new blog post 🎉 I built an AI squad and had my most productive Saturday ever

so I usually wait a few weeks before trying a new AI tool, but after watching @atmoio's video like 6 times I caved and installed Grok Bot on a friday night 😅

Here’s the story 👇

I also did a video yapping about it first, here it is if you'd rather watch than read ☺️

I built 6 bots: Dorothea (chief of staff), Em (eng manager), Dottie (dev), Queenie (QA), Francis (CMO), and Iggy (infra)

and yeah they all start with the first letter of what they do, I have a problem 😂

in about 6 hours on just My Yarn Stash we shipped CSV + Ravelry import, an undo-import flow, migrated prod from Heroku to @FastAPIcloud, set auth custom domain @auth0, and updated all the docs

the Ravelry/CSV import is the big one since users kept asking for it

the @bot quota went FAST 😭

two things helped, I asked Dorothea to keep the bots' chatter terse, and @poteto (one of the Grok bot devs) pointed out that routines can eat your tokens. bots LOVE making routines so I keep an eye on them

Lately @bot improved and I noticed the quota is going by slower than before even doing the same amount of work so yay!

I also hit the limit on my CloudAgent quota so I had to deploy alternative coding routes, but that’s a story for another time 😉
