Grok Bot Is Now Only $20 - Here Are 9 Wild Use Cases
417 segments
Grockbot is so powerful and so simple
that using it is such a delight because
anything you throw at it, it just does.
The more I use it, the more I'm blown
away by what it can do. So, in this
video, I'm going to show you five of the
wildest ways I've been using Grockbot,
plus how you can set up your own team of
bots. A quick heads up before we get
started. This video is sponsored by
SpaceX, the company behind Grockbot. But
this video is not a review. It's a deep
dive into the bots that I use and how I
set them up. So, if that's cool with
you, let's get into it. To get started,
come over to x.ai/bot
to download Grockbot for your desktop.
When I first covered Grockbot on my
channel, a lot of comments said the same
thing. It looks great, but at $200 a
month, it is way too expensive. Well,
the team behind Grockbot listened
because now it starts at just $20 a
month. And if you're already on an
eligible cursor, Super Grock, or Teams
plan, Grockbot is included. After
downloading the app for the first time,
you'll want to set up your bots. You'll
see all of mine over here on the left.
We'll get to some of those in a moment,
but first, let me show you how to create
your first bot. To do that, click on the
top here where there's this plus icon
and then select new bot. That will open
up a new thread and you can select at
the top where it says create new bot.
The first bot I suggest you set up is
your chief of staff or delegator bot.
This is the bot that is going to be your
main point of contact and will then
delegate tasks to the other bots. What's
cool about creating bots in Grockbot is
that you set them up just by having a
conversation. And you can see that
already happening right here. The bot
said hide me and said what do you
actually want to use me for? And it
gives me a few choices or I can type in
my own. I suggest you tell this first
bot something like this. I want you to
be my main point of contact. I'll send
you tasks and then have you delegate
them to the other bots. Next, you have
to pick a name for your bot. And this is
where I've had a lot of fun with my
bots. You can see I've given each of
them a unique name that represents what
role they fill in my business and in my
personal life. So, my chief of staff or
delegator bot I've named chief. So, you
can steal that if you want. Name it
chief. Chief of Staff, Delegator Debbie,
something like that. For this example,
I'm going to call this one Captain. If
you have a favorite television show,
book, or movie, you can name all of your
bots after characters in that. What you
can also do is give each of your bots a
unique image. So, the default images
look like this. There are these blobs of
color. And if you click on the name of
your bot on the top, you'll see over
here on the right your settings. So, you
can come in here and change the way that
your bot looks. You can update its name
and its description. But what I usually
do is if I want to make any changes like
that, I just tell the bot in the chat to
make those changes. And if you'll notice
over here on the left, all of my bots
have actual images that represent who
they are. So, the way I did that was I
just told the bot, create an image for
yourself that represents who you are.
And it's pretty fun watching them come
up with an image for themsel that they
think represents who they are. And there
we go. There's Captain. And if you'll
notice, it not only created the image,
but it also updated its image over here.
So that's its new avatar. And really,
it's that simple. With a lot of other AI
tools, you have to configure API keys,
choose a model, and write system
instructions. Grockbot eliminates all of
that. You just describe the role, answer
a few questions, and the bot is ready.
Let's set up your other bots now so you
can have a team of bots just like I do.
As you're thinking about building out
your team, you should be thinking of
each of your bots as an employee with a
specialized role. So, every time you
need help with contracts, for instance,
you'll always use the same bot for that.
And unlike a lot of other AI tools where
you might have multiple threads that are
related topics, with Grockbot, you
always go to the same bot for the same
topic or task. Like here with the
contracts, I'm going to the same bot
every time I need it to review a
contract for me. It really feels like
you're just messaging an employee on
something like iMessage. So, let me run
you through some of my bots and what
they can do. We'll start with Scribe.
Scribe is in charge of my email inbox,
but also a lot more than that. If you
click on the name of your bot on the
top, that will open up the right side
panel where you can see their name and
description. And you'll see here that I
also give all of my bots a title.
Scribe. I've given the title of email.
That way, when I look at all the bots
over here on the left, I not only see
the name, but I can quickly see what
their role is. Scribe is in charge of
email. Prism is my designer. and
Hemingway is my scriptor. But returning
back to the description over here, you
see that Scribe is in charge of not only
my inbox, but they also manage my entire
content calendar to make sure I release
all my YouTube videos on time. And they
help me negotiate all of my brand deals.
And all of that requires them to have
access to a lot of thirdparty tools,
like Gmail, for instance. What's cool
about that is that in order to give a
bot access to a third-party tool, you
just chat with it and it will tell you
if it needs access to a tool in order to
do its job and will walk you through
setting up access. So, when I first set
up and used Scribe, I told it I wanted
it to help me with my emails. And then
it said, "Oh, we should connect up your
Gmail." And it pulled up this card right
here. I just had to click on it and it
walked me through how to connect Gmail
with Grockbot so Scribe could then have
access to my email inbox. Anyway, that's
Scribe. And actually, I rarely message
Scribe directly because she works on a
routine. A few times a day, she checks
my inbox, researches the companies that
have reached out to me, compares that
against my content calendar, drafts
replies, and gives me suggestions on how
to handle each email. And all of that is
done even if my computer is off. And
that's because all bots have access to a
computer in the cloud that's logged in
to all the tools you use. So routines
will run even if your computer is off.
If you want to set up a routine like
this for yourself, it's very easy
because you can just ask your bot to do
it. To set up your own Scribe, I again
click on the plus, click on new bot, and
then create a new bot. And then tell it
something like your name is Scribe.
You're going to handle all my emails for
me. Scan through the last two weeks of
emails to understand the types of emails
I get and how I respond. Then look at
the notion page entitled CRM where I'm
tracking all my leads. From there, set
up a routine so you draft replies to all
the emails I receive every 2 hours
during the day. Once you submit that, it
will name itself Scribe. It will pull up
the plugins that need to be added and
then set up a routine so it can handle
your email inbox for you. The important
thing here is that Scribe isn't
responding to emails in a void. She has
the full context of my business and can
access the tools and resources needed to
respond successfully. And all of that
was set up with just a conversation. One
thing I only briefly mentioned so far is
that your bots will talk to each other.
It's one of the coolest features of
Grockbot. You can put several bots in
the same channel, give them one project,
and watch them pass the work between
themselves instead of asking you to
approve each step. This is most obvious
when you use a chief of staff or
delegator bot because their whole job is
literally to delegate work to other
bots. You can see a good example of that
here. I told Chief that I wanted her to
come up with an idea for a YouTube video
and put as much together as she can. So
instead of doing that work herself, she
first spoke to Seeker. Seeker is my
researcher bot. She goes out and does
research on trending topics, and she's
able to see what kinds of topics would
make good YouTube videos. So she pulled
up a bunch of ideas, came back to Chief
with those, and then Chief spoke to
Hemingway. Hemingway is my scriptorbot.
It knows my tone of voice. It knows how
I like to outline my YouTube videos. So
then Hemingway put together the outlines
for three different videos. And you can
see that when Hemingway was finished, it
actually messaged Chief. And we can
click on this right here to see their
exchange. I mean, look at all of this.
This is a conversation back and forth
between Chief and Hemingway that I'm not
a part of at all. I had no idea that all
this was happening in the background,
but that's how this works. They then
sent the task over to Prism, who is my
designer. And Prism came up with some
ideas for YouTube thumbnails. And you
can see here that Prism got this
assignment directly from Hemingway after
he finished putting together the script.
He then sent them over to Prism so that
Prism could come up with the ideas for
the thumbnails. And again, all of this
was a conversation I was not a part of
at all. It's absolutely wild. Let me
return back to Seeker because I want to
show you what else I use her for. I use
this as my primary research bot.
Grockbot has an X plugin. So, Seeker can
monitor X 24/7 looking for video
opportunities for my channel. If you're
not a content creator, you can tell
Seeker to monitor for important updates
in your field. With that plugin,
Grogbite is the best tool I have found
for monitoring X, which I'm sure as you
know is where all the news breaks these
days. But Seeker doesn't just stop at
research. Once Seeker finds a good
opportunity, it will send it over to
Mapmaker. And again, we can see that
conversation happening right here. She
found all of these different video
topics, sent them over to Mapmaker. And
Mapmaker is my brainstormer. It's going
to determine whether that topic will be
a good fit for my channel right now and
what angle I might take. So, the two of
them together discuss back and forth all
of these different trending topics that
Seeker has found and then MapMaker will
determine if it's something it wants to
bring to my attention. And if it does
and I approve the video, it will then
send it over to Hemingway to outline the
video. So, for this workflow, I'm being
kept in the loop. I'm still going to
approve every video before it gets
outlined. But all the backend stuff, all
the wrote research, that is all being
done automatically. And all my bots are
filtering out all the noise, so I only
get what is most important. My favorite
bot, though, is Concierge. Concierge
makes me feel like I am some highpowered
decillionaire CEO because her entire
purpose is to make my life more
comfortable. She has access to my Google
calendar and checks it every morning and
then she does whatever it takes to make
my life easier. For example, I have a
bunch of dietary restrictions and
sometimes I show up at a restaurant and
I have no idea what to order. Well, the
other day she noticed that I had a
reservation at a local restaurant for
brunch. So, she opened up her browser,
looked at the menu, and worked with my
fitness bot, Coach Cal. And together,
the two of them figured out some
suggestions on what I should order. Is
this something I could do for myself?
Absolutely. But this saves me a little
bit of mental bandwidth, and honestly,
it's just nice. For example, I also go
to physical therapy every week because I
kind of messed up my shoulder recently,
and my PT's office is right near
Smoothie King. If Concierge sees
physical therapy on my calendar, it will
make sure that there is a smoothie
waiting for me to pick up when I leave
PT. I just gave it a list of flavors
that I like, but I told it, "Don't tell
me which one you're ordering that day,
so it's always a surprise." A lot of
this is possible because all of your
bots have access to a computer in the
cloud that's logged in to all the tools
that you use. You can see the cloud
computer by clicking on this computer
icon on the top right. And if you open
it up, you can see their computer. So we
have down here the Chrome browser, it
has a file manager and it has terminal.
So as long as you can do the task in a
browser, your bot can do it for you. You
don't need your laptop on because they
all have access to a computer in the
cloud that's logged in to the tools that
you would use anyway. for this smoothie
example. The first time I set this up,
Concierge asked me to sign into Door
Dash on the website and then I took over
the browser, logged in, put in my login
information, and now Concierge has
access to my Door Dash account so it can
place those orders for me. The last bot
I want to show you today is called Bob,
the builder. And his job is to just
build things for me. If I have ideas for
apps or websites, that's his job. I've
been doing a lot of vibe coding
recently. I find it really neat to
create personalized software. And it
turns out Grock and Grockbot are really
good for vibe coding. What I've also
done is given Bob a routine. So every
month he looks through my website and
updates it with the current information.
So, there's a lot of stuff here that can
quickly get out of date, like the number
of subscribers that I have, number of
views on my channel, the latest videos
that I have up here that are doing well,
as well as some other stuff. So, every
month now, Bob updates all of that
automatically for me. That's something I
got very lazy about in the past. A lot
of my website would be out of date, but
now Bob makes sure that it's always
current. This is another one of those
things where I just had no idea if it
was possible. So, I asked Bob if he was
able to do it, and he figured it out. He
had me log in everywhere I needed to log
in so that he can keep everything
updated. Now, you may not have a website
like I do, but there's surely something
that you have to do on a routine every
month or couple of months that you just
don't want to have to worry about. And
that's the perfect kind of task to
outsource to a bot. Honestly, I feel
like I'm just scratching the surface of
what you can do with Grockbot. Once you
start thinking in terms of jobs instead
of prompts or threads, there are a lot
of directions you can take this in. Over
here, for instance, is Atlas. This is my
travelbot who monitors flights and hotel
prices for me. I'm going to set up
another one to optimize my credit card
points because I have a ton of those
just sitting there unused because I
don't even know how to use them. But I'm
going to put a bot on the job so we can
figure it out. I have Hound here who is
my personal shopper. They're always
looking around for the best deals for
me. I have another one called
Nightingale. She's shopping for health
insurance for me, which is such a
nightmare for me to do myself. So, I've
just given that job to a bot. The point
is, there are a ton of possibilities
with this if you get creative. In fact,
I'm thinking about creating a second
Grockbot video where I talk entirely
about unusual consumer use cases that
help with your personal life instead of
work tasks. If you want a video like
that, let me know in the comments
section down below. If you want to try
Grockbot, use the link at the top of the
description and in the pin comment. My
recommendation is to start with one bot.
Give the bot a clear name, a specific
role, and access to the websites and
tools it needs to help you best. Once
that works, add a second specialist,
then a third, then a fourth. Then don't
forget, you can add them to a group chat
and have them assign each other tasks.
That's when Grockbot starts to feel less
like another AI tool and more like a
team you can actually text and give work
to. Thank you to SpaceX AAI for
sponsoring this video and thank you for
watching. I'll see you in the next one.
Bye for now.
