  If you're building a Grok Bot team, I'd start with these six roles. I moved some work from other agent tools into Grok Bot and reassigned ownership. A Bot needs recurring work, its own memory and task list, and regular handoffs. One-off capabilities stay as Skills or routines. 1. Nexus (Coordination) This is the Bot I use most. It reads today's tasks and each Bot's checkpoint, sets priorities, then hands the work to the right role. It also runs the nightly review, but only updates one TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md file. Conflicts, external messages, spending, and changes to important files come back to me. 2. Scout (Research and Leads) Scout reads X, GitHub, documentation, papers, and videos, and runs the daily content radar. Every result needs a source, a reason it is worth following, and a clear next owner. Content signals go to Quill, customer leads go to Guide, and technical issues go to Forge. 3. Quill (Content) Quill reads my writing rules, previous work, and approved phrasing, then turns research into posts, articles, and replies. When facts are missing, it asks Scout. For code or product details, it asks Forge. It prepares drafts but never publishes on its own. 4. Forge (Engineering and Automation) Forge writes code, builds automations and MCPs, deploys, and verifies the result. Guide can call it when a customer asks a technical question. Nexus can hand it repetitive work to turn into a tool. Every delivery needs test results, screenshots, or files I can inspect. A delivery does not count as complete without that evidence. 5. Guide (Customers and Delivery) Guide manages customers, prospects, briefs, feedback, delivery, and follow-up. Each important customer gets a separate context packet containing recent conversations, current goals, promises made, and open problems. Guide asks Scout to research a company or contact, and asks Forge for technical answers. Customer emails and messages remain drafts. 6. Ledger (Finance and Reconciliation) Ledger reads Wise, PayPal, invoices, and subscription data through my self-hosted MCP, then handles reconciliation, revenue records, and anomaly alerts. The real API keys stay on my own server. Ledger can prepare payment or refund recommendations, but every financial write still needs my approval. Once the roles are set, give each Bot the Plugins it needs. For example, Nexus can use Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and Granola. Quill can read Drive and Notion. Guide can use Gmail, Slack, and meeting notes. Forge can connect to code repositories and cloud services. Ledger continues to use my self-hosted MCP. Repeated methods become Skills. Work that needs to run on a schedule becomes a routine. That creates a basic loop: Plugins provide data and tools → a Skill defines the method → a routine triggers on schedule → the Bot completes the task or hands it to another Bot → I approve external messages, publishing, and financial actions For example, Guide's heartbeat checks the customer inbox on a schedule. When a new email arrives, the Gmail Plugin reads the full thread. Guide then opens that customer's context packet to see what was discussed before and what is currently blocked. If the email contains a technical question, Guide asks Forge to verify the answer. Once Forge replies, Guide writes the email draft and labels it: BOT DRAFT · NOT SENT · HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED Nexus adds the email to my pending report and reminds me that a customer reply needs review. The email is sent only after I approve it. I wouldn't create separate Bots for meeting prep, 1:1 reviews, data analysis, revenue forecasting, slides, or call reviews. Meeting prep and 1:1 reviews are Nexus routines. Ledger or Guide can run forecasting and data analysis when needed. Slides are a Skill called by Quill or Forge. Scout finds prospects, and Guide handles the follow-up. Bot = owns an ongoing work queue and needs its own memory Skill = a reusable method Routine = a task triggered on a schedule Packet = context for one customer or project Connector / MCP = access to external data and tools I start new capabilities as Skills. Once something has recurring work, its own state, and frequent handoffs with other Bots, then I create a Bot for it. This takes me back to the OpenClaw setup I built six months ago. I used almost the same roles then, but had to wire the whole thing together myself across a VPS, Vercel, and Supabase. The part I wanted most was smooth coordination: Bots messaging each other in the background, handing off tasks, and talking in a group. I spent way too many hours trying to make that work and probably lost some hair over it lol. The UX was still clunky. Six months later, bigger companies are moving into this space. They’re treating coordination as part of the product, which is a very different route from the DIY agent stacks I was building. Grok Bot’s group chats still aren’t perfect, but the handoffs and background messaging already feel much more natural.

  @unhealthytruth Erin, I'm looking into this. Perhaps you can too. The mother is running this foundation in her son's name, The Jansen Rane Panettiere Art Foundation. But it doesn't have a 501c3 non-profit chairty status. So where is the money going, how is the money accounted for and how much is the mother paying herself? And how much in taxes has she paid on the revenue. The donation icon on the website connects to Paypal, but it is currently not working on the site.

  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL . Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder maximizing value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  If you've missed $SERV earlier, It's time to start accumulating slowly from here. The market sentiment is not good right now, It may also go down further but this price seems reasonable Order 1: CMP Order 2: 0.195$ Order 3: 0.015$ The team is building silently in bear market. - Joining Emerging Payments Association Asia (EPAA) alongside global giants like Mastercard, PayPal, and HSBC - Pushing hard into regulated finance + agentic payments with v3 in development + SOC2/ISO certifications underway - Look where @openservai logo sitting in middle of tech giants.

  @robertoblake Yeah absolutely man! (Long reply fyi) Basically Jestr runs paid campaigns for games, mostly indie titles and more. You apply for the campaigns you actually want to make content for, then create short-form content around the game based on the brief. A lot of them only require around 25 to 30 seconds of content, and depending on the campaign you might be playing the game, reacting to a trailer, or using footage they provide. The part I really like is that they combine your views across YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram for the campaign payout rather than judging each platform separately. I was on there for months before I really gave it a proper chance, but once I started only choosing games that actually suited my content and audience, I realised how useful it could be. When it comes to the promotional side, some studios have required tags, talking points, disclosure wording or specific guidelines they want followed. Those are a must. Outside of that, Jestr essentially asks you to follow your own country’s laws around sponsored content and whatever extra requirements the studio sets. The briefs are usually very clear about what is and isn’t required. Each campaign usually has its own budget and a maximum guaranteed payout available. Some campaigns might allow one submission, while others allow several. Those submissions all contribute towards your total performance for that campaign, rather than each one being treated completely separately. The views are pretty simple too. Your qualifying views are tallied across the submitted content and platforms. Some campaigns do require a minimum number of views before earnings kick in, usually around 1K to 2K combined views depending on the campaign, but that minimum is tallied across all your approved submissions and platforms. Once you hit the minimum requirement on those campaigns, your qualifying views start contributing towards the payout until you reach the campaign cap. Payouts can be made directly to your home country’s bank account or through PayPal. I personally prefer the bank option because PayPal can potentially hit you with extra fees or conversion costs. The biggest thing for me is that I don’t think you need to spam every campaign available to make it worthwhile. I’ve had a much better experience just picking games I actually like, or ones I think fit my audience, and making content around those. Happy to break down the payout side or show some examples of campaigns I’ve personally done too if people are interested.

  $PYPL takeover talks never actually died. WSJ reports the Stripe-Advent consortium is still circling after PayPal turned down its 60.50-a-share offer in July — roughly 53B, backed by about 50B of committed bank financing. Turning down a bid and ending a deal turned out to be two different things.

  I'm holding my status as a former video editor and YouTuber for the time being because of another PayPal email confirming the permanent deactivation of my account after I contacted support about resolving disputes and negative balances. I can't use another payment system to refund my VGen clients and resolve the disputes from PayPal as it's locked on the payment platform, and sadly Wise, Payoneer and Stripe - the alternatives for client payments - isn't accessible in my country. It is potential that I'm requesting @_VGen_ support to ban my account permanently due to this mess - and I can't open my comms any longer - due to both my broken reputation and my PayPal account being banned. I'll update you when there's more info.

SpaceX had just survived its third consecutive rocket failure in a row. Musk had already put over $100M of his PayPal money into both companies, and was personally so cash-poor he was borrowing money from friends to cover rent. “I remember waking up the Sunday before Christmas in 2008, and thinking to myself, man, I never thought I was someone who could ever be capable of a nervous breakdown. I felt this is the closest I’ve ever come, because it seemed pretty dark.” A last-minute financing round, pulled together by existing investors, closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, 2008. “That funding round completed 6pm on Christmas Eve in 2008. Last hour of last day possible, as investors were leaving town that night and we were 3 days away from bankruptcy.” Days earlier, on December 23, NASA had awarded SpaceX a $1.6B cargo resupply contract, its first major win after three straight Falcon 1 failures. The Department of Energy’s ATVM program, created that same year to fund fuel-efficient vehicle development, eventually gave Tesla access to a loan facility as well, money the company only drew down starting in 2010, once it was reimbursing actual invoices rather than surviving on the promise of it. Six months later, in June 2009, General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, needing a federal bailout to survive. Musk has called 2008 the worst year of his life. He was also getting divorced at the same time. Tesla didn’t file. It went public a year later.
