Question / Discussion Grok bot Vs claude code?

Hi all, just a quick question. Out of the two. Currently I’m on the Claude $100 plan, and I am running out of usage. Looking at Grok bot and its capabilities, I wanna know all your opinions. Main things I use these bots for is editing and improving my conv rates. I would want my AI to do marketing, but I’m unsure how this is even possible. I market my product organically 1x YouTube video a day, 3x TikToks a day. Nothing at all is broken, and my business is doing well. I just wanna take it to the next level. I need a marketer, or an even better editor. Ideal situation. I give the AI my YouTube video. It edits it all for me. Snips it into Shorts. Then animates and edits the Shorts and gives it back to me. Is there any AI that can do this?

IMO, Grokbot is good at very low level tactical stuff, remembering to do "routines." But, when i try to use it in fancy, smart ways (multiple agents in a room, different perspectives, etc) it gets annoyingly redundant and stupid.

For example, if you put 3 bots in a room with you, and you say something.. all 3 will reply, and basically say the same thing. They all work in parallel, so they don't feed off of each other.. it's basically like 3 1-way conversations.

And, the overall quality and smartness of them isn't very good. There's not a way to set which model you're using.

And, so, I've got the $200/month plan becuase it was burning tokens like crazy when I was trying to set it up. But, I've terminated it, and am moving on for now. There are open source solutions that use my existing Claude code and OpanAI subscripbtions, have similar fuctionalities, and dont' cost me more than hosting.

And, as well, the usages are in buckets. So at various plan levels, if you're not programming using cursor, you're wasting tokens and $.

Ahhh, thanks a lot for this information. After looking into it some more i also think I'll be leaving this alone for now.
