How do I start using Grok Bot?
Real Grok Bot users have handed it to-do lists from the gym, had it check whether a photographed bill was paid, and had it compare and buy pet insurance after approval.
Steps
- Open Grok Bot on the web or your phone and connect only the accounts you need (email, calendar).
- Start with one real task, like triaging your inbox or checking a bill.
- Tell it to stop for your approval before it sends, buys or books anything.
- Review drafts and carts, then approve.
- Add standing preferences once so it remembers them.
Prompts
Here's my to-do list: [paste or dictate]. Turn it into a prioritized checklist, say which items you can do and which need me, and draft anything that needs sending. Don't send, buy or book anything until I approve the exact draft.
