Hand off your first task to Grok Bot

Grok Bot is an AI assistant with its own computer in the cloud. It browses, fills in websites and prepares emails. Before important steps it asks for your OK. Here’s how to start, calmly and safely.

  • ToolGrok Bot (by xAI)
  • CostPaid: included in the Premium plan, 30 dollars a month (excl. VAT)
  • TimeAbout 15 minutes

What’s in it for you?

  • It works on its own computer, so your laptop can be closed. The work just carries on.
  • It remembers how you like things done and can repeat a task every week as a routine.
  • It can get its own email address (…@mail.grokbot.com). You approve every email it wants to send.
  • The app runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, and is available in Dutch too.

How to get started

  1. Download the app

    Go to x.ai/bot (type the address yourself) and download the app for your computer or smartphone. Choose a plan that includes Grok Bot: Premium or higher. The cheaper Plus plan doesn’t include Grok Bot.

  2. Your first Bot is ready

    When you start, the app creates your first Bot for you. You talk to it like a colleague: type, dictate or start a voice chat.

  3. Start with something small

    Pick a task with a clear end, without paying or sending. For example filling in a form that you check yourself.

    Instruction to copy

    Go to [sports club website] and find out how I sign up for [activity]. Fill in the form with these details: [name, email, phone]. Do NOT click send yet. Show me what you filled in first.

  4. Watch or take over

    You can watch the Bot’s screen. Is a sign-in needed? The Bot asks for it through a secure form, or you briefly take over its screen. Never just type your password or code into the chat.

  5. Approve or adjust

    All correct? Then tell it to send. Not right? Say what should change. Before anything it can’t undo, such as sending, buying or deleting, the Bot asks for your OK first.

    Instruction to copy

    Yes, go ahead and send the form.

  6. Turn it into a routine (if you like)

    Does a task come back every week? Ask the Bot to make it a routine. It runs on a fixed schedule, even when your laptop is closed. Test it once while you watch.

    Instruction to copy

    Make this a routine: every Monday at 9 am. Always ask me before you send or buy anything.
