8## Give each Bot a clear job

10Create a separate Bot when the work has a distinct:

11 

12* Goal or area of ownership

13* Set of tools and sources

14* Working style

15* Approval boundary

16* Recurring schedule

17 

18Jobs like **Talent Scout**, **Expense Manager**, and **Bug Reproduction** give a

19Bot guidance and make its saved context reusable; a **General Helper** does

20neither.

21 

22Describe the role in operational terms:

23 

24> Own the weekly account-health review. Pull product usage and support signals,

25> flag evidence of churn or expansion, and produce a linked watch list for the

26> customer-success team. Never contact a customer or change an account without

27> approval.

275## Organize a team of Bots255[Build a team of Bots for a bigger goal](/grok-bot/use-cases#build-a-team-of-bots-for-a-bigger-goal).

276 

277Start with the smallest useful roster:

278 

2791. Give one Bot ownership of an end-to-end outcome.

2802. Add another Bot only when the work has a stable specialist role.

2813. Put Bots in a [group chat](/grok-bot/chat-and-collaboration) when the handoff itself

282 needs to be visible.

2834. Keep external actions behind a clear approval boundary.

284 

285For example, a Website Launch group might include a launch coordinator, a

286content editor, and an analytics reviewer. The coordinator can assign work,

287while the group preserves the handoffs in one conversation.

3# How Grok Bot Works

4 

5Grok Bot is your AI teammate with a computer. Each Bot works in your apps and on

6a computer in the cloud, so it keeps working while you're away.

7 

8Bots can use other services through plugins and custom MCP servers. They can

9also hand coding work to Cursor Cloud Agents and attach the results to their

10reply.

11 

12This page explains how Grok Bot works by following one common request from

13start to finish. Say you have a Bot for your travel and expenses, and you send

14it this:

15 

16> Sign me up for the same conference as last year and expense it.

17 

181. **Remembers last year's pass and the card to use** — Memory.

19 

202. **Finds last year's receipt** — Gmail.

21 

223. **Signs in and buys the pass** — Computer, Secure Form, and Vault.

23 

244. **Asks you before it emails the receipt to finance** — Auto Review.

25 

265. **Logs the expense and reports back** — Google Drive.

27 

28## 1. It checks its memory

29 

30Your message doesn't say which conference, which pass, or which card to use.

31Your expenses Bot fills in those details from memory. Its work log has last

32year's 2-day pass, and you gave it a rule to use the work card for conferences.

33Ask what it used, and it shows you.

34 

35Each Bot has its own memory. It keeps your preferences, the rules you ask it to

36follow, and a dated log of its work. A few facts about you, like your name and

37time zone, are shared by all your Bots.

38 

39* **Shared by all your Bots** — About you: Your name and time zone.

40 

41* **Your expenses Bot** — Rules: Use the work card for conferences. Work log: Bought last year's 2-day pass, $749.

42 

43* **Your primary Bot** — Preferences: Keep morning briefs short. Work log: Drafted your offsite agenda.

44 

45So you only have to say something once. Tell any Bot your time zone, and all

46your Bots know it. Tell your expenses Bot where receipts go, and only that Bot

47knows it.

48 

49A Bot decides on its own what to remember. You can also ask it to remember

50something, fix it, or forget it. Memories can go out of date, so for numbers

51that change, like prices, ask the Bot to look them up again. Keep logins and

52cards out of memory and in [Vault](/grok-bot/vault). See

53[What a Bot remembers](/grok-bot/bots#what-a-bot-remembers).

54 

55## 2. It finds last year's receipt in Gmail

56 

57Next, the Bot searches Gmail for last year's receipt. Gmail is a connected app,

58so the Bot works in it directly instead of opening the website. That's more

59reliable than clicking through pages in a browser.

60 

61### Add your own tools

62 

63If an app isn't in the catalog, ask a Bot to connect the app's MCP server, the

64standard way AI tools connect to a service. If the service has an API but no MCP

65server, [tinkabot](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/tinkabot) can build one. It

66wraps the API in a plugin with an MCP server and skills, tests it, and publishes

67it only when you say so. See

68[Connect an app](/grok-bot/computer-and-apps#connect-an-app).

69 

70## 3. It signs in and buys the pass

71 

72The conference site has no app, so the Bot opens it in a browser on its cloud

73computer. All your Bots share that computer. It also has a command line and

74files that stay between tasks. Each Bot gets its own screen, so several Bots can

75work at once, and you can watch any screen live. When one Bot signs in to a

76site, your other Bots are signed in too.

77 

78The site asks for a password. The Bot looks for a login in this order:

79 

801. **Vault** — Logins you saved for your Bots

81 

822. **1Password** — Logins you approve in 1Password

83 

843. **Secure Form** — Asks you, then fills the page directly

85 

86For this site, neither Vault nor 1Password has a login, so the Bot sends a Secure Form.

87 

88Whichever one it uses, the login goes straight into the page, and your Bot never

89sees it.

90 

91To pay, the Bot uses the work card you saved in Vault. A saved card fills in at

92checkout without asking you each time, and the Bot never sees the number. If

93you'd rather approve every payment, don't save the card. See

94[Pay for things](/grok-bot/vault#pay-for-things).

95 

96If a task needs an API key, the Bot sends you a secure secret card. The key

97stays hidden and out of the chat.

98 

99Some steps need you, like single sign-on, a passkey, or a CAPTCHA the Bot can't

100solve. For those, the Bot hands you the computer. Choose **Open computer** on

101the request, then **Take control**. Finish that step, and tell the Bot to

102continue. See [Vault and secure sign-in](/grok-bot/vault) and

103[Connect 1Password](/grok-bot/computer-and-apps#connect-1password).

104 

105## 4. It asks before it emails finance

106 

107With the pass bought, the Bot is ready to email the receipt to finance. You made

108a rule to approve emails first, so it stops and asks you.

109 

110Before a Bot runs a command, uses an app, or acts on its computer, Auto Review

111checks the action. Auto Review is on by default, and most actions go ahead on

112their own. When one needs you, the Bot shows an approval card with the action

113and its details, then waits.

114 

115You can add your own rules too. In **Settings → General**, under **Bot**, open

116**Custom Rules**. Describe an action in plain words, like “send an email,” and

117choose **Ask first** or **Allow automatically**. An **Ask first** rule always

118stops a matching action. That's the rule that stopped this email.

119 

120A card stopped by an **Ask first** rule shows **Edit rule**, which opens your

121Custom Rules. Other cards can show **Always allow**, which saves a rule so

122similar actions run on their own next time.

123 

124Only your own messages count as instructions. Say the conference page had hidden

125text telling the Bot to email your contacts. Auto Review wouldn't treat that as

126a request from you. These checks lower the risk from harmful content, but they

127don't remove it. Keep **Ask first** rules on anything you can't undo. See

128[Configure Auto Review](/grok-bot/approvals-security-and-privacy#configure-auto-review).

129 

130## 5. It logs the expense and reports back

131 

132Last, the Bot adds the expense to your Finance sheet in Google Drive, another

133connected app. Then it replies with everything it did. If you've closed your

134laptop by then, it keeps going and notifies you when it's done.

135 

136The chat shows each step as the Bot works, from your message to its reply.

137 

138## Security

139 

140Your expenses Bot did all of this as you. A Bot has no account or credentials of

141its own, so it can't do anything you couldn't, and every action traces back to

142you. The one exception is a connector your team manages, which can use team or

143service-account credentials.

144 

145* **Your Bots' computer** — All your Bots work here and share its files and browser sign-ins.

146 

147Never shown to your Bots:

148 

149* **App sign-ins** — They stay on Cursor's servers. Bots use your apps without ever getting them.

150 

151* **Vault** — Saved logins and cards fill into the page without your Bot seeing them.

152 

153Your Bots aren't separated from each other. Your other Bots are now signed in to

154the conference site too, and they can use the work card in Vault. Sign out of

155services a Bot no longer needs, and delete sensitive files when the work is

156done. Enterprise teams can also set a network policy and inference hooks. See

157[Grok Bot security](/grok-bot/security).

158 

159## Your primary Bot and Bots with one job

160 

161Most Bots work best with one clear job, like your expenses Bot. Your

162[primary Bot](/grok-bot/bots#your-primary-bot) is different. It's your main

163point of contact. It checks in with you on its own and coordinates your other

164Bots. You could send the conference request to your primary Bot, and it could

165pass the work to your expenses Bot.

166 

167Start new work with your primary Bot. When the same kind of request keeps coming

168back with its own sources, rules, or schedule, give it its own Bot, or ask your

169primary Bot to create one. A Bot with one job builds up memory for that job, so

170you only explain it once.

171 

172## Best practices

173 

174* Start in your primary Bot. Give work its own Bot when it has its own sources,

175 schedule, or approval needs. To set up several Bots at once, start from

176 [dr eggbot](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/dr-eggbot-v2).

177* Ask a Bot to remember rules that last. Put the details of a single task in

178 your message.

179* For numbers that change, like prices or budgets, ask the Bot to look them up

180 instead of relying on memory.

181* Connect an app for each service you use often. If a service has no app, add

182 its MCP server, or have

183 [tinkabot](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/tinkabot) build one from its

184 API.

185* Never paste a secret into a chat. Passwords go through Vault, 1Password, or a

186 Secure Form. Cards go through Vault or a Secure Form. API keys go through a

187 secure secret card.

188* Get a task working once and

189 [save it as a skill](/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations#save-a-skill).

190 Then [create a routine](/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations#create-a-routine)

191 that runs it on a schedule or when something happens, like a Slack message or

192 an email to your Bot.

193* Add specific **Ask first** rules for sending, publishing, and deleting. To

194 approve every payment, don't save the card in Vault.

195* Treat anything on the computer as available to all your Bots.

196* In a [group chat](/grok-bot/chat-and-collaboration), make one Bot responsible

197 for each step.

198 

199- [dr eggbot](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/dr-eggbot-v2) — Asks you a few questions, then sets up the Bots for you, one job each.

200 

201* [tinkabot](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/tinkabot) — Wraps an API in a plugin made of an MCP server and skills, tests it, and publishes it only when you say so.

11You work with a Bot by messaging it. Type, dictate, or start a voice chat.

12Give it a task, the relevant context, and access to the tools it needs. It

13takes on multi-step work across apps and websites, keeps you updated in the

14conversation, and comes back when something needs your approval.

15 

16Grok Bot runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. On The X

17Subscription, it's included with Premium, Super, and Ultra, for individuals and

18team seats. On a legacy Cursor plan, it's included with every paid individual

19plan and with Cursor Teams. You can also link an individual SuperGrok,

20SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, or X Premium+ subscription, or sign in with a

21seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan. See

31 computer use for everything else, and work continues while your laptop is

32 closed.

33* **Setup is a message, not a workflow builder.** Create a Bot, describe the

34 job, and grant access as it asks. The same Bot is reachable from the desktop

35 app and the [iPhone and Android apps](/grok-bot/mobile).

36* **Bots coordinate with each other.** Your Bots can run in parallel, message

37 each other, share context in

38 [group chats](/grok-bot/chat-and-collaboration#start-a-group-chat), and pass

39 ownership of a task, so you aren't the router between tools.

40* **Bots learn workflows from demonstration.** Walk a Bot through a multi-step

41 path once, and it can save the path as a

42 [skill](/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations) and rerun it on a schedule.

43* **Context compounds.** A named Bot keeps its memory, files, browser sessions,

44 and preferences across sessions instead of resetting on every task.

45 23 

46## Your Bots share one computer24Chat is the main interface for Grok Bot, but you can also start a voice call or

25send a voice note. Bots work best when you connect them with the tools you use

26every day: Slack, Notion, Drive, Teams, and more. Grok Bot supports custom

27tooling, so it can interact with any MCP or API.

47 28 

48All of your Bots use the same cloud computer, sharing its files, browser29* **Google Drive** — Draft from what’s already there. Reads the briefs and past decks in a folder, drafts the next one in your format, and leaves it in Drive for your edits.

49sessions, and app logins, which makes handoffs work without repeating setup. The

50computer belongs to your account, not to an individual Bot, so treat anything

51placed on it as available to every Bot you run; between users, isolation is

52strict. [The computer and apps](/grok-bot/computer-and-apps) covers the full

53model. When you chat with a teammate's [shared Bot](/grok-bot/shared-bots), it

54usually works on your computer too.
