Do you actually know who's on your ballot? I had AI build me a ballot dashboard for where I live: what each candidate has said, with a citable source, and how it could impact my household, like taxes and living costs.
My prompt asks AI to be "a strictly nonpartisan research assistant. Don't tell me…
People are worried that AI can forget everything. Well, mine can't.
This week someone posted "Grok Bot is cooked" after losing months of work. My take: "Grok Bot is a workspace. It's a service. It's not a product you can touch." So I fixed this for myself back in August, with an Obsidian vault on m…
Yesterday I was a student at Anthropic's small and medium business class here in Savannah, a seminar on using AI as a small business owner, with about a hundred local business owners. After I signed up, they asked us to photograph the event, so I learned in the session and then ran a headshot stati…
Tech keeps pushing prices down, so why do houses, groceries and school keep costing more? AI and robots are going after scarcity itself: AI inference is getting about 10x cheaper a year, and the cost for AI to drive a robot through a task fell from $2.36 to $0.38 between July and September 2026 (Mo…

My Grok Bot turned 20 years of photography emails into a 10,000+ contact list (9,000+ already opted in), segmented it, and built an Obsidian "brain" I can browse, all from a voice command mid-workout. Then the fix that genuinely changed my life: having AI pull my family off call lists and…
My Grok Bot's 5:30 AM briefing, the "Commander Paper," told me a Falcon 9 would be visible from Savannah, Georgia this morning. So I skipped the gym, put the 2x extender on my 70-200, and ran to the end of my freezing driveway to catch it. From there it turned into a morning of space, AI, and optim…
This week my AI bots launched my podcast on Spotify and Apple, took the ads and bloatware off my smart TV, turned a $50 photo frame into a family dashboard, and set up my new company email.On this episode:- How I run about 30 AI bots with one commander bot, Uno- Grok Voice 3.0 and the voice briefin…
In this first episode, Bud tells how his Grok Bot bought getfluent.si for $11.54 with a single-use X Money virtual card while he was out on a 10K run, and what agent shopping could mean for the web and advertising. He then uses 20+ years as a photographer, from film to digital to smartphones, to ma…
