What they did
Michael_Fenech_ shared a prompt for anyone opening every Grok Bot conversation to check progress. It gives the chief-of-staff bot one job: a daily briefing of what needs your decision, what's stuck and what's finished, with anything that has gone quiet flagged.
Result (as claimed)
One status brief replaces checking each bot by hand.
Tools they used
Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.
Set it up
Map the task
Write the trigger, the inputs, the decisions and the output. Note which steps need a human yes.
Connect the tools
Set up Grok Bot with the narrowest permissions that work. Use a test account or sandbox first.
Build the workflow
Create the steps in order. Add an approval step before anything sends, pays or deletes.
Run it on real but low-stakes data
Run a few times, read every output, and fix prompts or rules that misfire.
Schedule and monitor
Turn on the schedule or trigger, and add a daily summary or alert so you notice failures.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
