Grok Bot is the machine that does the work ACCESS AND INSTALL - Official bot (Aug 26): All SuperGrok and Cursor Pro subscribers now have access - Testers quoting SpaceXAI (cb_doge): SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Pro, Cursor Pro+, Cursor Ultra, Cursor Teams Standard and Premium - Cursor CEO Michael Truell: everyone with a standard Grok or Cursor subscription - Testers: included at no extra cost with those plans;

that only shapes teammate suggestions - Computer setup runs in the background, then Meet a future teammate opens CREATE A BOT - New in the sidebar, or Cmd/Ctrl+N - In New chat, choose Create new agent - Edit Profile: name, title, description, avatar - Give a short name, one primary job, and how it should work - Description = standing rules (never send without approval) - Chat messages = this-task instructions (draft follow-ups for these 12 accounts) - Focused Bots beat one catch-all General Helper - Testers (XFreeze): do not design a Bot from scratch; ask a Bot to create a capable one for you (it already has your context) - Bookmark testers: start with about six roles; give each Bot recurring work - Pin important Bots; hide unused ones (hiding does not pause routines) - Bookmark testers: resize the sidebar, give titles, and group Bots into sections - Duplicate a Bot to reuse a role for a new scope (copy does not include memory or history) - Delete only if you are sure;

testers still list voice mode, BYOK, multiplayer, hang-error messages, and a real iPad app as missing HOW TO WRITE A TASK - Outcome: what should be finished - Sources: which apps, sites, files, or chats matter - Constraints: what it must not do, or must ask first - Deliverable: what it should return - Review point: when it should stop for you - Safe first task: attach a file and ask for a cited summary; do not change the file - Next task: one real tool, read-only, with a sign-in handoff if needed - After a good result, name the lasting format preference in chat - Then save it as a skill or routine - Official bot examples: email cleanup, Starlink-likely flights, build a site then buy the domain and deploy, meeting notes, sales prospecting, refunds, podcast audio digest - Testers: paste a viral video link and ask the Bot to recreate it - Testers: start from an org chart or make one Bot the boss of a repo, not a long to-do list - Testers: one clear job, explicit allowed sources, no-guessing rule, approval gate before any real action - Testers: 5 calibrations — confidence threshold, checkpoint long tasks, show negative examples, gate destructive actions separately, test edge cases first - Testers: one Bot, one job — two jobs claimed worse at both; put recurring work on a schedule - Testers quoting claimed SpaceXAI employee: version prompts and tool configs like code; scratchpad separate from the user-facing answer; retry with a different strategy; measure cost per successful outcome; review failure logs on a schedule - Testers (mvanhorn): Compound Engineering — force a plan first; three-layer instructions (base, role, current focus); screenshot instead of retyping what's on screen;
