Answer

Grok Bot can build a working productivity product quickly, but making money from it still requires selling it, which is deferred to part two.

AI Summary

Grok Bot builds a working productivity product from one prompt in 31 minutes and 37 seconds: a Mac menu bar app plus a Chrome extension that blocks Gmail, the Mac Mail app, websites, and apps during scheduled periods. The product supports an accountability password, schedule changes, lists of frequently visited websites, and password sharing with a spouse or loved one. The working version is intended for personal use and eventual sale, but selling it is deferred to part two.

Key Points

  • AI agents perform actions rather than only returning answers.
  • The product uses forced time boxing to restrict access to Gmail, the Mac Mail app, websites, and apps during defined periods.
  • The initial schedule allows Gmail and the Mac Mail app from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. every day; access is blocked outside those hours.
  • The blocker needs a Mac menu bar app plus a browser extension because a website cannot force-quit the Mac Mail app.
  • Claude recommends creating an Apple developer account and a Chrome Web Store developer account, testing the habit for $0, and using an autonomous build-test-fix process.
  • Grok Bot connects to Stripe, Replit, and GitHub, builds the Chrome extension, and tests 23 items with green results.
  • At 31 minutes and 37 seconds of recording, the working version is installed and can block Gmail according to the schedule.
  • Changing the schedule to allow Gmail until 10:00 p.m. on Friday makes Gmail accessible, and changing it back blocks Gmail again.

Business ideas

Build a product that blocks distracting websites and computer apps during scheduled periods, while allowing selected services such as Gmail during defined windows. Sell access to the finished product as software.

For
People who struggle to stay accountable to calendar events and want software to enforce focused work periods.
Solves
Calendar reminders do not reliably prevent distraction or force users to complete tasks. The product restricts access to distracting websites and apps, and can limit email access to a defined time window.
  • Morning Lock: a Mac app and Chrome extension that restricted Gmail and the Mac Mail app to a scheduled morning window.

00:00 It's already done. What the crap? Oh my gosh, it works. That's crazy. Okay, that was very easy. Oh jeez. It's an AI tool that goes out and actually does stuff for you and not just returns answers to you. We have a sellable product here. That was one prompt. It just built this for me. Freaking incredible. Now I need to sell it. Everyone's talking about AI agents and lately they've all been talking about Grockbot which is the tool built on Grock which is like Chad GBT and Claude that will go out and do stuff for you.

00:29 So today I'm going to find out is the Hyper Rail, is it not? Can I build and code a sellable software product without any coding knowledge in less than an hour? I want to build a Chrome extension and an app, a Mac app specifically for something that I need solved. I've never touched Crockpot in my life. Today we're going to see if we can do it. And I'm going to share my screen and show you exactly how to do it too because let's get real, none of us really know how to code.

00:53 Let's dive in. Okay, so I just got out of massage and during the massage I of course didn't have my phone so I of course was able to think and I was thinking about Grockbot, believe it or not, and I was wondering what it could do. I've never used Grockbot before. This is not sponsored by Grockpot. This is just me wanting to try the new AI thing. So Grockbot is an agentic AI tool.

01:13 In other words, it's an AI tool that goes out and actually does stuff for you and not just returns answers to you. So, some of my best videos have been the ones where I'm out and about doing something. I get a business idea and then instead of just building it, I build it on screen. So, that's what this is going to be today. I'm downloading Rockbot for the first time ever.

01:26 Here's the business idea that I had. So, I want to build a product that does not exist. I want to build it for myself cuz I think this will help me be more productive. But, I think I could also sell it. I could sell access to it. I think other people would find it productive. So, you've maybe heard of the concept of time boxing, right? A lot of successful people time box.

01:43 They literally go to their calendar and say, you know, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. meditation 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. emails 9:00 a.m. They schedule and plan out their their entire day so they're more productive. Not my thing, but it's hard for me to be accountable to a calendar event that no other human is a part of, right? Whereas, if I put money into something, I will be accountable to it.

02:06 I will do that thing. But that's not what this idea is. My idea is to lock me out of my inbox for the majority of the day. So I have to get caught up on my emails in a specific time frame. So it's like forced time boxing, right? As opposed to like, oh, I put it in my calendar, so now I'm going to do it. No, you won't. I won't. You won't. So originally, this was going to be an app that locked everything on my computer except for my mail app or gmail.com.

02:30 That way, while working during the workday, I was forced to get caught up on my emails during that time. I couldn't get distracted, browse Twitter, whatever. But I don't really like that. So instead, I'm going to do the opposite and I'm going to lock down gmail.com and my mail app for 90 plus% of the time, 95 plus% of the time. On some days, it will be completely locked, like on the weekend, so I don't work.

02:51 But during the week, it will be unlocked. It will be usable until like 10:00 a.m. That way, I will feel pressure to get caught up on all my emails cuz that's something that I struggle to do. That way, I have to finish my emails until 10:00, or else I won't get another shot until the next day. I think that pressure will force me to be more productive.

03:07 And I can use this app for other things, not just email, but for making sure that I just do what I need to do on the computer. Like, it will literally block certain websites or certain apps. So, either I have to stay in there or I can only use it for a defined period of time. Hey, please subscribe to this channel if you're enjoying this content because it takes a lot of work.

03:25 So, thank you. So, I could vibe code this, but I want Grockbot to vibe code it for me because I just had this conversation with Billy and he's a Grockbot expert and he said he's never tried it. He's never had Grockbot go into Replet for him, prompt it for him and then fix it, test the website, test the software, look at the code, test it back and forth cuz that's the hardest and most tedious part of vibe coding something is getting it to being perfect or close enough to perfect to sell the thing or to use the thing

03:52 yourself. So, that's what I'm going to do here. Okay, I'm installing Grockbot. Okay. Okay. All right. It wants me to connect a bunch of stuff. I don't want it to do a bunch of stuff. Billy said, my friend Billy said that you want to treat Grockpot like an employee, right? A good boss, and I'm not saying I'm a good boss cuz I'm not very good at doing this.

04:11 A good boss does not tell an employee, "Do this. Now try this. Do this. Do this. Do this. Do this. Try this work project. Work on that project. I do that. It's not good." A good boss says, "This is your job. Just do this. Just focus on this." That's what I'm going to do here. So, I'm not going to connect it to any of this stuff. Okay, now I'm going to go into Claude and I want Claude to know what I'm doing.

04:28 All right, here's my prompt. I'm going to use Grockbot to code an app for me that I can use myself and eventually sell. I want to prompt Grockpot to go into my Replet account to build this for me. Not just build it, but build, test, fix, build, test, fix over and over until it's ready. The app needs to allow me to open windows of time where my Macmail app plusgmail.com is only accessible from 5:00 a.m.

04:49 to 10 a.m. every day of the week. Outside of those hours, I cannot visit either Gmail inside my arc/curl browser or even open my mail app. This is intended to force me to get to inbox zero every morning since this will be my only opportunity. I can unlock this lock with a password, but ideally only my wife knows this. I guess it needs to function like a Mac app or a Chrome extension or both.

05:08 But Crockbot needs to first build a workable version of this that I can use for myself and ultimately build a website and sell this app as a SAS on this website using my Stripe AI and anything else it needs. wrote a beautiful prompt that is Grogbot friendly using all the technical coding terms I know nothing about so I can just build this with as little intervention for me as possible.

05:25 It is okay to approve any and all Replet overages and charges without my approval not exceeding $100 a day. I really don't want to mess with this. Crockbot needs to keep testing the app for bugs and asking replet to fix it over and over. Okay. Push back from Claude. The blocker has to live on your Mac. Yes, Replet builds web apps. A website can never force quit your mail app.

05:43 So the real build is a Mac menu bar app plus a browser extension. Two things an AI agent physically cannot do for you. Create your Apple developer account and your Chrome web store dev account. Budget 20 minutes total for those. Test the habit first for $0. It is structured in phases with an autonomous build test fix. Okay. So, I don't know what any of this stuff means, but I'm going to try it.

06:06 We're going to copy it. We're going to go back to Grockbot. Claude named it morning lock. So, we'll just we'll go with that even though I don't like it. Okay. There's the prompt. Okay. So, it's working. Ask me for anything you need so I can walk away and be confident you can work uninterrupted. Credit card number, login, etc. Okay, we're going to authorize Stripe.

06:22 Uh, we're going to go back to Stripe test mode. Authorize, resend. Okay, that was very easy. So, it's going to do GitHub and replet next. Okay, I'm not 100% that I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing, but it looks like extension test. That means Chrome extension. I think it's it's already building this thing in the background and it just tested 23 different things and all of them were green.

06:46 So that's kind of wild. GitHub. Okay, so it says open that sign that device. Okay, GitHub is ready. It's already done. What the crap is it already done? It just put the thing in my downloads. It's right there. Okay, Macu bar app is Okay, so it just built a Chrome extension. Okay. Open Chrome colon slt extensions. Okay, there it is. Okay, those are all the domains it's going to block.

07:17 Okay, there's the accountability password. Confirm and start. It already works. Oh my gosh, guys. I've only been recording this. You're seeing the edited version, but it's only been recording for 31 minutes and 37 seconds. And it's done. And then I can change the settings. It's locked right now. Oh yeah, of course it's locked. Yeah, cuz it's supposed to be locked.

07:36 Oh my gosh, it works. That's crazy. But let's say, you know, today is Friday at 4:34 p.m. So, we're going to say it should be unlocked on Friday until 10 p.m. today. Save schedule. Okay. Now, go to Gmail. And it works. Change it back. Save schedule. Go back to Gmail. And it's locked. Okay. That's amazing. Look. And I have this tweet pulled up right here.

08:05 I was going to like live tweet this, but I didn't even have time to hit tweet. How's the Mac app coming? Need my replet login? Glad it's sticking. Check the Mac app. What if I had Grockbot go into my Replet account and finish all of the projects that I have like 90% finished. Spelled got her wrong. Whatever. All right, we're good. It's signed into Replet.

08:28 It's signed into GitHub for me. GitHub is a place where you can store code. Okay, it's pizza night, so I got to step away for a minute. I'll be right back. Hey, if you want to learn how to build stuff with AI, check out playmakersai.com. It's my own private community where we are becoming AI consultants. We are finding paying customers, paying hundreds or thousands or sometimes tens of thousands of dollars per month.

08:50 We've got hundreds of hours of content, 3 to eight live calls with experts every week, myself included, and it's all found at playmakersai.com. We'll see you there, guys. I did it. We did it together. We have a sellable product here. It's done. I want I want to show you something real quick. Okay. Right here. Okay. So, look what happens when I click this little lock icon up here on my Mac.

09:12 I think you can see that this pops up. And I added some more features off camera because I couldn't help myself. And now it does all kinds of other things. So, unlocks my mail. But then in addition, the Chrome extension right here. Okay. Look at this. It pulled in my most visited websites. That was one prompt. And I can block all of them. I can block none of them.

09:39 I can block all but one. So, hey, stop looking at YouTube Studio. Stop. And this this could be embarrassing, right? You can see everything I look at here. I There's no editing here. RV rental websites, whatever. I can block all of these, none of these. So, I can lock in and then I can even send my password to a spouse, a loved one, whatever. So, they have to be the one to unlock it for me.

09:59 So, I didn't tell it how to look, what colors to use, what the user interface should look like. It just built this for me. Freaking incredible. And it works and I'm using it. Now, I need to sell it. That's going to be on part two. So, stick around. And look, here are my prompts here. It wasn't that long. It didn't take that long. Can you have it list out all the most commonly used apps and websites on that computer and browse to make it easier for the user to block ones they struggle with?

10:23 Boom. Done. The icon doesn't work. Boom. Fixed. Cool. Everything works. So, I don't know if this is clear or not, but this is not a sponsored video for Crock-Pot. Nobody paid me to post this video. I just think this is transformative and you can profit from it. Please enjoy. Please share with a friend and we'll see you next time on the Kerner Office.
