’s been a lot of excitement around what these products could look like together, and a lot of care and collaboration went into bringing this experience to life.
We've unified plans across Grok, Cursor, and X Premium. Introducing The X Subscription.

Someone pointed out that voice call demos should probably have sound. So here’s another exploration, this time with audio
