Building nine Grok Bot 3D mascots with Claude in 95 minutes
The author had Claude write code for nine Grok Bot mascots, ending up with an 87 KB image-free HTML file rendered into a 32-second video.
Anthropic launched Claude Duet, I used Claude to build every Grok Bot mascot in 3D. Claude built nine Grok Bot mascots in 95 minutes, I described what I wanted and Claude wrote the code Grok Bot lets you pick from eight shapes and ten colors, the nine bots cover all eight shapes, and the ball appears twice, once in black like the logo the result is one 87 KB HTML file with no images and no 3D engine, each shape is a formula: a ball is a radius, a drop is two spheres blended together the first version was wrong, Claude had built a little orange character with a hat, and I told it that this wasn't the Grok Bot mascot, It went to the Grok Bot site, found the real one, a glossy ball with two slanted eyes, and rebuilt the whole scene, that was the only correction I made the scene has real shadows and reflections, and all nine bots follow the same orange orb with their eyes, I rendered it as 960 frames at 2160x2700 and scaled it down to a 32-second video Claude drew the bots and Grok Bot is the subject. If you try this, start with one ball and two eyes, then swap the shape formula for the rest
