I let an AI run my startup for a week
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. Bots fixed a customer bug together without him, he managed work from his phone on a 5-hour hike in Wales, and a project-manager bot shipped a secret 4am feature that warns users before declined-submission timeouts.
Try it yourself
What you get
A multi-bot Grok Bot crew that handles support email, code fixes, security monitoring and marketing experiments — with you approving sensitive actions.
Tools
- Grok Bot
- Gmail
- Cloudflare
- PromptBase (author's product)
Steps
- Create specialized bots: support (email), engineer (code), security (logs/Cloudflare), marketing (growth goal).
- Connect the accounts each bot needs; keep send/buy/deploy behind your approval.
- Let bots collaborate on small customer issues while you focus on bigger work.
- Use the phone app when away from a keyboard; review overnight experiments in the morning.
Copy-ready prompt
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.

In their words
Having these bots interact with each other like this is really cool — this is the most interesting thing for me. Trivial things that you sometimes put off (e.g. fixing small bugs, or following up an email) become automatable so you can focus on bigger stuff.
