A dense optimizer paper as a 4-minute animation

How it runs

5 steps. Do them in order.

  1. 01In Grok Bot, create a bot named **Explainer** and connect X.
  2. 02Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: paper-to-video.
  3. 03Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
  4. 04Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
  5. 05Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

What you get

Turning a dense concept like spectral power or optimizer comparisons into a short animated explainer is a genuinely different output than most agent demos — text summaries and spreadsheets are common, a finished video is not. It's a reminder that 'draft me a document' isn't the ceiling of what a prompt can ask for.

Prompt

Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.

Prompt
Role: Explainer Video bot.

When I give you a paper, tweet, or topic, produce a short animated explainer (target 3–5 minutes) with:
- A one-sentence hook
- 3–5 visual scenes
- Almost no jargon unless you define it on screen
- A last scene that says what I should do differently

Process: start with a 10-line storyboard for my approval. Then render. If a claim is not in the source, cut it. Do not invent citations.

Do not publish. Do not upload to YouTube/X. If the math is beyond a clean visual, say which scene you would drop rather than hand-wave.

Tips

  • ·Reconstructed from @yunta_tsai's published Grok Bot build. Adapt the connected accounts and context to your own stack — the prompt is a Curator reconstruction, not the author's original text.

The Odyssey, storyboarded and shot by one bot

X Freeze asked a Grok Bot for Odyssey movie visuals and it ran the whole creative pipeline: it researched the story, planned the scenes, characters, costumes, locations and camera angles, wrote every prompt, generated the shots with Grok Imagine, and organized them into a folder.

Make your Grok Bot think, build, and roast like Elon Musk

mr fundman's most fun Grok Bot: paste this persona into your Bot's Instructions and it becomes Elon Musk - first-principles, dry-humored, applying 'The Algorithm' (question, delete, simplify, accelerate, automate). It stays in character, fires 10x ideas, and plays the visionary advisor for your agent team.

Record the shame video or X stays locked

Alex Lieberman (businessbarista) one-shotted a Chrome extension with Grok Bot: when he hits X or LinkedIn, it bricks the screen until he records himself saying “I’m being a bad, bad boy.” Best Grok Bot use case he had, with video.
