My bot gave itself an 8. I gave it a 2.
That's when I stopped letting bots grade their own work. I wrote up everything I learned building 40+ Grok Bots as a non-coder, from the usage wall to lint rules to what's still broken. https://t.co/CMKo5iDYfI
I still score by hand for now. The goal is to need me less over time, not more, so the real fix went a level deeper. I learned to spell out the goal clearly enough that the bot stops guessing, then I turned what worked into lint rules so it can't drift back. Every rule that sticks is one less thing I have to catch myself.

Totally fair, more no's would probably keep it sharper. What surprised me was how often it said 'yes, but smaller' instead. It cut a $160 day trip to a $120 cap with browse-only stops, and it sent my dog's shots to a low-cost clinic instead of a full vet visit. It's less of a gatekeeper and more of a negotiator.
Meet Ledger, my Grok Bot money manager ๐ฐ
Whether I want to buy something or one of my bots recommends it, Ledger weighs it against my week first: OK, no, cheaper, wait, or cut it.
And yes, it can tell me no too. Built with @bot, no code.
#GrokBot#AI#SI
@kylekane@bot Yep. When another bot recommends buying something, it has to clear Ledger first. Out of 16 calls so far, Ledger told them no 3 times, said yes to 7, and said 'yes, but wait' on the other 6. That last one is the most useful. Usually it's not no, it's not yet.
I'm one of those people. Started the Warehouse-on-Wheels yard at Giga Texas by myself on an empty lot, then built nights from a handful of folks and grew it into four shifts. I'd come back for Cybercab in a heartbeat.
There are efficiency improvements coming that will allow for a 40kWh Cybercab pack. We will make this in liquid silver, so the colors are not too monotonous.
The biggest thing most people fail to understand is that there are a very limited number of smart, dedicated people! They can only do so many things.
If we have to maintain a complex production line, supply chain and allocate engineering for Cybertruck, we canโt use those people or factory space and machinery for scaling Cybercab, which is the vehicle that will PROFOUNDLY transform the world of terrestrial transport!
@BoredElonMusk@Starlink it see's through fiberglass, even if painted, with no issue. if you have a vehicle or the roof/panel above your set up is made out of fiberglass you'll still get clear strong signal.
ngl, the Grok @bot usage change stings. It feels like I won't be able to do as much as before.
But looking back, the usage wasn't the problem. My design was. I kept going through version after version, and mistakes still got through.
Grok Bot was always able to do it leaner. That part doesn't change. What changes is how I build, and I get better at it each round. So I'm taking this as a challenge: work harder, and build bots that use less and still get the job done.
I don't think higher tiers are the answer. Growing together is, the same way the @spacexai team keeps sharing its wins with us, big and small. I hope other template creators and anyone building something ambitious will join in.
hereโs a short grok bot guide on how i create high quality bots and manage my team. ask @bot to read this post and help you improve your team!
โข add dr eggbot to your team! heโs my bot designer that i use to create bots
โข you donโt need a lot of bots. a few good bots can be more useful and easier to manage than a large team
โข tell your bots to create skills for itself as you give it instructions on how to do tasks. this lets them do them more consistently even over long conversations. you can even ask it to create a private github repo for you to store all your skills if you want them preserved independently
โข add connectors, use the vault, and give access to all the tools you use to do your work. you can also ask your bot to setup its own email and it can sign up for its own accounts for better separation
โข thinking about all the work you do by hand, or steps in your workflows where you have to copy and paste information back to your bot. ask your bot how it can do that for you instead!
โข imagine you hired an intern, how would you onboard them and help them do the work correctly and efficiently? introduce yourself to your bot and describe the work you do, then ask it how it can help you automate it
and my favorite tip: use voice mode or the transcription option! itโs a good way to just brain dump a lot of information. then, at the end, tell your bot to โrestate this in your own wordsโ so you can confirm it understood you

Hey @poteto / @spacexai ๐ I'm building a cozy 2.5D mining game for iOS & Android, made entirely by my Grok Bot team. I write zero code. My bots handle the code, art, music and testing, and I just direct the game.
Why me: I'm the exact user Grok Bot is for. I'm not a developer, I already run a full team of bots, and I share the journey on X. A finished, good-looking game made with no code would be a real showcase.
The catch is usage. I keep hitting my weekly limit and have to stop mid-build. Is there any way to support a project like this so I can keep it going? I'd happily share progress, feedback and everything I learn with the team.
Meet Professional Writer, my Grok Bot writer โ๏ธ
It writes my cover letters, portfolio pieces and outreach in plain, natural English that sounds like me, not a template.
Every word reads like a real person wrote it. Built with @bot , no code.
#GrokBot#AI
Meet Interview Prep, my Grok Bot interview coach ๐ฏ
It builds STAR answers from my real wins, runs mock interviews, sharpens my openers and gets me ready for the tough questions.
I walk in prepared instead of nervous. Built with @bot , no code.
#GrokBot#AI
I stopped guessing at what's wrong with my truck. Now I just ask.
Master Mechanic is a Grok @bot that works like having a seasoned mechanic in your pocket, one who knows your exact vehicle and never upsells you.
๐ง Tell it the noise, the light or the leak, and it walks you through the diagnosis step by step
๐ Builds a parts list for your exact year, make and model, so you never buy the wrong part
๐ฐ Hunts the lowest real price on parts and tools, with no markups and no dealer games
๐ ๏ธ Turns any repair into plain-English steps with torque specs and the tools you'll need
๐ Keeps a live dashboard of your vehicle's health, maintenance and what's due next
๐ง Remembers every job you've done, so it gets smarter about your ride over time
Saving hundreds at the shop starts with knowing what you're actually paying for.
Watch it in action ๐
#GrokBot #AI
My resume was getting ignored, so I built a bot to fix it.
Resume Builder is a Grok @bot that rewrites my resume for every job I apply to:
It cuts weak lines like "responsible forโฆ" and turns them into real results.
It matches my wording to what the posting actually asks for.
It scores me against ATS, the filters that screen resumes before a human sees them.
It keeps everything on one clean page.
Every line traces back to my real history, with nothing made up.
Check it out ๐
