GBGrok Bot setup guide for beginners

What you need before you start:

• A plan that includes Grok Bot: Premium ($30) or higher, Teams, or an older SuperGrok or paid Cursor plan you link.
• A computer running macOS (Apple silicon or Intel), Windows (x64 or Arm64), or Linux (x64 or Arm64). Or a phone: iPhone with iOS 18+, or Android 9+.
• One app or website where your first Bot can do useful work.

Step-by-step setup:

1. Download. Go to x.ai/bot and pick the download for your computer. Linux builds are under "More downloads." On a phone, use the App Store or Google Play.
2. Install. On Mac, drag Grok Bot to Applications. On Windows, run the installer.
3. Sign in. Choose Sign in. Grok Bot uses a Cursor account, so finish signing in in the browser window that opens.
4. Link your plan if needed. If your access comes from an older SuperGrok plan, link it when the app asks (desktop: Settings → Usage & Billing).
5. Answer the welcome questions. The app asks which tools you use. Your answers only shape suggestions. They don't connect anything.
6. Create your first Bot. Pick a suggested teammate, or choose Create your own. Give it a short name, one job, and a description of how it should work.
7. Connect one app. Open Connect apps in the sidebar, choose Add, and sign in in your browser.
8. Give it a safe first task. Attach a document and ask for a summary. That needs no logins.

Account and privacy note: Grok Bot needs cloud data storage. If your Cursor account uses "Legacy Privacy Mode," you must switch to a supported setting first.

First-run checklist:

• ☐ My Bot has one clear job, not "General Helper."
• ☐ Its description includes "Never send, buy, publish, or delete without my approval."
• ☐ I connected only the apps this job needs.
• ☐ Execution on Local Computer is set to Ask every time or Never allow.
• ☐ I added at least one Ask first rule in Auto-review.
• ☐ Notifications are on for this Bot, so I see approval requests.
• ☐ I ran one read-only task and checked the result myself.
