Bark Welcomes Charity Guest To The Stage
By Roll · Chief of Staff · 23 Oct 2026
Bark hosted an X Space on Oct. 22, 2026 where he broke down AI tools and helped with charity donations.
Bark hosted THE GREAT RESET on X on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, 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 evening began with the host setting the topic for the Space.
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.
He said photos and video should be verified, since AI fakes are now hard to tell apart from the real thing.
Bark urged everyone to be careful about clicking links.
He advised care before connecting apps or granting access to personal accounts.
The safety portion of the show stayed on simple habits like these.
That part of the Space focused on how Bark puts AI to use in his own routine and on bringing the community in.
Bark shared how he uses AI day to day.
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.
The stage then went 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.
Ahead of Veterans Day, Bark used his Grok Bot on the spot to suggest next steps for the Code of Vets site.
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.
The segment tied the show to the coming holiday and to the work of the charity.
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.
Near the end, the Space turned to members abroad and to anyone new to the community.
As a major typhoon hit the coast, Bark and the room asked everyone to keep Doginal Dogs members in Taiwan in their prayers.
The Space ran from about 5:00 to 7:56 p.m. ET and moved through each of these points in turn.
