How we built Grok Bot in a month | Roman Ugarte (SpaceXAI)

Roman Ugarte, who leads product for Grok Bot at SpaceX/xAI and was employee 15 at Cursor, describes how a small team built the knowledge-work AI agent from scratch in about a month, guided by early decisions to run entirely in the cloud with bots that have their own computers. He details manually onboarding hundreds of early users, aggressively unshipping features, and the vision of AI bots as autonomous teammates rather than chat interfaces.
