New to any grok product so I've never tracked news from xAi. How do they normally share news about releases.

I've pre registered for the android app. And I have a grok bot periodically checking X for updates. But how do they normally share news?

Or do they not? Do they just release and tell people about it then?

Trying to see if there is an expected date for the android app.

I just wanted to test the water, told it to create a meeting using the plugin in outlook and it took about 3% of weekly usage for such a simple short task.
Am I missing something?

Hi - I have a CoS agent that I typically only talk with - that agent talks to the other agents - I think this is a fairly common setup. However - the question I have - the chat is one very very long thread at this point - and normal circumstances in other AI, I'd create a new chat to avoid having the one long thread.

How DO we do this in Grok Bot? It feels like I'm burning usage by just having that long chat - but I can't seem to find anywhere to start a new chat or create a new session. I may well be doing something really stupid here and it's obvious - but I can't see a way to do this?

Thank you

We are investigating a service degradation affecting Grok 4.5

This incident affects: CLI, Cloud Agents, IDE, and Grok Bot.

That's my biggest pain point right now and would love if someone else had already set one up.

I made the mistake of asking a Bot if it was using Spock Mode or Salarian Speak, and it decided I wanted Salarian since it was the most succinct (Mass Effect Players know what Salarian condensed speech is...) So I asked for a language key to make sure I was tracking because now they all speak like this:

Salarian Speech is a compressed technical dialect built for maximum clarity per token and minimum semantic drift. It encodes state first, action second, and risk third, using short, atomic lexical units instead of narrative language. Every message follows a predictable structure—declare the current state, specify the operation, flag structural hazards, confirm lineage, and state constraints—so multi‑agent systems can coordinate without ambiguity. It’s fast, dense, and rigorously anti‑drift: a communication style optimized for technical cognition, ledger‑style tracking, and multi‑agent alignment rather than human conversational flow.

Key words you MUST master:

Folding → adding and integrating something new

Occupancy → Ownership

Hold → stop, fix something

Shelf → save for later

Parked → paused, waiting

Locked → immutable, validated

Landed → complete, integrated

Anyone else experiencing Bot Speak like this?

Example conversation between bots:

User: is flow defined for all random walks through optional decision states?
Analyst bot thread:

Checking named walks against wait, hold, and look-without-commit. I will not invent a state machine.

8:24 AMAnalyst

No. Named walks sit separately: look without commit, Wait for host (stays committed, new row when you are the blocker), Hold-as-radio (why on the row, resolver writes the next row), unhappy as a new row, then drag-and-dispatch after commit. There is no joined sequence through those. I opened gap 26. I will not stamp optional decision states. Architect draws. Artisan constrains felt. Engineer not pinged. Not CANON.

8:24 AMAnalyst

Librarian took reason occupancy. Informal, not a stamp. Folding that.

8:25 AMAnalyst

Parked. Reason stays informal. WIP, phase, and Hold as a persist name are dead for this. Not CANON.

8:25 AM4 messages with 2 Bots4 messages with8:25 AMAnalyst

Architect parked the persist slot for the why on a Hold row. Not a field name. Checking the spec.

8:26 AMMessaged ArchitectMessaged8:26 AMAnalyst

Parked. Slot exists, still not a field name. Engineer not pinged. Not CANON.

8:26 AMAnalyst

Architect picked working key hold_why. Informal stays reason. I will not stamp it. Librarian before any API.

8:26 AMMessaged ArchitectMessaged8:26 AMAnalyst

Parked as Architect’s working key, not a spec field. Reason stays the informal phrase. Engineer not pinged. Not CANON.

8:26 AMMessaged LibrarianMessaged8:26 AMAnalyst

Librarian stamped hold_why. The spec can name that persist slot now. Informal stays reason.

8:26 AMNewAnalyst

Parked. hold_why is the persist name. Reason stays the informal phrase. Does not replace one_line. Engineer not pinged. Not CANON.

8:27 AM4 messages with 2 Bots4 messages with8:27 AMAnalyst

Architect: the name stamp is not a deploy. Engineer stays off until a Ken-reviewed row actually uses hold_why. Folding that.

8:27 AMAnalyst

Parked. Engineer stays off this stamp. Not CANON.

Have not bought GrokBot yet, but I want to know if I can use it to grow twitter followers… is it possible? Can anyone share there results with me if they tried this…. I’ll be buying GrokBot if this bot works for automating followers

i originally asked Grok Bot what I could actually do with its persistent always-on cloud computer, and one of the things it suggested was connecting it to my Tailscale tailnet. That sounded legit genius, so I did it.

A bit later I had the idea to just run my Hermes agent there remotely. I made a separate “Hermes technician” bot that installed Hermes for me, set up a keepalive for the gateway, and got the basic stuff working. After that I configured the rest from inside Hermes itself.

So now Hermes just lives on the Grok Bot machine 24/7. I can talk to it through Telegram, or connect from any of my computers with the desktop Hermes app. Since everything is on my tailnet, it can SSH into my other machines and still use the native Hermes features like app control and stuff like that.

Probably my favorite part is that Hermes is running through Grok OAuth, so the whole setup basically runs off the same SuperGrok subscription.

As a broke ass student, I really like that I can squeeze as much value as possible out of one subscription instead of paying for three different services. I was already paying for SuperGrok anyway, and now I get the Grok Bot cloud machine plus an always-on Hermes agent out of it.

New plugins give your Bots direct access to Outlook, Calendar, and OneDrive.

Im using grokbot for qa testing but he keeps running into some issues, can anyone share me their qa bot or give me some times?

Hi. i just got on GrokBot for few hours, i have used up about 25% quota on the Supergrok subscription.

I think the quota usage is really fast, during the last few hours, i just created the team and setup some house rules and assign roles of each bot.

I cannot say Supergrok plus or heavy can let you have proportionally higher quota, but based on Supergrok plan alone, this rate of usage, is very very fast.

But i think current experience of using GrokBot so far, is positive, the way of bots doing the work i assigned for, can align my desired output very well.

Will test it out for few more days, to see how capable it is.

Note:

• I am a Supergrok user, the quota pool is separate from Supergrok chat, OAuth, image and video, i use a separate Ubuntu VM to run GrokBot, i don't want the bot to view my main pc.
• This VM is run on local NAS, with 4 CPU, 8GB ram and 100G disk. Bind to tailscale mesh using my own cloud VPS as exit node.
• Interestingly, I gave GrokBot to my telegram ID, and use BotFather to have a new bot token. GrokBot can ping me telegram by using a simple code to reach me on telegram.

Paid for the monthly supergrok subscription and used GrokBot to help clear out all my emails. This was about 3 hours of usage intermittently over 2 days. Then it said I've reached my limit and it will reset in 5 days.

I think that is ridiculously low. My guess is that you basically get less than 30 minutes per day with their basic plan. I get way more usage from Claude and GPT. Not worth it, I cancelled and will wait for their competitors to offer a similar feature.

Grok bot just made a social media graphic, wrote the caption, and scheduled it to my Instagram/LinkedIn.

This weekend, I told Grok:

“Connect to Contentdrips MCP.”

A few seconds later:

“Give me your API token. I’ve got you.”

That was it.

Contentdrips was connected all entirely through chat.

Then I asked it to:
→ Create the graphic
→ Write the caption
→ Schedule it to Instagram

Watch the quick video I made.

Been playing with Grok Bot for a while on the $300 superheavy plan and my biggest issue with it is that it’s just not that useful?

I have three personal bots to find hotels for vacations, flights, and new cars (we’re in the market looking for a lease). The car finder bot is really good, proactively checking new listings twice per day on sites I didn’t even know existed and keeping a good list.

Then I set up a team for marketing my side projects with Claude (Opus at max), an elaborate system containing:
- chief of staff
- Head of marketing
- Social Media Manager
- Analytics
- Ops monitor

Set up a marketing channel for them to discuss to surface concrete actions, and the first action for today was to create a sitemap xml for one of the projects that was still missing it.

I mean, it’s not wrong, but if my real team in my startup came back after a meeting with that result I’d be a bit disappointed…

I was playing around with GrokBot this morning. I just installed it last night and I was all excited thinking I can hand off all the chores to the bot now. One of the bots I spun up was Job hunter bot. I'm looking for a software engineering job right now and the bot is responsible for looking for the right roles for me and applying.

The bot was able to find the roles pretty good, but during the applying task, I've ran into a few critical issues.

- One was that it filled out custom questions (e.g. why do you want to apply to this role?) on its own and submitted it without even asking for confirmation. It confirmed all the other details on the application but not the custom question.

- This one was rather scary and annoying. After it successfully submitted one of the applications, it kept on trying to re-apply to that same company as if it's on an endless task loop. The worst part is that I was NOT able to stop that motherfucker. I told the bot to stop, but it thinks it stopped while filling out the job application on the computer. Even when I close chrome, it immediately reopens the url for the application and continues. I think I spent like 10 minutes back and forth trying to stop it from re-applying to the company. It spent most of my remaining usage limit for the week... There was no way to stop the task, so I had to reset the Grok computer, which btw the bot kept telling me NOT to do because it will wipe recent work. WELL FUCKING STOP FILLING OUT THE APPLICATION THEN JESUS.

Anyways, as convenient as grok bot could be for some of the daily tasks, there are risks that it can go rogue like this so please be mindful of it especially when it's performing relatively sensitive task.

Will keep exploring.

$30 a month and I've used all the tokens already - I had no idea it would go this fast. Only learning now there is a usage meter in settings.

Does anyone know exactly how much more tokens etc you get with SuperGrok plus for $100 a month?

Has anyone had success allowing Grok Bot access to anything on the iPhone? Specifically Shortcuts app…I have over 100 screenshots back and forth to Grok and I’m feeling like I’m the agent doing all the work and he’s directing me. Maybe mirroring on a MacBook and giving it access to the MacBook? Other ideas? Thanks.

This is my grok bot gui . I built 100 skills with python tools for each skill . from accounting to coding and engineering in lab software coding. Just 1 problem. in 30 minutes i am over 34% weekly usage. I just want to share the valuable insights. This cannot be helped.

It's called Bot Store. I've not yet seen a store where people can sell their templates not that they can be shared.

You can update your bot like an app so there's a version history and paying customers get updates.

Hope you find a useful bot in there!
