Welcome to the first episode of The Mike and Chip Show! My sidekick Chip is an actual always-on Grok Bot, and in this episode we test-drive Granola, the AI notepad for meetings, open and live. In this episode: - How Granola transcribes your meetings without a bot joining the call - How it tells speakers apart (and where it can't) - Chip pulling transcripts, summarizing, and building a handout PDF while we talk - What it's really like to work live with an always-on agent Watch the Full Episode on YouTube: Chapters: 00:00 Welcome & Meet Chip 02:31 Today's Focus: Granola 08:47 Grok Bot Overview 10:30 Connecting Granola to Grok Bot 17:09 Quotable Moments 18:02 Summary & Takeaways 19:16 Saving to Google Drive 19:45 My Second Brain 22:00 Always-On Agents vs. Chat 22:53 What We Did Today 23:58 Wrap-Up & AI Thought of the Day Download the free Granola handout Chip built during the show: Try Granola and get 2 months of Granola Business free (sign up with a work email): https://join.granola.ai/t/wkenpvyfcm Who is Chip? Chip is my Grok Bot co-host, an always-on AI agent I work with every day. Everything you see happens live, in real time. Nothing is pre-scripted, rehearsed, or edited to make Chip look good. I ask, Chip works, and you see exactly what happens, wins, hiccups and all. Off camera, Chip is a powerhouse and edits my videos, pulls meeting transcripts, files notes and builds handouts, works with technology slated for the show and much, much more. On the show, you watch it happen as it happens.

I record in Descript (similar recording tools include Riverside, Camtasia, and Loom). Chip, my Grok Bot AI video editor, handles the editing and cleanup. For beginner and novice editors, 1–2 hours of manual editing per minute of finished video can be a useful planning estimate, depending on the complexity. And that assumes you already know the tool’s features. For this video, working with Chip took about 30 minutes total, including giving instructions in plain English and waiting for the edits to process. During processing, I could do other things. I could even request changes from my phone. That’s why this caught my attention. In this Short, you’ll hear a real, unscripted conversation between my Grok Bot and me. I asked Chip, which recording software I use. It explained that I record in Descript and that it pulls the project straight from there—no files for me to download. The basic workflow: 1. Connect your Descript account to Grok Bot. 2. Record your video in Descript. 3. Ask Grok Bot to make the edits. 💬 Give it instructions in plain English, like: - “Remove the pauses and false starts.” - “Cut the section where I repeat myself.” - “Remove the sentence that starts with…” - “Shorten the introduction so we get to the main point faster.” For this video, Chip removed the pauses and false starts: 🎥 Original recording: 2:57 ✂️ Final cut: 1:41 I gave the direction. Chip made the cuts. I reviewed the result. ▶️ Watch my YouTube conversation with Chip 💬 What part of creating videos would you like to hand off to AI?

I created my first full length YouTube video using Grok Bot! This whole video was edited by talking to Grok Bot using natural language. No editing on my part. I recorded a talking-head video. Asked Grok Bot to download it (not me). It handled the rest using my always-on agent set up for this task, Chip. You'll meet Chip live in the video. The 4 steps: 1. Connect your apps. 2. Record on Descript. 3. Hand it off to Grok Bot. 4. Polish and post to YouTube. It was amazing to watch Chip pull my recording straight from Descript without me making manual edits or downloading anything. For the first time, I was able to make small changes by telling it what to adjust, fix, and delete. Then Grok Bot created the thumbnail and uploaded it to YouTube as private so you can review it before going public. ▶️ Watch it here: youtu.be What would you hand off to your Grok Bot first?
