This is for Grok Bot
Grok Bot is xAI's agent app (desktop and mobile). It's different from the regular Grok chat: Grok Bot can do jobs for you on a schedule and hand bigger jobs to helper agents. It's a paid app. Check current plans on xAI's site. Get Grok Bot (opens in a new tab)
What to expect
Once you give it the setup file, Grok Bot asks you questions, one at a time. Within about 10 minutes it shows you up to 5 real businesses that could become customers or send customers your way, each one checked, and a first draft. The full setup takes about 20 to 25 minutes. Then Grok Bot sets itself up as a small team, where each helper looks after one job. You approve everything before it goes out.

Important
Keep sensitive business data out of Grok Bot
We do not recommend connecting anything sensitive about your business to Grok Bot: client or patient records, financials, passwords, contracts or internal systems. Grok Bot is a third-party AI service; check the vendor's current data controls for the plan you pay for. For work that touches sensitive data, use private AI that runs under your control. That's what Automated Edge builds.
The ground rules
Safe by design
These rules are part of the playbook. Keep them in place as you make it your own.
- You approve every message that goes out under your name.
- No hookups to your customer database, no contact imports, no client or patient data.
- No passwords in chat. You handle sign-ins and captchas.
- No bought or scraped lists. Small email batches, a slow ramp-up and a pause on bounces.
- Grok Bot never opens LinkedIn, Reddit or Facebook. It drafts; you post or send.
- Free options first; it asks before paying for anything. No fake reviews, no made-up claims.
