Tools they used
Cost: Grok Bot: from $30/mo.
Set it up
Define the job
Say exactly what you want done and what the agent may and may not do on your behalf.
Share only what is needed
Give Grok Bot the minimum files or access required. Avoid sharing passwords in chat when a safer login flow exists.
Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.
Check the result
Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
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.

Related use cases
Run your life with one bot per job: house hunting, inbox, returns and travel
Not a business setup: a user runs separate Grok Bots for house hunting, his inbox, Amazon returns, travel, X drafts and handing coding tasks to Claude Code.
Let Grok Bot use your Android phone over home Wi-Fi
He turned on Developer options and Wireless debugging and paired his phone with the computer Grok Bot runs on. The bot now installs his test builds, takes screenshots, taps through apps and reads settings; its first job was a plain-language audit of every phone setting.
Give your Grok Bot its own phone number to answer calls and take messages
A user gave his Grok Bot its own phone number. It answers calls, takes messages and gives him the rundown afterward.
Talk to your Grok Bot from the iPhone Action Button
Set the iPhone Action Button to a Shortcut, search for "Grok Bot" and pick "Start voice chat". Then press and hold the button to talk to your bot.
