Grok Bot is the absolute best AI agent

out there right now. If used correctly,

you will have an entire fleet of AI

agents working for you 24/7 365. In this

video, I'm going to show you how to set

it up so you get the absolute most

productivity from this incredible AI

agent. If you stick with me until the

end of the video, you will have an army

of AI agents taking care of your entire

life for you all around the clock. Now,

let's lock in and get into it. We're

going to cover everything in this video.

We're going to cover setting it up,

setting up your first bots, first use

cases, how I'm using it, should you rip

out Hermes agent or open claw or not.

But first, I just want to give you a

quick update on why this is such an

incredible AI agent. Feel free to skip

around down below if you want to get the

specific parts of the video. I've been

using Grok Bot literally non-stop for

the past week now, and I just can't get

enough of it. Every day I discover new

things, new ways to use it, better ways

to automate my life. And if this is your

first Grok Bot video you're watching,

this is what it looks like, by the way.

It's basically like this kind of

iMessage format where you have a list of

bots over on the left-hand side. These

are completely custom bots. You can name

them, give them whatever picture you

want, give them a title, description,

and they all work together as a team.

They communicate with each other, they

message each other, they have their own

tools. Each one has their own computer.

So, if you go to any of these agents,

you can actually see the computer they

can work on. These are fully working

computers. You can open up a browser,

use them any way you want. Each bot you

create has its own computer that lives

in the cloud. It doesn't need to live on

your computer, although it can control

your computer if you'd like. It's just a

really, really amazing, simple

experience. And because of this simple

experience, I'm able to get so much more

productivity done. But I'll go over this

in a sec. I'll go over how to set up

each of these bots, what you should name

them, what should they do, what role

should they be, what use cases you

should do. We'll go over that in a

second, but here's the reason why it's

so good. It is by far the best out of

the box experience for an AI agent ever.

You literally just open it up, you

download it, you install it, you have

your first bot, and you just get to

work. You don't have to choose models,

you don't have to choose anything. It

just out of the box works. And I think

for a majority of people out there, this

is the ideal experience. This is how AI

agents should work. You shouldn't need

to configure a hundred different things,

give it a hundred different permissions,

choose a different model for every

single thing it does, choose a hundred

different tools. It should just work.

Grok Bot is the only AI agent I've used

that just straight up works. It has

extremely opinionated workflows, more so

than basically any other AI tool I've

used in the world. What does that mean,

extremely opinionated workflows?

Basically, it's gotten rid of most of

the customization that every other AI

tool gives you. For instance, with

Hermes, you can choose whatever model

you want. You can choose if it works in

the cloud or if it works locally. You

can choose if it uses sub-agents. You

can choose the thinking level. You can

choose the context window. You write

everything you do as a hundred different

choices you can make on how it does it.

Not with Grok Bot. With Grok Bot, it has

an opinion on how you should do things.

It doesn't let you edit all those

things. It decides what's the best way

to do things and does it that way. I

think this is a supremely better way to

use AI tools. 95% of people that use AI

tools don't want to think about which

model and context window and thinking

level to do absolutely everything they

do. They just want to give it a task and

then it does the task the best way.

That's how Grok Bot works. It's

opinionated about everything. Every

other AI tool, oh, should I do this in

the cloud? Should I do it locally?

Should I do it in the terminal? Should I

do it in the desktop app? Grok Bot just

decides no, we are going to do

everything inside this virtual machine.

Everything these bots do will be on

their own computer. And that kind of

opinionated workflow makes using Grok

Bot so much simpler. It's cloud agent

first. Again, as I said, everything

happens in the cloud computer. I'm going

to be honest, at first I wasn't a huge

fan going into this. I just want all the

work done on my computer. Why do I want

everything done on the cloud? That feels

like there's like separation between me

and what the bots are doing. But after

using Grok Bot for the last week, and

after all the work getting done in the

cloud, I love it. I'm cloud pilled.

There's this natural security

separation. There's this natural scoping

that happens when everything happens in

the cloud. I don't have to worry about

my bots having access to accounts they

shouldn't have access to. If I want a

bot to manage a certain account, I just

go on to their virtual computer and log

in for them. I don't have to worry about

them getting access to the wrong things.

So, I'm 100% cloud pilled now. Zero

config, as I said, you never decide

which model to use, you never decide

reasoning levels, none of that. Hermes,

you have 100 drop downs for every single

thing you do. With with Codex,

everything has 100 different drop downs

to configure how to do things. None of

that exists here. It's multi-agent

first. Again, I didn't know I needed

this, but after using it, now I know I

need it. By default, every agent

messages the other agent when it has

work to do. What I mean by that is, if

I'm talking to my building agent, my

coding agent, and I'm talking about,

"Oh, can you code this thing that I

tweeted about the other day?" It'll be,

"Okay, yeah, let me check in with your

content agent and see what you tweeted

about." Right? It's by default thinks,

"Okay, who can I talk to to get the best

context from them?" And so, you'll just

be using your bots, and you'll see, "Oh,

this bot messages bot. This bot messages

this bot." And they all talk to each

other just kind of by default, which is

really amazing. This is like a thing you

have to turn on with your other agents.

With Grok Bot, it's just default.

Really, at the end of the day, why it's

so great is it just works with very

little setup, with very little config,

it just works, and that's what makes

Grok Bot so good. All right, so let's

get into setting it up. So, we're going

to cover first things you should do in

Grok Bot. We're going to cover which

bots you should set up. We'll cover a

couple different use cases. I'll cover

everything I'm doing inside of my Grok

Bot just maybe as a little inspiration

for you. Then we'll cover, should you

rip out Hermes, what should you leave

for Hermes, what should you leave for

Open Claw, how do those two live

together? Let's get straight into setup

here. So, when you start your Grok Bot

experience, you will have one bot. I

recommend making this your CEO, your

chief of staff. You right-click it, you

pin it to the top so it's always at the

top. Then I would go into edit profile,

and I would give it the title Chief of

Staff, CEO, whatever you want. Here's

why you want like a CEO Chief of Staff

bot, because makes the entire Grok Bot

experience far simpler. You're going to

end up as you go adding more and more

bots on your left-hand side here, right?

And there's nothing wrong with that.

You're allowed to have I've seen people

like literally like a hundred bots.

You're allowed to have a lot of bots.

There's nothing wrong with that. But it

might get annoying if you have to scroll

through hundreds of bots and choose

which one to talk to. That's why you

want a CEO bot. Because the

agent-to-agent communication between the

different agents is so good, you can

just rely on talking to just one bot and

allowing them to distribute the work, to

delegate the work. It'll figure out

which bots have the right tools, the

right plugins, the right context, the

right roles, and then delegate that work

to the correct bots. So, yeah, sometimes

I still do talk directly to some of my

other bots, but most of the time I just

go to Slate and I say, "Hey, here's what

I want to get done. Determine who should

be doing this work." And like, "Oh,

that's coding work. I'll give it to

Build. Oh, that's this work. Oh, that's

Oh, you're sending an email. I'm going

to give that to Cindy." And it just

makes it much easier for you to work

with. Also, by the way, a majority of

people I see using Grok Bot just like

make the names of each of their bot like

content, email, coding, right? That's

like the name of all their bots. I

highly recommend against that. I've been

saying this for a long time. I think fun

should be like a big part of using AI.

Like, I think you should be having fun

when using AI. It'll make you use it

more. It'll help you be more productive.

It'll just give you more joy as you use

these tools. I find it a lot more fun

when you give your bots like real names.

Now, there's a couple exceptions here.

Last 30 days is a skill for my friend

Matt Van Horn. We'll talk about that in

a second. That just That set the name by

itself. Build, okay, that's not exactly

a human name, but I'm going to change

that soon. But, everything else is real

names. It's a lot more fun when you're

talking your bots, and it feels like

you're talking to a human being. So, as

you set up these bots, I'd recommend

giving them like real human names. It's

just going to be a lot more fun. You're

going to enjoy the process. So, when

you're setting up your CEO bot, give it

whatever name you want. The title is

what shows up next in the name. So,

that's it's going to allow you to give

it like human names, and then you can

look at the title to see what it is. If

you name your bot like coder, it's just

boring. But, if you give it a real name,

and then you make the title like your

CTO, then you can know what it is very

easily by looking at your side here.

Then, the description is basically the

context that gets sent with every

prompt, right? This is like the system

prompt to the bot. You can start off

with like a basic description of CEO for

whoever you are. I'm going to go in a

second and show you the easiest way to

set up these descriptions, the bots, and

all that. But, just want to make sure

your first bot you have you pin it to

the top, give it a nice name, one you

won't mind seeing over and over again.

Don't name it after your ex-boyfriend or

your ex-girlfriend, and then title it

your chief of staff. Once that's set up,

we're going to go into a world-famous

process I invented and talk about all

the time, which is the brain dump to

reverse prompt process. So, this is the

first thing I do with every single AI

tool I get my hands on, every single AI

agent I set up, the brain dump to

reverse prompt. This makes it so you

don't have to think about setup. The AI

does all of the thinking and setting up

for you. So, step one, brain dump, you

tell the agent all about yourself. We're

going to go into all our passions,

goals, ambitions, what we want to get

rid of in our lives, what we want to do

more of in our lives. You just brain

dump it all in. Right after this, we're

going to do the reverse prompt, which

is, "Hey, what can you do for me? How

would you set yourself up? What bots

would you create? What routines would

you create? Basically, say, based on

everything you know about me, what's the

best way you can help me out?" So, for

the first, put in your brain dump, "I'm

Alex Finn. I'm the founder and CEO of

Creator Buddy and Henry Intelligent

Machines. I'm an entrepreneur and

content creator. I have a YouTube

channel and X account that talks about

AI. I also have the Vibe Coding Academy,

the number one AI community on the

internet. By the way, join that. Full

boot camp on Grok Bot coming up. Join,

be a part of that. You'll learn a ton.

Link down below. You hit enter on that,

your new CEO is going to learn all about

you. Then you do the reverse prompt I

talked about. "Based on what you know

about me, how would you set up Grok Bot?

Which bots should we set up? What should

be their roles, responsibilities, and

routines? How can we maximize our

productivity as much as possible?" Then

you hit enter on that, and it's going to

recommend a bunch of bots to set up. The

glorious thing about Grok Bot is it can

control itself. So, you can say, "That's

great, set all those up for me, and then

your CEO bot will go and actually create

the bots, give the names, give the

descriptions, the titles, and all that,

and you'll be good to go. That will give

you a base of where to start with. There

are many other things you want to do

here. So, I'm about to go through the

plugins, the tools you need, we'll go

through routines a little bit, and then

I'll show you everything I'm doing so

you can get inspired by some of these

use cases and set them up for yourself.

This plugin section in the bottom left

here, this is basically like your MCPs,

your tools, all that. They just put them

all in one place, which is really,

really smart. Again, simplification,

just making things work out of the box.

There's some basic ones you want to set

up, kind of self-explanatory, Gmail and

Google Calendar. I'd also highly

recommend setting up X so you can pull

posts very, very easily from X. It is

great with social media content. But,

here's the one I've actually liked the

most, and this is one I highly recommend

you set up yourself, and that is Agent

Mail. We are not sponsored by Agent

Mail. I just discovered them like 3 days

ago, but it has made my you do the same

thing here. Set up Agent Mail, it's

completely free. You

get like three free inboxes with the

free tier. But, here's how I'd use it.

Basically, what Agent Mail does is give

your AI agents their own email address,

like their own inbox, their own email

address, everything really, really

easily. It's way better than setting up

Gmail, cuz when you set up new Gmail

accounts, there's so much security and

backup and and all this like complexity.

Agent Mail, you literally just sign up,

and like 10 seconds, you have a an inbox

for all your agents. But, we're going to

use this inbox that you create with

Agent Mail for all your agents so that

when you invite them to your different

accounts, they can just have their own

account. You don't need to share your

own accounts with them. So, for

instance, Dusty is my community manager

for the Vibe Coding Academy. Dusty

answers people's posts, helps them out

with technical questions, sends them DMs

when they have questions, gives them

recommendations for things to build,

does a whole lot of amazing things. But,

I don't have Dusty logged into my admin

account in the Vibe Coding Academy in

school. I invited Dusty to his own

account. So, as you can see here, this

is Dusty's computer. Inside of the

computer, I have invited Dusty, his

Agent Mail email, to my community, and I

made him a moderator. Now, he can do

anything in my community he wants

through his own computer. So, I don't

give the bots my accounts, I don't give

the bots access to anything. Everything

is done through their own email address.

You just invite them to your team on

whatever apps you're using, and then you

give them whatever permissions they

need. This is a way more secure way of

interacting with your bots, giving them

accounts, things like that. It keeps

things separated, and using Agent Mail

made it like a hundred times easier.

Again, we're not sponsored. I've never

talked to anyone from Agent Mail in my

entire life. I just discovered them over

the weekend. It just made working with

my bots so much easier cuz they have now

their own accounts. I can just say,

"Hey, I invited you to my community

through your Agent Mail account. Go

accept it, and now you're a moderator,

and go do things in there." And it just

works, and it does it. So, Agent Mail,

very important plugin everyone should be

installing. If you do any sort of coding

work, which I assume you do if you're

watching this channel, Vercel plugin's a

must-have, makes it super easy for your

bots to push code to Vercel, update your

projects, things like that. So, also add

Vercel as a plugin right here, too. One

really cool thing about plugins as well,

and the way Waking Rock Bot handles

things, is plugins are basically

everything, right? As I said earlier,

they're MCPs, they're also skills. So, I

install skills, and they go into your

plugins as well. So, this is a really

cool way to manage all your skills,

MCPs, plugins, everything in one place.

I really recommend the last 30-day

skill. This is made by my friend Matt

Van Horn. It is like the best

researching skill out there. I'll leave

a link to it down below. Basically, the

way it works is you can give a topic or

a subject and it uses like the API for

every single social media site on planet

Earth. It like reverse engineered all

the APIs and gives you a rundown of what

people are saying, how they're using it,

the latest news, all of that. And it's

like the best deep research when it

comes to trends I've ever done. So, last

30-day skill, get that installed as

well. It just makes like the research

from your agent so much better. I'm

having a research cursor origin now,

which is Cursor's GitHub competitor. If

you want a video on that, let me know

down below if you're interested. Also,

let me know down below what parts of

Grokbot you're really interested in.

I'll do like deep dive videos. Do you

guys want like a super duper use case

video? I'll do that next if you want.

Let me know down below. Also, leave a

like, subscribe, and turn on

notifications if you learned anything at

all so far. All I do is make amazing

videos about AI. Join the Finn Fam. Hit

subscribe down below. Tons of amazing

videos coming out very, very soon. So,

we talked about initial setup, reverse

prompting, brain dumping. We talked

about the skills and plugins you need

installed. What I'm going to do now is

I'll go through my use cases. I'll go

through my bots right here. You can go

ahead and steal any my use cases I'm

doing or maybe just inspires you on

different things you can be doing with

Grokbot as well. So, the first bot I use

a ton is Build. Build is like my network

administrator/coder.

Basically, does all my technical work

for me. If you're anything like me, you

have a bunch of different devices. Maybe

you have your iPhone, your iPad, you

have a computer, maybe a Mac Mini, maybe

you have other computers on top of that.

Build is my network administrator. I

gave it access to my Tailscale network.

All you need to do is say, "Hey, my

network's on Tailscale. Please access

it." If you have multiple computers,

highly recommend setting up Tailscale as

well. Basically, lets your AI agents go

across all your devices and do whatever

it needs across them. But, for instance,

I had build my technical bot go last

night install Qwen 3827B

on my 5090 computer. Then, it built a

game for me right here on my Mac Studio

using that model that was running

locally on my 5090. So, it can go across

any of my devices, manage any of them,

load models up, build apps, do any sort

of coding. It's hooked into Vercel, so

it can see all my code bases, all my

projects I'm working on. I have a like a

personal operating system I maintain. I

needed a little fix in it today. I went

to Bill. I said, "Hey, in my personal

operating system, can you edit this?"

It's basically like my CTO. Anytime I

need to do any technical work at all, I

go to Bill, and it works really well.

The reason why like this is better than

having like one mono agent that just

handles everything is Bill just has

context just around my technical work,

just around my computers, how things are

set up in my projects. That's it. Like,

the description has just describes my

projects and computers. So, when we give

it prompts and we tell it to do things,

it only has to pull from a very small

description, from a very small context.

When you have one agent doing

everything, doing your programming, your

content, this and that, its skills, its

description, its system prompt is

massive. And the bigger the system

prompt gets for an agent, the slower it

becomes, the more expensive it becomes,

and the stupider it becomes. This is the

beauty of the architecture of Grok Bot

is all your skills, all your description

system prompts are split up nicely

between bots. So, when you message the

right bot, it's quick, it's cheap, it's

easy because it just knows what it needs

to know. Just the system prompt it needs

to know, just the role it needs to know,

the tools it needs to know. That's it,

nothing else. That's why this

architecture of Grok Bot is so great.

Then we have Barry. Barry is my content

engine. Barry keeps me up-to-date on

trends, breaking AI news. It's always

watching X for me, looking for breaking

news and things like that. Barry has

access to X API. Barry does a few things

for me. One is it helps me write all my

newsletters. Newsletters take a long

time to write. Barry helps me write

them. It takes my posts, my YouTube

videos, repurposes them into newsletters

for me. It also keeps an eye on any AI

major products, right? So, this is

another routine here. We didn't really

cover this too much. Routines are

basically just your cron jobs. You can

reverse prompt your routines as well. Go

to Agent, "Hey, what are the best

routines we can set up?" It'll set up

the routines as well. Every 30 minutes

from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., Barry goes

and checks the SpaceX Twitter account.

It checks Anthropic, it checks OpenAI,

and it sees if they made any new major

releases recently, and then lets me know

about it, which is amazing. As you can

see, SpaceX AI just shipped a warp

connector inside Grok. Live now. Boom, I

get that breaking news the moment it

happens. So, even if you're not into

content, I still recommend having a

Barry of your own that just keeps an eye

on X and lets you know the moment new

things happen. Then we have Dusty, who

we talked about a little earlier. Dusty

is my vibe coding academy moderator.

Anytime someone posts a technical

question that'd be appropriate for an AI

to answer, Dusty answers it. People

aren't as engaged after a few days after

they join, Dusty will message them and

say, "Hey, here's a few ideas based on

my research about you of things you can

build." And Dusty just keeps people

engaged, keeps things moving, posts new

AI news in the community every day. It

just takes so much work off my plate.

And because I invited Dusty through that

Agent Mail account, it's a moderator. It

can do whatever it wants. It doesn't

have admin access cuz it's not using my

account, but Dusty has his own account.

If you need any sort of community

management, Grockbot is like the perfect

candidate for that. Cindy is my revenue

ops. Cindy's basic job is monitoring my

email and finding sponsorship

opportunities and then replying to

people. My number one pet peeve in life,

I don't know what it is. I don't know if

there's something wrong with me. I

absolutely hate email. I hate email.

When I get a pop-up on my phone there's

an email for me, I get like anxious.

Like I hate it. I hate getting emails. I

hate reading emails. I hate replying to

emails. The downside of this is I don't

get many sponsorships because that. I

get hundreds of emails a day from

companies trying to sponsor my videos. I

don't reply to any of them just cuz I

hate email so much. Cindy does that for

me. So Cindy's hooked into my business

account. Cindy goes through the hundreds

of emails I get a day, researches who's

emailing me, if they're legit, if

they're just a scam. By the way, if you

get into YouTube making videos, you're

going to get 40,000 scam emails a day.

Be careful out there. But Cindy

researches who's a scammer, who's real,

and at the end of the day gives me a

spreadsheet of the legit opportunities

that might be real sponsorship

opportunities. So Cindy is amazing. If

you're anything like me, you hate email,

set up a bot to monitor whatever email

account's important to you when it comes

to business, and alert you when

important business emails come in. Get

yourself a Cindy. And then I have Reed.

Reed is my last bot right now. Reed is

my experimenter. I have Reed go and

experiment on the internet all day. Like

this is going to sound a little strange,

but I have Reed go and run experiments,

finding what people are saying online,

build products based on what they're

saying, post those products online to

see if people click it, use it, see

where there's demand. I basically have

Reed go out finding demands, running

experiments, seeing what people are into

on the internet. Reed's kind of like my

go-to guy for just finding business

opportunities online. Slate manages

Reed, so I don't go to Reed and say,

"Hey, do this, do that." I just tell

Slate, "Hey, have Reed try different

things out and see if there's different

business opportunities online." Then

Slate just watches Reed do all those

things all day. So, he's kind of my

experimenter. These are my main use

cases right now. Based on those bots I

showed you, I can manage like 90% of my

business. I'm coming up with new bots

all the time. So, if you stick with the

channel, you subscribe down below, I'm

this is the first of many Grok bot

videos I'm going to do. So, you'll see

how my setup evolves over time. So, I'm

going to be adding way more bots to

this. Hermes versus Grok bot, which

should you use, which should you rip

out? These are two different agents.

It's not one or the other. It isn't

Hermes this or Grok bot that. Hermes is

a completely customizable agent running

on any model. I can do anything you

want. I load up Qwen 38 on my 5090

computer, it's now powering my Hermes,

right? Cuz Hermes is fully customizable.

I can't change models in Grok bot. You

could only use Grok for Grok bot. So,

there's still going to be things you

need to do that require customization,

that require cheaper models, require

your agent going and doing things on

your computer, tinkering, changing

things around. That's where Hermes comes

in. That's what I would use Hermes for.

But for basic day-to-day knowledge work,

Grok bot's the goat right now. Grok bot

is the best way to do it. So, I do not

recommend ripping out Hermes. Keep

Hermes. Use it for cheaper models. Use

it for changing things on your computer,

doing admin things on your computer,

things that require deep customization.

And then use Grok bot for your general

knowledge work. I'm absolutely loving

Grok bot. I'm sure you are too if you

started using it. I hope this was

helpful. Let me know down below what you

want my next video to be about. Any

aspects, Grok Bot, use cases, things

like that. Let me know. Hope this was

helpful. I'll see you in the next video.
