The Complete Grok Bot Guide

Help me set up one useful Grok Bot around a job I actually need done.

My job for you: [describe the repeated task or unfinished project].
My context: [who the work is for and why it matters].
My available material: [files, public links or apps I can connect].
My preferred result: [document, spreadsheet, shortlist, dashboard or draft].

Ask up to five questions that would materially change the result. Then suggest a focused name, a one-paragraph role and one small first task. Tell me what you can do with the access already available. Request another connection only if it is needed for that first task.

Complete useful research and preparation within that scope. Create new working files without overwriting my originals. Show me the proposed recipient, content and target before any message, publication, purchase, booking, deletion or permission change, and wait for my approval.

Save the agreed job and preferences in a readable project note. Keep facts I supplied separate from your assumptions. Finish the first task with the actual deliverable, source links, what you checked and any remaining question. Do not activate a recurring routine yet.

Read the attached [document name]. Turn it into a practical action sheet for me.

Include a five-sentence summary, every explicit deadline, the decisions I need to make and a checklist ordered by what needs attention first. Add a page or section reference beside each item. If a date or owner is missing, mark it as missing rather than guessing.

Return an editable document plus a short summary here. Keep the original untouched. Do not contact anyone or schedule anything. Finish with the three questions I should ask before acting on this document.

I am considering buying [item or link] for [intended use]. My budget is [amount and currency], I am in [country], and I need it by [date].

Compare this item with three credible alternatives. Use current seller and manufacturer pages. Include the exact model, total delivered price where visible, stock status, warranty or return terms, and the tradeoff that matters for my use. Separate verified details from anything the seller does not state.

Return a compact comparison with direct links and the time you checked prices. Recommend one option and explain the main reason I might choose another. Do not order anything or contact sellers. If a site blocks access, list it and use accessible evidence instead.

Research a trip from [origin] to [destination] for [dates or flexibility], for [travelers], with a total budget of [amount and currency]. My priorities are [three priorities].

Ask only for missing details that change the shortlist. Compare three realistic combinations of travel and accommodation. Include total costs visible now, baggage or major fees, travel times, neighborhood tradeoffs and cancellation terms with direct links. Label estimates and check dates clearly.

Make a one-page decision sheet and a simple itinerary for the strongest option. List what still needs live confirmation. Stop before booking, contacting anyone or submitting traveler details.

Clean the attached spreadsheet for [purpose]. First inspect its sheets, headers and row count. Tell me which changes are safe formatting fixes and which require judgment.

Create a new cleaned copy with consistent headers, date formats and units. Keep a sheet containing the original rows and a change log. Flag possible duplicates, missing values and unusual entries instead of deleting or inventing them. Preserve formulas unless you explain a necessary repair.

Add a short summary of the most useful patterns, with the exact columns and calculations behind them. Check totals and a sample of rows against the original. Return the edited workbook and a list of decisions still needed from me.

Use my attached [content performance export] and [examples of my content] to find the next five ideas worth making for [audience].

Compare posts on the same platform and similar age. Explain which metrics exist, what is missing and how that limits the comparison. Identify three concrete patterns in hooks, subjects or formats. Reference the posts behind each pattern.

Propose five original concepts with an opening line, useful payoff and outline. Match the supplied examples without copying another creator or inventing personal experience. Label hypotheses as hypotheses. Return an editable planning document and one experiment to try next. Do not publish or schedule posts.

Use these notes and files to turn [project] into a plan I can execute. My deadline is [date], and I can spend [time] each week.

Identify the finished deliverable, what already exists, what is missing and the decisions blocking progress. Build a short task list with dependencies and a realistic first work session. Separate things you can prepare from things I must decide or do myself.

Create a project folder with a brief, task list and decision log. Link each important fact to its source file. Draft the first useful deliverable now if there is enough information. Do not change the original files or share the project externally.

Turn the workflow we just completed into a reusable skill called [name]. Use the version I approved, including my corrections.

Include when to use it, required inputs, source locations, the exact steps, decision rules, output format and a final verification checklist. Explain what to do when a source is unavailable or a value is ambiguous. Keep all external sends, purchases and destructive changes behind approval.

Save the skill and show me where it is available. Do not activate a routine. Suggest one small, harmless input we can use to check that the skill produces the same kind of result next time.

Prepare a routine for [Bot name] using the [skill name] workflow. I want it on [days] at [time] in [time zone], using [current sources].

Each result should contain what changed since the last successful run, the three items worth my attention, direct source links and any blocked step. If there is no meaningful change, keep the result brief. Never pretend old data is a fresh check. Do not send messages to other people or change source systems.

First show me the schedule, input access, expected usage if known and an example output. Do not enable it until I confirm. If this interface cannot prepare it without activating it, give me the instructions first. After I approve, show the next run and help me review one small test.

Prepare a handoff for another Bot to review the research in [project folder].

Save a brief containing the original question, my requirements, the best source links, the draft result and unresolved points. The second Bot's job is to check the five most important claims and suggest improvements, not repeat all the research.

Have the reviewer save comments in a separate file. Keep one named owner of the final document. Before sharing the handoff, confirm which Bot will receive it and that the folder contains only material relevant to this job. Return one combined answer with disagreements still visible.

Check the result you just produced against my original request. Open the final artifact and verify that it exists, contains the promised sections and can be read.

Recheck the five facts or calculations that would matter most if they were wrong. Use the underlying sources rather than your earlier summary. Identify broken links, missing inputs, unsupported assumptions and anything you described as done without evidence.

Fix reversible issues inside the working copy. Return the corrected artifact, a short list of checks performed and any remaining decision. Keep proposed external actions separate from actions actually completed.

Pause the current approach to [task]. Summarize the original goal, what you have completed and exactly where you are blocked.

Do not repeat the same failing action. Preserve the files already created. Give me the smallest next step that would unblock the job, then offer a manual alternative if the website, connector or permission remains unavailable.

Use fresh evidence to distinguish a login problem, missing access, unavailable data and a reasoning mistake. Continue useful work that does not depend on the blocked step. Do not reset the computer, delete files or buy more usage without asking me.
