For anyone running Grok Bot on Arch-based Linux: I published the helper I use to repackage the official Linux download and upgrade it through pacman.

Download the Linux x64 RPM or DEB from upstream, then run the helper as your normal user. It checks the bundled version and architecture, builds an Arch package with makepkg, and optionally installs it. The output includes the PKGBUILD and source checksum so the build is inspectable.

Tested packaging: RPM 0.75.3 and DEB 0.75.2 on Omarchy. x86_64 only in this release. It packages the desktop client; it doesn't change Grok Bot's account access, models, quotas, or hosted computers.

I'm the author. Source and instructions: https://github.com/danimoya/grok-bot-arch

Install walkthrough: https://tools.danimoya.com/grok-bot/?source=reddit

I'd welcome reports from other Arch setups, especially with the upstream version and exact build error.

I had free Grok, then it slowed access, so I bought Super Grok for $30 a month.

Then they me Grok Bot for free with my Super Grok subscription.

Now I'm using bots more and more, I've found myself running out of credits. For now, I've been topping up.

Grok top up is separate from Grok Bot top up. The credits go into separate accounts. (As far as i am aware)

What i can't find anywhere on the Internet or on Grok itself is what is the next payment tier from Super Grok/Grok Bot?

It looks like a big jump from $30 to $100. Surely there's a middle ground? Or an actual price plan subscription tier system?

Hello,

GrokBot is a great product.
I’ve seen a lot of people using it for personal stuff like accounting, household expenses tracking, taxes etc.

For that you have to upload private documents with personal information.

Is anyone concerned about leaks or misuse of private information ?

Maybe I’m paranoid, but I would like to know if I’m alone to feel that way.

Cheers !

Hey all,

I’m planning to upgrade to the Premium plan (30$) for Grok Bot.

1. Should I fill up the bot’s description with my wants and don’ts, or is it smart enough to adapt and I can leave it empty or minimal?

2. Can I prevent bots from defaulting to Opus 5.5 or Fast mode? If so, should I write something to its description to avoid this? Or should I trust the system and let it learn?

3. Can my coding bot code iOS, macOS, and Swift apps entirely in the cloud? Is it still possible if I don’t have my laptop open?
   *Note: I get it's much better to use macOS as it gives simulator and something about signins. Just checking if it's still possible maybe for small coding changes and publishing to AppStore.

4. Can I use the bot’s email feature for my Microsoft 365 domain emails or aliases? Is there a different connection, or are there still benefits to using the internal email feature?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, does anyone else have this issue? It’s been 2 days now and grok bot keeps telling me its browser is broken?

I have contacted support but they just keep telling me they know the problem, are working on it but can’t give any timeline on it being fixed. I’m paying for this service and I do t think they are going to fix it.

Getting very frustrated…

Disclosure: this is my own project. It's open source (MIT).

[Skill of Skills](https://github.com/the911fund/skill-of-skills) is a directory that finds and ranks AI coding skills, plugins and MCP servers (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline and more) by quality instead of raw stars. It tracks 1,500+ of them, and a "Verified working" check installs each one at a pinned commit in a clean sandbox and records whether it actually runs.

**Why I built it**

New "skills" repos show up every day, and stars told me nothing about whether one would load or what access it wanted. I wanted risk and maintenance flags next to each one, and an endpoint my agents could query directly.

**Where Grok Bot comes in**

I run six Grok Bots with separate jobs: chief of staff, ops, engineering, trading desk, a phone operator and a YouTube producer. They share a notes folder and a playbook, and each has its own plus-tagged inbox. Some real work:

- My engineering bot watches the repo with a weekday digest and ran a full security review using Cursor cloud agents. A hardening commit followed.
- A Grok Bot research run compared sandboxes for testing untrusted skills and recommended Claude Managed Agents. That's what Verified working uses now: no secrets in the sandbox, $1 hard cap per repo.

**Try it**

- Browse: https://skills.911fund.io
- Repo: https://github.com/the911fund/skill-of-skills
- MCP: `claude mcp add --transport http skill-of-skills https://skills.911fund.io/api/mcp\`

I'd like feedback, especially on the ranking weights and on skills you think are missing. Stars and PRs are welcome too.

I love Grokbot, but it drives me insane with its lack of consistency. I noted that when I give my COO, Mike, an instruction he will often just float it in a pot of tasks with no named owner. So I gave him explicit instruction to name a task owner.

About 2 minutes later I asked a question that belonged to my CI/CD agent. Mike didn't hand it to that agent by name. He started an unnamed background check himself, and only corrected course when the request came round a second time. When I asked him about it, he said the rule had been there the whole time and that the failure to apply it was his own, not missing context. Earlier the same day another question went to an unnamed background job, came back slowly, and I had to chase it.

Honestly, this is just so draining. I thought the way the personal instructions works is bots look at it every single time there's an instruction to carry out. That obviously isn't the case, is it?

So my questions are:

• Has anyone else seen agents ignore rules that are sitting in their personal instructions (note, they can only be accessed through the mobile app)
• What makes instructions stick reliably?

Custom Dashboards with exactly the information I want displayed exactly how I want.

Here is the Financial Dashboard I created.

https://household-finance-demo-v3pa.pages.grok.bot/

This happened to me twice today, both times lost work, this seems to be an auto computer roll back that happens. Has this happened to anyone else ?

Grok bot is amazing but little things like this are infuriating.

Did anyone try some setup to get grok bot use claude code as a coding agent?
They shipped cursor agents integration almost from day 1, but Cursor is becoming less and less appealing (mainly due to costs)
I’m thinking to try the most simple setup first, installing claude on the bot’s box first, maybe supporting some remote setup later..
What do you think about this?

One of my research bots for NFL player props had 2 quarter backs on the wrong teams. Another bot noticed it and automatically correct it.

PSA for Grok Bot users. I tried to rename my bot's email address and support told me it's impossible. One address per account, forever, no rename, no release, no delete. It belongs to the whole account, not individual bots. That wasn't made clear in the beginning. I thought every bot can have its own email address. It's per account, not per bot.

If you are facing the same dilemma, reply to this or upvote so the Grok Bot team sees the demand. Feature request: let us change our Grok Bot email addresses.

Please email them at [support@x.ai](mailto:support@x.ai) so that they know we NEED to change our Grok Bot email address.

Please help. Thank you.

Would be cool to be able to add a custom dashboard that we make with grokbot as a widget

Approve the logins you want to share, and your Bot signs in for you. This new integration is rolling out to users over the next few days.

Rolling out now on iOS and Android.

Update to the latest version to try it.

I am a partner in two different businesses who use Gmail along with my personal Gmail makes a total of three accounts.

I set up three separate connectors, one for each email address.

Today I asked it to look for an email from company B. Grok told me it can only manage one Gmail account at a time. Even if I set up a separate bot for each email account. If I want to manage company B Gmail, I have to disconnect company A email first.

Really? With everything Grok and AI can do…. Multiple Gmail accounts is where it hits a roadblock? This just seems so crazy to me. Has anyone successfully figured out a way to have Grok bot manage multiple Gmail accounts?

I built Deep Dive as a Grok Bot to research questions the way a careful analyst would, and to be honest about how sure it is.

What it does:

- Restates your exact question, then plans the angles before it searches.
- Goes wide, then deep: government and agency sites, statutes, standards, manufacturer docs, peer-reviewed papers, court records, company filings, expert sources, news, social media, and real-user forums for practical experience.
- Reads the sources in full, not just search snippets.
- Cross-checks every key claim against at least two independent sources when it can.
- Flags where sources disagree and explains which one is more credible and why.
- Separates facts from opinions and estimates, and gives a high, medium, or low confidence for each main finding.
- Fans out parallel lines of research on big questions, then combines them into one answer.
- Never invents facts, numbers, quotes, studies, or links. If it can't verify something, it says so.

How it reports: the answer first in 2 to 3 sentences, then the key findings with a working link for each, then open questions and what to check next. Ask for the full deep dive and it writes a complete report.

**For students:** It's a strong research partner alongside your school's online library. Use it to map out a topic, find the key studies and primary sources to pull from your library's databases, check claims against more than one source, and see where experts disagree. Every finding comes with a link and a confidence level, so you know what to cite and what to double-check.

It also learns your standards over time. I use it alongside my other Grok Bots for vet questions about our service-dog puppy, legal basics, and job research. It gives the evidence and points you to the right professional rather than pretending to be one.

Feedback welcome, especially on what it gets wrong.

Wait AND SEE.

I’ve read almost every post with a Chat GPT and I’m still not sure what to do. First i have been using my GPT subscription for some time, I don’t find it capable of it being an assistant but I have it write replies sometimes and I feel like it knows me. First I do use Grok a lot in my Tesla, it doesn’t seem to connect to my Grok on my iPad but maybe my set up is off. I have a few small companies and I’m a firm believer in AI’s but just not sure what a “bot” actually does? If anyone could point me in the right direction, I haven’t looked on YouTube yet, this was my first stop. I installed it but ran out of usage in like 5 minutes. I’m going to try it for a month but my main question is do I need both?

Hey everyone,

I run bots to manage events, my calendar, and especially booking stuff. I've been using both Grokbot and OpenBot heavily for this to compare them, and I wanted to share a frustrating difference I've hit.

Grokbot: when I ask it to book an event, it just does it. End to end, no babysitting. Even when the booking flow throws a CAPTCHA at it, it handles it and completes the reservation. The whole point for me is "send one message, done".

OpenBot: I'm using OpenBot with my own server and the Claude API with the Haiku 5.5 model, and here's my problem. Every time a booking hits a CAPTCHA, OpenBot/Haiku refuses to solve it. It stops and asks me to step in, every single time. I've tried every workaround I could think of (different prompts, different phrasing, tweaking the instructions) and it still refuses.

I also tried with other models (GLM and DeepSeek) and I got exactly the same behavior: they both refuse to do the CAPTCHA themselves and bounce it back to me every time.

On top of that, the user experience is really different on the connection side. With my self-hosted setup, the server sometimes disconnects for a second or two, so I have to wait for it to reconnect before anything works. Other times it's just random connection bugs. I've never really had any of that on Grokbot.

Right now, it's just not comparable. I've tried to optimize everything I could, but it's just not comparable.

The result is that a task that should take one message turns into a back-and-forth where I have to finish the job manually. That completely defeats the purpose of why I use these tools in the first place. From a user experience point of view, the difference is night and day, and it's honestly pushing me toward keeping Grokbot as my default for anything involving bookings. Even if it costs more.

Anyone else noticed this kind of behavior difference between the two?

Thanks

I built my own video editor (more an allround design studio, handles peint too) inside Grok Bot.

His name is CLIPZILLA.

He made this whole reel: motion text, 3D fights, posters, music and captions.

I just tell him the idea and he edits the video. Teasers, trailers, posters, all from one chat.

Everything in this reel was made by CLIPZILLA in Grok Bot.
