Build a three-Bot starter team: Scout, Shopper and Desk

How this helps you

You end up with three working Bots, one for checked research, one for careful shopping and one for a weekly task, each with a clear job.

✦ Try it

Find the [5] biggest stories about [topic] from the past week. Verify each one against the primary source and flag any claim that doesn't hold up. Rank them by [what matters to me], and save a briefing file called [file name] with a one-line hook and the source link for each. Do the checks in Chrome so I can watch.

Fill in: [5]: how many stories. [topic]: your field. [what matters to me]: e.g. video potential, relevance to my clients. [file name]: e.g. briefing.md.

What they did

In a video sponsored by Grok Bot, WorldofAI built three Bots from scratch. Scout got a name and the label AI research scout, then a first job: find the five biggest AI stories of the week, verify each against the primary source, rank them for video potential and save a briefing file. He opened its computer and asked it to check in Chrome so he could watch. In about 4 minutes it saved five ranked stories with hooks and source links, and flagged three claims that didn't hold up. Shopper compared USB-C mics under $150, added the best one to a Best Buy cart and stopped to ask before buying. Desk learned a weekly YouTube stats check through Teach a skill, then turned it into a Monday routine. Finally, a group chat let Scout hand its best idea to Desk for the tracker.

Who it's for: Beginners who want to see what separate Bots with separate jobs can do in one afternoon.

Before you start

Grok Bot on desktop or phone.
For Desk: one repeatable task you can do in a browser in a few minutes.

How to try it

Click New, then Create new Bot. In the details panel give it a name (Scout) and a label (AI research scout).
Give Scout the prompt below. Open its computer to watch it check each source.
Create Shopper the same way. Ask it to compare the top three options under [budget], add the best to the cart, then stop before checkout.
Create Desk. In the plus menu choose Teach a skill, click Start recording, do the task once, then stop. Open the saved skill and edit anything it got wrong.
Run the skill with / and, when it works, ask Desk to make it a weekly routine. Use Test to try it now.
Optional: start a group chat with Scout and Desk and ask Scout to pass its best idea to Desk.

What to expect

A ranked list with a hook and a link per story, saved as a file, plus a note on any claims it couldn't confirm. Shopper ends with a comparison table and a 'Do you want me to buy it?' question.

Common mistakes

Letting a shopping Bot finish the purchase. Keep 'stop before checkout' in the task; buying stays behind your approval.
Writing long instructions for a routine task you could simply show it once with Teach a skill.
Not reading the saved skill. Desk added its own rule (copy numbers exactly, never estimate); check it matches what you want.
