AI Summary

This edition of How I AI features Claire's hands-on review of Grok Bot, Cursor Origin, and the Grok 4.6 model, including blind comparisons against GPT-5.6, Claude Sonnet 5, and Opus 5. The second episode covers Ryan Carson's experience spending $20,000 on Devin in one month as a solo founder, sharing his workflow for managing 10-15 AI agents across engineering, QA, and customer success.

Key Facts

✓Grok Bot's multi-account connectors support multiple emails and Slack workspaces in a single bot, a feature competitors like Codex and Claude haven't matched.
✓Grok 4.6 tied with GPT-5.6 Sol at the top of the host's blind evaluations (the 'Claire Index'), beating Sonnet 5 and Opus 5.
✓Ryan Carson runs 10-15 concurrent Devin threads with a handwritten priority list and a 'Watchdog' workflow that reviews every law firm account for issues.

Author Takes

Bullish

Grok Bot

Grok Bot's multi-account connectors solve a problem every other agent platform ignores.

Skeptical

Cursor Origin

Origin is a compelling vision but not quite ready for prime time; it still feels like a more attractive GitHub with fewer features.

Neutral

AI coding agents

Producing more with AI does not automatically lead to a better product; constraints and human judgment still matter.
