In this video, I'll demonstrate how to

install Grokbot on your computer.

In my case, I'm using a MacBook. The

same process applies if you're using a

Windows machine.

So, to download and install Grokbot, you

go to x.ai/bot.

Click on download for Mac OS.

And if you're using Windows, it'll be

download for Windows.

Once downloaded, click on the downloads

and then click to open it up, the

download.

Next, drag it to applications.

You may be prompted to enter the

password.

And once dragged to applications and

installed,

go back to the list of apps.

And one of the options is Grokbot.

Click on Grokbot.

And then click on open.

Next, click on sign in.

If you don't have an account, you can

click here on sign up and create a free

account.

One thing to note when creating a new

account, it will prompt you for a credit

card information.

And it will not charge you unless you

approve any of the purchases.

In my case, I already have an account

created and I've gone through those

steps and I'm still using the free

version of it.

So, I'll click here continue with email

and enter your password.

Under the share data, press continue.

Then click on sign in.

And at this point, we are logged in to

Grokbot. The way this works is that it's

very similar to the messenger app. You

have all the bots that are running

different processes behind the scenes

here on the left-hand side.

You can create a new bot from here on

the left-hand panel. You can click on

the

new bot or channel on the top left.

Then further down here we have the

plugins. These are all different options

and integrations with different

platforms such as Gmail, Google Drive,

Google Calendar,

and so on. You're authorizing access to

one of those applications that you work

with. And depending on what you are

asking it to do,

run those processes in the background.

Further down here we have the account

settings, so you can click under the

Grok Bot account and then click on

settings.

And you can change the theme, you can

set the microphone, you can set time

zones, and the various rules and

guardrails that you want to set up for

your Grok Bot.

You can set it that every time to prompt

you, or you can authorize always access

to certain things. Under updates, this

is where you can check for updates and

also what to run automatically. And then

this is where you can reset

all the options for your Grok Bot.

Typically, when you create your account

with Cursor, most likely going to ask

you a series of questions as to what you

use, what platforms you use.

In my case, I skipped that, so now we're

going to create a new bot from the left.

For this particular bot, we need to give

it a set of directions. It says, "What

do you want me around for?"

And you can pick the option that you're

looking to perform. It can be for

reminders, research, for drafting. It

can be for code or planning or shipping.

It can be for explaining things or

something specific. You want to be

specific and give it as many details as

you want. You can also use the

transcribe option and just describe all

that you'd want to do for you and then

it will suggest what bots to launch.

Typically, it's best to select the CEO

option because it will collaborate

behind the scenes with other bots.

So, now that I I gave you the prompt,

it's asking us

which option do we want to enable first.

So, you have operations such as

checklists, follow-ups, weekly digest,

the inbox. It will check your email. It

will draft replies and it and so on. It

can deal with customer leads, content

create new content, or take meeting

notes.

So, in this case, I'll just simply say

ops.

And now it's creating a new bot for the

operations.

Here you can add additional details for

operations.

And notice it's suggesting different

tasks to run on its own.

We can specify then again other options

related where to get the data from and

this is up to you.

Now here, we it's prompting us to create

another bot.

And this case, we'll create an inbox. It

will check your email.

It will prompt to connect to access the

email platform.

One thing to keep in mind is that each

one of these

is actually running a separate virtual

machine on the XAI platform.

So, if we go here to the new bot on the

top

and click on the computer icon on the

top right, this will display and open

that bot's virtual machine.

And now this, in this virtual machine,

there is Chrome and there is command

line and so on, so you could actually

run different processes

uh on that virtual machine and basically

train it on what to do. So, it will

learn by whatever you're doing or

searching on that particular virtual

machine, it's going to learn to perform

those tasks on its own. And notice there

is a teach a task option here on the top

right.

And again, the same thing for ops, you

can click on the computer, it's going to

start the desktop.

Also, these processes are going to run

on the background, so even if you close

your computer, the system, those bots

are going to be performing the tasks

that you assign behind the scenes.

So, now to go back to the Grok bot, we

open the Grok bot app and then

it's depending on what you prompted the

system to perform, it's going to

generate these reports automatically,

it's going to put email drafts together

and you can also create routines and so

on, but basically think of it just like

a messaging app where you have different

messages in this case that these bots

are performing on different sets of

actions behind the scenes.

Now, if you set the main bot as a CEO of

this platform, so if you right click

here and you choose edit profile, this

is where you can

describe it and give it specific

instructions so that this bot

collaborates with all the other bots to

run processes behind the scenes. So

again, this is very basic and the

purpose of it was get it installed in

your machine. My suggestion would for

the next steps would be to look online

how to configure specific bots to use it

for improving productivity.

Hopefully you found this helpful. I

suggest that you keep an eye on your

videos from this channel as I'll be

developing other ones as we move forward

with creating and utilizing bots from X

AI or other platforms as well.
