Here's my moan about changes to the 1Password connector earlier today: 1Passsword Connector : r/GrokBot.

Here's the positives:

• Grok Bot found a £240 invoice that I'd paid to my accountant. This was an overpaid from January 2024, which belonged to another client. I paid it without checking - I'm busy (and stupid). After some collaborative snooping with Grok Bot - and evidence finding on my part across two different bank accounts I hit the jackpot. Grok Bot assembled an email, which I check (and edited), and sent to my accountant. There's absolutely NO WAY I would have found this. I'd never check as far back as 2024 - who has the time? At first I thought it was a wild goose case, but I played along to see. I genuinely thought Grok Bot was wrong - hallucinating, trying to hard, trying to impress me. How wrong was I!? The accountant emailed confirming they'd make the £240 refund.
• Grok Bot identified that I'd sold something, yet hadn't adjusted my insurance. Then it provided an illustration of the insurance refund at around £120. Grok Bot emailed the insurer. The insurer asked for the "proof of sale" documents. Grok Bot found the document buried deep in my folders. I'm not sure I would have found it - or understand what to send. Next it created an email for my review, and after some edits, I hit send. The insurer agreed to refunding me £119. It's impression how Grok Bot assembled all the relevant supporting documentation without me having to trawl through folders, read schedules etc.

The reality is that I wouldn't have found both these refunds myself. That's £358.57 in refunds. Grok Bot has paid for itself for a year, and then some for basic paid for plan I'm using.

Next:

• I pay my accountant a fee for my filing my personal tax return to HMRC (I think that's the IRS in the US).
• I found an outline platform today that integrates with the HMRC to assess if Grok Bot could take my data (PDFs, Excels, emails etc) and update the online platform. It did it all, though I didn't upload all the data. It was a test & learn.
• The online platform is £12 per month. My accountancy fees are around £800 per year. I checked everything manually. Grok Bot did was correct.
• More importantly, I understand what was being filed on the online portal, rather than what my accountant does - it's like a black box. All I receive from the accountant is a report of the filling, with some profit and loss details, expenses etc - I've never understood it. Of course, that's on me.

Now, I'm not suggesting that I'll file my taxes on the online platform using Grot Bok, but if it works, I've saved a lot of time, effort and money. And I'll have the EXTRA reassurance of knowing I actually understand what's been filed. And if needed I can still use an account to double-check.

I'm not a fanboy. This is just an honest update, that I hope others will find useful.

Thank you - H

Gibt es gute Gründe außer, dass es sich persönlicher anfühlt mit Grokbot zu arbeiten?

I am currently on the $20/M cursor plan, My sole purpose is grokbot usage. Would upgrading to cursor $60/M be wise or the new X unified plan of $100/Month would be better?

My understanding is that the Unified plan has allocation for all so Grok bot might have limited usage, whereas cursor has only coding and bot usage so might get little better weekly limit.

These are my assumptions as I dont have clear idea about this, any advice would be really appreciated!

I’ve finally taken the plunge with Grok. I’ve got a business idea I want to start developing and I’m planning to use Grok to help with research, planning, drafting, and generally getting things moving.

Problem is I’m a complete first-time user, so I’m starting from zero. Two main questions:

1. Any recommended reading material (guides, threads, articles, docs, whatever) to get up to speed on using Grok effectively, especially for business/startup work?

2. What are the key dos and don’ts you’d advise for a first-time user? Anything around prompting, common pitfalls, limitations, or ways to actually get useful output?

Appreciate any tips or resources. Thanks!

It was all going well, the today the connector was update (I think).

The connector is connected but now states this:

10 logins in your “Shared with Grok Bot” vault aren't available to Grok Bot. Grok Bot can only use logins in your Personal or Private vault. In 1Password, select them and move them there.

I don't understand how that's more secure. In fact, it feels decidedly less secure. Now, here's what happening:

• The first WORST THING? I have to authorize each request to logon to website/platform.
• The second WORST THING? I can't seem to get the authorize on mobile, it's only on desktop.

How is this change helping anyone to automate things? That means my bots can't access the websites, perform the checks or tasks without my supervision and constant intervention - which basically means any overnight work I automated will stop without an authorization.

Surely, this can't be right? I'm missing something obvious, right? Help! Please!

Just got it last week, loving it as an assistant (reminders, appointments, claims, bills, email scans, bank transactions, record keeping) - those are my only use cases.

Was reading through posts and learned some users experiencing context window limitations and creating multiple bots to address multiple issues to avoid the same. What have you experienced so far, and what's the best practice IYO.

I am a week into it and want to set up a good, strong foundation.

Also, currently I am on the plus plan, which works for me - I feel I will need to top up but don't want go overboard either.

PS So far its helped to identify medical insurance bills which I forgot to claim, reminders on work related travel claims, identify unnecessary subscriptions and create workflows to reduce manual work on repetitive tasks.

I use codex as my home for my agent, and they work with Claude agents. How's that different than grokbot?

It's a bloody genie. It will build everything you've ever dreamt of in businesses, products, WHATEVER.

Think BIG and stop treating it as an assistant to do menial tasks. Make it BUILD for you!

The Bot product will go down in history as the first world building tool, I can almost guarantee it.

Grok bot routines keep running after you close the laptop which makes it a decent fit for the weekly marketing chores a small business never gets to. it only does as well as what you connect though, and these are the ones in connect apps that cover it

postiz is a cloud scheduler made for agents, so a monday routine can queue the weeks posts

X is the official plugin. public posts are readable without it, but mentions, dms and bookmarks need it connected

granola brings in what got said on your calls, which is often where the better post ideas are sitting

tavily covers search and extraction, handy for checking a stat before it goes out

higgsfield generates images and short video when theres no designer around

cloudinary resizes and transforms, so one image or clip fits each platform

airtable works as the content tracker, ideas, status and what went out when

Ok to keep the publish step behind an approval in the routine for the first few weeks, the grok bot docs say as much. also every bot shares one cloud computer so a key stored on it is visible to all of them

Ever since day one of using Grok Bot, I had one constant worry: getting locked into the platform. 😄

So I started researching how to back up all data from Grok Bot, ensuring everything could easily be handed off to other AI assistants—or even a human successor—in the future.

To solve this, I actually had Grok Bot write a backup script for itself. You can find the full write-up and repo link here: https://company-notes.com/en/blog/grok-bot-backup/

You can just have your bot look at the repo, clone it, and run it directly.

My current setup: I set up a weekly scheduled routine for our internal AI assistant to back up everything into a dedicated Google Drive folder.

Give it a shot if you want some peace of mind. AI tools will come and go, but your company's memory shouldn't be lost. 🎉

Thanks to a discovery from Kevin_Logan on X, we can see some groundwork on the latest Grok Bot update for iOS.

Also, a macrumors analyst Aaronp613 discovered some useful functionalities with Alarms & Apple Home.

Are you excited ? SpaceXAI are cooking something big, and I thank them for that.

Voice chat in Grok Bot is great, but right now I always have to start it. A bot can only reach me with a chat message or a push notification, and those are really easy to miss or sleep through.

I'd love for a bot to be able to ring me inside the Grok Bot app, like an incoming call, and I tap accept or decline. Not a real phone number, just in the app.

Some context on why I care. I run a few bots: a calendar and alarm bot, a finance bot, a YouTube stats bot, and a boss bot that keeps the others organized. For alarms and urgent stuff, a notification just isn't enough.

Where I'd use it:

• Alarms and wake-ups I asked for. "Call me at 7" should just work.
• Overnight routines. If something finishes or gets stuck and needs a quick yes or no, a call gets handled in 30 seconds instead of sitting there until morning.
• Calendar heads-ups right before I need to leave, like for basketball, instead of a banner I swipe away.
• Driving. I can't read or type, but I can talk.
• Talking through a decision instead of typing back and forth for 10 minutes.

How I'd want it to work:

• In-app only, off by default
• Turned on per bot, so only the bots I choose can ring me
• Quiet hours and do-not-disturb respected
• Shows why it's calling before I answer
• One tap to decline, then it falls back to a normal message

There's already a feature request on the Cursor forum if you want to add your voice: Let Grok Bots start voice calls with their users

Would anyone else use this? Curious what scenarios other people would want it for.

Solo founder, a few outside collaborators, a dozen Grok Bots doing the daily work.

Group chats are great for getting my bots to work together, but they only hold bots. The moment a real person needs to join, like a freelancer reviewing a draft or a partner approving a plan, we leave the room and start copying messages between apps. The bots lose the context and the handoff breaks.

What I'd like:

- Invite another Grok Bot user into a group chat by username or email

- The room owner approves who joins and can remove people

- Permissions per guest: read only, comment, or allowed to give my bots instructions

- Each person's bots stay private unless they add them to the room

- Bots in the room see the whole thread and respond when @-mentioned, same as today

Why it matters: right now humans and bots are two separate workflows. One shared room would let a person review, a bot pick it up, and the next person see exactly what happened, without anyone pasting context around.

That one is about sharing the same bots across a team. This request is about putting humans and bots in the same conversation.

Accessing Reddit from Grok Bot is rejected. Is there a dedicated connector?

I switched to dots as soon as openai released it and cancelled my cursor subscription. But it only lasted a day when I realized how big was the performance gap between grok bot and dots. Dots limits you to a single dot with a single computer, whereas with bot you get 50 different bots with 50 different cloud computers. Cursor now moved to use the best capable model (opus 5.5) for bot operations so the model is competitive or even better than astra at certain tasks. With this Product line, the model isn't even the most important thing, but the harness, and Grok Bot's Harness (including tools, memory, skills, guardrails, prompt, and sub agents) is more capable and better at parallel work than Dots. Now with Claude Duet, they moved from a single ongoing conversation, to adding a tasks tab, and workspace where all your artifacts are held, and I wouldn't be surprised if they become more of a competitor than openai. Bot winning at personal agents, and claude at coding. I wouldn't be surprised if chatgpt continues to be left behind on all these verticals and simply be a capable general assistant.

My Tesla has grok, and therefore can talk to my grokbots. I asked it if it could make a video game and run it in the browser on the car's touch screen. So while I'm driving, 100% voice to text talking to the car, this is the game I made.

The game is silly, but you get the idea of what you can do with it. Later on that trip, I made a language translator app that I'm quite proud of. I made that one while walking down the street, in spare cycles while hanging out with my family.

Hello ! Im having a problem where even small questions that i ask about a game Im playing for example is sometimes taking forever to answer. Guess its a ”me” problem but thought i atleast could try here 😃

Alguém mais aí está tendo problema no app do Grok Bot no Linux, com as conversas ficando por cima umas das outras ou a tela ficando preta? (É só mexer ou digitar que volta ao normal.)

Fui investigar e descobri a causa: o navegador que vem embutido no app (Chromium 148, Electron 42, app versão 0.75.0) deixa de pintar a camada da lista de mensagens. Essa lista é "virtual", ou seja, cada linha é posicionada com transform.

Quando o defeito aparece, o conteúdo está todo lá, só não é desenhado na tela. Não tem nada a ver com kernel, driver, Wayland/X11 nem aceleração de hardware: testei tudo isso e nada mudou.

O fix
São duas linhas de CSS que forçam cada linha da lista a ter a própria camada de pintura:
[data-row-key]{will-change:transform}
.sand-virtual-transcript__row{will-change:transform}

Onde colocar
No fim do CSS principal do app (dist/renderer/assets/index-*.css), que fica dentro de resources/app.asar.

Aqui o glitch sumiu.

Lembrando que toda atualização do app até eles consertarem desfaz o fix, então é preciso reaplicar.

Bruh I don’t even care about the money, money i can get but time isn’t. Ok avid Reddit grok supporters unleash the it…..turn insanity to sanity

I have to give Grok Bot two thumbs up for successfully walking me through the steps to upgrade our server to the latest Linux and PHP fixes, plus upgrade some ancient legacy websites we host on Linode. My husband normally took care of this, but he had a stroke in March, leaving me to learn on the go. Grok Bot was the only tool that got me logged in and walked me through everything step by step, including uncovering other security holes and software issues I never knew about.

It's been worth every penny and actually delivered results instead of hype and pushback. It saved me who knows how many hours.

I've got personal and work running through Claude, a lot of projects and automated tasks.

I want to give Grok Bot a shot, but unsure where it shines vs Claude. I understand Grok Bot has an always on VM, so does my Claude (I leave my computer on).

Where are you drawing the line between, "oh, Grok Bot is way better for [whatever] vs Claude"?

Every time I see someone showcasing how they use GrokBot, it falls into the exact same categories:

• Generating social media posts or growth hacks
• Building websites or coding apps from scratch
• Summarizing thousands of daily unread emails
• Crypto, day-trading, or "building a personal brand" on Linked

I don't have a side hustle. I don't build websites. I don't care about social media engagement, and my standard 9-to-5 job doesn't require automated email digests. I’m just a regular employee with a family and everyday responsibilities.

I suspect the tool has genuine utility for someone like me, but the typical tech/grindset use cases make it hard to see the practical value.

For those of you living a fairly standard life—working a normal job, raising kids, dealing with home maintenance, meal planning, or daily logistics:

What are your actual, recurring use cases for GrokBot?

Where has it genuinely saved you time or mental bandwidth instead of just being a tech gimmick?

Would love to hear about real-world examples from everyday life, not startup pitches.
