On Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, Bark hosted THE GREAT RESET on X, about 5:00 to 7:56 p.m. ET, and the Space covered how AI agents differ from chatbots, safety tips on links, app access and AI fakes, Bark’s Grok Bot, and crypto-donation help for a veterans charity founder ahead of Veterans Day.
The host set the topic for the Space at the start of the evening.
On his X Space on Oct. 22, 2026, Bark hosted an AI-focused edition of THE GREAT RESET and explained in plain language how autonomous AI agents differ from ordinary chatbots.
Bark urged everyone to be careful about clicking links.
He advised care before connecting apps or granting access to personal accounts.
He said photos and video should be verified, since AI fakes are now hard to tell apart from the real thing.
Those points made up the safety portion of the show, which stayed on simple habits.
The Space then turned to Bark’s own routine with AI and to bringing the community in.
His Grok Bot researches Doginal Dogs news every morning on its own, with no prompt.
Bark invited the community to set up their own Grok Bots so the Doginal Dogs mothership can connect with them.
Bark shared how he uses AI day to day.
The charity segment gave the stage to a community member with a long record of service.
The community opened the stage to Gretchen, founder of the veterans charity Code of Vets, who started it in 2018 to honor her father, a Vietnam combat veteran.
The charity has helped thousands of veterans, according to Gretchen, who said a veteran once told her one of her posts saved his life.
Live in the Space, community member MJ, who runs the Do Only Good Every Day Foundation, mentored Gretchen on accepting crypto donations.
Ahead of Veterans Day, Bark used his Grok Bot on the spot to suggest next steps for the Code of Vets site.
Veterans Day and the work of the charity framed this part of the show.
As a major typhoon hit the coast, Bark and the room asked everyone to keep Doginal Dogs members in Taiwan in their prayers.
The final stretch of the Space turned to members abroad and to anyone new to the community.
MJ, speaking to people just starting out, said she learned crypto from scratch by showing up to X Spaces.
She added that there is always a room to learn in or a friend to talk to.
Each of these points came up in turn during the Space, which ran from about 5:00 to 7:56 p.m. ET.
