About this episode
On this episode, I test Grok 4's capabilities across multiple use cases to determine if it outperforms competitors like OpenAI and Perplexity. I evaluate 9 different agent types by running specific prompts and analyzing the results. Grok 4 demonstrates particular strength in tasks leveraging X data, with standout performance in market research, customer feedback analysis, and negotiation assistance, while showing limitations in areas like visual design.
