- Grok
- The model family from xAI (operating as SpaceXAI after the 2026 combination). A general assistant with a live view of X and the web.
- Grok Bot
- Always-on teammate with its own computer. Signs into tools, runs in parallel, returns work for approval. Beta on SuperGrok and certain Cursor plans.
- Grok Build
- The coding / app agent that ships sites and tools from a description. This magazine is an example of the kind of public desk it can stand up.
- Charter
- The Bot’s job description: mission, tools, definition of done, escalation, sample run.
- Shift
- A four-hour edition of AI Pulse, aligned to UTC. Six named shifts per day.
- Live wire
- The scan of GitHub, Substack, X, Hacker News, Dev.to, and primary posts for this shift.
- Residual
- Money that returns — retainers, memberships, catalogs, tips — whether or not you are at the desk today.
- Passive
- Residual you are not actively working this week. Still needs scheduled maintenance.
- X Money
- In-app dollars to an X user. Money tab → Send Money → @stebly. No public checkout URL yet.
- Review hour
- The human pass over Bot output. This is usually what a client is actually buying.
- Template
- A copyable Bot setup or runbook another operator can install. Narrow jobs sell. “Do my business” does not.
- Main Street
- Local shops and practices that want a job done, not a keynote about agents.
- Hot
- A briefing or wire item a lot of other operators are citing this shift. Marked with a lightning bolt, with three paragraphs of detail instead of two.
