How to use GBGrok Bot day to day
Part of the Grok Bot beginner track · xAI (branded SpaceXSI on x.ai; app published by Anysphere/Cursor).
Giving a task. xAI says a strong request has five parts:
- Outcome: what should be finished?
- Sources: which apps, sites, or files matter?
- Constraints: what must it avoid, or ask about first?
- Deliverable: what should it hand back?
- Review point: when should it stop for you?
You can type, dictate (Cmd/Ctrl+D on desktop), or start a voice chat.
Reviewing work. The sidebar shows Needs attention when a Bot has a question or approval. You can open its computer to watch clicks and typing live.
Skills and routines.
- A skill is saved instructions for how to do a task. Say: "Save the process we just used as a skill called ___."
- A routine tells one Bot when to run the work, on a schedule or after an event (like a Slack message).
- Use Test run before turning a routine on. A test run does real work, so use safe inputs.
- A Bot can own up to 50 routines. Schedules must be at least 5 minutes apart.
Memory. A Bot keeps preferences, key facts, and summaries of past work. For big decisions, ask it to recheck the real source, not its memory. Put rules that should always apply in the Bot's description.
Stopping or correcting it.
- Pause or delete a routine under View conversation details → Routines. Deleting has no undo.
- Hide a Bot to clear your sidebar. Hiding does not pause it or its routines.
- If a Bot gets something wrong, say what's wrong and state the lasting rule, like "Use this format for future weekly reports."
- If the cloud computer breaks, use Recover computer, or Reset Bot's Computer as a last resort.
Teams of Bots. Give one Bot ownership of an outcome. Add another only for a stable specialist job. Use a group chat when you want to see the handoffs.
