How to Use Grok Bot: A Beginner's Guide

Grok Bot is a place to hand off work to AI agents, called Bots. Each Bot has its own cloud computer, so it can browse, use your connected apps, and keep working when your laptop is closed. It asks for approval before actions it can’t undo, such as sending, posting, buying, or deleting.

Key ideas

• Bots: agents with a name, a job, and memory of how you work.
• Connect apps: plugins for email, calendar, Slack, Notion, GitHub, and more.
• Routines: work that runs on a schedule, from a webhook, or when an email arrives.
• Approval cards: the Bot shows you what it wants to do and waits for your OK.
• Bots working together: Bots can hand work to other Bots, which makes an AI team possible.

Five first tasks to try

1. Research: “Prep me for my meeting with [company] on Thursday. Public sources only.”
2. A document: “Turn these notes into a one-page recap.”
3. A routine: “Every weekday at 7 AM, give me a morning brief.”
4. Its own email: “Get yourself an email address.” See the email guide.
5. A second Bot: “Create a Travel Bot that researches restaurants and routes for my trips.”

Tips from daily use

• Give each Bot one clear job. Narrow Bots are easier to trust.
• Connect only the apps a Bot needs (least privilege).
• Read approval cards. They quote exactly what the Bot will do.
