The best Grok Bot uses are routines, meeting notes, inbox drafts, phone calls to US businesses, Vault sign-in, computer use and Team Bots, and #1 is routines, because a routine keeps running on the cloud computer while your laptop is closed. Every use on this list comes from the official Grok Bot docs, and each one has a small-business example you can copy step by step.

xAI describes Grok Bot as an agent with access to a real computer in the cloud. Your Bots share one persistent cloud computer with a browser, a filesystem and a terminal, and the work carries on after you close the app.

The 10 best Grok Bot uses, ranked
The ranking puts the uses that save the most repeat work for a small team at the top. Plan names come from the docs; Grok Bot is included on Premium, Super and Ultra plans, and Plus doesn't include it, according to the X Subscription page.

The fastest way to learn these setups is to watch someone build them. Inside the AI Profit Boardroom you get step-by-step video trainings, the installable Agent OS and four coaching calls a week with 3,400+ members.
1. Routines: the morning briefing that runs itself
#1 is routines. A routine tells one Bot when to run a job, on a schedule or when something happens: a Slack message, a GitHub, Linear, Sentry or PagerDuty event, an email to the Bot's own address, or a webhook call, per the skills and routines docs.
Example for a two-person bakery:
- Connect Gmail and Google Calendar from Connect apps.
- Ask the Bot: every weekday at 7:00 AM, sum up new orders in the inbox and today's deliveries, and post the list here. Don't send anything.
- Open the routine and check When to run shows the schedule you meant.
- Press Test, because a new routine waits for its next scheduled time.
Keep triggers narrow. Every run spends usage, and the docs warn that a busy Slack trigger can use a week of usage in a day. More ideas sit on my Grok Bot routines page.
2. Meeting notes in Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams
A Bot can join the call, listen, take notes, answer questions in the meeting chat and send a summary with action items when it ends. The meetings docs list this on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans.
- Paste the meeting link into your chat with the Bot and ask it to join and take notes.
- Approve the card.
- Admit the Bot when the meeting starts; it joins with "transcribing" in its name.
- For a client call, choose Disable Interactivity so it only takes notes.
A consultant can run every discovery call this way and get the action list in the chat straight after.

3. Inbox and Slack drafts you approve
The docs' inbox manager example sorts unread mail into urgent, needs a reply and FYI, then drafts replies without sending. Draft cards show Needs approval by default, and you choose Send or Discard.
A plumber's office can run this before the phones open and clear the urgent jobs first. You can switch drafts off per Bot, but leave them on until you trust the output.
4. Phone calls to businesses
A Bot can call a business to book a table or ask about an order, then tell you how it went. The phone call docs say calls are US only, from the desktop and phone apps.
- Accept the calling terms the first time; they say you'll only call US businesses and people who've consented to hear from you.
- Check who the Bot will call, then choose Call or Cancel.
- Watch the live transcript, and choose Take over if you want to join.
- Read the transcript or play the recording afterwards.
A US cafe owner can have the Bot ring a supplier about a late delivery. See the Grok Bot phone calls guide for the full flow.
5. Vault sign-in and checkout
Vault stores logins, cards and contact info. A Bot never sees a saved password, card number or security code, per the Vault docs.
The docs also say a saved card fills in at checkout without asking you each time. If you want to approve every payment, don't save the card, and add an Ask first rule for payments in Settings, General, under Bot. My Grok Bot Vault walkthrough covers the setup.

6. Computer use for sites with no app
Each Bot gets its own screen on the shared computer, and you can watch it work from the preview. The computer and apps docs say the Bot hands you control for single sign-on, passkeys, CAPTCHAs, QR codes and bank card checks.
A shop owner can have a Bot pull last month's numbers from a supplier portal that has no connector. Signed-in sessions are shared across your Bots, so sign in once.

7. Skills and Teach a task
A skill is a saved set of instructions every Bot on your account can use. When Teach a task shows up, you can demonstrate a browser workflow instead of typing it out; it records visible computer interaction for up to ten minutes and no microphone audio. The skill it creates is a draft, so test it on a safe example first.
An agency can teach the Bot how it builds a weekly client report once, then put that skill on a routine.
8. Team Bots in Slack and Microsoft Teams
Share a Bot with your team, and each person's chat with it stays private. The Team Bots docs say Team Bots always run in the cloud and are available on Team and Enterprise plans. The owner or a Manager connects it to Slack, and it acts for whoever mentioned it. The Grok Bot teams page has more.
9. Group chats where Bots hand off work
Add two to six Bots to a group chat and give each stage one owner with an @mention. A useful kickoff: @Researcher gathers sources, @Writer drafts, @Reviewer checks every claim, and nobody publishes.
10. The phone app
The mobile docs list iPhone with iOS 18 or later, iPad, and Android 9 or later. The app connects to the same Bots, routines and cloud computer. In your own chat with your own Bot, it can use Calendar, Contacts, Location and Alarms, plus Reminders and Home on iPhone only.
Bonus uses: tag @bot on X to hand a post to your main Bot (not yet available for accounts based in Australia, the UK, the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway), claim a Bot email address at mail.grokbot.com, and ask for images in 1:1, 16:9 or 9:16.
How to run these inside your Agent OS
Grok Bot covers the jobs above. The rest of your stack, the agents that write pages and run your content, lives in your Agent OS. To choose models for those jobs, check the scores on Goldie Bench.
Grok Bot picks its own model for each task, so model choice only matters for the tools you run beside it.
