I'll be interested to see what access it gives you to Meta products.
Grok Bot doesn't have direct access to Twitter like Grok on x.com does, for no good reason, but it does have an API plugin which gives you free $20 credit if you install it.
When these companies want to lock you into their platforms it seems kinda dumb to not give their own products access to their own products.
The walled garden is basically their entire moat. If you have access to that, you can do things like, "Every hour, write all updates in chronological order to a file $HERE", then you have an API feed. You integrate that into your own homespun app, then you never see their ads. They hate that.
All of Meta's products have to be user-hostile, because the first thing you want is interop and that kills their monetization.
