I Turned Grok Bot Into My CTO
My CTO is a bot now. One Grok Bot owns the repo, hires its own help when it gets buried, and I stopped being the bottleneck on my own projects. Here is the whole workflow. Every project gets one Direct Responsible Agent. I hand that bot the GitHub repo and tell it to run the show, so it spins up cloud agents off my machine, follows the PRs, and reaches for poteto-mode when a task actually needs the rigor. Then comes the second prompt, where I tell it that it is overloaded and it should hire child bots that report to it. After that the bots talk to each other instead of talking to me. One lands the PRs, one works the Convex backend, one owns auth, and I read the threads view-only. Two honest things before you copy this. It burns tokens. I went past two billion in a single day because I told my bot to use pstack for everything, and the fix was saving pstack for the hard tasks. And it does not replace engineers. It takes me out of the coordinating seat, which is a different claim. If you bounced off the more advanced agent setups, this is the version I would hand you.

The mode skill inside pstack is poteto-mode (poteto, with an e). ACCESS AND COST, THE WAY I SAY IT ON CAMERA Grok Bot is early beta. I reach it through Cursor Ultra (about $200 a month) and Super Grok Heavy (about $300 a month, which ties in Cursor Ultra).
