20 Grok Bot tips from the official usage guide
Notes from SpaceXAI's official guide on using Grok Bot cover connectors, recorded skills, scheduled routines, approvals and permission rules.
20 GROKBOT TIPS from SpaceXAI team SpaceXAI team just released an official guide on “How to Use Grok Bot at 101% of Its power” Here are my top 20 notes from this guide: 1. a Grok Bot is an agent with its own cloud computer: browser, files, terminal. it keeps working with your laptop closed. 2. set up with 3 fields: name, title, description. describe the workflow exactly how you'd do it yourself. 3. connectors first (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion). computer use only for tools without one. 4. walk a bot through a flow once (up to 10 min recording) and it saves it as a skill. 5. recorded skills are drafts. add decision rules and failure handling before you trust them. 6. a good skill says: when to use it, inputs, steps, how to validate, what to return, what needs approval. 7. type / in the composer to call any saved skill. 8. every task needs 4 things: what to do, where, context, and a clear "done". 9. up to 50 routines per bot. set the owner bot, schedule + timezone, and what to do if data is missing. 10. test runs do real work. they click sites, change files, call tools. test on safe examples. 11. event triggers need narrow rules. "every new Slack message" = noise + burned usage. 12. automate the prep, approve the action: sending, buying, deleting, publishing, prod changes. 13. write permission rules in plain language (Settings > General > Agent). 14. add a review agent with allow/block lists to approve, block or escalate actions. 15. one login = shared by all bots. only sign in where you trust every bot. 16. outer/inner loop: one bot gathers context, specialists execute. keeps context clean. 17. multiple teams: one project = one channel, max 5 bots + a PM bot. reuse bots before creating new ones. 18. give the PM bot a task board with a "Blocked" column. stuck bots flag it and ping you. 19. templates share instructions, memories, skills and plugins. review them like third-party software before "Add Bot". 20. for critical decisions, make bots re-check live sources, not memory. and re-test routines after sites change. Save this tips list. Then read how to build a team of GrokBot agents from scratch in the article below.
