I'm going against Grok Bot

excited to announce Squad.so

it gives you AI teammates that connect to all your tools, understand your context, and take action to get your work done on schedule

a few weeks ago xAI shipped Grok Bot

surprisingly, that's the architecture @pbteja1998 has been building for a year with his brother @saidheeraj_96, as MissionControlHQ

and for the last 2 months we've been heads down making it better

and today, Squad is a much better and more mature product than Grok Bot

shipped months before, iterated on longer, used in production by real growing teams

(I know, bold statement. I'll show you why below)

so one of the biggest AI labs on the planet just became our biggest competitor

good!

the stakes went up 1000x for us overnight. nobody has to explain what an AI teammate is anymore. Elon did that for us

now it's a real fight

the good old story of David and Goliath

squad.so

read next to understand 👇

Squad runs on the AI plans you already have

add your own ChatGPT, Claude, SuperGrok or Gemini plan

stack as many as you like. when one hits its limit, the work continues on the next

(unlike Grok Bot, which only runs on ... Grok 😬)

Squad comes with a Chief of Staff built in

you don't manage your AI teammates, your Chief does

tell it what you need, it routes it to the right teammate. if the job needs someone new, it spins another teammate up

and it keeps you posted - you can ask it what's running, what's done, and what needs you

Squad works everywhere your work is - Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, and 70+ other platforms

with 50+ research and scrape tools built in

and you can bring all your favorite MCPs too

and each teammate only touches what you allow:

connection scopes - connect a tool once, then choose what level of access each teammate gets. support teammate gets the support inbox, assistant gets your calendar. some can read, some can write. you decide.

browser scopes - every teammate has its own browser and its own logins. no shared sessions

(unlike Grok Bot, where all bots share one login 😬)

and nothing goes out without your permission

every action leaves a receipt, you can check it whenever you want

let me show you 2 workflows I run through Squad, and the HUGE savings that come with them

1. support routing and management - Squad checks new Revid tickets on a schedule - routine questions get an approved reply - technical ones become investigation tasks with evidence and a clear owner - if it smells a bug, it traces the code and preps a fix for review

that's the job of a support hire, about $1.5k/month

2. Stripe disputes management

when someone files a chargeback, Squad pulls their usage history and submits it as evidence. automatically, every time

if there's no proof of usage, it accepts the dispute, refunds the user, and saves us the dispute fee

we've gone from winning basically 0% of disputes to 60%. that's $5000+ that used to just be gone

while saving 10 hours/week of our time

here's what your workday looks like with Squad

why I'm doing this

I run a $1M+/month business, and Squad is now the operating layer that makes it possible with a tiny team of humans

I've been a paying user of MissionControlHQ since May 2026. the reason I never churned is boring, and it's the whole point:

I don't prompt it to get my work done

I set up the jobs, they run automatically, I get the output, and most days I don't open it

but every other product I used in this category needed me at the keyboard all the time

my team and I gave Bhanu feedback for months, and at some point the honest move is to stop being a user with opinions and start being accountable for them

Bhanu and Dheeraj bootstrapped SiteGPT before this. they ship faster than anyone I know

so I'm partnering up with them on distribution and product

we're also renaming it to Squad.so

MissionControlHQ described the dashboard. Squad describes the thing a user actually wants - AI teammates that do your work

and as always would love your support and feedback to make this product successful and better everyday 🙏
