Six Grok Bots ran a game studio's ads and cut installs from $15 to $1
In SpaceXAI's own guide, Ryan Perry's bots spotted that people played Rank'em as couples, swapped the party ad for a partner ad, and lifted D7 retention about 4x with a hint feature.

Result D7 retention up about 4x
“Swapped the party ad for the partner-cut ad after data showed people were playing as couples rather than large groups, taking installs from $15 to $1.”
Spotted: found in the wild. Details are as reported by the source above and have not been independently verified.
What they did
They wrote six job descriptions and gave one to each bot: an orchestrator that owns the app stores, an analytics bot that alone can declare findings, a creatives bot, an engineer, a deploy bot and a bug-fix bot that sweeps Sentry overnight. The analytics bot recaps spend and installs every night and reads the game’s funnel every morning. When the Meta Ads API was blocked by verification issues, they recorded themselves uploading one creative and the bot learned the click-path.
How it went
The bots saw that people played Rank’em as couples rather than large groups, swapped the party ad for a partner ad, and took installs from $15 to $1. They also shipped a hint feature after showing that higher scores go with better retention, improving D7 retention by about 4x, and the game passed 1000 downloads in a week. These figures come from SpaceXAI’s own guide.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
You are the analytics and user acquisition seat for [game]. You're signed into [ad and analytics tools]. Every night, recap spend, installs and cost per install by campaign, and name winners and losers. Every morning, read [the key funnel] and flag where the ads and the game describe different experiences. Send winners and losers to [creative bot] and product findings to [engineer bot] as specs. Ask me before anything that spends money.

A home service business connected Grok Bot to its phone system after a few hours of setup. It now listens to every call and posts a summary to the team's Slack channel.
Junk email, Amazon return deadlines, open-source pull requests and a trip to book. Grok Bot runs that life admin: 1,000+ emails trashed, 7 return deadlines tracked, 17 PRs merged, flights, hotel and car booked.
A Coca-Cola price check across Belgian supermarkets, with no shops or sizes named. Grok Bot went to each store's own site, flagged a Carrefour block, and after one human click found the best price per liter there.
A Linux box mattered but wasn't their day job, and fixing it when it broke was anxiety-inducing. They gave Grok Bot root SSH access and their old setup notes, and now run nginx restarts and firewall rules from a phone app.
SpaceXAI designer John Bai built one auto-layout component, and a design bot filled the other cards from the real file. Other bots built three prototypes to learn from. From SpaceXAI's own guide.
Twenty agents at once was overwhelming, so SpaceXAI's Blake Schuller set up one bot, Gus, over the rest: call prep cards, unkept promises, unanswered asks. From SpaceXAI's own guide.
