Two SpaceX designers break down how they use Grok Bot AI agents to automate design work and build prototypes
TLDR
Two SpaceX AI designers share how they've built AI agent workflows to automate design tasks, from self-updating websites to voice-memo-driven prototyping.

Optimixed's original report on this story.
In an interview published by Lenny's Newsletter, designers John Bai and Peng Zheng demonstrate how they use Grok Bot to streamline their work: Peng built a self-updating personal website where Grok handles backend tasks like location lookup and 3D art generation from a single message, while John uses voice memos paired with Figma MCP to turn casual instructions into working design files without leaving the gym. Both emphasize that narrow, specialized AI agents outperform generalist chatbots, and that AI is lowering the barrier to skills like 3D rendering and motion design that previously required years of practice or hiring specialists.
