Give your Grok Bot a job worth finishing.
xAI describes Grok Bots as persistent digital teammates with cloud computers, browser and terminal access, and routines for repeating work. This guide concerns Grok Bot rather than ordinary Grok chat.
Your first handoff
Start one thread with a specific job and the finished artifact you want. A themed film program or hobby restart plan is a manageable first handoff with a result you can inspect.
What to check
A Bot still needs access to the sources the task depends on. Ask it to identify blocked sites or missing information rather than silently substituting guesses. A researched viewing option is not a rental.
Make the result useful
If you later repeat a task, define what counts as a worthwhile update. Ask the Bot to report useful changes rather than sending the same material every run.
Product notes checked October 1, 2026 against xAI: Grok Bot is now included with more plans. These are suggested tasks, not platform-tested compatibility claims. Features and access can change.
