01

Know what makes a good Grok bot

Grok Bot is xAI’s app for AI teammates. Each bot gets a name, a job, and memory, and runs on a cloud computer that can sign in to your tools and keep working while your laptop is closed.

A good bot has:

  • One clear job
  • Only the tools it needs
  • A routine or trigger
  • A defined output and destination
  • An approval rule

A narrow bot you trust beats a general bot you have to babysit.

02

Check the basics before you build

  • Grok Bot comes with Premium, Super, and Ultra plans, existing SuperGrok plans, paid Cursor plans, and team plans
  • Usage draws on its own separate weekly allowance
  • Every bot you make shares one cloud computer, its files, and its browser sessions
  • Passwords and two-factor codes get typed by you, never in chat
  • Auto-review should be set to Ask first for sending, paying, posting, and deleting
03

Build communication bots

1 · Inbox Bot

  • Job: Email triage
  • What it does: Each morning, ranks unread email by priority, summarizes threads, and drafts replies in your tone.
  • Approval rule: Drafts only. Never sends.

2 · Meeting Bot

  • Job: Meeting preparation and follow-up
  • What it does: Writes a brief before each meeting, then drafts follow-ups and action items afterward.
  • Approval rule: Sends every follow-up to you for approval.
04

Build research bots

3 · Research Bot

  • Job: Research briefs
  • What it does: Researches companies, people’s public work, or topics, then writes one-page briefs with source links.
  • Approval rule: Flags anything it could not confirm.

4 · Competitor Bot

  • Job: Competitor tracking
  • What it does: Checks competitor sites and announcements on a schedule and logs any change in pricing, features, or messaging.
  • Approval rule: Messages you only about important changes.
05

Build sales bots

5 · Lead Bot

  • Job: Lead research
  • What it does: Finds companies that fit your ideal customer, notes one recent signal, and scores the fit with reasons.
  • Approval rule: Sticks to public business sources. Never contacts anyone.

6 · CRM Bot

  • Job: CRM hygiene
  • What it does: Logs calls and emails, updates deal stages and next steps, and flags deals that have stalled.
  • Approval rule: Asks first before changing deal values or deleting records.
06

Build a content bot

7 · Content Bot

  • Job: Content repurposing
  • What it does: Turns articles, transcripts, or notes into posts, threads, and newsletter sections written in your voice.
  • Approval rule: Saves drafts for review. Never publishes.
07

Build operations bots

8 · Invoice Bot

  • Job: Invoice processing
  • What it does: Gathers invoices from email, copies the details into a tracker, and flags duplicates or odd amounts.
  • Approval rule: Never pays suppliers or replies to them.

9 · Bug Bot

  • Job: Bug reproduction
  • What it does: Reproduces reported bugs, captures steps and screenshots, and files tickets in your tracker.
  • Approval rule: Never touches production systems.
08

Build a personal bot

10 · Admin Bot

  • Job: Personal admin
  • What it does: Tracks renewals and subscriptions, plans trips within budget, and fills in routine forms for you to review.
  • Approval rule: Never buys, books, or submits a form without your approval.
09

Build any bot on this list

  • Create the bot with a name and a job description
  • Share your preferences and limits in the first conversation
  • Connect only the tools the job needs
  • Run the workflow once while it watches, then save it as a skill
  • Schedule the skill as a routine
  • Review the first few runs closely
10

Combine bots into a team

Bots can share a group chat and pass work to one another. For example, the Research Bot spots a signal, the Lead Bot scores it, and the Content Bot drafts outreach for your approval.

Add a bot only when a real job calls for one. Every extra bot drains your weekly allowance faster.

11

Use the job description template

Name: [name]. Job: [one job]. Description: You help me with [work] for [business or life area]. Use only [tools]. Every time, [steps]. Save the result in [location] and send me a short summary. Never [forbidden actions]. Ask before sending, paying, posting, deleting, or sharing data. If anything is unclear, stop and ask.

The golden rule

Do not build ten bots at once. Build one, learn to trust it, then build the next.

  • Job
  • Tools
  • Routine
  • Output
  • Approval
  • Team

This week, start with the Inbox Bot or the Research Bot. Both save time from the first day with very little risk.
