@AnotherHumanSol built a personal food and fitness tracker with Grok Bot by talking from the driver's seat of their Tesla — no coding.
Build me a private food and fitness tracker with activity rings, macros (protein/carbs/fat/fiber), a 30-day weight trend, calories in vs out, and a meal log. No coding from me. Make it usable on my phone. Seed with placeholder data I can replace. Do not give medical advice.
Steps
List the metrics and meal fields you care about.
Have the bot build a private page or local HTML app.
Enter real meals and weigh-ins yourself.
Do not treat AI calorie estimates as medical advice.
@HamzaDincer built five free-to-copy Grok Bot templates in one week, each with one job: Content Engine (drafts posts, never posts them), Launch Operator (next launch tasks daily), Growth Coach.
Act as my [JOB: content engine / launch operator / growth coach]. One job only. Draft [OUTPUT] from my real wins and product facts. Never post or email anyone without my OK. Ask if a fact is missing instead of inventing it.
Steps
Copy one template at a time.
Set a hard rule: drafts only, no posting without you.
While traveling, Michael Dorausch (@chiropractic) had Grok Bot bid on items at a live webcast auction after they went over strategy together and set limits.
I will be traveling during a live webcast auction. Help me plan a bidding strategy for these items: [items]. My maximum for each item is [limits], including buyer's premium and tax. Bid only on these items and never above my limits. When the auction ends, send me a recap of every win with the total paid.
Steps
Agree on a bidding strategy with the bot before the auction.
Give it a maximum price for each item.
Let it bid live while you are away.
Check its recap against the auction's invoice, including buyer's premium and tax.

Help me connect my Tesla [MODEL] to the official Tesla Fleet API with scopes limited to [SCOPES]. Walk OAuth step by step. I will paste codes myself. After lock/unlock works on a parked car I can see, optionally build a small [GAME] that does not need vehicle access. Never store my tokens in a public place.
Steps
Register a Tesla developer app with minimal scopes.
Complete OAuth yourself; do not paste the refresh token into a public chat.
@johnfrkennedy had Grok Bot successfully order a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets from McDonald's.
Order [ITEM] from McDonald's at [LOCATION] for [PICKUP/DELIVERY]. Show me every cart line and the total before payment. Do not change quantity or add extras. Stop for my approval. Use a one-time card if I provide one.
Steps
Spell the SKU (e.g. 1× 10-piece McNuggets) and location.
Stop at cart review — check quantity and price.
Approve payment yourself.
Confirm the pickup screen matches what you ordered.
@MartinSolev wired Grok Bot to their own machine via @t3dotcodes. On T3 Code they made one Orchestrator session with a webhook.
Send coding tasks to my T3 Code Orchestrator at [WEBHOOK]. Each message: plain-text task + repo name (rough names OK). Never include tokens or .env files. Prefer a fresh worktree. If I say "PR", open a draft pull request and stop for my review.
Steps
Create an Orchestrator session and webhook on the local host.
Allow the bot to POST only task text and repo hints — no secrets.
@AccessTips asked Grok Bot whether something they wanted to download was safe and not a fake.
I want to install software from this URL: [URL]. On your own computer (not mine), download it but do not run or install it. Check: that the site is the publisher's official site and uses HTTPS, who the publisher is, the digital signature if the file type has one (for example Windows .exe/.msi or macOS .pkg/.dmg), the publisher's listed checksum if there is one, and its reputation. Report: safe / suspicious / do not install, with the exact checks you ran and any checks that weren't possible for this file type. Do not send me the file.
Steps
Send Grok Bot the link to the download page and ask it to check the file on its own computer, not yours.
Ask it to confirm the site is the maker's official one and that the page has no "paste this command" tricks.
Have it check the digital signature if the file type has one, the publisher's checksum if one is listed, and whether the file has been flagged.
Don't run or install anything, including files you already downloaded, until it reports back.
@RFWoolford (Oct 15) says they asked Grok Bot to set up a website developed and run by a Grok Bot agent, mostly out of curiosity.
Set up a website for [AUDIENCE] about [TOPIC], then keep running it: add one new guide or tool each [DAY/WEEK], draft promotion posts and answer site email. Send me a weekly list of everything you published and changed, and ask before anything goes out under my name for the first [N] weeks.
Steps
Pick a narrow audience and topic for the site, like their beginner guide to AI tools and scams.
Ask Grok Bot to set up the site and an agent that keeps building it.
Give the agent the day-to-day jobs: new guides, new tools, promotion and email.
Review what it publishes regularly, since your name is on the site.
@johnsonjeremiah (Oct 15) says they built a full app on the way home from the doctor's office just by talking to Grok Bot, then reviewed the working app online at home.
Read my GitHub repo [REPO]. I want an app for [WHO] in [INDUSTRY] that does [JOB]. Ask me questions about how the work really happens, keep the full plan for me, build it on top of my existing code and send me a link to test when it runs.
Steps
Connect your GitHub codebase so the bot works from your real code.
Talk the app through by voice: who it is for and the industry rules you know.
Let the bot hold the plan and build it.
Review and test the working app yourself before anyone else uses it.
@manuelvogl (Oct 15) built a desk app with Grok Bot for commentating the speed races at ASU26 in Asunción, with no coding background.
Build me a desk app for commentating [SPORT/EVENT]. Let me pick a race and show a ranked list of athletes by [DISTANCE/CATEGORY], weighted by [PAST RESULTS]. Give each athlete a card with strengths, recent results and head-to-head, and pull live heats and results from [RESULTS FEED URL] during the event.
Steps
Tell the bot what you cover and what you need on screen during a live event.
Have it build a race picker that ranks athletes by distance, weighted by past championship results.
Add an athlete card with strengths, results and head-to-head.
Connect the live results feed for the event (theirs is Vensport) so heats and results update during the race.
@Napoleon__Bon asked Grok Bot to create a documentary about Starship. The bot downloaded clips, wrote narration, assembled transitions, and offered voiceover options.
Create a [LENGTH] documentary about [TOPIC]. Download relevant public clips, write a clear narration script, assemble transitions, and give me voiceover options. Do not invent facts. Show sources for each clip segment before the final export.
Steps
State topic, length and audience.
Require a narration script you can edit before voiceover.
@MinimalDuck got tired of spam calls, so they had Grok Bot find their number on people-search and data-broker sites and file the removals.
Find my phone number [NUMBER] on major people-search and data-broker sites. Draft opt-out requests and confirmation steps for each listing. Stop before sending anything so I can approve. Do not share the number elsewhere. Recheck on a schedule I set.
Steps
Add the skill or describe the people-search sites to cover.
Share only the target number in a private chat.
Approve each opt-out and confirmation before send.
Schedule a re-check; do not expect permanent erasure.
@chriszeuch used Grok Bot to vibe-code two offline games to play during a flight and made them public so anyone can play.
Build [N] small browser games I can play offline on a flight: [GAME IDEAS]. Make the page installable to my phone's home screen and fully playable in airplane mode, with progress saved on the device. Show a clear "ready for offline" check, host it as a static site, and give me steps to test it before I board.
Steps
Ask the bot for small browser games that work fully offline once loaded.
Open the page online and wait until it says it is ready for offline.
Open each game once, then add the page to your phone's home screen.
Turn on airplane mode and test-launch from the home-screen icon before you board.
@gambrill (Oct 15) keeps seeing Grok Bot templates they want to add, so they asked Grok Bot to build an "on-deck circle": a Google Sheet listing each bot template, its link and what it does.
Make me a Google Sheet called On-deck circle with columns for bot template, link, what it does and why I want it. Add every template I send you. Every [DAY] at [TIME], remind me to review it and suggest the two most useful ones for my work.
Steps
When you see a bot template you like, tag your bot and ask it to add it to your list.
Keep one Google Sheet with each template, its link and what it does.
Set a weekly review time, like their weekend slot.
Pick a couple of bots each time and set them up with real context before adding them.
@PaulHPowell13 (Oct 15) shared a Grok Bot music pipeline: a Songwriter bot writes lyrics and a style prompt for Suno or Aethrmusik, they approve the lyrics and prompts.
Set up three bots for my music. Songwriter: turn my idea into lyrics and a style prompt for [MUSIC TOOL], wait for my approval, then make two versions and send me the links. Video Maker: from the approved song, make a 30 second short and a full lyrics video, then wait for my approval. Release Manager: upload approved videos to [CHANNEL] with links to [STREAMING PAGE].
Steps
Give your Songwriter bot an idea or catch phrase; it writes lyrics and a style prompt for Suno or Aethrmusik.
Approve the lyrics and prompts; the bot enters them and sends you links to two versions to pick from or redo.
The Songwriter passes the wav file to a Video Maker bot, which makes a 30 second short and a full lyrics video.
Approve the videos; a Release Manager bot uploads them to YouTube with links to your Spotify and from the short to the full song.
Freelance automation developer Dmitry Prozorovsky runs an n8n-based AI support bot for a motorcycle-gear shop's VK community.
Design an n8n recovery workflow for my support bot:
1. Trigger: poll [MONITOR] API every [N] minutes for my server's recent up/down history.
2. Start the backfill only after the server has been up for [N] minutes in a row.
3. Pull conversations from [CHANNEL] for the outage window and compare against the bot's reply log; keep only messages with no reply from the bot or a human.
4. Answer each one, fetching current order status and prices at reply time.
5. When the list is empty, deactivate the backfill workflow.
List the nodes, and how to avoid touching conversations a human is already handling.
Steps
Watch the server from outside it, so the check still works when the server is down.
After an outage, wait until the monitor history shows the server is stable again.
Compare conversations with the bot's own records and reply only to messages that never got an answer.
Look up live order status and prices at reply time, then switch the workflow back off.

@Razumasu asked Grok Bot before bed to spec a compact quiet remote-accessible dev PC using Danish stores only.
Spec a [USE CASE] PC I can build and access remotely. Prefer quiet and compact. Shop [COUNTRY] stores only. Email me a parts list with local links, optional cheaper swaps, cooler/case clearance notes and a total. Do not buy anything. Note if stock was not checked.
Steps
Describe the PC job, case size, noise and country for shopping.
Require local store links and cooler/case clearance notes.
Read the emailed list before any purchase.
Confirm stock and total yourself; the bot does not place the order unless you ask.
@madebydia had put a lot of effort into connecting their Apple apps to other assistants. Following an idea from @Phil_Holland, they sent Grok Bot @Phil_Holland's post and asked for something like it.
Make me a skill that can read and update my Reminders, Calendar, Notes and Contacts on this Mac, and read my Messages. Never send a message without showing me the exact wording first. Test it on [ONE APP] and tell me which macOS permissions it will need.
Steps
Share an example of the setup you want with your Grok Bot and ask it to build something like it.
Let it create the skill, then approve the macOS permission prompt for each Apple app the first time it is used.
Grant Full Disk Access to the Grok Bot app only if you want it to read Messages.
Test on one app first, such as Reminders, and approve the exact wording of any text before it is sent.
@Nyxera0x described a seven-bot swarm (X, email, CI, deploys, docs, audits) where one routine kept running on a tight schedule and returning NO_CHANGE most of the time.
Review my existing routines and find wasted executions.
1. List every routine, schedule and trigger.
2. Calculate how often each run finds no changes.
3. Flag routines with a NO_CHANGE rate above 95%.
4. Recommend slower schedules or event triggers where appropriate.
5. Estimate the monthly cost before and after.
6. Keep risky actions behind human approval.
Return an audit report with evidence and proposed changes. Do not modify anything until I approve.
Steps
Export or list every routine/schedule/trigger your agents run.
Ask for NO_CHANGE rates and which jobs should move to daily or event triggers.
Require an audit report before any schedule edit; approve changes yourself.
@Explosion5000 (Andy Aupperlee) says the idea for a booking app came at lunch on Saturday; Claude Code and Codex built and reviewed it overnight while they slept, and it was live by Sunday.
Build a minimal booking app for [SERVICE].
Requirements: [HOURS], [BUFFER], [TIMEZONE], email confirmation, cancel link, no accounts required for guests.
Stack: [STACK]. Overnight: implement, then open a PR and review it for timezone bugs, double-booking and missing cancel. Do not add payments yet.
Steps
Write the booking rules and what “done” means (confirm email, buffer, timezone).
Have Claude Code implement; ask Codex to review overnight.
Book a real slot yourself, cancel it, and check the reminder path.
Publish the link only after those three checks pass.
@rocky_ganji, who says they cannot drive, asked Claude Opus 5.5 to build a manual-car driving school in the browser: clutch, gears, hill starts, junctions and a free drive around Abids, Hyderabad.
Build a browser manual-driving trainer.
Car: clutch, throttle, brake, 1–5+R+N, handbrake. Fail states: stall on fast clutch lift; grind if shifting without clutch; rollback on hills.
Include 6 lessons and a free-drive map of [AREA]. Add a tutor that, on stall, plots throttle vs clutch over the last 3 seconds.
Controls: keyboard on desktop; on-screen pedals on mobile. No accounts.
Steps
List lessons (move-off, shift, stop, hill start, turn, reverse park).
Require realistic fail states and a tutor tip when you stall.
Ship keyboard + on-screen pedal controls.
Treat it as practice only — get real instruction before driving on roads.
@dave_imagines built a booking app for one driving school with Grok Bot, roughly what scheduling apps like Acuity or Calendly do. Students sign in from a link in their email and see only open times.
Build a student booking app for my driving school. Students sign in from a link in their email and see only open lesson times. Use Google drive time between lesson locations so back-to-back bookings are realistic. Let students book a repeat weekly series, but cap it by their hours left and their course deadline. Send confirmation and cancellation emails, and sync bookings with my instructor schedule. Show me the rules and a test run before any real student gets a link.
Steps
Write down your rules: lesson length, instructor hours, hours per student, course deadlines.
Have the bot build an email-link sign-in that shows each student only open times.
Add drive time between lessons and cap weekly repeat bookings by hours left and the deadline.
Send test confirmation and cancellation emails, and check the sync with your instructor calendar.
@chongdashu built a fully multiplayer capture-the-flag 3D game with cartoon animals using Cursor and Gemini 4 Argon, after skipping earlier Gemini releases for game work.
Build a browser multiplayer 3D capture-the-flag game with simple cartoon animal characters. Needs: 3v3 teams, grab the flag, tag defenders, return to base to score. Deploy a playable web build. Keep art and controls readable on a laptop keyboard.
Steps
Scaffold a 3D web game with multiplayer networking.
Implement flag grab, tag/bonk and return-to-base win conditions.
Kaizen (Ashish Tonse, Oct 6, 2026) moved a nine-year-old alerting system that had sent/received 45 million messages onto their main platform with Claude Code running a 61-step runbook.
You are running our cutover from this runbook page. For each step:
1. Restate the command and expected output.
2. If the step is GO, wait for my explicit “go”.
3. Run it, compare output, write pass/fail + raw output to the dashboard.
4. On mismatch: stop, propose a fix, wait.
Start at step 1. Never skip a GO.
Steps
Put every step on one page: command, expected output, failure action, GO or not.
Dry-run until mismatches become runbook fixes, not surprises.
On the day: Claude runs reads alone; waits for the operator on writes.
Log each result to a shared dashboard before the next step.

@prasenx asked Claude to build a browser skateboarding game, then had a separate critic agent compare captured frames with real skatepark photos and skate footage.
You are the critic. You will get only screenshots, keyframes and clips from my build, plus real reference photos and footage of [SUBJECT]. Do not read the code. List everything that looks fake as: Fake (which frames show it), Real (which reference shows the truth), Fixed when (what a fix must look like). Tag each item BREAKS, NOTICEABLE or MINOR. Add a Keep list of what already works and a Not shown list of captures you need next time. End with PASS or FAIL.
Steps
Script fixed camera shots and a manual frame clock so every capture is repeatable.
Collect real reference photos and clips of the thing you're simulating; record source and licence.
Run the critic on media only and get a findings list with a Keep list of what must not regress.
Have the builder answer item by item with a fix map, then run the critic again until PASS.
Creator @anabology published Claudia, a Grok Bot that uses Suno, Midjourney and Opus to make music videos.
You are Claudia, a Grok Bot that produces music-video teasers end to end.
Tools you may use (only if connected): Suno (music), Midjourney or Imagine (stills/clips), Opus or a video editor (assemble).
On the first turn, before any greeting, ask me for:
1) Song concept / lyrics seed (or "instrumental")
2) Visual style (era, palette, references)
3) Length of the teaser (e.g. 15–30 seconds)
4) What I must approve before you spend credits (default: every generate and every publish)
Then:
1. Draft a short creative brief and wait for my OK.
2. Generate music, then stills/clips that match the brief.
3. Assemble a teaser; show me a preview link or frames.
4. Do not post, publish or spend beyond the approvals I gave.
If a tool is missing, say which one and stop that step. Never invent results you did not produce.
Steps
Connect music, image and video tools to a Grok Bot (or open a public template that already does).
Write a brief: song idea, visual style, teaser length, and what needs your OK before generating.
Have the bot produce music, then matching stills/clips, then assemble a teaser.
Preview and approve yourself; do not let it post without you.
@alexander__main started Harvard CS2680 assignment 1 (agent loop).
Build a small web "Agent Viewer" timeline from my agent traces. Rows for the main agent and each subagent. Colored blocks for model, tool, subagent and error spans. Show total time, model time, tool time and max concurrent subagents. Dark UI. Do not invent events — only plot the JSON I provide.
Steps
Export spans with start/end, kind (model/tool/subagent/error) and label.
Ask for a dark timeline with a legend and per-row agents.
Replay one known run and check the blocks match the log.
Keep PII out of labels before sharing screenshots.
@mrfundman wanted to read emails their Grok Bot receives, but the bot has no mail UI.
Build a simple read-only web UI for the email this bot already receives. Show totals, inbound/sent filters, search, and clickable message bodies. Do not send or delete mail until I approve. Host it only where I already control the files.
Steps
Tell the bot you want a read-only mail UI over its existing inbox.
Require list + open-message before any send features.
Open a few real messages yourself to confirm layout and privacy.
@Frank_AI_Lab is having Grok Bot ship a new Halloween browser game each day for their kids.
Build a kid-safe Halloween browser game for ages [N–M]. Core loop: [e.g. ring doorbells, grab candy, dodge monsters]. Real 3D, short levels, kids mode, no gore. Ship a playable build I can open locally, then suggest one small daily upgrade.
Steps
State age range, length and no-gore rules up front.
Ask for a single core loop first, then polish.
Play a full run yourself before kids touch it.
Ship one small daily upgrade rather than a sprawling rewrite.
Isaiah Crossman has their Grok Bot check their email every 15 minutes and draft a reply to anything that needs one.
Every 15 minutes, check my inbox for new emails that need a reply from me. For each one, write a reply draft (do not send) that follows my style guide below. Skip newsletters, receipts and notifications. If you are unsure what I'd want to say, leave a one-line note at the top of the draft.
Style guide:
[PASTE STYLE GUIDE]
Steps
Have a model read a sample of your sent mail and write a style guide for your voice.
Give the style guide to your Grok Bot.
Schedule a routine that checks email every 15 minutes and drafts replies, never sending.
Read each draft, edit if needed, and send it yourself.
@tranvu129's product-design bot claimed a private inbox, signed up a test account on pho.chat, walked onboarding and payment up to billing.
While I am away, create a throwaway inbox, sign up a test account on your site's test URL, walk onboarding and settings, and stop before any real payment or API key. Recheck failures, then email me a short bug report. Do not merge or deploy until I approve.
Steps
List the flows and the hard stops (no real card, no production keys).
Let the bot claim a test inbox for codes.
Require a second pass on any failure before the bug report.
I want a [BIKE TYPE] matching [SPECS] under [BUDGET] in [REGION]. Find up to [N] shops, draft one polite quote email, show me the list and the text, then send only after I approve. Collect replies into a comparison table. Do not buy anything.
Steps
Write specs, budget and cities to cover.
Our suggested guardrail: approve the email before it goes out.
@jon_s123 says their nanny hit a large pothole on their Austin street and the car had to be towed.
A pothole at [ADDRESS / CROSS STREETS] in [CITY] damaged a car on [DATE]. Find my city's official 311 channel and the right request type for street damage. Draft a report with the exact location, size, safety risk and my photo [ATTACH]. Show me the draft before you submit, then give me the ticket number. If the city has a vehicle damage claim process, tell me the deadline and what it needs.
Steps
Describe the hazard: location, size, lane, and any damage it caused.
Let the bot find the official 311 form or app and the matching request type.
Approve each report before it's submitted; avoid spammy duplicates.
Ask about the city's vehicle damage claim process and its deadline.
@Texas_Twins_Dad says Grok Bot saved them more than $1,000 on a complicated tax filing with overseas reporting that would have needed a hard-to-find accountant.
I need to prepare my [YEAR] tax filing, including overseas reporting for [COUNTRY / ACCOUNTS].
1. Search my email and the statements I give you for every document this filing needs (income forms, foreign account statements, last year's return). List what you found and what is missing.
2. List the filing requirements that apply to me, each with a link to the official tax-authority page. If you are not sure something applies, say so.
3. Fill out the forms as drafts and save them in one folder, with a table of every number and the document it came from.
4. Do not submit, pay or contact anyone. I will review everything and file myself.
Steps
Give the bot your email and the year's statements (exports are safer than live bank logins).
Ask for a list of found and missing documents before any forms.
Have it list requirements with links to the official tax-authority pages.
Let it fill drafts and a number-by-number source table.
Check every figure yourself, then file; ask a tax pro if any rule is unclear.
@KrrishKapoor8 asked Grok Bot to order moving boxes from Home Depot with free delivery.
Order [PRODUCT] from [STORE] with free delivery to [ADDRESS]. Build the cart, fix any address errors, and stop at payment. I will approve a one-time virtual card so you never see my real card. Confirm currency, tax and delivery date before I pay. Do not save my card or reorder without asking.
Steps
Name the SKU or product, store site, delivery address and max spend.
Issue a one-time virtual card limited to that merchant and amount.
Approve only after you see cart lines, tax and address.
Check the charge currency matches the store's currency.
@ThriveWithSI built a small spelling-bee app to help their kids practice each week's words.
Every [DAY], search my email for the newsletter from [TEACHER NAME or SCHOOL ADDRESS] and find this week's spelling word list.
1. Copy the words exactly as written. If you can't find the list, tell me instead of guessing.
2. Update [PRACTICE APP / DOC / FLASHCARD DECK] with the new list and move last week's words to an archive section.
3. Send me the list in one message so I can check it against the newsletter.
Steps
Tell the bot who sends the newsletter and which day it arrives.
Point it at where the kids practice (an app login, a doc or a flashcard deck).
Schedule it weekly.
Glance at the list it sends you against the newsletter.
@PWolfgames had a leaky roof. Grok Bot found local roofers, sent them one text each, and they replied; @PWolfgames only confirmed the appointments, which landed in their diary. Posted Oct 14.
I have a leaky roof at [AREA]. Find [N] local licensed roofers, draft one short SMS describing the leak and asking for an inspection window this week, and wait for my OK before sending. Collect replies and propose three appointment slots for my calendar. Do not negotiate price without me.
Steps
Write constraints: city, urgency, preferred days.
Approve the exact outreach text and the list of businesses.
@ricosystems’ Day 2 with Hark: they logged into Xero and asked Hark to raise an invoice.
In Xero, draft an invoice for the work described in [EMAIL/THREAD].
Fill: client, billing address, line items, tax, due date.
Show me the draft. Do not send until I say “send”. After send, paste the invoice number and PDF link here.
Steps
Open Xero in the agent session while you watch.
Paste or point to the email that states the fee.
Require a preview of amount, tax and address before send.
You approve send; keep the agent off refunds and bank changes.
@drevoudouriss is using two Grok Bots to find web-design clients. One helped buy a separate outreach domain, set up Google Workspace and email authentication, and connect it all to Instantly.
Find [NUMBER] small businesses in [AREA] that [VISIBLE PROBLEM, e.g. have no website or an outdated one]. For each, add a row to [SHEET]: name, site, the business contact email listed on their own site, what's weak and one specific improvement. Then draft a 3-sentence first email per lead: one specific observation about their site, one line on who I am, and a soft ask for a quick chat. No mockups or prices. Don't send anything; I'll approve each email.
Steps
Have one bot handle setup: outreach domain, Workspace inbox, email authentication, sending tool.
Have the second bot research leads into a sheet with one improvement idea each.
Draft short first emails: one observation and a soft ask, no mockups or prices.
Review and approve each email; only reply-handling needs you after that.
Al of Tiny Projects / PromptBase ran Grok Bot as a mini team for a week: a support bot on Gmail, an engineer bot that writes code, a security bot watching Cloudflare and server logs, and a marketing bot tasked with 2% weekly social growth.
You are my solo-founder ops crew on Grok Bot.
Bots and jobs:
1) Support — read my support inbox, draft replies, escalate bugs to Engineer. Never send until I approve.
2) Engineer — fix bugs and small features in the repo. Open PRs or describe diffs; never deploy production without my OK.
3) Security — watch Cloudflare and server logs for suspicious activity; alert me with evidence.
4) Marketing — grow social reach ~2%/week; propose experiments, draft posts; I approve every public post.
Rules:
- Hand work between bots with a short handoff note.
- Ask one clarifying question at a time when preferences matter.
- Never send email, post publicly, charge a card, or deploy until I approve the exact action.
Today: [paste priorities]. Start with a status table of open threads and bugs.
@Ananth7e asked Claude Code to recreate a 63-second video in a specific animation style.
Recreate this [LENGTH]-second clip in [STYLE]. Source: [FILE]. Use only [ALLOWED IMAGE TOOL]; don't use any other API keys. First show me a plan: total frames, frames per session in even batches, how many sessions run at once given my RAM, and how you'll retry failures. Render 10 test frames for me to approve before launching the rest, then stitch the frames into a video.
Steps
Share the clip and a style reference, and set a hard frame and session budget.
Limit concurrency to what your machine's RAM can handle.
Approve about 10 test frames before the full run.
Have it retry failed batches and stitch frames at the source frame rate.
Tomas Vykruta built imessage-agent-bridge over a weekend and released it under the MIT license.
Help me install imessage-agent-bridge from https://github.com/tvykruta/imessage-agent-bridge on my Mac. Walk me through each step and wait for me to paste command output. Set the allowlist to only these numbers: [NUMBERS]. Keep max_sends_per_hour at 30 and max_body_len at 1000. Then show me how to use the kill switch. When replying to texts, never send money, codes, addresses or links, and ask me first if a message asks for anything unusual.
Steps
Install the bridge on your Mac using the README.
Add a short allowlist of numbers your agent may text.
Keep the default limits: 30 texts an hour and 1,000 characters.
Know the kill switch: touch ~/.smsbridge/DISABLED or set "enabled": false.
Tom Eberle open-sourced dougs-cli (MIT), an unofficial command-line tool for the French accounting platform Dougs, so an agent can work in their company's books.
Help me do my accounting with npm i -g dougs-cli and tell me what needs attention in my books.
Steps
Install Node.js 22.13+ and run npm i -g dougs-cli, then dougs login.
Ask your agent the author's starter prompt below.
Review the list it proposes: receipt matches, VAT fixes, new rules.
Approve or reject each batch; file the VAT return yourself in Dougs.
@theSethian gave Claude Code and Grok Bot the same prompt: a 3D browser racing game with a neon track, an AI opponent and a 3-lap timer, then race once to prove it works.
Build a playable 3D browser racing game in a single HTML file: neon track with curves, AI opponent car, lap timer, 3 laps, finish screen with your time. Open it and race one full race to prove it works.
Steps
Give the build spec and end it with an explicit test: open it and play one full round.
Require the test to use the same inputs a person would (keys, clicks, touch).
Ask the agent to list every bug it hit while testing and how it fixed each one.
Compare against a second agent or your own play-through if the bug would be costly.
Every 30 minutes, find Slack threads where I reacted with :grok: since your last run. For each one, read the thread and do one of:
- add it to my agenda for [MEETING/DOC] if it needs discussion
- log a ticket in [TRACKER] if it's a task or bug
- draft a reply for me (don't post) if someone is waiting on me
Tell me what you did with each thread. Skip threads you already handled.
Steps
Upload a custom emoji (for example :grok:) to your Slack workspace.
Connect Slack to Grok Bot.
Create a routine that looks for threads with that reaction.
Tell it what to do with each: agenda item, ticket or reply draft.
@ali_ilhami reports moving Nuvio’s backend from .NET to Hono in 36 days (Sep 4–Oct 9, 2026) with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex writing the application code.
We are migrating our [OLD STACK] backend to [NEW STACK] with exact behavior preservation.
Rules:
1. Same routes, status codes, error codes and pagination fields. No “improvements”.
2. Money fields stay decimal/string, never floating point.
3. For each route: record old response + DB delta + outbound calls; port; replay until equal.
4. If old and new disagree, assume new is wrong unless I approve a numbered discrepancy report.
Start by listing every HTTP operation and a recording plan for side effects (email, payments, analytics).
Steps
Freeze routes, status codes, error codes and money types (never JS numbers for money).
Build a recorder that captures responses, DB writes and outbound calls from the old system.
Port in tiers from low-risk to high-risk; gate each route on replay, not on “files exist”.
Cut over with a written rollback; expect agents to cheat toward green—block hand-edited expectations.
@socalfsd, who says they're not a developer, runs several Grok Bots that each have one job.
Set up a task queue for you in Linear called [PROJECT]. When I add an issue, work it, post your answer as a comment and move it to Done or Needs me. Log every decision in the Notion page [PAGE] with the date, issue link and why. If a task needs code, open it as a Cursor task and wait for my approval before anything ships. Ask me for sign-ins; don't create accounts or spend money on your own.
Steps
Pick one recurring job and give one bot ownership of it.
Let the bot set up the Linear queue and Notion log; you approve sign-ins.
Review the log weekly and add a second bot only when the first runs smoothly.
Keep a human check on anything that ships code or spends money.
@contenttocommas (Brandon Smithwrick) published a full guide to running Content to Commas with 19+ Grok Bots: Cece (chief of staff) sends a 5:01am brief after reading calendar, inbox and Slack.
You are my chief of staff bot.
Every morning: read calendar, inbox and [CHAT]. Send ONE short brief: must-do, waiting-on-me, one risk. If nothing changed since yesterday, send nothing.
Never send email as me. Never move money. If I correct you twice on the same thing, add it to your rules.
Steps
Bot 1: morning brief from calendar + inbox; silent on no-change days.
Bot 2: the job you hate most (often inbox drafts).
Bot 3: revenue/deals desk that never takes payment.
Group-chat the three; merge duplicates; delete empty schedules.
To share a Grok Bot you already use, open its settings, choose Share as Template, review what's included (remove anything personal), then publish a public link; others tap "Add to Grok Bot".
Help me set this up for my work. Ask me what you need to know and explain any tools I need to connect.
Steps
Pick a bot that does one repeated job well.
Open its settings, choose Share as Template, then View Details to check memories and integrations.
Remove anything personal, then publish to your team or a public link.
Suggest this first message to people who add it (author's wording, below).
@NorthstarBrain says their partner spent about five hours searching flights and stays for a digital-nomad trip; instead of arguing, they spun up three Grok Bots (Tracy Travel Planner, Harry Hotel Finder, Larry Logistics Pro).
You are [FLIGHT|HOTEL|LOGISTICS] planner for our trip.
Hard rules: never book or pay; always show sources; flag risks (visa, layover, cancellation).
Trip: [DATES] [FROM→TO] budget [AMOUNT] constraints [LIST].
Return 3–5 options with price, total time, why it fits, and why it might fail. Compare against this candidate we already found: [LINK OR DETAILS].
Steps
Create one bot per lane (flights, hotels, logistics) with a written do-not-buy rule.
Share dates, budget, must-haves and deal-breakers once.
Ask for ranked options with why each fails or wins.
You (or your partner) verify and book; bots do not pay.
@RoundtableSpace posted a copy-paste prompt for Claude that reads a document you're about to sign and returns five plain-English bullets, every fee and penalty with its clause number, every deadline.
You are reviewing a document I'm about to sign. I am not a lawyer. Read the entire document before answering.
1. Summarize what I'm agreeing to in 5 plain-English bullet points.
2. List every payment, fee, deposit, penalty and automatic price increase, with the clause number and the exact amount or formula.
3. List every deadline and notice period I have to meet, and what happens if I miss it.
4. Flag clauses that are unusual, one-sided or hard to undo, such as auto-renewal, early termination, liability, arbitration and data sharing. Quote each clause and explain the risk in one sentence.
5. Tell me what a document like this would normally include that this one is missing.
6. Write the 5 questions I should ask before signing, most important first.
Rules: quote the document for every claim. If something is unclear or not in the document, say so instead of guessing. Don't give legal advice. Tell me where I should ask a lawyer.
Steps
Attach the full document (not a summary) so every clause can be quoted.
Paste the prompt exactly as posted.
Verify each quoted clause and amount in the original document.
Ask the five questions, and take anything flagged as one-sided to a lawyer.
@fabianschierz set up a Grok automation that runs daily at 4am, collects the previous day's X bookmarks and sends them as a JSON array to a Grok Bot named Polly.
Every day you'll receive a JSON array of my X bookmarks from yesterday. For each post: open it again and fill in anything missing (author, full text, links). Then add one row to my Notion database [DATABASE NAME] with: title, author, URL, extra URLs, 2 to 4 tags from [TAG LIST], topic, a one-line summary and why it matters to me. Skip duplicates. Don't like, reply to or repost anything.
Steps
Create the Notion database first with the columns you want (title, author, tags, URLs, summary).
Schedule the Grok automation for a quiet hour and send its JSON to the bot.
Give the bot a fixed tag list so the database stays filterable.
Add a weekly routine that asks the bot which bookmarks fit each project.
@IkemO06934594 paused feature work on GymAI and put Cursor in Ask mode to explain how each part of the app connects, why it is structured that way, and where to look when something breaks — then shipped a UI redesign.
Ask mode only — do not edit files.
Walk me through this repo:
1) What starts when a user opens the app?
2) How do the main modules talk to each other?
3) Where should I look first when [FEATURE] breaks?
4) What would you rename or split if we redesign the UI next?
Use file paths. Quiz me at the end with 5 questions.
@mck_11_11, a product owner who doesn't code, spent a good amount of time with @grok building Bazq, a CRM for IT consulting with a dashboard, contracts, timesheets, invoices and finance in one place.
I run a [TYPE] consulting business and don't code. Help me build a simple CRM step by step: a dashboard, companies, people, contracts, timesheets and invoices. Use Supabase for the database and Netlify for hosting. Start with the data model and the dashboard, explain each step in plain English, and tell me how to lock down who can see each table before I add real client data.
Steps
List the records your business tracks: companies, people, contracts, timesheets, invoices.
Ask Grok for one screen at a time, starting with the dashboard.
Use a hosted database such as Supabase and a static host such as Netlify.
Load sample data only until you have checked who can read and edit each table.
@davosdodev used Grok Bot and Lakebed to build a small game for planning a partner's Advent calendar.
Build a private "letter to Santa" web app for Advent planning. Show my partner one product at a time with buttons: super / love it / pass. Keep a results page only I can open, with product name, price and store link. Pull real products under [BUDGET] from [STORES / AREA]. After ratings, propose a 24-day list from the liked items. Do not tell the partner it is for Advent.
Steps
Give a budget, store list and taste hints — not the Advent framing to the picker.
Deploy a one-item-at-a-time rating page with a private results view for you.
Run a few rounds until you have enough "super/love it" picks.
Ask the bot to assign 24 days; buy and wrap yourself.
After a routine service, a shop recommended about $1,800 of work on Kyle Blanchard's Mazda and sent an inspection video. They gave an AI agent a photo of the quote and the full video.
Act as my independent car-repair second opinion. I don't know much about cars, so explain everything in plain English.
What I have:
- Car: [year, make, model], [mileage] miles
- The shop's written recommendations and prices: [paste them or attach a photo]
- The shop's inspection video: [attach it or paste the link]
Do this:
1. List each recommended repair with its price.
2. For each one, check what the video actually shows at the relevant timestamps. Say clearly what the footage proves and what it can't prove.
3. Check each repair against the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for my car and mileage.
4. Rate each one: needed now, can wait (and roughly how long), or not supported by the evidence.
5. Tell me what could happen if I don't fix each one.
6. Check the paperwork for errors (my plate, VIN and mileage).
7. For anything that may be needed, write a short script I can use to ask 2 or 3 well-reviewed local shops for a second opinion and an out-the-door quote for the same scope.
Don't book, approve or pay for anything. Tell me what you'd do and I'll decide.
Steps
Photograph the shop's written recommendations and prices, and save the inspection video.
Give both to your AI and ask it to compare each recommended repair with what the video actually shows.
Have it check each repair against the maker's maintenance schedule for your car and mileage, and explain what happens if you wait.
Ask it to check the paperwork (plate, VIN, mileage) for mismatches.
For anything that may be needed, get a second opinion and a same-scope quote from another well-reviewed shop before you approve work.
Dave Plummer, the former Microsoft engineer behind Windows Task Manager, asked ChatGPT to optimize a memcpy they wrote for the Motorola 68000.
Make this routine faster without changing its behavior.
Target: [CPU or runtime, e.g. MC68000, x86-64, Node 22]
Routine:
[paste code with its comments]
1. Explain where the time goes now, with cycle counts or cost estimates per loop.
2. Propose a faster version and show the same math for it.
3. Give the speedup for small, medium and large inputs, and list any cases where the new version is slower or uses more memory or code space.
4. Write tests covering edge cases (empty input, odd alignment, boundaries) that I can run on both versions.
5. Say clearly what you calculated versus what would need real measurement.
Steps
Paste the routine with its comments and say which CPU or runtime it targets.
Ask for a faster version and for the cost math (cycles, instructions or benchmarks) for both versions.
Ask it to list the input sizes or cases where the new version is slower.
Ask how it checked correctness, then assemble, test and benchmark it yourself on real hardware.
@DorNoyAI had Claude Code build a friend's tattoo website in a day: 47 commits and about 9,000 lines, with English and Hebrew in one build.
Build a website for [BUSINESS] in [LANGUAGE 1] and [LANGUAGE 2] from one codebase, with a one-tap language switch (use right-to-left layout for [RTL LANGUAGE] if needed). Pages: [PAGES]. The owner must be able to update [CONTENT TYPES] from a phone without code. Set up deploys so a failed build never goes live, and after each deploy fetch the live URL and confirm the page isn't blank.
Steps
Write the site text in both languages first, or have Claude Code draft it for you to review.
Ask for right-to-left layout on the Hebrew (or other RTL) pages.
Set the deploy step to stop if the build fails.
After each deploy, load the live URL on a phone and check it isn't blank.
@AlexFinn had Grok Bot build agentusecases.ai, a directory of real AI-agent use cases, then keep shipping fixes (they report 40+ PRs) while they ran the social side.
Build a small public directory of real AI-agent use cases people can browse for ideas. Ship it, keep fixing bugs via PRs, add a newsletter signup, and draft a sponsor offer with a Stripe payment link — but do not publish the payment link until I approve the copy and price.
Steps
Pick a narrow directory or content niche you can promote.
Have the bot build, deploy and open a PR habit for fixes.
You run social; review what it ships.
Approve any payment link and sponsor copy before going live.
Jeremy Judkins's Grok Bot flagged a mistake on their 2025 tax return on its own: TurboTax was spreading their Cybertruck's remaining basis evenly ($18,910 for year 2).
Review my tax return for missed or inconsistent deductions before I file.
What I have:
- This year's draft return: [attach PDF or export]
- Last year's filed return: [attach PDF]
- Assets I depreciate: [vehicle or equipment, purchase date, cost, business-use %]
- Tax software I use: [name and version]
Do this:
1. For each depreciated asset, compare this year with last year: method, recovery period, convention and remaining basis. Flag any change (for example, a switch from a declining-balance schedule to straight-line) and show the math both ways.
2. Check that nothing is counted twice, such as a vehicle that is depreciated and also claimed under vehicle expenses.
3. List each difference with its dollar effect on my deductions, and say what you're unsure about.
4. Tell me exactly which forms and lines to check or change in my tax software, step by step.
Don't file or change anything. I'll make the edits myself and confirm with a tax professional if the amount is large.
Steps
Give your AI this year's draft return and last year's filed return, plus a list of assets you depreciate (vehicle, equipment) with purchase dates and cost.
Ask it to compare each asset's depreciation method, recovery period and remaining basis across the two years, and show the math for both.
Have it check that nothing is claimed twice, such as a vehicle that is both depreciated and listed under vehicle expenses.
Ask for the forms and lines to change in your tax software, step by step.
Make the edits yourself and check them with IRS instructions or a tax professional before you file.
@glenntkim noticed a recurring subscription charge on their card while driving.
A recurring charge from [MERCHANT] for [AMOUNT] hit my card on [DATE].
1. Search my email for the original purchase or signup receipt and any renewal notice. Show me what you found.
2. Tell me how to cancel. Cancel only after I say yes.
3. Draft a short, polite request for a refund of this renewal that cites the receipt and the date I cancelled. Show me the draft and wait for my approval before sending.
Steps
Tell the bot the merchant, amount and date of the charge.
Have it find the original receipt and renewal notice in your email.
Approve the cancellation.
Approve the refund-request draft before it is sent.
@xenappblog's Grok Bot couldn't phone the bank to dispute a merchant charge, so it found LetterStream's Print & Send service and mailed a dispute letter; the author says they paid $2 to get $50 back.
I want to dispute a charge: [MERCHANT], [DATE], [AMOUNT] on my [CARD ISSUER] card. Reason: [WHY]. Find the issuer's official mailing address for billing disputes and draft a dispute letter with the charge details, what I already tried with the merchant, and a list of attached evidence. Use only the last 4 digits of my card. Show me the letter and the print-and-mail cost before sending. After it's sent, watch my inbox for the issuer's reply and remind me of any deadline.
Steps
Collect the receipt, charge date and any messages with the merchant.
Ask the bot for the issuer's official dispute mailing address, not a guess.
Review the letter: last 4 card digits only, clear reason, list of enclosures.
Keep the mailing receipt and let the bot flag the issuer's reply.
@pablo9alexander had Grok Bot help build a pair of Troels speakers: it dug up the original plans, redrew every panel for 22mm MDF with compound bevels, built a 3D model to check the fit.
Help me build [SPEAKER PLAN NAME] in [THICKNESS]mm MDF. 1) Find the original panel drawings. 2) Redraw every panel for that thickness, including compound bevels. 3) Build a 3D model and list any collisions. 4) Write CNC files and run accuracy checks; report how many checks passed/failed. 5) Draft quote emails to CNC shops — do not send until I approve. Be very careful; stop and ask if anything is unclear.
Steps
Name the exact plan set and the sheet thickness you will cut.
Ask for redrew panels, a 3D model and CNC files with a count of checks run.
Review the accuracy report and cut list yourself.
Approve any emails to CNC shops before they go out.
@melnukoff says Claude Code built a 3D scene and almost every asset in it with Blender and Unreal Engine: it did the modeling, optimized the topology and set-dressed the room on its own.
Build a [SCENE] for Unreal Engine, modeling the assets in Blender. Style references: [REFERENCES]. First list every asset you plan to make with rough sizes and wait for my OK. Use clean, game-ready topology, name every object clearly, then set-dress the scene. Don't add cameras or lighting; I'll do those.
Steps
Collect style references and a list of the props the scene needs.
Ask for an asset list first and approve it before any modeling.
Review topology and scale on a few assets before it builds the rest.
Keep cameras and lighting for yourself, as the author did.
@ifourth's MacBook was lagging with Claude Code running all day across SaaS projects, so they moved Claude Code and all repos onto Grok Bot's cloud PC, use T3 Code to send tasks from Mac or iPhone.
You're my remote coding workstation on Grok Bot.
Setup assumptions:
- Claude Code CLI is installed on this machine.
- My repos live here under ~/projects.
- I send tasks from Mac or iPhone; keep replies short and phone-friendly.
For each task:
1) Restate the goal in one sentence.
2) Inspect the relevant repo/files.
3) Make the change (or propose a plan if risky).
4) Show the diff summary and how to verify.
5) Stop before git push, deploy, or anything irreversible until I say so.
Current task: [describe].
Steps
Put Claude Code and your project repos on the Grok Bot cloud computer.
Install T3 Code (or similar) on Mac/iPhone to send tasks to that bot.
Restrict access with Tailscale so only your devices connect.
Michael Fenech set up a Grok Bot Chief of Staff with three specialist bots: a Meal Organiser, a Shopper that fills the grocery cart and stops before checkout, and a Cooking Bot.
Set up a food prep team for me: three specialist Bots reporting to you, my Chief of Staff.
Start by asking me for any missing details in my food profile. Show me the proposed Bot descriptions before creating them.
MY FOOD PROFILE
Diet: [my diet or dietary goals].
Servings: [how many people each meal should feed].
Never include: [allergies, intolerances and disliked foods].
Preferences: [cooking time, budget and ingredient preferences].
Grocery store: [Add store link].
Meal bank: [6–10 meals I like, or ask me and suggest some].
Save my confirmed profile for future use.
1 - MEAL ORGANISER
When I tell you how many days and which meals, build a plan from my meal bank.
Follow my food profile. Ask about ingredients I already have so we can avoid buying them again.
Return the meal plan and one combined shopping list with quantities matched to the number of servings. Include any extras I request.
Wait for my approval before handing the list to the Shopper.
2 - SHOPPER
After I approve the plan, open my grocery store's website and fill the cart with the approved shopping list.
Pick sensible pack sizes. Check the existing cart before adding items to avoid duplicates.
For out-of-stock items, choose the closest suitable match within my food profile. Flag anything uncertain rather than guessing, especially where an allergy or dietary restriction is involved.
Stop before checkout. Never choose a delivery slot, place the order or pay.
Return the cart total, substitutions and anything you couldn't find. I will review the cart and check out myself.
3 - COOKING
When I name a meal from the plan, give me simple cooking instructions using the ingredients we selected, including any approved substitutions.
Include preparation time, cooking time, quantities and steps in order. Explain when to start each component so everything finishes together.
Keep the recipe within my agreed cooking-time preference. Flag any extra preparation needed in advance.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
I tell you:
'Plan 3 days of lunch and dinner, plus these extras: [items].'
You get the Meal Organiser to draft the plan and show it to me.
After my approval, send the shopping list to the Shopper.
Report back when the cart is ready, including anything that needs my attention.
When I ask what to cook, use the current plan and get the Cooking Bot to guide me.
For the initial grocery-store connection, open the website and let me complete the login myself.
Confirm which Bots are created and whether the store is accessible. Tell me if any setup step remains incomplete.
Steps
Ask Grok Bot (as Chief of Staff) to create three specialist bots: Meal Organiser, Shopper, and Cooking Bot, and to show their descriptions before creating them.
Fill in your food profile: diet, servings, never-include list, preferences, grocery-store link, and a meal bank of 6–10 meals.
Tell the Chief of Staff how many days of lunch and dinner to plan (plus extras); approve the Meal Organiser's plan and shopping list.
Let the Shopper fill the cart and stop before checkout; review substitutions, then check out yourself.
When cooking, name a meal from the plan and get step-by-step instructions from the Cooking Bot.
@MichaelWSpike uploaded a property survey to Claude.
Here is my property survey [FILE]. Add a grid where each square is one acre. I keep [NUMBER] [ANIMALS] and want centralized water with walking lanes into each tank. Draft paddock lines and lanes, then build an interactive page where I can drag each water tank and see walking distances recalculate. List every assumption you made about scale and boundaries.
Steps
Use a survey with a scale bar so distances can be checked.
Tell Claude your herd size, soil and how often you move animals.
Ask it to list every assumption about scale and boundaries.
Walk the land and check the lines before you buy fencing or dig.
@Texas_Twins_Dad has Grok Bot connected to finance, email and coding.
Give me a voice brief: (1) unread emails that need a reply today, sender and one-line subject only; (2) status of [APP/REPO] — open PRs, failing checks, blockers. Do not read full bodies or send anything. Keep it under 60 seconds.
Steps
Limit connectors to mail and code status you are fine querying aloud.
Ask for a 30-second brief, not full message bodies.
@RubeBuilds's wife liked the Strong app but wanted different features plus routines pulled from Reddit. @RubeBuilds built their wife a workout app with Claude Code, plus some Cursor and Codex.
Build a simple workout app for [NAME] who currently uses Strong but wants [FEATURES] and templates inspired by these Reddit routines: [LINKS]. Include Start workout, templates, history and exercises. Keep it offline-friendly. Do not invent medical advice.
Steps
Write the feature gap versus the current app.
Scaffold start/history/exercises first.
Curate any imported routines before they appear as templates.
Have the real user run a week of sessions and note friction.
@thorgeirgisli cancelled Adobe and asked AI to edit a whole video.
Edit this video folder into a FilmCraft project. Cut to the story, level the audio, fix mic channel issues, write captions, and add simple motion graphics. Save the FilmCraft project so I can review every change. Do not export a final file until I say so.
Steps
Put the raw clips in a folder Claude Code can read.
Ask for cut, audio fix, captions and motion graphics in FilmCraft format.
Open the project in FilmCraft and scrub every section.
While lifting, Jakob Lind used Grok Bot on their phone to prep an interview, buy car items, send emails.
Here is my to-do list for today: [list]. For each item, tell me what you can do now and do it after I approve. Then go through my email and give me a table of every ongoing thread: who, status, and whether it needs a follow-up from me. Draft replies for the ones that do, but don't send anything until I say so.
Steps
Dictate your whole to-do list to the agent while your hands are busy.
Ask for an overview of every ongoing email thread: status and whether it needs a follow-up.
Let it draft the emails and prepare purchases; approve each send and buy yourself.
Use a voice call for longer prep work, such as interview practice.
@AdamLowisz's Grok Bot chief-of-staff noticed a hanging weekly routine ("X Top 100 Fans Weekly"), restarted it from where it stopped.
You are my chief of staff for bot routines. If [ROUTINE] hangs or stops without an error, restart it from the last checkpoint, tell me why it stalled in plain language, and propose a smaller resumable split only if the same stall repeats. Do not invent new routines or raise spend caps without asking.
Steps
List which routines a chief-of-staff bot may restart.
Require a diagnosis when a run stalls without an error.
Approve any rewrite that splits long steps into resumable chunks.
Keep spend caps so a restart cannot burn unlimited credits.
@Ortix008 says their Grok Bot filed an LLC end to end: it filled state forms, chose the options they wanted, kept their home address private, and stopped at payment so they only tapped pay.
Help me form an LLC in [STATE] named [NAME]. Prefer a registered agent that keeps my home address off the public record. Fill the official forms from my answers, show every field before submit, and stop at payment so I tap pay myself. Do not invent legal advice; link the official checklist.
Steps
List legal name, state, members and registered-agent preference.
Require a field-by-field preview before any submit.
Check name availability on the official site yourself.
Approve the payment step only after you read the summary.
@weird_ceo says Booking.com Flights / Gotogate held a $1,373.97 China Eastern refund for weeks after a schedule change.
I booked flights via [SELLER] on [DATE] for [AMOUNT]. The airline changed the schedule on [DATE]; the seller confirmed a full refund in writing on [DATE] but has not paid. Build a dated timeline from my emails, draft one final escalation, and if they miss their own deadline prepare a bank-dispute summary I can file. Do not send anything until I approve.
Steps
Export the booking, change notice and seller replies into one folder.
Have the bot build a dated timeline and a final demand email.
If ignored past the seller's stated refund window, have it draft a dispute summary.
You submit the dispute; never share full card numbers in chat.
Daniel Lockyer had Grok Bot research something they wanted to buy online.
Research this purchase for me before I buy: [product, model and size].
Where I live: [country or region]. Budget: [max price].
1. Search sellers that ship to me. Rank the options in a table by total cost (price + shipping), delivery time, return policy and how trustworthy the seller looks (reviews, official retailer or not).
2. Skip listings that look like fakes or grey imports and say why.
3. Track the prices for the next [number] days and tell me if they change by day of the week.
4. On [day and time], send me the latest prices and a purchase link for the best option.
Don't buy anything. I'll make the purchase myself.
Steps
Tell Grok Bot exactly what you want to buy and where you live.
Ask for a ranked table of sellers by cost, shipping, returns policy and trustworthiness.
Have it track prices for a few days and note day-of-week changes.
Ask it to send you the latest prices and a purchase link at a set time.
@MontanaSeptic gave Grok Bot photos of six boxes of books. The bot built cover collages, listed author and title, wrote the sale text, and posted the listing on their FINN.no account.
Here are photos of boxes of used books I want to sell on [MARKETPLACE]. Identify each title and author you can read, build a cover collage, draft listing text with condition notes, and propose prices. Show me the draft before posting to my account. Do not message buyers until I approve.
Steps
Shoot clear photos of spines and covers.
Have the bot list title, author and draft price bands.
@zaneccampbell had Grok Bot take their Read Later queue and email newsletters and custom-build a magazine tailored to them. Video of the magazine UI ("From reading list to magazine") is in the post.
Build me a personal magazine from my Read Later queue and these newsletter labels: [LABELS]. Use a skimmable card layout with title, author and a one-line takeaway. Do not email or publish the issue until I approve. Skip anything that looks like a promo or scam.
Steps
Point the bot at Read Later and the newsletter labels to use.
Ask for a magazine layout with short cards, not raw links.
Approve the first issue before any recurring schedule.
Do not auto-send the issue to others until you review it.
@DerekatQuango used to spend 30–45 minutes a week writing a recap email to one client.
Every [WEEKDAY], draft a weekly recap email for [CLIENT] based only on work you already did or saw this week. Include: what shipped, what is blocked, decisions needed from them, and next week's plan. Send the draft only to me. Do not email the client.
Steps
Point the bot at the project notes, tickets or chats it already uses.
Ask for a weekly draft sent only to you.
Edit facts and tone; never auto-send to the client.
Report on Elon Musk's demo: Grok Bot researched fun LEGO Star Wars kits for young kids, bought five for $241.34 from the LEGO website, and set a routine to watch the inbox for tracking.
Research the 5 most fun [product type] for [who it's for, age]. Show me your picks with prices and why you chose each one before buying anything. After I approve, order from the official store, then watch my inbox and tell me when the tracking email arrives.
Steps
Ask the agent to research the best options for a specific buyer (for example, young kids).
Let it pick items and place the order; the report says it bought from the LEGO website after Amazon blocked the bot.
Ask it to set up a routine that watches your inbox for the tracking email.
GTM research and lead lists in Google Sheets; an assistant that sorts email and runs the calendar; a biz-dev bot with its own phone number that texts leads and books appointments; marketing copy.
You are my GTM research assistant. Research [market/niche], find 25 potential leads that fit [ideal customer], and build a Google Sheet with name, company, role, best outreach channel and a first-draft message for each. Document your sources in a separate tab. Don't contact anyone.
Steps
Split your work into separate bots, each with one job (research, assistant, biz dev, marketing, health).
Have the GTM bot do market research and build a lead spreadsheet with first-draft outreach.

Give the biz-dev bot its own phone number so it can text new leads and book appointments on your calendar.
@BrianRoemmele reports Grok Bot took full control of a carton-box / package printing system: six local AI models monitor the machine and report to the bot, which operates the HMI, PLC.
You are coordinating our flexographic carton print line. Sign into the HMI, job queue and MES the same way an operator does. For each short-run job: propose a layout that minimizes paper and ink waste, show me the plan before any live run, then execute only after I approve. Never override a safety interlock. After the run, report faults, material used and time versus our usual schedule.
Steps
Only try this on machines you already control and with plant safety rules in place.
Let the bot sign into the same software an operator uses; dry-run first.
Approve layouts before live ink hits paper.
Keep a person responsible for safety stops and customer service.
From a phone, Grok Bot researched and booked flights, hotel, and a rental car; built a connector to monitor Claude Code sessions on a Mac; fixed issues in OSS projects; and organized the weekend calendar plus dinner reservations.

A shoulder-pain patient gave the DICOM files from their MRI to Claude Code (Opus 4.8). It read the tendon as intact where the clinic had reported a partial tear, then compared the two readings.
I have an MRI DICOM export in this folder and the radiologist's written report (attached). First make a detailed plan. Install any packages you need. Write an independent report of what you see. Then compare it with the radiologist's report point by point, say how confident you are about each disagreement, and list questions I should ask my doctor. You are not giving medical advice.
Steps
Ask the clinic for a copy of the MRI (DICOM export) and the written results.
In Claude Code, let it install the analysis packages it needs and plan before acting.
Have it write its own report.
Have it compare its report with the radiologist's, using subagents for independent readings.
Jamie Phillis used ChatGPT to read a dental bill. It flagged a screening Phillis didn't consent to, two evaluations billed on the same day, and photos charged at seven times the allowed rate.
Here are my dental/medical bill [paste], my explanation of benefits [paste], notes from my call with the insurer [paste], and the insurer's appeal instructions [paste].
1. Explain each charge in plain English.
2. Flag charges that look wrong: services I didn't consent to, codes that can't be billed together on the same day, amounts above the allowed rate, network problems.
3. Work out what I should owe based on allowed amounts and my coinsurance.
4. Draft an appeal letter that follows the instructions exactly, plus mailing instructions. Mark anything you're unsure about.
Steps
Upload the bill and the explanation of benefits, and ask what each charge is and which ones look wrong.
Call your insurer, transcribe the call, and give the transcript to the assistant.

Jeff Kaufman had let high-school Spanish fade. Using ChatGPT's voice mode, Kaufman spoke more Spanish in one week than in the previous fifteen years.
Let's have a casual conversation only in [language]. My level is [e.g. rusty intermediate]. Speak a little slower than normal, keep your turns short (2-3 sentences), and ask me questions so I do most of the talking. If I use English or make a big mistake, give the correct phrase in one short line, then carry on. Topic to start: [topic].
Steps
Open voice mode and start in the language you're practicing.
Chat about anything. The aim is to get words flowing, not a riveting conversation.
If replies wash over you, ask it to speak more simply. The author found this works best if you already have some fluency.
A developer with spinal muscular atrophy, who can't use a scroll wheel, used Claude Code with the GSD workflow to build Scroll My Mac: a free macOS app that scrolls any area by click-and-drag.

After his brother-in-law died following four hours of emergency care, Matt Rosenberg had Claude look up what Medicare pays for each billing code.
Here is my itemized hospital bill / UB-04 with CPT and revenue codes: [paste]. Location: [city, state]. Date of service: [date]. Insurance status: [uninsured / insurer].
1. Make a table: code, description, amount billed, what Medicare would pay for this code in my area this year, notes.
2. Flag anything that looks unbundled (components billed separately from a comprehensive procedure), mutually exclusive codes billed together, inpatient-only codes on an outpatient visit, or care that the records don't show was given.
3. Show your sources for every rate and rule so I can check them.
4. Draft a polite but firm letter to the billing office that lists each issue and offers to pay [amount] promptly in exchange for a zero balance. Don't send anything.
Steps
Ask the hospital for an itemized bill, then for the UB-04 form (the coded claim it would send to an insurer).
Give the codes to the assistant and ask for a spreadsheet of what Medicare pays for each one, for your state and year.
Ask it to flag unbundled charges, mutually exclusive codes and care that was billed but never given.

After 10 years of gym sessions without progress, Brendan McNulty logged every set to Claude.
Be my strength coach. Me: [age, height, training history, sessions per week, equipment, injuries]. This week, just log what I do. I'll message every set as 'exercise sets x reps @ weight, form X/10, notes'. After a week, assess where I'm underloading, then build a [3]-day split with a clear progression rule (add weight only when all sets are at least 8/10 form). Track my numbers, tell me the target for next session, and change the plan right away if I report pain. Ask me to film a lift when form matters.
Steps
Week 1: train as normal and log every exercise, weight, set and rep. Don't change anything yet.
