Track supplement experiments and calories with a bot agent
A user runs Grok Bot for personal experiments with supplements and calorie tracking, alongside Codex and OpenCode for coding. ·
- What they did
- The commenter uses Grok Bot as a personal agent for running supplement experiments and calorie tracking. For coding they use Codex and OpenCode as harnesses, and they use OpenRouter pay-as-you-go to try Chinese models like Deepseek and GLM. The source gives no detail on how the Grok Bot setup or workflow actually works.
- How it went
- The source gives no results or numbers for the supplement and calorie tracking. They tried Hermes several times and disliked it each time, and a first try of Rakazo went no better.
- Worth knowing
- Grok Bot came cheap: the commenter got three months at $30 when they tried to cancel the subscription.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Act as my personal tracker for [supplement or habit experiment, e.g. creatine and sleep] and my daily calories. Each day I will message you what I took and ate; log it in a running spreadsheet with date, items, and estimated calories. Every [Sunday] send me a short summary of trends and anything that looks correlated, and ask me before changing how you track anything.
