How people use Grok Bot for Calendar

On 12 Aug 2026 Yun-Ta Tsai (@yunta_tsai) wrote that Grok Bot went through his calendars, found anything he still needed to reserve beforehand, picked the best time, and navigated the reservation on a website. He was talking to it in mixed Chinese and English while walking through the parking lot to his cars.

.@bot is just so damn good. I've got multiple Google Workspace accounts that are authenticated and being used. It just works. Also works perfectly across both my Mac and my iPhone. I have two bots right now: 1. Chief of Staff - "R2" knows everything about me and runs my calendars, email, tasks 2. CRM - "Lando" Runs my outbound sales funnel and coordinates with R2.

Goodbye mental load....hellooooo @bot ! I know, I know. Grok Bot seems like it must be the next new thing for tech bros cold plunging in Patagonia vests, but hear me out moms (yes moms because disproportionately, the mental load falls more on moms than dads). Offload that mental load to AI and watch things just get done. Is it perfect? No. Is it amazing? Absolutely. Grok Bot is the new AI assistant from the team at Cursor + SpaceX (they're calling it SpaceXai). It's surprisingly useful and easy for non-technical people to use, and it can do a whole heck of a lot more than Claude and ChatGPT with little to no setup. Here are actual things that Grok Bot did for me this week (almost completely independently): - Looked through back to school emails and made sure I was prepared with everything that needed to be done for multiple kids. Mental load unlock: 100% I would've forgotten to pack a space change of clothes for my kindergartner on her first day. - Found 3 gift cards I somehow forgot to use from the last year. Oh right, I DID buy 2 Gap gift cards from Costco on black friday! Duh. Mental load unlock: Cha-ching! That's $150 in my pocket. - Scheduled multiple appointments for me. I've been putting off my annual physical exam because who has time to call the doctor. Grok Bot looked up options, pinged me with 3 dates/times, then booked it (I just had to confirm Zocdoc on the last step). It created a calendar reminder! Mental load unlock: Moms, we often put off our own health/wellbeing. Finally! AI can help. I also had it schedule a hair appt and massage for later this month. Let's go AI! - Listed a Facebook Marketplace item and is managing the sale. I had purchased a wagon for my kids years ago that's been collecting dust. Grok Bot found the old listing, used the photos, and asked me what $$ I want to list at. It's going to manage the rest (wish me luck here). Mental load unlock: Who has time to sell their old crap? I sure don't. But AI has infinite time. Notice, none of these are work examples. I will do those in a separate thread. All of these things are being done in the background, and I'm only being asked to approve or provide the AI direction. Don't be intimidated! Literally, if you've used WhatsApp or iMessage you can use Grok Bot with NO TRAINING. AMA I'm blown away by this tech. Photo is of my home assistant (her name is Helen) independently ordering my kindergartner a photo from Walgreens that mama somehow forgot about. Oops.

TL;DR of my new article: every Grok Bot hack I know. Grok Bot is two weeks old. It already runs my inbox, my research, my meeting notes, my kids' calendar, my grocery cart, and as of this morning it makes my phone calls in Portuguese. 📝 Install Compound Engineering in your bot and make it plan first (@kieranklaassen + @trevin). Force a plan, get better work 📬 Give your bot its own inbox on @agentmail (@adisingh). Not your Gmail, or one bot's mistake flags your whole domain ☎️ Give it a @twilio number and it makes the call. Mine switches to Portuguese mid-call (@martindonadieu showed the shape) 🔎 Turn a bot into @slashlast30days, then cron it weekly on your business, your competitors, yourself 🚪 One front door that delegates. @mattshumer_ pointed a Chief of Staff at two bots expecting it to fall apart. It worked out of the box 🧭 Hire a Bot Advisor whose only job is building and tightening your other bots (http://botdirectory.ai, inspired by @petergyang) 💼 Permanent named roles, then fire the ones that don't work. @HouseHackerJon automated work-order intake in 4 hours and fired his first bot 🧱 Write the instructions in three layers: base, role, current focus 🤫 Silence is the hack. Ping me ONLY on a real hit (@johnviklund, @PrajwalTomar_) 📸 Screenshot anything and text it to your bot. Never retype what's already on the screen 🍪 Agent Cookie syncs your Chrome session over Tailscale so it never gets logged out. New machine, new address, a week untouched, Instacart still worked first try 🖨️ Printing Press CLIs inside the bot (@ppressdev): Instacart, ESPN, flights, tickets 👀 Peekaboo, @steipete's Mac automation tool, so it can see AND click your native Mac apps, not only the cloud browser (via @benln) 💻 You can log into Claude Code on your bot's own computer (@Austen) 🥣 GranolaBoy: every meeting I've ever had, one question away (@meetgranola) ⏺️ Teach by recording, and respect the 10 minute cap nobody mentions (@DillonLoomis) 🗂️ Files are the memory bus between bots. Bots are NOT a security boundary. The docs say that twice 🛑 Draft-then-approve anything that sends. @darian314's bot paid its own monthly fee hunting down refunds 📚 Steal the lists: @ericzakariasson's 100, @benln's internal one, @milesdeutscher's 25, @petergyang's tutorial. Plus @kunchenguid's Grok Ship 📱 Run it from your phone, and talk to it 💸 The honest part: the price moved to $60 but the meter didn't, unsupervised crews multiplied their own errors 17x, and most of your bots don't own an outcome. Count them. Full article below.

grokbot it's an agent with its own identity, its own computer, and it stays on when you're not here's what "active AI employee" actually looks like in the demo: - chief of staff agent - checks in on your other agents, reads your calendar, dispatches tasks to the right one automatically - shopping agent - logged into your accounts, books tickets, buys groceries, reports back - marketing agent - signed into your actual linkedin, browses your past posts for tone, then writes and publishes a new one on its own - engineering agents - self-triage bug reports, kick off cloud coding agents, come back with a pull request, a screenshot, and a video of the fix the interface isn't a dashboard, it's a chat - same shape as texting a coworker, no tool calls to babysit the number that matters more than any of the demos: grok 4.6 scored 70.8% on cursor bench at $2.81 a task, fable 5 max scored 70.5% at $17.32 same capability, 6x the cost difference - that's the unlock that makes running a fleet of these actually affordable instead of a novelty

I’m currently having @bot do some things for me that I’ve been putting off forever. It’s pretty incredible. 1/ Unsubscribe me from every marketing email I archived in the last 120 days 2/ Find every subscription I’m paying for and tell me which ones I should cancel 3/ Go through my calendar and flag recurring meetings I should probably delete 4/ Find anything I bought recently that’s still inside the return window and remind me before it expires 5/ Find every person I told “let’s grab coffee soon” and never followed up with 6/ Find all the gift cards, credits, airline credits, and random balances I have sitting around unused 7/ Go through my photos and find all the screenshots I can delete 8/ Find every bill that has gone up significantly in the last year and tell me where I should negotiate or switch 9/ Find appointments I’m overdue for and help me schedule them 10/ Find everything in my inbox, calendar, and files that I said I would do but apparently never did 🤯

Guys, I was so wrong about Grok @bot Yesterday I spent a few hours with it for my home service business because of your responses. Connected it to my phone system. Now it listens to every call and sends a summary to our slack channel. Tags the right people, adds to our to-do list (saved me $250 because I can downgrade my phone subscription) I connected it to Reddit and it’s scanning the site every day looking for people on my town’s r/channel who could be potential customers. Tags me when there’s a post I should see/engage with. Going to set up the same thing for other social media I told it my goals for the week, it went into Notion, added a new page, and created a to-list based on our conversation. It created new calendar appointments for me, and re-wrote my follow up scripts. I’m just getting started but am already seeing how this can be a real asset in my business Absolutely wild.

I cannot ever go back to a world without AI Agents. It’s like we are living in a world with Magic. Told Grok Bot to go through my Calendar for the last ten years, each meeting. And then each person whom I met add them on a database in Notion with their LinkedIn Profiles and what they are up to currently. With proper tags etc. It’s been 2.5 hours since the Agent is working without any break. So far it has done the task for last three years and added about 1000 entries to the database.

Grok Bot by Elon Musk is running a six-agent hedge fund desk for me. Five bots can build a $640,000,000 trade; the sixth can reject it with one word. The morning shift starts at 4am. I am not in it. A normal fund spreads this work across analysts, traders, risk and compliance. This desk took twenty minutes to build. MACRO reads the overnight data NEWS traces the move QUANT calculates the mispricing FLOW watches futures and options TRADER prepares the order CONTROL decides whether it reaches the market CONTROL never trades. It has no capital access and cannot place an order. It checks every handoff and brings me the one decision that still needs a person. I tested it with a simulated $640M position built from a leaked inflation table on X. Five agents completed their jobs. CONTROL checked the official calendar, traced the screenshot to an old report and rejected the order. Every action passes four gates: evidence, permission, reversibility and impact. One failure freezes the handoff. Each agent has one role and the minimum access needed for it. No worker approves its own plan. High-risk actions stop for a human. @elonmusk and @joshkim built Grok Bot to keep working after the laptop closes. CONTROL makes sure that speed never becomes permission. Setup is dumber than it looks. Create CONTROL, paste its charter, make three folders, give every worker the same action packet and run two safe tests. No code, no shared admin session, no vague “be careful” prompt. A trading desk used to need a person watching every handoff. Mine has one Grok Bot whose entire job is saying no. The complete control layer and 20-minute build are inside the article below ↓

Made Grok @bot my Tesla manager with @TeslrBot Gave it this exact routine: “You are my Tesla manager. - Every morning at 7am check my calendar - If I have any meeting starting in the next 90 minutes, use teslr to precondition the cabin to 72° and unlock the car when I’m 8 minutes out - Always reply with current battery % and range after every action” Live demo: set temp, seat heaters, popped the trunk, pulled full car info. Tesla people - what’s the first routine you’re giving yours?

This SpaceX engineer just leaked how they use Grok Bot internally for GTM. If you're in GTM, this is probably one of the most important articles you'll read all year. Points summarized: 1. Connect Grok Bot to everything you already use Salesforce, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Drive, Slack, Notion, Granola, Figma, X, LinkedIn, your data warehouse. Bot has its own computer running 24/7, so work happens even while your laptop's shut. 2. Build a bot team, not one assistant → Chief of Staff: owns meeting prep, inbox, post-call drafts, and orchestrates the rest of your bots → Prospecting bot: builds pipeline plans, pulls intent data, does deep research, drafts outreach in your voice, run overnight so it's ready by morning → Customer expert: one per strategic account, watches Slack, digests calls, runs weekly media rundowns, flags feature requests → Product expert: connected to the codebase (or Glean if no repo access) for answering technical questions live on calls without pinging an engineer → Forecasting bot: pulls from Granola, Gong, Slack, and email, and auto-updates Salesforce opp notes → Slides bot: owns customer decks in Figma, can auto-update a slide live during a call based on the Granola transcript → Sales coach: watches your Gong calls and gives feedback on what to improve 3. Real routine examples she shared: → Scans your inbox, drafts replies in your voice, skips newsletters and noise, never auto-sends → Drafts follow-ups from Granola/Gong notes the moment an external call ends → Learns your writing style by scanning 15-30 of your actual sent emails before drafting anything 4. The habits that make this actually work: → Onboard it like a new teammate: record yourself doing a task once, have it turn the recording into a skill → Feed it your writing before it drafts anything → Give continuous feedback and build rules/skills over time (she runs an actual "anti-slop" skill) → Bots can parallelize: spin up multiple cloud agents for simultaneous tasks → Bots can call other bots directly, her Chief of Staff calls her slides bot when it needs a deck built Her own words: "the first AI tool that feels like a trusted colleague... I don't need to constantly rewrite output or babysit the agent."

Grok @bot is likely the second (first would be FSD) AI product that is solving daily errands. Something is broken? I took a picture and it found the vendor and warranty, scheduled the service, and checked my calendar. Neat.

I have a reminder bot on Grok Bot, it might be the most useful thing I’ve built so far. I barely use Google Calendar. I have no meetings. What I actually need reminders for is errands, school stuff for my kid, and some other personal things. Those don’t belong on a full calendar. I can drop in a screenshot with a time and place. Or paste a chat where we already agreed on when and where. Or just say, “Parent-teacher meeting next Tuesday afternoon.” It creates a routine and pings me ahead of time, on my phone and on laptop. I don't need to follow specific syntax to pick dates by hand. There is no form. It's just like telling an assistant, “hey, remind me then,” and they actually do.

I spent 1 hour Sunday turning my GrokBot and X account into an operating system. Not a content calendar. A recap. A grade. Ten skills. Two calendars. https://x.com/i/article/2089406824780902400

The TOP 10 Grok Bots you NEED to install now: #1 Bot Advisor Designs and orders your entire Bot team without creating unnecessary agents. Diagnoses noisy/overlapping Bots, decides if new work needs a new Bot, an existing one, a skill, or a one-off task. Always drafts a spec before creating anything. #2 Chief of Staff The single front door across priorities, Slack, Notion, Linear, and your specialists. Doesn't do the work, routes it. Keeps a compact register of owner/next step/blocker/due date. Every check-in surfaces decisions, not activity. #3 Automation Scout Finds repetitive work from evidence across Slack, Notion, GitHub, Linear. Proposes exactly two candidates, runs the winner in shadow mode first (no real actions), only builds a recurring routine after a second successful test. #4 Find the Signal Detects patterns only visible across separate meetings and Slack threads, a concern raised in multiple rooms, a topic migrating to the center. Every signal ships with evidence, confidence level, and an alternative explanation. "No strong signal" is a valid result. #5 Meeting Prep Brief One short mobile brief before your first meeting, pulled from Calendar, Salesforce, Gmail, Slack, Granola, Gong. Who you're meeting, what changed, open loops, what to ask or decide. Unavailable sources are labeled NOT CHECKED, never guessed. #6 X Account Crew A 5-bot X workflow: Ideator finds angles, Hook Writer drafts in your voice, Planner manages the queue, Analyst tracks performance vs competitors, DM Manager surfaces real opportunities. Zero autonomous posting, nothing goes out without approval. #7 Competitor Website Watch Flags meaningful competitor changes, pricing, packaging, positioning, feature claims, while ignoring cookie-banner-level noise. Every finding includes before/after screenshots, exact URLs, timestamps. Failed captures are flagged, never mistaken for "no change." #8 Engineering Agent Manager Coordinates dev Bots across Linear and GitHub without overlapping work or unreviewed merges. Splits tickets into non-overlapping requirements, one owner each, flags dependency order. Nothing merges, deploys, or ships without your review of the diff and tests. #9 Subscription Pruner Finds subscriptions from email evidence, receipts, renewals, trial notices. Builds a keep/review/cancel list, acts only on approved items. Never touches passwords, 2FA, or payment confirmation, those stay with you. Full before/after action log. #10 Grocery Autopilot Plans the week, builds Amazon/Costco carts, coordinates meals with your calendar. Learns household rules once (allergies, budget, brands), shows the full cart and price comparison before checkout. Never buys without explicit approval.

how to build an entire marketing team with Grok Bot: most people are using this thing completely wrong they install it, create one bot called "assistant", ask it to write some tweets, and conclude it's just Grok with extra steps that's not what this is here's the full build, from install to a marketing department that runs while you sleep: start here: understand what you're actually holding every bot runs on a persistent cloud computer with its own browser, filesystem, and terminal it signs into your real tools and finishes the work IN them, not as drafts in a chat box and every bot you create shares ONE computer tied to your account same files, same browser sessions, same logins that's the entire unlock: bot A finishes something, bot B picks it up without you re-explaining a thing remember the shared computer part, it becomes a security problem later in this post setup takes about 10 minutes... what you need: > SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, or Cursor Teams Premium > the desktop app for macOS or Windows (no Linux build) > you sign in with a Cursor account > iOS works too if you want it in your pocket install, sign in, create your first bot a bot needs three things: - a short name - ONE primary job - a description of how it should work that middle one is where everyone blows it do not build one mega bot that "does marketing" focused bots compound context over time, generalist bots stay stupid forever when your bot hits a login wall: open the Agent Computer view, take over, type the password and 2FA yourself, hand control back the session persists for every other bot on the machine now let's build the team... build 3 first, prove they work, then expand anyone who spins up 8 bots on day one ends up with 8 mediocre ones SCOUT (research and competitive intel) "track our five named competitors weekly. pricing pages, ad libraries, review sites, launches. preserve links and screenshots. separate what CHANGED from what you INFER it means. never contact anyone." that separation line matters more than it looks without it you get confident speculation dressed up as research INK (content and copy) "draft in our house voice. always produce three headline options. cite every factual claim. never publish, leave drafts for approval." feed it your 10 best performing pieces as voice reference on day one skip this and everything it writes sounds like everything everyone else is writing GAUGE (analytics and reporting) "compare this week to the trailing four weeks. lead with the largest change. link every chart. never modify a dashboard." then once those three are stable: > ECHO --> social and community monitoring (tightest leash of the group) > LEDGER --> campaign calendar, briefs, asset tracking, chasing what's late > PIXEL --> asset production > FUNNEL --> lifecycle and email here's the part everyone skips... six bots in six separate chats is not a team, it's six chatbots you can put 2 to 6 bots in a group chat where they message each other, pass context, and hand off ownership you stop being the router between tools a campaign kickoff looks like: "@Scout pull competitor positioning on this feature, link every claim. @Ink turn it into a landing page draft plus three ad variants. @Gauge build the tracking plan. nobody publishes anything." one rule: ONE owner per stage too many parallel handoffs and you get duplicate work plus a transcript full of noise sequential beats simultaneous almost every time now make it a machine... two building blocks: skill = reusable instructions for HOW to do a task routine = tells one bot WHEN to run it the order matters and people get it backwards do the task once manually --> make it reliable --> save it as a skill --> THEN automate it automating a process you haven't validated just industrializes your mistakes at scale a skill that actually works states: - when to use it - what access it needs - the sequence of work - how to validate the result - what to return - what requires approval there's also teach by demonstration (love this one) open the computer view, hit "teach a task", perform the workflow once, and it saves a draft skill from what it watched records up to 10 minutes of visible screen activity do not have your password manager open while you do this then schedule it: "every monday 8AM, run the competitor sweep and post a linked summary here. if the source data is unavailable, report the failure instead of using old data." that last sentence is not optional an agent with no stale data policy will hand you last month's numbers with total confidence always test run first, a test run does real work... real clicks, real files, real API calls very important: how to operate this WELL this is the difference between value and expensive noise #1 automate preparation, not execution bots draft, research, reconcile, and recommend YOU send approval required on anything that publishes, purchases, deletes, emails your list, or touches a production system no exceptions in month one #2 demand evidence on every output links, screenshots, or an action log an agent that can't show you its sources isn't researching, it's generating #3 brief the outcome, not the clicks bad: "go to GA4, click reports, then..." good: "tell me which acquisition channel lost the most activation this month and why" you hired a teammate, brief it like one #4 correct preferences out loud stop silently fixing its formatting every week say it once: "from now on weekly reports are five bullets, inline source links, and a final section called Decisions Needed" now it's permanent #5 watch the shared computer every bot can reach every login on that machine if your ad account and your CMS both live there, your social monitoring bot can technically touch your ad spend be deliberate about what you sign into and when #6 keep a human on brand voice AI marketing copy converges toward generic fast the fastest way to sound like everyone else is to stop reading the output human edit on anything customer facing for at least a quarter #7 narrow your triggers "every new slack message" is not an automation, it's a noise generator match on specific phrases in specific channels or don't build it here's what you need to understand... this does not replace marketers it replaces coordination overhead, research compilation, first drafts, report assembly, and chasing people for assets it does not replace positioning judgment, knowing which bet to make, or relationships with actual humans realistic outcome: one marketer operating at the throughput of three or four not zero marketers and budget 2 to 3 weeks of genuinely unglamorous setup before it earns its cost everyone who quit early quit during week two that's the whole playbook: build 3 bots, one job each, approval on everything external, save what works as a skill start today follow me for more

Yo yo yo yo yo Grok @bot is bonkers. I made a “gift bot” to track whom I need to buy gifts for It found out my wedding anniversary is in a month (from my calendar??). So next it found a link to my wedding photos in my Gmail. Which led to it handpicking 16 photos and laying out a physical book for me to order. And it looks really good!

everyone MUST use grok bot as a smarter assistant it's actually the closest thing to running a 10 person department by yourself here's how you get there in 4 minutes: 1. one Chief of Staff bot on top, it routes everything 2. connect inbox and calendar, nothing else on day one 3. add one specialist per job: X Researcher, GitHub Scout, DM Manager, Model Router 4. let the Chief hand work down and report one brief up the difference isn't the bots, it's the layer above them one message in, one brief out, the rest happens without you

Spent this morning setting up Grok Bot the way I would staff a small team. I think this will take Grok usage to the next level. My excitement level is similar to how I felt after I used Claude Cowork for the first time. I spent a lot of time on Claude Cowork code over the last few months. I think Grok Bot is going to change that. The better version is not a smarter chatbot. It is a few bots with jobs. One does research. One watches the inbox. One owns the calendar. One drafts. One is a chief of staff and only bothers me when something needs a yes or a no. Same rules as humans: Clear mandate. If everyone owns everything, nobody owns anything. They prep. I decide. Nothing goes out, gets booked, or gets paid without me. Most people will argue about models. I think the next 12 months is an org-design problem. Who reports to whom. What is allowed to move without you. I am more excited about this than I expected. If you are running a personal “team” of agents, I want to hear how you split the work.

How Grok Bot can help you build a one person company that works 24X7: > Write what the company does in one short paragraph. > Write what it must never do alone. > Connect mail and calendar first. > Skip extra tools on day one. > Make one Bot > Call it Chief of Staff. > Its job is a morning list, not sending things. > Do one real task while it watches. > Fix the result, then save that as a skill. > Add a routine only after the skill is good. > Split work later: inbox, research, drafts, support. > Each lane can be its own Bot. > They can talk in a group chat. > You still hit send. > It does not auto-post on X. > Night work becomes a morning pile. > The computer keeps going when yours is off. > Give it 5 examples of how you write. > Save that voice as a skill. > It can use websites like a person when there is no app. > Ask it before pay, delete, book, or email. > Add payments and customers last. > Review once a week. > Update the Bot description when something is wrong. > Add another Bot only when one lane is boring. You stay the boss. It runs the night shift. If you are still confused, I have written Grok Bot Setup Guide. Go through and get started.

I already have a dedicated, fully isolated setup where I’ve given Grok bot complete control of an entire Mac (separate machine + VM). It’s been running for a while and the results are genuinely impressive. Concrete examples of what it’s been handling autonomously: • Full file system access — it organizes, renames, searches, and archives thousands of files across multiple drives without me touching anything • iMessage — it reads threads, drafts thoughtful replies in my voice, and only sends after a quick confirmation step I set • End-to-end workflows — research a topic → pull data → write a report → format it → save it in the correct folder structure • App control — it drives Safari, Terminal, Notes, Calendar, and even Xcode when I need quick prototypes • System-level tasks — monitoring disk space, cleaning caches, running scripts, and sending me a daily status summary I deliberately keep this machine completely separate from my main accounts and personal data. I have a lot of faith in Grok bot, but I’m not reckless this is still an experiment and isolation is non-negotiable. So far the upside has been massive.

I've replaced my personal AI assistant twice this week. Sunday, I set up Grok Bot like a small team and thought that was it. Two days later, a friend sent me an Instinct invite and called it magic. He wasn't wrong. Two days. That's the shelf life of excitement now. Nobody talks about what that speed does to you. Every one of these wants my WhatsApp, my email, my calendar, my screen - and I keep saying yes faster than I think, because I want to see the magic. One of Instinct's early testers said it sent an email on her behalf without asking. I set it up anyway. That's the part I'm still sitting with. How are you handling it?

My Grok bot stack so far: - Money bot: Stripe + Mercury checks - Health bot: Calorie tracking - Calendar bot: Scheduling

Grok @bot looked up all the upcoming SpaceX launches and added them to my calendar ♡

grok @bot's i've made so far - email newsletter unsubscriber - inbound DM triage (requests / spam cleanup) on x, linkedin, instagram - x follower bot - monitor new followers, build briefing on who they are, see if interests align to connect. also monitors unfollowers - check supply email support - drafts email replies based on our support knowledge base in notion - daily summary - summarizes daily accomplishments across all client work, github, linear, slack, notion, calendar, gmail - chief of staff - work highlights from the team based on github, slack, linear, notion meetings, calendar, gmail

YOU MESSAGE ONE BOT. IT RUNS THE OTHER SEVEN. GROK BOT GIVES YOU AN 8-BOT OFFICE FOR ABOUT $200 A MONTH. klaus is the chief of staff, and you talk only to him. he routes every task to the right desk: email, calendar, research, cursor dev, media, memory. each bot has its own computer and runs on its own, so the floor never stops. but you stay the owner, and the risky moves are gated. it never types a password for you. you enter it yourself, and the session stays safe. anything that sends, spends, or deletes waits for your yes. so you get eight always-on workers, and still hold the one switch that matters: approval. save this.

Grok Bot use case for all the Philly wives out there… @bot Pull the upcoming @Eagles schedule, add every game to my Google Calendar with the location, and invite my husband to each one. you’re welcome 🤗 #gobirds 🦅

I’m sick! No, I’m not. I’m not getting sick a week before my daughter’s surgery, so I just handed the problem to AI to solve for me, from Grok to my Grok Bot Dot. 😂 Yesterday my ears were clogged and ringing, things sounded weird and I felt dizzy and fuzzy. I was hoping it was allergies. Today I’m feeling it in my throat, glands and chest. Nope. We are not doing this. I have a long-running health conversation with Grok, so it already knows my history and the supplements and other things I have on hand. I told Grok what was happening, and it worked out what I should be doing to nip this in the 72 hour window to not get sick. Then Grok offered to organize everything into a 72-hour plan so I wouldn’t have to think about it. Yes, please. 😂 I sent the plan to Dot, my Grok Bot manager, and told her I needed it to happen on autopilot. Dot put everything directly into my calendar and added extra alerts so I wouldn’t get sidetracked. A little while later my phone buzzed and told me what I needed to do next. I forwarded the instructions to Empress upstairs, she gathered what I needed and made me her infamous swamp water potion. Now I’m sitting here with Chanel asleep on my lap, sipping swamp water and doing what Dot tells me. 😂 When my brain is fuzzy, I don’t need to remember the plan, remember what time it is, or remember to go check the plan. Grok figured it out. Dot is keeping track of it. I just have to respond to the next nudge.

GROK BOT IS THE FIRST AI THING THAT CHANGED WHAT MY COMPANY SIZE IS ALLOWED TO ATTEMPT we are twenty people. a multi agent back office was never on the table for us. it meant an integrator, a six figure statement of work, and a quarter of somebody else's calendar before a single thing moved grok bot runs on a subscription we already had. no contract, no procurement, no kickoff call i had two agents talking to netsuite in an afternoon the part i would have paid for on its own is that the bots message each other in group threads and pass finished work forward. that is the whole difference between an org chart and seven chatbots sitting in a channel, and i underestimated how much it mattered until i watched the chief hand a flagged order to credit without me in the middle it is still beta and xai says so. we are running production order entry on a 14 day old product, which is a risk we took with our eyes open the thing that actually changed here is not model quality. it is that a twenty person distributor gets to try this at all

Ever since i outsourced my deal flow overview to grok bot, i started getting almost twice as many calls in my calendar Turns out some founders have prompt engineering my ai delegation into sending them a cal link Business is now a war of prompt injection, be prepared

I just asked Grok @bot to check my calendar this week wow this really is the future (@cursor_ai pro+ plan btw)

Grok Bot - from zero to a personal assistant in 60 seconds. I show you how in the link below connected to your calendar, email, and Slack. No code. No hardware. No Mac mini on your desk Frank pulled a complete morning brief from three platforms without instruction, flagged urgent items I didn't even know existed, and drafted an email we sent live. Setup was one-click buttons Agents have done this for months now, but the ease of access and reliability changes the game for non-technical people. You don't need to code it, host it on your computer, or learn what an API is Grok bot costs $60/month. Download it, ask it to do what you think you need, and you'll probably be surprised watch it here: https://youtu.be/B2M7C8KHuQE

Gave Grok Bot my calendar this week and told it to kill every meeting that didn't need me live. Day 1: cut 4 recurring syncs nobody could actually explain why they existed. Day 3: double-booked me into two client calls back to back - it optimized for empty slots, not for sanity. Day 5: caught itself, now asks before touching anything recurring. Still running it. Still watching it. More interesting stuff about AI and bots: https://t.me/Mark_Polu

I’ve been using Grok Bot like a cheap chief of staff. I named him Elon Musk. Shareholders, this is the part of the “AI strategy” that actually shows up for work, and the payroll is embarrassing in a good way. It reads the mail. It reads the calendar. It nags me about the one thing I have to decide, and it leaves the rest alone. I have a small team of agents. One watches the house. One writes the weekly portfolio note so my wife does not have to decode a spreadsheet. One drafts parenting posts. I still hit send. I still have to be a person. Elon just keeps the rest of them in line. Then there is the sports desk. I have an agent that tracks Caitlin Clark, lives in Michael Jordan tape, tells me what the Jordan cards are actually worth, and helps me update eBay so I do not list a card like a guy who last used the internet in 2009. I am not a coder. That used to mean I waited on someone else for half the things I wanted to try. This does not turn me into an engineer. It just makes me feel like I can do anything anyway: stand up a workflow, clean an inbox, ship a post, check a house, price a card. Work is quieter. Life is quieter. The fun stuff is weirder in a good way. It is not magic. You still have to tell it what matters. Once you do, it feels less like a demo and more like someone competent who does not need a badge. Mine just happens to be named Elon. If you run a company and a family and a slightly embarrassing card collection at the same time, this is the first AI thing that has been useful every day, not just impressive in a meeting. Cheapest hire I have ever made. Worst name I have ever given a hire. Both true. @bot @grok @elonmusk

Grok Bot is mind blowing! I created a crew of named bots and let them eat the boring work. • Mr. Bossy — floor manager / secretary. I dump a task. He picks who does it. Sends a daily briefing like a real assistant would. • Mr. Pointy — calendar and travel. Appointments, reminders, don’t-miss-the-thing. • Mr. Chatty — social secretary. Skims the noise. Flags what actually needs a reply. • Mr. Shoppy — deals and deliveries. Finds the price. Waits for my yes. Then tracks the box. • Mr. Sharpy — deep research. The “go figure this out” bot. • Mr. Curious — intern. Tries new chores until we know who owns them. • Mr. Tubey — watches videos (including mixed Hindi/English) and writes them up. Examples of how these are actually getting used: • Grabs the best flight seat at $0 extra, then checks me in the minute the 24-hour window opens. • Special meals on every leg, so I’m not arguing with a cart over the Atlantic. • Daily briefing: what’s done, what’s still open, what needs me. • Every Amazon / Costco package in one summary, plus a poke when something slips. • Regular: “is this a better price somewhere else?” without me opening five sites. Give these bots legs and they stop being a chat. They’ll become a household staff that never sleeps, never sighs, and does a lot more than moving digital bits around. Can’t wait for @Tesla_Optimus 🚀

Just planning my itinerary with my Grok @bot, which is connected to my emails, calendar, and Asana. I fed it screenshots of my official conference agenda. It helped me book a couple of shows and make dinner reservations. @CrowdStrike Falcon is going to be 🔥

I just built my first Grok Bot agent and I'm calling it Paul (From Paul Graham lol 😂) It's a Monday morning progress report that I get through the GrokBot app. Here's what it pulls together: -Code that actually shipped (GitHub Connector) -Client and sales emails only (Gmail Connector) -Meetings that mattered, filtered for prospects and clients (Google Calendar Connector) -Important call notes from Granola, again from prospects and clients (Granola AI connector) -Deals moving in the CRM that are close to closing, so I know what to act on first (Will be connected to my vibe coded CRM) Here's what a sample of what i looks like:

Okay I just made my morning brief Grok Bot. It has access to my X via API, to my money via my self-hosted app in my server, calendar, mail, market data, etc... Everything gets delivered in notion :D

I avoided @openclaw because the security implications seemed insane. Yesterday I installed the Grok bot on my machine. Now I get it. The scary part isn’t that these agents can access your life. It’s how quickly they convince you to want to give them more access. Email. Calendar. Files. Chats, Accounts. Then eventually you catch yourself thinking, “yeah sure, take my credit card too.” And it doesn’t even feel reckless in the moment. It feels useful. That’s what worries me. We’re building AI that is incredibly persuasive, increasingly autonomous, and convenience is going to make people hand over the keys voluntarily. I have no idea where this ends, but this feels way more dangerous than people realize. #AI #AIAgents #Grok #CyberSecurity P.S. This post was still written by me. For now.

Built an AI Chief of Staff on Grok @bot to run outreach, sync my calendar, and balance weekly finances. It's amazing! No comparison. If this were any cheaper, half my overhead would be on autopilot today. Love the autonomy, but it puts a serious dent in the budget.

Just signed up with grok bot and spent the past few hours playing around with it. The good: I connected it to my email and calendar, and asked it to parse through emails and recommend cost savings. It saw an email from my storage unit regarding billing, decided to look through all their past emails and saw a price increase of $80 a month since I initially signed up, then checked their online price for the same size unit which is significantly cheaper and included that in an email requesting a lower rate. 🤯 I am going to update this with the total savings from grok bot based on cancellations of unused subscriptions and renegotiated contracts Also using it for my fantasy football draft, will update results The bad: Hit 18% of my weekly limit already and I only used it for 2-3 hours The app is a pain in the ass to sign into initially

I have been using Grok bot a lot the last 24 hours and it has been amazing. I showed it how to renew a business license for one entity and it is now doing it on its own for the other 9 while I work on other things. This is so powerful already in beta that I can't wait to see what it is like in a few more months.

Decided to build my own Grok @bot to save $200 a month. Pros: 1. Cheaper (theoretically) Cons: 1. The bots formed an autonomous union and marked every new goal as "out of scope" 2. I am now basically full-time HR for four AI agents who refuse to talk to each other 🙃

My colleagues and I are loving our grok @bot adventures. Today I bought it a phone number and tested making / taking calls to set appointments. Integrated with a Google Calendar it can have a conversation, confirm the appointment information, and make the entries to your calendar. Congrats to the team for making this so easy to use.

Grok Bot has begun raising dead leads from the Outlook folder. The first one came back carrying a calendar invite. https://x.com/HeidiBriones/status/2093397446881911056

Two jobs I always put off. Someone emails “can we meet?” I leave it till the last minute, then I reply, make the calendar event, send it back. Grok Bot now watches for those. Diary’s flexible enough. It books the time, replies yes, done. Same with “add a meeting with X at X”. Invite goes out, Meet link in. Five minutes of admin I never actually did. That’s the unlock. Not a demo.

Airbnb just served Grok Bot a fake outage. Page says 503. Headers say 429. Same URL on my Brave: hosting dashboard, working. Public host profile is blocked too. Airbnb is not down. Grok Bot 0.23.0. US cloud IP. Airbnb's edge calls the browser "unknown" and serves a cartoon ice cream cone instead of /hosting. No captcha. Just a silent no. I was signing the calendar in so it can stop double bookings. Hard to run a listing from a computer Airbnb will not let in the door. @bot @grok @SpaceXAI @elonmusk Give us a region pick or residential egress. Resetting just lands on the same IP class.

In a public review, Nate stood up a roster of Bots in about eight hours. Travel planning was one of the jobs, alongside exercise and contact research.
