The pieces
- BotsAn AI teammate with one job. Copy the instructions into a new Grok Bot.
- CrewsA few bots that work together, plus how they pass work to each other.
- TemplatesCopy someone else’s bot setup. Not their email or passwords.
- SkillsA saved how-to on a bot — not a new bot. Made in the Grok Bot app.
- RoutinesA schedule or trigger for a skill. Set in the Grok Bot app.
- PluginsApp connections like Gmail or X. They don’t do the job by themselves.
Computer
The shared cloud computer every bot on your account uses.
What xAI means
The computer belongs to your account, not to one bot. Every bot can see the files, saved logins, and browser. Each bot gets its own screen in the browser. Underneath, it’s the same machine.
Log a bot into a site once. Teach the clicks. Point a routine at that skill. Don’t paste the password into chat every morning.
The rule
Files
Every bot can see them
The overnight bot writes a file. The morning bot reads it. If it isn’t in Files, it didn’t happen. Don’t store seed phrases, wallets, or customer dumps on that disk.
Logins
A profile, not your keys
Write down the owner, the name, and the job. Say what the bot may do, what it must ask you, and what it may never do. Include how to shut it off.
