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.

- The app runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, and is available in Dutch too.
How to get started
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.
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.
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 copyGo 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.
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.
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 copyYes, go ahead and send the form.
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 copyMake this a routine: every Monday at 9 am. Always ask me before you send or buy anything.
Other tools that can do this
Safety tip
Do official things, banking and health matters yourself. Only give an agent access to what’s needed and sign out afterwards.
