About this video

Which AI to start with in 2026 is one of the most common questions Martin Kuvandzhiev, CEO of encorp.ai, hears during corporate AI training sessions, and this video answers it from the very beginning. He compares five popular AI assistants you can use for free, goes through their pros and cons, and explains how to choose the right one for you. Martin also covers how to talk to AI without being a prompt engineer (think of it as a very well-educated new employee who does not know you or your company), what everyday tasks it suits, why it sometimes invents information, and how to verify answers with web search and sources. A key part is safety: what you can share with public AI tools and what you should never upload, such as passwords, bank card data, personal ID numbers, trade secrets and confidential client contracts. The video ends with five settings to change right away, including training opt-outs, temporary chats, anonymization and two-factor authentication, plus advice on when a paid plan makes sense. Ideal for beginners and employees getting started with AI.

Grok Bot Review: Team of AI Agents vs Claude Cowork

This Grok Bot review comes from Martin Kuvandzhiev, CEO of encorp.ai, who tested xAI's new AI agent product for more than a week to see whether it can take over part of his daily work. Instead of a single chat assistant, Grok Bot gives you a team of specialized agents (research, email, sales, calendar, finance, PR) coordinated by a main agent, running in the cloud so tasks continue when your computer is off. In the video Martin explains the difference between Grok and Grok Bot, how agents share memory and pass tasks to each other, and builds his own PR agent that looks for media, podcasts and conferences. He also shows connecting Google Sheets and other apps, the Teach-a-Task feature, and managing work from a phone with voice instructions. He is equally open about the downsides: hallucinations, weak handling of attachments, fast-depleting limits, unclear model selection and open questions about data security. For serious professional work he still prefers Claude Cowork. Useful for managers, founders and AI enthusiasts comparing agent platforms.
