11 Grok Bot Use Cases That Feel Like Cheating
565 segments
I've been using Grockbot every day since
it came out, and it feels more personal
and more capable than any other agent
that I've used. And to be honest, I
wasn't expecting it. The UI is built to
give every bot the feeling of a
persistent character rather than a
thread that you can just throw away. And
I really like it. So, in this video, I'm
going to show you all of the incredible
use cases that I'm using Grockbot for.
Plus, I'm going to show you some of the
best practices that I've learned in how
to get the most out of Grockbot. So,
let's get right into the first use case.
Email management. If you get a ton of
email like me, if you have multiple
email addresses like me, you probably
spend so much time trying to get to
inbox zero. And now it's much easier
with Grockbot. I have a specific bot
agent that I called the email agent. And
every single day at 7:30 a.m., it looks
through all of my emails from overnight
and from the day before, any that are
left over. And the first thing it does
is look for emails that can be easily
archived without me having to look at
it. I have dozens of emails that are
just, you know, like one-off
notifications and things that I don't
really need to pay attention to. And so
it puts those together for me and ask me
if I want to archive them. So here it
says overnight leftovers that look easy
to archive. 14 out of office auto
replies from my newsletter that goes out
and then it gives me a bunch of other
emails that look like they don't need my
attention directly. It gives me a little
button I can push. I click that and it
autoarchchives it. Now, to actually
accomplish this, you're going to go into
plugins and you're just going to make
sure your Gmail plugin is added. You
click add. A little prompt is going to
pop up in the thread just asking you to
connect. You click the button, you
authorize Gmail, and you're done. It now
has access to read your Gmail, add
labels, draft replies, archive
everything. Then what I ask it to do is
after those easily archable emails, I
ask it to look for kind of the loweffort
ones that I need to actually pay
attention to and it'll batch them
together. These are emails that I
actually need to look at or get some
information from, but I don't
necessarily need to reply to them. I
don't need to spend a bunch of time on
them. And so I have to blur these out
because these are my personal emails.
But that's what is showing right here.
It's just a few sentence summary of a
number of different emails all batched
together. I can take a very quick look,
understand it, and then just say
archive. And the cool thing is Grockbot
will actually learn over time and you
can tell it, hey, anytime you get an
email like this, go ahead, don't even
ask me. You can archive it or put it in
kind of the lowest effort email review
batch. Now, once I'm done with that, the
way that I get through the rest of my
emails is super interesting. I have it
go through each one that requires my
attention, requires some kind of action,
and I have it read all of the context.
So, that's not only the current thread,
but previous interactions with the
person, and basically summarize the
whole thing and try to suggest what the
next action could be, whether that's a
reply or whether it just needs me to
make a decision on something. And it
actually does this incredibly well. And
again, the more context you give
Grockbot, the better it can help assess
each of these emails. For example, I
connected HubSpot. I gave it access to
my Google Drive where I take notes and I
store contracts and everything like
that. And now Grockbot knows to go check
those different sources. And then it
will better understand what actions it
should suggest for me on each individual
email. And that's how I do it. And a lot
of times it's actually just writing an
email for me, which is quite nice. And
it sounds like me too, which is also
quite nice. So with all of this, I'm
able to get through my email much more
quickly than I would otherwise. And I do
get a lot of emails. So this is a really
big timesaver for me, and it can be for
you as well. I have a prompt that you
can give to your Grockbot to accomplish
this exact workflow. I'm going to drop
that and all of the other use cases that
we're going over today down below. Next
is email classification. Not only do I
want help triaging my emails, but I want
Grockbox to actually label my emails to
help me sort through them and categorize
them for later. And so I make YouTube
videos. I get a lot of sponsorship
emails. And I do get a lot of spammy
sponsorship emails. And so I actually
have Grockbot give a score to each of
those sponsorship emails. And so I can
see the spammy ones automatically
archive those. And then for the rest,
it's basically like a lead scoring
system. And I did build this lead score
heristic up over time with OpenClaw, but
I basically just took that scoring
system and then put it in Grockbot and
now it just works. And so you might need
to work with Grockbot or whatever agent
you're using to help come up with that
scoring system, but you can do that too.
And not only just scoring for sponsors,
but you can label any types of emails.
So I get emails from PR companies. I can
easily just label those. I have internal
ops and about a dozen different labels
that I use, which again is just super
helpful if I ever want to say, "Okay,
give me all of the highquality sponsor
emails that have come through. Show it
to me." It can easily do that now. And
so you can see I have this set up as a
routine. And you don't need to set this
up manually. You can literally just tell
your Grockbot to set up a routine. And I
have it set up to run every day during
the week, every 30 minutes between 8:00
a.m. and 7:00 p.m. So it's not just
burning tokens when I don't really need
it. It'll do a batch job first thing in
the morning. So you can see all the
different runs down here. Another one of
my favorite use cases is actually
allowing Grockbot to publish things to
the internet really easily. so I can
share them with my team or with clients
or with you all. Here is sponsoring this
video. I love their product. I use it
all the time. In fact, I actually don't
use it. My agent uses it all the time
and it just knows anytime I need to
publish anything, it will use here. Now
automatically, they actually have a
native plugin now. So, if you just
search for here now in the plugins list,
here it is. I've actually had the skill
installed. So, I'm going to install the
here. now plug in the native one right
now. And just like that, you're live.
That's as easy as it gets. And so when
you need to publish something, it will
give you back a public or private URL
within seconds of needing to publish
something. So you can see right here, I
published this little picture of the 3D
boat that I printed. I said, "Publish
this." It did it. And then it dropped a
link right here. Here. Now is completely
free. You can publish almost anything to
it. And you don't even need an account.
And in fact, I'm going to publish all of
the prompts that I go over in this video
using here. Now, and I'm going to drop a
link down below for that. Thanks again
to here. Now, huge fan. Go install here.
Now right now into Grockbot. All right.
Next is calendar management. Another one
of those things that you'll save a few
seconds here and there, but over the
course of a year, this really starts to
add up. And so, all this bot does is
it's a bot to interact with my multiple
calendars. It knows about my calendars.
it has authenticated into my calendars.
I don't usually interact directly with
my calendar bot. I'm usually talking to
my chief of staff who will then delegate
it out to the calendar bot. But I will
explain the chief of staff later. But
all you need to know is I use this for a
lot of really cool use cases. And so I
use this to help me negotiate meeting
times. So if I have somebody emailing me
who wants to meet, I don't have to go
manually look through my calendar and go
back and forth with them. I simply have
my calendar bot do that. It checks
automatically for overlapping meetings
and helps me reschedule if I ever have
that. And honestly, I get a lot of
emails that have multiple calendar dates
in them. And all I do is have Grock
check the email and then create calendar
events for everything in that email.
Super useful. And again, the way I want
you to think about Grockbot and each of
these bots is they should kind of have
one [clears throat] main task. All
right. And next is browser use. Don't
forget Grockbot has incredible browser
use and it all runs in the cloud. I'll
touch on the cloud aspect of Grockbot a
little bit later in the video, but just
remember anything that you can do in a
browser, Grockbot can do for you. And so
a few things that I use browser use for
are well first shopping on Amazon. I'll
just tell it to go find me something.
And it's kind of interesting if you
remember back, Amazon actually sued
Perplexity because they said Perplexity
agents should not be able to browse
Amazon and the judge threw it out. So
now agents can freely use Amazon. And
that's what we're going to be doing with
Grockbot. So right now I have it
searching for a 45B tungsten cube, which
Brian recommended. And if I actually
open up the computer use right here, you
can see it's a mere $20,000. All right,
so here we go. Closest thing on Amazon
is the 4-in tungsten cube from Midwest
Tungsten Service. Shout out Midwest
Tungsten Service. Listed at $20,000
in stock. Hey, I can get it within a
week. So there we go. And it's really
easy. It can find anything for you. It
can even complete the purchase once you
sign in with Amazon. And to do that, you
just go to the browser right here and
you click sign in, right? Just sign in
like normal. It works just like it would
in your own browser. And once you do it
once, it's going to persist. So you
don't need to always sign in each time
you want to use it. You can have it put
together grocery lists for you. You can
have it register your car at the DMV.
All of these tedious tasks that require
you clicking through websites that might
take just, you know, 10 minutes, 20
minutes each. You save so much time by
just having your bot do it for you. One
of my favorite use cases is having my
Grockbot return Amazon items for me. So
rather than clicking through the whole
return flow, it just goes and does it
for me and gives me the QR code for it.
It can book you gym times. It can book
you doctor's appointments. I'm telling
you, it really is incredible and it
saves a lot of time. All right, next.
And this came directly from the cursor
team. They told me about this. You
should actually be using Grockbot as
your coding agent, which kind of sounds
weird, but it makes sense once you
understand the logic. And so, here's the
gist of how it works. You have your
coding agent in Grockbot. It has all of
this context about you, how you like to
work, and it can actually call the
cursor agent CLI directly from Grockbot.
And again, the Cursor team told me, the
engineers at Cursor told me this is how
they're using Grockbot today. And so the
way that they told me they're doing
this, and I haven't done it myself yet,
but I want to explain how they told me.
They said they're creating a new bot for
every project that they're working on
and even bots for the work streams. So
if you have multiple work streams within
a single project, you want to create a
Grockbot for each of those. Then they
actually initiate it from Slack. So they
all chat in Slack and they will actually
kick off different tasks to Grockbot
which then delegates to the cursor CLI
all from Slack. And again it has access
to notion. It has access to email,
Slack, GitHub, everything it needs. And
it can actually collect and persist that
context apparently better than cursor
can directly. Then if they need to
generate more notion docs or plans or
anything, they do that straight from
Grockbot. It can kick off cloud agents,
cursor cloud agents directly from
Grockbot. Grockbot will follow up with
those cursor cloud agents and make sure
that it's working and it completes the
task end to end. And so an example of
kind of the endto-end workflow, also
maybe known as a loop, the Grockbot will
look at a PR and if the CI isn't green,
it will continue to follow up and fix it
until it is. And it just knows continue
doing it until you get a green CI so
that we can merge. And so instead of
seeing all of the context, all of the
text really that you usually get in
cursor, you get very brief summaries in
Grockbot. And you can always ask for
more detail because it is technically
just cursor running within Grockbot. It
is very interesting. And next, if this
sounds like a joke, I am actually
serious. I have Grockbot ordering food
for me from Door Dash. Door Dash
announced its CLI product a few months
ago, and there is a wait list for it.
So, if you don't have access to it yet,
go sign up for the wait list. I'm still
on the wait list, so I haven't actually
done this myself, but I know a lot of
other people who have. And basically
what they're doing is they're allowing
their bot to order food for them. Now,
you can do this through browser control
with Grockbot today, even if you don't
have access to the CLI. It's just a lot
slower. And so, I just typed open Door
Dash and order me a sandwich any from
Mendescino Farms. And you can see I
already set up my Grockbot to use the
CLI. I'm just waiting to get access to
it. but it knew, okay, you don't have
the CLI yet. So, I'm opening Door Dash
in the browser instead. And so, in a
second, we're going to see the browser
open. It's going to navigate. Here we
go. You can see it already. It's going
to navigate to Door Dash. It's going to
look for Menescino Farms. And there it
is. It's going to order me a sandwich
and get it ready. Once I sign in, once I
give it my address, it will have all the
information, and I'll just be able to
order it with a quick voice note or with
a quick prompt. It's so easy. All right.
Next, this is another one of those super
powerful use cases that I use every
single day, multiple times a day. This
is the meeting summary workflow. And
basically how it works is I have the
Fathom notetaker join all of my
meetings. And so it will record the
meeting. It will then transcribe the
meeting. I've connected it to Grockbot.
Grockbot every 30 minutes will check
Fathom's API to see if a new meeting has
been recorded. It will then ingest the
transcript. It'll write a summary of the
meeting. It will write up action items.
So, it will detect different things that
I committed to during the meeting or
that the other person in the meeting
committed to me. It will write those up
and then it will send that to me either
in Grockbot, it can send it to you in
Slack. And I've even hooked up Telegram,
which I'll show you in a moment. And
then the next thing, and I haven't done
this yet, but I think this is really
going to unlock the power of Grockbot.
I'm actually going to have it look at my
list of to-do items, look at all the
context it has about me, and try to
figure out if it can actually go
accomplish one of those items for me
without me doing anything. And don't
forget, during the meeting, you can
actually talk to Grockbot. I know it
might sound a little awkward if you're
meeting somebody for the first time, but
certainly if you're talking to your
team, you can just say like, "Oh, hey
Grockbot, don't forget to remind us to
email that person next week or anything
like that, and it will read that
transcript." And remember to have action
items that you specifically told
Grockbot to do. So, this is probably
between email triage and the meeting
summary. These are my two favorite, two
most powerful use cases that I do with
Grockbot today. Okay, so this next one
isn't really a use case. It's more how I
use Grockbot. And I set up a bot called
Chief of Staff. And let me show it to
you. So I have Chief of Staff as a
pinned bot. And if you want to pin any
of these, you basically just rightclick
and then click this pin button right
here. And then it's going to show up in
the top anytime that you need it. And so
I have this chief of staff that I
basically use as my main bot that I
communicate with mostly. So, if I'm
using the desktop application of
Grockbot, I'll probably click into one
of these individual bots, but sometimes
I just use Chief of Staff directly.
However, if I have Grockbot plugged into
anywhere else like Slack or Telegram, I
am only communicating through my chief
of staff. My chief of staff can then
delegate to any other bot that it needs
to. So, I can tell my chief of staff,
order me dinner for tonight. It will
delegate out to my food bot. I can say,
"Hey, let's triage the emails." It will
communicate directly with my email
triage bot, but I'll communicate
entirely through the chief of staff. It
is really neat. And so, this is just a
workflow that I use, but you can figure
out if you like it or not. So, the next
pin bot that I use, and really the only
other pinned bot that I use is the
personal bot. I really tried to separate
out my work life and my personal life,
and that's how I did it. chief of staff
is everything workrelated, but if it's
anything to do with my personal life, I
talk to my personal bot for that. All
right, the next one, and this is a kind
of a sub agent or a subbot of my
personal bot. This is the schoolbot. And
again, this is another one of those
super high-V value use cases. If you're
a parent, you know how many emails you
get from your kids' school. It seems
like a huge essay every other day with
calendar events and things I need to
bring and remember and it's so
overwhelming. I now have a schoolbot to
manage it all for me. It scans my
personal email inbox once a day at 700
p.m. It looks for emails from my kids
schools. It will look for important
information in them that I definitely
need to know. It will quickly summarize
the rest of the email and then it will
send me a message in Telegram or in
Grockbot and it will even look for
calendar events that I need to know. It
will create a calendar event. It will
invite my wife to it and it all happens
automatically now. And so instead of
reading through these massive emails
once every other day from my kids
schools, I now just have Grockbot doing
it for me. All right. Next is a very
practical bot that I just started using.
It is called computer cleanup and it is
exactly what it sounds like. Grockbot
not only is a cloud-based agent, but it
also has access to your computer. And so
here's what I do. So I basically told it
to look through all of the files on my
computer. Look for any that it thinks
that I should delete. Don't actually
delete it. This is really important. I
told it do not delete anything. and
categorize everything that it thinks I
should delete into low risk, medium
risk, and high- risk. And so, I'm going
to create a routine to run this once a
week. So, I'll call it weekly cleanup.
And I'll run it every week. And there we
go. It's done. And so, every week, it's
going to look through all of the files
on my computer and just keep my hard
drive clean, which is very nice. Here's
a few things. So, here's 90 GB it found
that is low risk. 26 GB of cache. 17 GB
of superhuman cache. Here's cursor with
a copy of my database locally. More
cache, npm, unused docker images. It's
all here and I can just say go ahead and
delete it. Then we have some medium risk
380 gigabytes. I have 100 gigabytes of
work trees which is nuts. And so then it
just asks me if I want to delete some of
them and I can go through it with
Grockbot together. very very useful to
keep your computer clean. All right, so
next, if you use OpenClaw, if you use
Hermes, you've probably grown to like
doing that through Telegram, and I
definitely have. Now, Grockbot today has
an iOS app, but it does not have an
Android app, which you know, fine. The
Android app, I have heard, is coming
soon, but if you want it in Telegram,
it's not built in natively. It's not
that hard to set up, but it isn't done
natively. So you do have to set that up
manually. Now once again I've created a
prompt. You can just copy paste it
directly into your Grockbot. It will set
it up exactly how you need it. Once you
copy paste this prompt into Grockbot. It
will walk you through what you need to
do in Telegram. All you need to do is
open up what's called the bot father.
It's a contact that is in everyone's
Telegram. You create a new bot. You give
it a name. It gives you the bot token.
And then you give that token to
Grockbot. It sets up everything for you.
It works quite well. It just took a few
minutes of massaging to get it to work
for me. But all of the issues that I ran
into, I have solved and it is included
in the prompts that I'm going to give
you down below. And so now I can access
my chief of staff Grockbot anywhere that
I am from Telegram really easily. Plus,
if you're on the go, you can drop a
voice note in your Grockbot Telegram and
it'll behave just like a voice note to
any assistant. it'll just work. So, here
are my thoughts on Grockbot as a whole.
One, it is a bridge between just asking
Q&A with chat GPT, so you're just asking
a question, getting an answer, and more
complicated coding agents like Codeex
and Claude Code. If you're not technical
and you don't want to think about using
some of these coding agents, Grockbot is
such a nice middle ground. It really
simplifies the interface. A lot of the
stuff just works. Sometimes it gets a
little bit complicated, but for the most
part it does just work. So, it is very
powerful and I've been really pleased
with it. It is definitely a big part of
my daily workflow. Now, I reviewed
Grockbot in full. Go check out that
video right
Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.
The video highlights the powerful capabilities of Grockbot as a personal assistant by sharing various practical use cases. The creator demonstrates how to automate daily tasks such as email management, calendar coordination, browser-based shopping and administrative work, coding assistance, and even school-related communications. Additionally, the video provides insights on how to set up specialized bots like a 'Chief of Staff' for delegation and integration with platforms like Telegram, emphasizing that Grockbot acts as a versatile bridge between simple chatbots and advanced coding agents.
