AI expert Alexey Minakov tested xAI's new Grok Bot tool for team management and shared his impressions on the blog.

Hello, community. With you again Serhiy Nemchinsky. Briefly about me: 30 years in IT, of which 15 — as a team leader. I went from junior developer to owner and CEO of the IT professions training center FoxmindEd, and I also host my own YouTube channel about IT. In my reflections on how AI is impacting the development industry, I try to consider current trends and extrapolate them to the future. But today I will also have to look to the past.

To teach his 10-year-old daughter Lada not just to consume content, but also to create her own product solutions, Marketing Team Lead Oleksandr Sukhomlyn decided to launch a joint educational project. Together, they went through the entire process of developing a browser game — from coming up with a concept and choosing a domain to releasing, marketing, and deploying a full-fledged infrastructure. The main "architect" and "coder" was Claude Code, who generated about 36,000 lines of code in over 100 versions, while Lada guided the process using a voice AI tool specially developed for her by her father. As a result, the girl gained something much more valuable than programming skills — she learned to clearly formulate her thoughts, analyze results, and changed her position from a passive consumer to an author capable of influencing the digital world.
