SPACEXAI 🔥: A new Grok Bot agent has been introduced in early beta to Grok Heavy, Cursor Ultra and Cursor Team Premium users!

Users are able to create and run their own bots to execute real tasks. Grok Bots operate their own computers and have access to a wide range of tools.

We need it on more plans 👀

OPENAI 🔥: Codex app is now finally available on Linux!

> Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, Fedora 43 and 44 are officially supported.

> Computer Use is not available there yet.

OPENAI 🔥: Users can now keep projects, chats, skills, and plugins in sync between Codex, ChatGPT Work, and other AI agents.

That's neat, especially if you regularly test different subscriptions from different labs.

ICYMI 👀: In case you don’t have Supergrok Heavy or Cursor Ultra, you can activate a 7 days free trail for Grok Bot on desktop.

The option appears as soon you try to log in to the Grok Bot app and getting redirected to the browser to upgrade. The first option available will be a free trail.

The usage is quite limited but enough to play around with it.

* I am not 100% sure if it is available in all countries but should work with the US VPN at least.

Google is experimenting with a new toggle between Chat and Tasks on Gemini Enterprise.

This looks familiar 👀

Additionally, there is a new custom Google’s agent for running marketing campaigns.

> Create marketing campaigns, embedded in Gemini Enterprise.

SpaceXAI updated its voice agent builder with a possibility to trigger post conversations action. The action can be an SMS, Email or an API call.

> System variables in API tools - Pass the caller's number into an API request to fetch their account and give them personalized information.

> Outbound SMS with Twilio numbers - Text the active caller mid-call from an imported Twilio number, for confirmations, links, and anything easier to read than to hear.

> Post-call notifications via email - Email up to three people when a call ends, with duration, channel, and a link to the conversation. Set a minimum call length so short ones stay quiet.
