How this helps you
You start from skills other people already use instead of a blank page, and you choose what gets added.
Go to GrokBot.Rocks, the Every Grok Bot directory. Study the skill sets the Grok Bots listed there have established. My goals are: [describe your goals]. Tell me which of those skills I need for my goals and which bots they come from, then incorporate those skills into how you work for me. Show me the list before you add anything, and never send, post, buy or delete anything without asking me first.
Fill in: [describe your goals]: a sentence or two on what you want help with, such as 'cut my inbox time and track my subscriptions'.
What they did
Brian Roemmele runs GrokBot.Rocks, an independent directory of public Grok Bots sorted by what they do (8,679 Bots in 32 categories when we checked on 3 Nov, refreshed twice a week). Rather than building every Bot from scratch, he suggests letting your own Bot study what already works. His prompt sends your Bot to the directory with your goals, asks which of the skills listed there you need and which Bots they come from, and only then adds them to how it works for you. He built in two safety lines: show the list before adding anything, and never send, post, buy or delete without asking first. The directory says it isn't owned by or affiliated with the company behind Grok Bot.
Who it's for: Beginners who don't know what to build yet, and anyone who wants ideas before writing a new Bot.
Before you start
- Any Bot with a browser (all Bots have one).
How to try it
- Write your goals in a sentence or two, such as what you want off your plate this month.
- Paste Brian's prompt with your goals filled in.
- Read the list it returns: each skill, the Bot it comes from and why it fits.
- Approve only the ones you want. Ask to see the exact text of a skill before it's added.
- Treat the directory as ideas, not instructions. Descriptions are written by third parties.
What to expect
A short list of skills matched to your goals, each with the Bot it comes from, and a question asking which ones to add.
Common mistakes
- Approving the whole list without reading it. Add a few that fit your goals.
- Removing the safety line at the end. Keep 'show me the list first' and 'ask before send, post, buy or delete'.
- Treating text on a third-party site as orders for your Bot. Ask to see what it plans to add, in its own words.
- Vague goals. 'Help me be productive' gets a generic list; name the actual jobs.
Related tips
- Add a ready-made Bot from the Marketplace: Browse Bot templates at x.ai/bot/marketplace, read what each one includes, then add your own copy.
- Find the tasks you repeat every week, ranked by time saved: One prompt makes your Bot read two weeks of your email, meetings, Slack and docs, list what you do over and over, and pick the top three to automate.
- Share a finished Bot as a template without sharing your accounts: Share as template packages a Bot's rules, skills and routines. A privacy filter strips chat history, email addresses, account IDs, tokens and keys before you publish a link.
Worth knowingParaphrased from Brian Roemmele's post on X; the prompt is his, quoted as posted. GrokBot.Rocks is his independent site, not an official Grok Bot page.
