This right here is my AI agent team.

0:03

Grokbot lets you build an entire team of

0:05

AI agents that work for you 24/7, and it

0:08

is the fastest growing agent tool on the

0:11

market. And I've spent the last week

0:12

using it across my business, and it is

0:15

the closest I've felt to managing a real

0:18

team of AI agents in an interface that

0:20

makes sense. And so there's a lot of

0:22

hype going around about this tool. So in

0:24

this video, I want to get incredibly

0:27

practical. I'm going to show you the

0:29

real ways that I use Grokbot that help

0:31

me with growing my business and my

0:34

following to over 2 million followers

0:36

across social media platforms. And I'm

0:38

going to show you exactly how to set it

0:40

up so that you can use Grokbot to be

0:42

more productive. Okay, so this right

0:45

here is Grokbot. This is a desktop app

0:48

called Grokbot, and this was an app

0:51

built by Cursor. Of course, Cursor was

0:53

acquired by SpaceX. Now it is SpaceX

0:56

platform Grokbot. And as you can see

1:00

here, I have I'm using this Grokbot

1:02

called Grokbot, but then I have a team

1:05

of Grokbot agents or bots that solve a

1:09

specific function for me or my business.

1:13

And so before we dive into the 11 tips

1:15

for using Grokbot, I do want to explain

1:18

the basics of Grokbot first. Grokbot can

1:21

be simply explained as a personal team

1:25

of AI agents each with their own little

1:29

computer. Right now, I am using the

1:31

Grokbot agent, which is an agent that I

1:34

created, and I'll explain what this

1:35

Grokbot agent does in just a little bit.

1:38

As you can see here, it has a chat

1:41

session where I can chat with Grokbot. I

1:43

can say something like hi.

1:45

And Grokbot has its own little identity.

1:47

It's this gray little blob.

1:50

We also can use skills. So just like

1:54

Codex or Claude, you can use these

1:56

skills. Here is a skill that I created

1:59

called financial insights. All of these

2:02

skills can be used by all of these

2:04

agents.

2:05

You don't just have certain skills for

2:07

one agent. All of these agents share all

2:10

of the skills. The same with plugins. I

2:13

can add a plugin to Grok bot, the agent,

2:17

right? I could add Intercom. And if I

2:19

were to add the Intercom plugin or Gmail

2:21

plugin or calendar plugin, all of the

2:24

agents would also have that plugin.

2:26

And so, the only thing that makes these

2:29

different is each of these agents

2:31

operate in their own session.

2:33

And if you click on Grok bot, you can

2:35

see that it has a name, a title, and a

2:39

description. And so, this description

2:41

describes how this agent should behave.

2:44

And just as a really quick example, this

2:45

right here is my partnership bot. We

2:47

have the chat session with the

2:48

partnership bot. If I click on

2:50

partnership bot at the top, it reveals

2:52

the settings specific for this bot. If I

2:55

click on this, I can change what it

2:56

looks like. I can change the name, the

2:58

title, and the description. The agent

3:00

reads the description every time it

3:02

runs, so it kind of is reminded of what

3:04

it does. If I hit this back button, I

3:06

can see the computer that this agent has

3:08

access to. I can fully control this

3:10

computer, as you can see here. It's

3:11

running in the cloud. I can control it,

3:13

but the agent can also control it. And

3:15

that's the most important part. And

3:17

then, as we'll get to later, we have our

3:19

routines. And this is what triggers the

3:21

agent to work 24/7. And so, now that you

3:24

understand the basics of Grok bot, that

3:26

brings me to Grok bot tip number one,

3:29

which is to have a monitor the situation

3:32

bot. So, here is my MTS bot. And like

3:36

all of the best bots that I've seen that

3:38

people have created in Grok bot, it is

3:40

incredibly simple and incredibly useful.

3:43

You don't want to create these really

3:44

complex workflows. You want to create

3:46

simple, yet really useful agents. So,

3:49

this bot is incredibly simple. What this

3:52

bot's job is to do is to monitor all of

3:57

the important situations. So, every 5

4:00

minutes this bot on weekdays will wake

4:04

up and it will monitor all of the active

4:07

situations. As you can see here, here

4:09

are the three active situations that

4:12

it's monitoring. For instance, I could

4:14

say, "Please add the Grok Bot full guide

4:19

video to our active situations, please."

4:22

And what this will do is this will

4:23

update this list of situations that this

4:26

bot is always monitoring. The point of

4:28

this bot is to monitor Slack, monitor

4:31

email, and monitor any other calendar or

4:35

any other things that it has access to,

4:38

and it's supposed to look for updates on

4:41

these active situations. And so, these

4:43

actually aren't the real situations I

4:45

have it monitor. Those are in my actual

4:48

MTS agent. I just can't show it because

4:50

all of it is very sensitive to my

4:52

business. It's data I don't want to put

4:55

out in the public. But as you can see

4:56

here, now this is the list that the

5:00

agent will check every single time this

5:03

runs. So, every 5 minutes on weekdays,

5:06

this agent will run. It'll check email,

5:08

Slack, calendar, everything. Look for

5:10

updates on anything that has to do here.

5:13

And what I'm going to do is I'm going to

5:15

say,

5:16

"Please simulate a change to the Grok

5:18

Bot full guide, and please give me you

5:20

pretend the latest up update just came

5:22

in now, and then run your workflow."

5:26

I'm just doing this to show you what

5:27

would happen if every 5 minutes it goes

5:30

off and it realizes that there's an

5:32

update to the Grok Bot video, it would

5:34

just give me an update message, and I

5:36

would get this notification not only on

5:39

the desktop, but also on the mobile app.

5:42

So, these are things that I think are

5:44

really important. And one thing I

5:46

included in this skill is that it says

5:49

situation Grok bot full guide video

5:51

here's the update. John just left his

5:53

learn 99% of Grok bot in 40 minutes

5:56

video in the database. This is all real

5:58

by the way. 17 ways to use Grok bot is

6:00

sitting next to it three blah blah blah

6:02

blah blah blah. So it gave an update

6:03

here on that video. And then it lists

6:06

them all out here. If the situation

6:09

update is about the Grok bot full guide,

6:11

I have it marked as white. So I can

6:13

immediately check this MTS bot, see

6:16

which situation it's talking about, as

6:18

well as see all of the different

6:20

situations that we have going on, and I

6:23

just get the updates. And then when

6:25

something is no longer a situation, I

6:26

can say, "Okay, I'm done with Grok bot."

6:32

We've completed it. And so then it will

6:35

simply remove this from the situations

6:39

that it's monitoring, and then it will

6:41

only check on these three things. And so

6:43

you can see here it says updated routine

6:45

and off the list. And then every single

6:48

time it responds, or at least in every

6:50

turn, it shows me the full list of

6:52

situations that it's going to continue

6:53

monitoring. All right, for the second

6:55

tip that I have for using Grok

6:57

effectively is to have a developer bot

7:00

that is connected to cursor. You see,

7:03

Grok bot is meant to be a general agent

7:05

platform, meaning to be used for

7:07

knowledge work tasks, kind of like GPT

7:09

work. However, you can actually connect

7:11

to this to cursor. And it's really easy

7:14

to connect because you actually sign in

7:16

with the same account that you use to

7:19

set up cursor. And once you set up

7:20

cursor, you can do something like this.

7:23

Hey, the landing page we are working on

7:24

the other day, I need you to redesign

7:26

it. I want you to design it in the same

7:28

style as Grok, like XAI's Grok, and try

7:32

it with that simple black and white

7:34

style, please. Create a new version of

7:36

that of the agent native site, and then

7:38

take screenshots of it and send it to

7:40

me. Please use Claude Opus 5.

7:44

So, you can specify which model, and

7:46

then your developer bot will begin

7:48

working, and it will delegate this task

7:52

to Cursor. And so, what it's going to do

7:54

here is it's going to create a new

7:56

branch. So, this actually won't affect

7:58

the actual app that I'm creating in

8:00

production. It's going to create a new

8:02

branch. It's going to run it in another

8:04

cloud computer, because that's what

8:06

Cursor can do now. You can run these in

8:08

the cloud, and then it's going to take a

8:10

screen recording of the app and send it

8:13

to me, which is really cool that you can

8:15

do that. And you can see here Agent

8:17

Native Redesign, and here you can see

8:19

Open in Cursor. As you can see here, you

8:21

can see the status. You can see that

8:23

it's running, and we'll just wait for

8:25

this to complete. And then while it's

8:26

running, you can always just press or

8:28

type in status, and then it'll check the

8:31

redesign, and as you can see here, it's

8:32

still running. And then of course, you

8:34

could check the status just by clicking

8:36

on Open in Cursor, and this is running

8:39

in the cloud in Cursor. And so, you can

8:41

see the prompt, you can see the prompt

8:43

that GrokBot gave to Cursor. So, it it

8:46

literally delegated to it. I asked

8:48

GrokBot, I said, "Hey, can you do this?"

8:50

And then it actually made a better

8:52

prompt, and here it wrote out the prompt

8:55

here, and now we're just waiting for it

8:57

to finish. And you can see here now that

8:59

it actually created a PR, and I can

9:02

actually view this PR. So, this should

9:04

take me directly to GitHub, and so we

9:07

can see that it made this PR. Now, what

9:09

it should be doing in the background is

9:11

it's actually going to run the app and

9:13

take screenshots, and that's what it'll

9:15

send me. So, that's how this is kind of

9:17

working on the back end. And remember, I

9:19

can always go to Cursor to kind of get a

9:21

closer look, but remember, this has an

9:24

iOS app. I use GrokBot on my phone

9:26

probably more than my computer, and I

9:29

can just view the screenshots once it's

9:31

done. And you'll see in just a second.

9:33

Okay, so it's fully done. It says the

9:34

Grok Black and White Redesign is in,

9:36

grabbing the screenshots, and I can

9:38

scroll down. Here is the web view, as

9:42

you can see right here. Here's the full

9:43

home page phone view. We have the home

9:46

page mobile. Here is one of the pages

9:51

here. Here is this one, just like this.

9:54

So, this kind of shows the design of the

9:56

app. I can see the screenshots. This is

9:59

really cool. And so, as you can see

10:01

here, you can just delegate to any

10:03

model, right? I specified that I wanted

10:05

it to be Claude Opus 5, and it will

10:07

build it, run the app in the cloud, take

10:09

screenshots, and send them to me. Now, I

10:12

want to talk about something that I

10:13

think is incredibly important, which is

10:16

your general Grok bot agent. Tip number

10:19

three has to do with an agent that does

10:21

nothing. And this agent I just call Grok

10:24

bot. And I

10:26

unpinned it for the sake of this

10:28

example, but I keep this agent pinned.

10:30

So, you can pin agents here at the top.

10:33

And so, I'll keep Grok bot pinned. What

10:35

Grok bot does is this is a place where

10:38

if I don't know where to go, or I need

10:40

to do something quickly, I just go to

10:41

Grok bot. It is basically like Chat GPT,

10:45

where if I want to ask something really

10:46

quickly, or if I'm on my phone, like if

10:49

I'm using the iOS app, I can very

10:51

quickly just go to my pinned Grok bot,

10:54

and this is where I will talk to my

10:55

agent. I will very often use my voice

10:57

and say like, "Yo, what was that

10:59

conversation we were having a few days

11:00

ago about ideas for using a Windows

11:04

laptop for that video I want to do on a

11:05

Windows AI setup?" I can just fire off

11:08

these prompts here, and this is where I

11:10

go if I don't know where to put it. And

11:12

remember, these stay perfectly in sync.

11:14

And so, right now, this is where I just

11:16

have my general conversations with Grok.

11:20

So, I've noticed when people go to set

11:23

up their AI agents, they try to like

11:25

create a new bot for every type of chat.

11:27

You don't need to do that. Simply just

11:29

talk to Grok bot, and when you talk to

11:31

Grok bot, you'll probably come up with

11:33

an idea of what type of agent you might

11:35

want to create as its own individual

11:37

one, and then it's really easy to just

11:39

take that functionality, and you can add

11:42

it as its own agent. And here we go. It

11:44

actually found the conversation that we

11:46

were having on Friday. I believe I just

11:48

had it with the Grokbot. I was talking

11:50

about this Windows laptop series that I

11:52

actually want to do, and it found the

11:54

conversation that we were having before.

11:56

If you want to take a look at the

11:57

agent's description, remember, this is

11:59

all I put for the description. You do

12:01

whatever. You have no specific purpose

12:03

other than to respond to Riley the best

12:05

you can. This chat is meant for general

12:07

use, while all the others are meant for

12:09

specific uses. Now, I will also use this

12:12

Grokbot chat if I want to do some like

12:15

summarization of all of my different

12:17

agents, or if I want to do larger

12:19

strategy where I need to get input from

12:21

the other agents. Because this brings me

12:23

to tip number four for using Grokbot,

12:26

which is to have these agents talk to

12:28

each other. So, well, I'm going to show

12:30

you something really cool. I'm going to

12:31

go to my general Grokbot. Hey, buddy. I

12:34

need you to do something for me. I would

12:35

like for you to talk to all of the other

12:37

agents. I want you to talk to those guys

12:40

and get a good summary of the last week,

12:41

and then present to me a summary of what

12:44

we've done over the last week. I'm I'm

12:45

trying to look for what projects I

12:47

should be focused on, and what is the

12:49

next thing that I should be doing, and

12:51

please do that for me. And so, this is

12:54

what makes this platform really unique

12:57

is you can actually see this Grokbot go

13:00

in and start to talk to all the other

13:02

agents. And look at this. Message three

13:04

bots. Message four bots. Message five

13:06

bots. Look at this. So, I can click on

13:08

this right here, and you can see that

13:10

it's actually messaging the other bots.

13:13

Today, it said, "Riley asked Grokbot for

13:16

a last week recap so he can pick what to

13:20

focus on next." So, this Grokbot agent

13:23

just sent this to weekly update. I love

13:26

how these get stored. You can just view

13:28

all of these conversations by clicking

13:31

on this right here and you can see that

13:32

GrokBot is having a conversation with

13:35

all of the other chatbots, which is

13:38

really fun and just a really unique

13:40

experience. While this is running, I do

13:42

want to show you that you can actually

13:44

create a new group chat and you can

13:48

actually add GrokBot, we could add the

13:51

partnership bot and MTS bot and we could

13:54

send a message here. And so, all of

13:57

these agents can respond in this little

13:59

group chat here. And remember, all of

14:02

this can be used on our phone. You can

14:04

see we have the group chat here. I

14:05

believe you can name the group. Yeah, we

14:08

can name the group. Let's call this the

14:10

boys. And this is And you can see the

14:13

instructions file right here. Pretty

14:16

fun. And you can see they can respond

14:18

and you can see which ones are typing.

14:20

And so, we have MTS bot is working. We

14:22

have GrokBot and remember, all of these

14:24

can be seen on the phone and the MTS bot

14:27

can give us the update from whatever it

14:30

is that it's doing, which is really

14:32

cool. Okay, so take a look at this. My

14:34

agent got back to me after I said to

14:36

talk to all the other agents and then

14:38

create a summary. Now, I took a

14:40

screenshot and blurred a lot out. A lot

14:41

of this is confidential information.

14:43

It's literally my business, clients that

14:45

I work with, people that I'm helping set

14:47

up AI agents, so I can't fully just show

14:50

all of this information, but it said,

14:51

"Got enough recaps. Here's the week and

14:54

what to do next." A couple bots still

14:56

haven't written back. Those are probably

14:58

ones that just haven't really done

14:59

anything.

15:00

Uh but it says, "So, do these three this

15:02

weekend in this order." And it gave me

15:04

one, two, and three and then it

15:06

summarized everything that I kind of

15:08

needed to do around this. And so, in

15:11

that way, GrokBot, my general agent,

15:13

kind of ends up being the one that kind

15:15

of overlooks all the other agents. I

15:17

don't like to be too structured with it.

15:18

If I need to know something about many

15:20

of the other agents, I'll just ask

15:22

GrokBot to ask or I will create a group

15:25

chat. And so that was just having agents

15:27

talk to each other. That's a really

15:29

useful tip. Now what I want to talk

15:30

about is tip number five, I believe,

15:33

which is creating a general project bot.

15:37

So imagine right now, so this part of

15:39

its summary, GrokBot when it talked to

15:42

all the other agents, is it talked about

15:44

a short-form video editor that I want to

15:46

hire. And so what I want to do is I want

15:48

to create a onboarding video editor bot

15:53

to kind of manage this as its own bot.

15:55

And it's really easy to spin off a new

15:57

bot, and this is how I do it. I'm just

15:59

going to go create a new bot, and I'm

16:01

just going to call this video editor

16:03

bot. Because in the GrokBot, we just had

16:06

it output a bunch of useful information.

16:08

Hey, I think it's really important that

16:10

we get this video editor on-ramped and

16:13

make sure that we give them all the

16:14

information that they need to do a

16:15

really high high-quality job for my

16:17

short-form content. Can you please go to

16:20

the new video editor bot and give them

16:22

everything that they need to get set up

16:23

properly to be a good video editor bot?

16:25

Just make sure that this agent has

16:27

context over this new video editor. And

16:29

so we can, again, have the agents talk

16:32

to each other. It's going to take all of

16:33

the information that it just surfaced

16:35

here. It's going to give it to the new

16:37

video editor bot, and then it'll

16:38

configure it. And I can just say like,

16:40

"Please listen to @GrokBot come up with

16:45

a new name." And so that's how we can

16:47

kind of spin out a new agent that is a

16:50

video editor bot. And so while it's

16:52

actually talking to GrokBot, we can

16:54

configure it by creating a routine.

16:56

"Every morning at 8:00 a.m., I want you

16:58

to remind me to write a short-form

17:00

script or ask for like, literally ask me

17:03

what things have been interesting, and

17:05

also check my bookmarks on Twitter and

17:08

give me some suggestions for things that

17:10

I should talk about in short form." And

17:13

so this is kind of how I'll set up a new

17:14

bot. I named it First Frame, which is

17:17

very interesting. Setting a weekday 8:00

17:20

a.m. ping, write a script, what was

17:22

interesting, plus bookmark. Here it

17:24

created this routine. So, every day at

17:26

8:00 a.m., it'll remind and it created

17:29

the instructions for that routine. So,

17:31

now we have a new bot created. It has

17:33

the context it needs and it has a

17:35

routine. That easy to create a new bot.

17:37

One other thing I do want to mention,

17:38

let's say that I actually don't want to

17:41

create this, right? I created this as an

17:42

example. I don't actually want this to

17:44

be its own bot. I don't think it's

17:46

necessary. But let's let's say like

17:48

maybe I might want it in the future.

17:50

Instead of deleting it, you can very

17:51

easily just hide from sidebar. And here

17:55

I actually have 15 hidden bots that I

17:57

don't use anymore, but these are ones

17:59

that I might want to bring back into

18:00

existence. And as we'll get to a little

18:02

bit later, you can actually access these

18:05

even if they're hidden really easily

18:07

just by typing in first frame and you

18:09

can see here that it's hidden, but I can

18:11

still bring it up just by doing this

18:12

command K. And so, I guess this brings

18:15

me to a bonus one, which is using

18:18

command K to access things really

18:20

quickly, right? If I hit command K and I

18:22

type in Grok bot and press enter, I can

18:24

very easily get to my Grok bot. If I

18:27

want to get to the boys, I just type in

18:29

command K and I type in partnership bot.

18:31

It's really easy. If I want to go to the

18:33

to-do list bot, just type to-do list

18:34

bot, enter. If you press command K and

18:36

go over, you can actually search

18:38

messages. So, I could type in agent

18:40

native, which will have a lot. That's

18:42

the name of my company, so there's a lot

18:44

of things there. If I search for uh

18:47

daily, I should probably see a bunch of

18:49

routines. And so, I can remove this. I

18:52

can see all of the routines for all of

18:54

my agents. And here you can see that

18:56

this is by the Twitter bot. This is by

18:58

the Slack bot. These are the routines

19:00

that run and it shows which bot has

19:03

which routine. Here it has all the

19:05

links. Here it has all the files that

19:06

either get created or that I give to the

19:09

agent. And then here are the groups that

19:12

you have. And remember, you can if you

19:14

don't want these

19:16

like showing up in the sidebar, you can

19:17

hide these from the sidebar and you can

19:19

still have your if you just want to use

19:21

them every once in a while, you can

19:22

actually have the boys which are hidden

19:25

and I can very easily go to this old

19:27

group chat even though it's not in the

19:29

side panel. Okay, so now I want to go to

19:31

a new agent for Grok bot tip number six

19:34

which is connecting Grok bot to Twitter

19:37

or x.com. So on Grok bot I said this,

19:40

"Please analyze my last 50 videos on X

19:44

and put them with a link below and how

19:46

they did. Only videos that are over 3

19:49

minutes." And because we've set up this

19:51

@x

19:52

connected, right? We've set up this X

19:55

account. I've also connected another X

19:57

account which is Agent Native. So my

19:58

main account and Agent Native, it can go

20:01

through and find my videos. I It doesn't

20:05

need to be plugged into my account to

20:06

get my videos because I posted those

20:09

publicly. However, with the official X

20:12

plugin, you can also get your bookmarks

20:14

and likes on your own posts because

20:17

those are no longer public. But as you

20:19

can see here, it just does a really good

20:21

job of finding all the posts you need

20:23

that have been posted on X and you can

20:25

see here like these are all of my

20:26

Twitter posts. It shows the exact amount

20:28

of views and I said, "Um guys, Mythos

20:30

Fable is AGI." I can click on this post.

20:33

It takes me straight to Twitter and here

20:35

it is. Okay, so I want to show you what

20:37

else this Twitter bot can do. On my

20:39

phone, "Hey, I want you to please list

20:42

out all of my bookmarks for the week

20:43

that have to do with AI agents and then

20:45

what it means in a few sentences for

20:47

each one and I want a hyperlink to all

20:49

of those bookmarks so I can kind of

20:51

review all the things that I

20:52

bookmarked." This is if for those of you

20:54

who are on Twitter, if you get a lot of

20:56

your updates from Twitter, this is so

20:58

useful to just have an agent that has

21:00

access to your bookmarks. Especially for

21:02

me, I do my weekly agent updates. The

21:05

way that I get started with that is I

21:07

just summarize all my bookmarks because

21:08

I only bookmark things that have to do

21:10

with AI advancements, AI agents, and

21:13

it'll look through the ones that it'll

21:15

think are relevant for the weekly update

21:17

and then send those to me. But, let's

21:19

wait for this. So, it's pulling this

21:20

week's bookmarks and there you go. So,

21:23

here all the things that I've bookmarked

21:25

about agents, Grok bot, Elon Musk said

21:28

interesting ways to use Grok bot, lot of

21:30

Grok bot things, Ross Mike launched

21:33

Bezalel, Drew launch Skydive. And so,

21:36

it's really easy to just click on this

21:38

and it takes me to the exact tweet on

21:40

where I learned about it. And so, this

21:41

is just like a weekly summary of all of

21:43

the things that I bookmarked, which are

21:45

like all my interests, right? It's good

21:47

to go back through these. If we go back

21:49

to the desktop app, you can see that I

21:50

actually have this for every Wednesday

21:53

and Sunday, it sends me a bookmark

21:55

digest. And so, this helps me write my

21:57

weekly updates. And so, that's kind of

21:59

how I use the Twitter bot. One other

22:01

thing that you can do is you can

22:03

actually say of the most popular videos

22:05

in the last month, what VCs liked my

22:08

posts? So, it actually can view all of

22:12

the people who liked all of your posts

22:14

and then it list out the different VCs

22:16

that actually liked my post and which

22:18

post it liked, which is really cool. And

22:21

remember, to set this up, you're just

22:22

going to go to plugins. You're going to

22:23

click it type X. You're going to click

22:25

on this and you can add your account. My

22:28

default account is my Riley Brown

22:29

account, but I also added my Agent

22:31

Native account, which is my business

22:32

account, and then we can add another

22:34

account. And it's really easy to do

22:37

this. Third account, I don't have a

22:39

third account at the moment, but you can

22:41

add an account and then this will have

22:43

you sign in. I don't have a third

22:44

account, so I'm not going to do it, but

22:46

it's that easy. You just need to

22:47

authorize with your Twitter account and

22:49

that will very easily get set up. I'm

22:51

going to remove that for now. So, yeah,

22:53

that's how you set up the Twitter

22:54

integration. So, for the next Grok bot

22:57

tip, I want to talk about trigger-based

23:00

automations. And when I say automations,

23:03

I mean routines, or at least that's what

23:05

they call them in Grok Bot. If you look

23:07

at the web UI, you can see that they

23:08

call them routines. Now, there's two

23:10

types of routines, right? The ones that

23:12

I've shown you so far are time-based

23:15

routines. And so that includes like

23:17

everyday at 10:00. It also includes

23:21

something like every 5 minutes, the

23:24

agent will basically wake up and do the

23:26

task depending on whatever is in this

23:31

right here, right? You have the name of

23:33

the routine and then the instructions.

23:35

So, everyday at 10:00 p.m. it'll do this

23:37

thing, right? Whereas if we go to my MTS

23:41

bot, it's every 5 minutes it'll do this

23:44

thing. And so those are the ones that

23:46

I've talked about. And I have a lot of

23:48

these because they're incredibly useful.

23:50

Now, there's another one, which are

23:51

action slash trigger-based

23:55

routines. Now, this is the only

23:57

platform, to my knowledge, of the

24:00

general agent platforms that has these

24:01

trigger-based routines. So, if we

24:03

navigate back to Grok Bot and we go to

24:05

the partnership one, you can see here

24:08

that this one is deal Slack alerts and

24:11

it is triggered on any message anywhere

24:14

on Slack. Here it is on any message in a

24:17

specific channel on Slack. Let me show

24:20

you. So, if we were to add a new

24:22

routine, when you come here they have a

24:24

certain list of things that can trigger

24:27

the bot to do something. And so here you

24:30

can do it with Slack, GitHub, Microsoft

24:33

Teams, Linear, Sentry, and PagerDuty.

24:35

I've heard that they're actually going

24:37

to be adding a lot more triggers like

24:39

email triggers, things of that nature,

24:41

but you can also set up your own

24:43

triggers with webhooks, but I'll make a

24:45

dedicated video on that. The most useful

24:47

one for me is Slack. There are certain

24:49

channels where if something happens, I

24:52

need to know about it really quick, or

24:54

something needs to happen externally

24:55

like someone else needs to know, or we

24:57

need to update a database, or it needs

25:00

to create some sort of document. And I

25:02

have a lot of those hidden. Those are

25:03

like for invoices and things like that.

25:06

We have a lot of these Slack messages,

25:08

and you can create these for shared

25:09

Slack channels, so that if someone does

25:12

something, it automatically pulls data,

25:14

it pulls the document, or does some

25:17

external thing. And remember, if we were

25:19

to create a new bot, I'm just going to

25:20

call this test bot, and we wanted this

25:23

to run on any Slack channel, all we have

25:25

to do is say, "Hey, your job is to be my

25:28

Slack reminder. Anytime something

25:31

happens in any Slack channel, I want you

25:33

to tell me in all caps what that thing

25:35

is. And yeah, rename yourself

25:38

accordingly." And so, I can just fire

25:39

that prompt. And you want it to say

25:41

something like, "I'll watch Slack." If

25:43

it watches Slack, that means it's just

25:46

waiting for a trigger. Here, it's

25:48

created a routine. If I click on this,

25:50

we can see here, right? If we go back to

25:52

this right here, we can see on all

25:54

messages anywhere on Slack. So,

25:56

basically, that is when to run. That is

25:59

a trigger-based

26:01

automation, which is incredibly useful,

26:04

and I'm actually going to make a whole

26:06

dedicated video just for this. Okay, so

26:08

for Grok Bot tip number eight, I want to

26:10

talk about something that all of these

26:12

platforms have, which are plugins. In

26:15

Grok Bot, if you navigate down here to

26:17

plugins, this is where you can see the

26:19

full list of plugins that you can add,

26:21

features, agent orchestration, etc.,

26:24

etc. I could very easily go to Grok Bot

26:27

and just say, "Please list out all of

26:30

the plugins I've configured in Grok

26:34

Bot." So, here Grok Bot gave me a list

26:37

of the plugins that I've added. Every

26:41

plugin that you add to Grok Bot,

26:44

obviously, it does increase the risk of

26:46

like security issues, but it also

26:48

increases the amount of context your

26:50

agents can get. For instance, having

26:53

access to Google Drive means it has

26:55

access to the Google Docs that I've

26:56

created. A lot of my ideas I throw in

26:59

Google Docs. Um it has access to my

27:01

calendar, right? Which is very useful. I

27:04

actually have a calendar bot. This

27:07

calendar bot, what this does is this

27:09

literally every 5 minutes from 6:00 a.m.

27:13

to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays, it'll check

27:15

my calendar, right? It'll check my

27:17

calendar and it'll basically remind me 5

27:20

minutes before a meeting and 15 minutes

27:22

before a meeting. And it'll tell me

27:24

everything that I need to to understand

27:26

for the calendar bot. And so that is one

27:28

example of a really useful plugin. And

27:31

so Notion, this is where I write all of

27:33

my different um content scripts. Linear

27:36

is where we keep all of our product

27:39

updates. And then obviously Twitter, it

27:41

can grab my voice on Twitter. So if I

27:43

need it to like come up with an idea for

27:44

tweets that I should tweet, it will

27:46

literally just check my voice on

27:48

Twitter. ClickUp, I work with a

27:50

consulting company and this is where we

27:51

keep some of our information. It can

27:53

very easily check that out. Uh and then

27:55

all of these, right? We have Granola,

27:57

which actually haven't yet set that up,

28:00

but this will allow my agent to have

28:02

access to all of my meeting notes. The

28:04

more context you give your agent, the

28:06

more it will understand you and the more

28:08

it'll be able to make good decisions in

28:10

what to show you or what to create for

28:13

you based on the tasks you give it. And

28:15

for those of you who use Cursor,

28:16

basically over time all of the plugins

28:19

that Cursor has Rock bot will have and

28:21

vice versa, which makes it really easy

28:23

to set up. Okay, for Grok bot, tip

28:24

number nine. And this might be one of

28:26

the most useful, and that is you can use

28:28

the Gmail plugin and connect multiple

28:30

accounts. So I can tell Grok bot, "Yo,

28:33

buddy, I need you to go through both of

28:34

my emails, find all the things that I've

28:36

paid for over the last 3 months and and

28:38

list them out right here, please.

28:40

Everything that we've paid for. Ignore

28:42

big massive business expenses. We're not

28:45

I'm looking for my personal stuff." And

28:46

so I can fire in that prompt, and it

28:48

will analyze both emails. And so, here's

28:51

a little story. When I first got Grok

28:53

bot and found out that you could connect

28:55

multiple Gmail accounts, the first thing

28:57

I did is I had AI go through all five of

29:00

them looking for subscriptions that I

29:03

should cancel because I've collected a

29:05

lot of emails over the years. I needed

29:07

to find where like what accounts I've

29:09

signed in with and how I can cancel

29:11

them, and it went through all of them

29:13

and saved me a ton of money. And so, if

29:15

you're someone who has multiple emails,

29:17

maybe you're a freelancer, you have a

29:19

personal email and a business email,

29:21

it's incredibly useful to connect

29:23

through multiple, and it's amazing. And

29:26

then, if you want to have an agent that

29:28

is specific for your just your business

29:31

email, you could always spin up a new

29:33

agent, right? You could create a new

29:34

bot, and you'd just be be like, "Yo,

29:37

you're in charge of the agent native

29:41

email and slack. So, everything I ask

29:44

you if I tell you to send an email or or

29:47

send a message in slack, that is the

29:49

channel and email that you should be

29:50

doing it in." And so, here we'd

29:52

basically specify to a new bot. Oh, I

29:54

need to create a new bot. We're going to

29:56

call this buddy. And then, this would

29:58

tell the agent, right? It'll put in its

30:00

description that it's only going to send

30:02

emails from this specific email. And I

30:05

basically just send all my emails

30:07

through an AI agent platform. Grok isn't

30:10

my primary agent platform, but when I

30:12

use Grok bot, I do send emails directly

30:15

from it. Like, I can say like, "Please

30:17

send an email to emily@agentnative.inc

30:23

saying,

30:25

'You should really try Grok bot.'" And

30:29

then, I can say, "Please check for her

30:32

response every hour until she responds."

30:38

Right? This is another way to use your

30:39

agent kind of in the future, which is

30:42

like, I just sent her an email. Emily

30:44

just got it at emily@agentnative.ink.

30:46

She said, you should really try GrokBot.

30:48

Imagine if this was a really important

30:50

email that you wanted to be notified as

30:52

soon as something happened here. Please

30:54

check for her response every hour until

30:57

she responds. Once she responds, delete

31:01

that automation. And so, what this will

31:03

do is it'll just create a routine,

31:05

right? It'll create a routine. It'll

31:07

watch for it every hour. Once she

31:10

responds, and you can see here it

31:11

created the routine, it'll let me know,

31:13

and then it'll delete this routine. And

31:14

so, that's a really fun way to use

31:16

agents. It's just like, this is

31:17

important to me. Check every 10 minutes,

31:19

check every 5 minutes. If something

31:21

happens, let me know. And if it when it

31:23

checks, if nothing happens, it'll just

31:24

do nothing, which is exactly what you

31:26

want. Okay, for GrokBot tip number 10,

31:29

it is connect your GrokBot to Notion.

31:32

And so, let me show you how this skill

31:34

and Notion connection works, cuz

31:36

remember I used the Notion integration

31:38

and I used the uh add context skill. And

31:42

so, the Notion integration allows it to

31:44

edit and create Notion documents and

31:46

update Notion databases, and the add

31:49

context is a custom skill. Let me show

31:51

you exactly what it does. If we open

31:53

this up right here, this is the video

31:55

that I'm working on right now. This is

31:56

the outline. I have a very specific

31:59

format that I do outlines with, like

32:01

this is what how I just write my

32:02

outlines. If I want an agent to add

32:04

context, I don't want it to cloud this.

32:06

I don't want it to add or change things

32:09

in the document. What I want it to do is

32:11

just add a little context in the doc. I

32:13

can very easily open it up, and this

32:15

skill just tells it to put it in this

32:17

callout in a drop-down. So, it doesn't

32:19

take up too much space, and if I need to

32:21

access it, I can look at it. And yeah,

32:25

so this is just a way for the agent to

32:26

add context to my Notion doc, and it's

32:28

incredibly useful because once I'm done

32:31

filming, or once I'm done scripting a

32:33

video, I can be like, "Hey, what else

32:34

did I forget? Please, can you add

32:36

context, right?" That is just a really

32:39

easy skill that I can use, and because

32:40

it connects to notion, it can very

32:42

easily do that. Okay, for the final tip

32:44

for using

32:48

that your agent has a computer. So, this

32:51

right here is my journal bot, and my

32:53

journal bot is meant to be used mostly

32:55

on my phone. If I pull up my phone right

32:58

here, you can see that this is where I

33:00

just go to vent. It's a little bit

33:02

different than my Grok Bot one because

33:04

this one is meant to use a specific

33:07

skill, which is called grill me. This

33:09

grill journal is designed for me to just

33:11

like yap out my ideas, and then the AI

33:15

agent will grill me and ask me follow-up

33:17

questions. And then I can then I have my

33:20

next topic, and I just keep doing that

33:21

until I have like a giant journal entry,

33:24

and the agent will store them on its

33:26

computer. And you can see here that it

33:28

has files on its computer. I don't

33:30

really want to store them in notion, but

33:32

you can remember you're just like put

33:33

them on your computer somewhere, and

33:35

don't forget where you put them. You can

33:36

just tell that to an agent because

33:38

remember, all of your agents have access

33:40

to a computer. And I do want to show you

33:42

this grill me skill or this journal

33:44

because remember, all of this the skills

33:47

and bots that I've created are going to

33:48

be in the description below, and you can

33:50

get it for free. And so, I do want to

33:51

explain this one. Hey, I want to journal

33:53

about the different videos that I'm

33:55

going to make this week. And so, I can

33:56

fire this prompt into Grok Bot, and it

33:59

said, "I'm in. Pulling what's already in

34:00

the video database for this week, so we

34:02

can start from what's real." So, it'll

34:04

actually look at the context. Then it'll

34:05

come up with follow-up questions. And

34:07

so, it kind of looks through some of the

34:09

information. It says, "Which of those

34:10

are you actually making this week? Which

34:12

one are just sitting in the pile?" The

34:14

next one I want to make is the

34:16

computer use video. I really want to

34:18

make the computer use video. I don't

34:19

know what use cases I'm going to do for

34:21

it, though. And so, I will often do this

34:23

while walking. If I don't know what to

34:24

focus on next, I'll pull out my phone,

34:26

go into my journal, and then my agent

34:28

has all the context, and after like

34:30

seven or eight exchanges, it will

34:32

usually come up with some clarity and

34:34

then we'll figure out what we need to

34:35

do. So, it's like, which of these have

34:36

you actually done on your own computer

34:38

versus ones that only you like because

34:40

they sound good? That's a really good

34:42

question. You see, it's actually

34:44

grilling me and it's it this grill me

34:46

skill, which I'll call include in the

34:48

link below, is designed to like stump

34:50

me. It wants to stump me, which is those

34:53

are the most useful questions because it

34:55

finds gaps in your logic, which is

34:57

really really useful to have someone who

34:59

does that. But if we go back to tip

35:01

number 11, which is remember that your

35:03

agents have a computer, we can get more

35:05

focus and I want to show you that you

35:06

can use this computer, right? This is a

35:08

computer that we have access to. We can

35:10

open the browser and we can go to a

35:12

website. Like we can go to twitter.com

35:14

and I will say I haven't found a ton of

35:17

use for this specific feature yet. I've

35:20

found that this IP address just gets

35:22

blocked because a lot of these sites

35:23

want to block they want to block bots,

35:26

which this is literally Grok bot. And

35:28

so, I don't think this computer is that

35:31

useful yet, but I do think in the future

35:33

it'll get really useful because you can

35:34

literally teach it a task. Like you can

35:36

do something on your computer,

35:38

tomato.com,

35:40

whatever. You can do a bunch of steps,

35:42

so you can literally teach the agent how

35:44

to do something and then you can hit

35:46

stop and then it'll add that

35:48

demonstration to the agent. And you can

35:50

see here the agent is actually watching

35:52

that demo. And I just haven't found any

35:54

good use cases. If you guys have any

35:57

really good use cases for using the uh

35:59

computer that the agent has access to,

36:01

please let me know in the comments. I'll

36:03

review all of them and that'll probably

36:04

be in my updated video that I make in a

36:06

month or so. All right, guys. We talked

36:09

about a lot of different tips today. Um

36:11

just to go over them really quickly, we

36:12

talked about the monitor the situations

36:14

bot. You can add new things to the

36:16

situation list. It's always monitoring

36:18

for these. You can create a developer

36:20

bot, give it access to cursor, a general

36:23

Grok bot where you can go for general

36:25

questions, something where you don't

36:26

really have to worry about the

36:27

organization. We talked about getting

36:29

the agents to talk to each other,

36:30

whether that's to tell one single bot to

36:32

go talk to everyone or create group

36:33

chats. We also talked about a general

36:35

project bot. So, if you have a really

36:37

important project come up in one of your

36:39

other channels or chats with a with a

36:41

bot, you can basically spin it out and

36:44

create a bot just for that project. We

36:47

talked about connecting it to Twitter.

36:48

We talked about it watching Slack. And

36:51

we talked about trigger-based

36:52

automations. We talked about plugins and

36:55

how you can add plugins. This increases

36:56

the amount of context and its ability in

36:58

the world to actually do things. We

37:00

talked about connecting it to more than

37:02

one more than one email. We talked about

37:04

connecting it to Notion and some useful

37:05

skills there. And we also talked about

37:07

the Grill Me journal. I'm going to turn

37:09

this into a much more useful resource.

37:11

It'll be in the description below and

37:13

you'll be able to download all the

37:14

skills and see all of the bots that I

37:16

created. That'll be in the link down

37:18

below. Thank you guys so much for

37:19

watching this video. I will see you here

37:22

for the next one. Peace.
