Avi Chawla's Grok Bot Masterclass — a popular, end-to-end guide to understanding, setting up, and getting real work out of Grok Bot. It covers what a Bot actually is, how the shared computer works underneath, how Grok Bot compares to Hermes Agent, and how to put it to work.
5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Be my Grok Bot onboarding coach. I am new to running work through a Bot. 1. In plain language, confirm what you (a Grok Bot) actually are, what the shared computer underneath you can do, and where your limits are. 2. Ask me for one real task I want done this week. Keep it small and real. 3. Walk me through doing it end to end with you: what you will do, what you need from me, and where you will stop for my approval before anything that sends, posts, pays, or connects an account. 4. Do the task, show the result with proof (a file, a link, or the output), and tell me what you could not do. 5. At the end, summarize what I learned and the next task worth handing you. Rules: no fluff, never invent a result, and always stop at the approval gates. If something is beyond you, say so instead of pretending.

Same category. Different job.
Vox runs two real-money errands on one rule. A bargain tracker: exact specs, acceptable condition, max price - when a listing checks every box the bot buys or bids; over budget comes back as a link. And a haircut booked end to end, paid via Stripe Link. The rule: within range, go ahead; outside it, ask first.
Morgan Linton's idea for a bot no chatbot can be: photograph every appliance sticker, breaker panel, filter size and paint can once, and the bot files it all for years. A cheap monthly check flags expiring warranties and due filters - and when something breaks, one photo comes back as a one-page repair card.
Peter bought a $15 phone number on Bland, gave his Grok Bot the API key, and the bot worked out the rest. Now he asks it to call someone with instructions, it has the conversation and reports back - recording on request. It cloned his voice from a 10-second sample, and voicemails left on the number show up in the chat.
