Earlier this week, I was at
@SpaceXAI for a Grok
@Bot Founder Build Night featuring Harper Insure. The SpaceXAI and Harper team
demoed Grok Bot and various workflows of how Harper uses Cursor agents
This is the core idea.
Bots running operations. Not a bot thinking for you.
The skills that matter today are critical thinking, problem-solving, and orchestration. Not just using a tool, but becoming someone who thrives while tools evolve.
You will hear a different story. About learning how to use Grok Bot and trusting the bot to think for you.
That’s how the idea dies.
The bot gives you an answer. You take it without questioning or adding your own original thought.
AI is not here to think for you. It’s here to brainstorm with you so you, the human, land on better options.
We’ve seen this wave before
San Francisco rewired daily life with new products that changed entire industries.
Twitter made news and media real-time
Instagram changed photography, venues, and tourism
Lyft and Uber disrupted ride-sharing and taxis
Airbnb transformed hospitality
Each one looked like just a product, but changed the way people move, share, and connect. All while creating new categories and opportunities for people to build on and launch businesses.
Bots are the next wave
Bots and agents are next.
They’ll run small business ops, internal processes in big companies, software dev, coaching, media, and automation everywhere. Agents today need a modern backend and infrastructure to run at scale. (hint
convex.ai)
Grok Bot is not a pile of scripts. It’s a desk you talk to. Focused on human-led work.
Orchestration is the big-picture skill
You see an organization and spot what bots can automate. Then you have bots run and manage operations alongside you.
Harper’s CRM plus Grok Bot shows this in a GTM shop. It’s not trivia from prompts.
Critical thinking happens next to the bot. You don’t just accept answers. You question, add your own view, and improve. Or you build the app to enhance your workflow and day-to-day tasks, with convex.dev as your backend, of course.
The better option remains yours.
The bigger loop
This isn’t a skill frozen in time.
It’s about continuous learning tied to who you are becoming.
The skill is critical thinking and problem-solving, orchestrated by human identity. Bots and agents guide but do not replace.
This is how you thrive as agents change software and AI impacts every business on earth.
In other words, just call me BOO (Bot Orchestration Officer).

@Convex-hosted app.
