Grok Bot Setup
Let's hire your first AI team
Grok Bot · Step-by-Step
Hire your first AI team
Grok Bot gives you AI teammates. Real ones: they get their own computer, they sign in to your tools, and they keep working while your laptop is closed.
This guide takes you from nothing to a working bot with a job, one small step per screen.
Your progress saves automatically, so you can stop and pick it back up anytime.
(1)
Step 1 of 9
Download Grok Bot
It's a real app from xAI, the Grok company. It runs on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
Mac: open the downloaded file, drag Grok Bot into Applications, open it. Asked Apple silicon or Intel? Click the menu top left, then About This Mac: if the Chip line says Apple, pick Apple silicon.
3
Windows: run the installer, then open Grok Bot from the Start menu.
On your phone right now? There's an iPhone app too, but set up on a computer first. Everything syncs to your phone after.

Step 2 of 9
Sign in or create an account
Open Grok Bot and click Get started. It opens your browser to sign you in, then sends you right back to the app.
1
Already use X or Cursor? Sign in with that account.
2
Neither? Create a new account with your email and verify it.
Any of those doors leads to the same app.
(3)
Step 3 of 9
Pick your plan
You'll see a screen like this:
The plan screen when I set mine up. Names and prices may shift, the logic below won't.
1
Already pay for Grok, X Premium+, or Cursor? Click Link Grok Account or sign in with that plan. Grok Bot comes with it.
2
Not yet? Start the trial. It asks for a card but doesn't charge it unless you subscribe.
3
Upgrade later, once the trial's limits start slowing your bots down.

Step 4 of 9
Walk the intro screens
Grok Bot shows you around, builds your bots' cloud computer in the background, and asks one question that matters:
The real screen. Tap everything you use.
1
Tap every tool you actually use. The search box finds anything not shown.
Picking tools here just tells Grok Bot what to suggest for you. Hooking them up for real is the next step.
(5)
Step 5 of 9
Connect your tools
Connectors give your bots real access, so the work happens in your actual accounts. Add everything that runs your day: email, calendar, CRM, Slack.
1
In the app, open Settings and find Connectors (some versions tuck it under Plugins).
2
Click Add, pick a tool, and sign in the normal way. Repeat for each one.
3
You can connect more than one account of the same tool. All of my Gmail inboxes are hooked up:
A bot casually handling three inboxes at once.
No connector for something? A bot can open the website on its own computer and use it like a person. When it hits a login, it hands you the screen and you type the password. Bots never ask you to paste passwords into chat.
(6)
Step 6 of 9
Create your first bot
Time to hire.
1
Click New in the sidebar (or press Cmd+N, Ctrl+N on Windows).
2
Choose Create new agent. A bot named New Agent appears.
3
Open Bot actions, then Edit Profile. Name it like an employee and paste this in as its description:
Loading…
The description is the job's permanent rules. Task-by-task instructions go in normal messages, like texting an employee.
(7)
Step 7 of 9
Give it its first task
The best first task looks first and touches nothing. Paste this:
Loading…
1
Connected something other than email? Swap the word email for that tool. The shape is what matters: outcome, sources, constraints, deliverable, then wait for review.
2
If it needs a login mid-task, it hands you the screen. Type it in, hand it back.
Read the report it brings back. That's you checking your new hire's judgment before giving it real power.

Jobs worth hiring for
One bot, one job. Steal these:
📥
Inbox KeeperCleans the mess across every account you connected and flags the few things that need a human.
🔎
Social ScoutWatches X and the feeds for what's blowing up in your niche, then drops you a short daily digest.
📋
Meeting PrepReads your calendar and hands you a one-page brief on every person you're about to meet.
❤️
Client HealthWatches your CRM, billing, and support threads, then ranks who's at risk and who's ready for more.
🌐
Browser GruntThe tedious web work: portal forms, status checks, pulling info from sites with no export button.

Step 9 of 9
Put a manager on it
Bots talk to each other like coworkers. Drop a few in one group chat and they pass work between themselves while you watch.
Every bot gets a name and one job.
1
Once you have three or four, create one more bot: the manager. Its whole job is to run the others and bring you one report.
2
Show any bot a task once and it saves the steps as a routine, then reruns it on a schedule without you.
You can have up to 50 bots. You won't need 50. You need three good ones and a manager.
