What they did
Wired Grok Bot as the remote front door to Claude Code on a Mac: send the task by text from a phone, hand it to a Claude Code session on the laptop, and get a ping with results when the job completes—so they no longer sit at the machine babysitting a terminal.
How it went
Described as their favorite Grok Bot setup; the workflow replaces in-person terminal babysitting with phone-driven kickoff and async result pings. The source post drew strong engagement (~29k impressions, hundreds of likes) as social proof of interest, not as a measured productivity metric.
Worth knowing
Still needs a Mac (or equivalent) with Claude Code sessions available; Grok Bot is the orchestration and notification layer, not a substitute for the coding agent itself. No hard time-saved numbers in the source—only the qualitative claim of skipping babysitting.
