Grok Bot tutorial: first Bot in under an hour

Key takeaways

• Confirm plan eligibility before downloading.
• Start with one boring, high-frequency job.
• Teach, then schedule a review queue. Do not start with "run my company."

Prerequisites

1. An eligible subscription: SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, or Cursor Teams Premium (Premium seats for team Bot allowance).
2. Desktop (macOS called out at launch) and/or iOS.
3. One workflow you can demonstrate in under 15 minutes.

Step-by-step

1. Confirm access

Open the Grok Bot app or download from the launch path on x.ai. If you are on Free / SuperGrok / SuperGrok Plus only, upgrade or use an eligible Cursor plan first.

2. Create one specialist Bot

Name it for the job ("Invoice triage"). Give it a one-paragraph charter: goal, tools it may use, and what it must never do.

3. Hand off a single task with a stop condition

Example: "Triage unread invoices in Gmail from the last 7 days. Draft a summary table. Do not pay or reply."

4. Teach the routine

Run the happy path once while asking the Bot to watch. Correct naming, folders, and tone. Save the routine.

5. Add a second Bot only after the first is boring

Create a coordinator or a sibling lane. Tell the new Bot to ask the first Bot for prior context instead of pasting a novel.

6. Set a human review cadence

Morning: approve draft queue. Midday: exceptions only. End of day: kill stuck jobs and note failures.

Safety checklist

• Prefer review-first for anything customer-facing.
• Assume Bots on one cloud computer can share session state; do not treat that as a hard security boundary.
• Watch on-demand usage after the weekly allowance.
