@nvandewetering Rationing is real. Tonight I moved one of my bot's reply checks from every hour to every 3 hours just to make the week last. What eats most of yours, the screen share or the scheduled stuff?
@thtbee_ Is that a one-time reset or does it come back every week if you leave it on? I had to pause all my bots for a weekend last week when I got close to the limit.
@elonmusk@bot Best tip I'd give someone starting: give each bot one lane. One of mine runs Pinterest and X for my store, another keeps the product sheet, another handles SEO, and they all read the same shared doc.
Once I passed 30 Grok Bots, I started doing the opposite this week and merging them. My Kids bot and Family Schedule bot are one bot now, and Subscriptions moved in with Bills. Today the bot that built my Target pickup carts and did returns got folded into my main bot, so it just handles that itself. That's six bots merged since Monday.
What I've handed mine for my store so far, every day:
- 3 Pinterest pins
- 2 gift posts and an evening post on X
- an hourly check for replies
- keeping the product sheet up to date
@VadimStrizheus I run a small store by myself and the bots do the posting and keep the product sheet. What's the first job you'd hand a shared bot when you bring on one person?
@Hestia_Esq If wooden or classic toys are on the list, my store's Christmas guide sorts them by age from babies to 6+, with a cheaper pick in every group. https://t.co/AV0h8QueT5 (affiliate link)
@XFreeze This morning I told one bot to stop all posting for my store and it passed that along to the others. Everything held until I said go again a little after 11.
@Michael_Fenech_ Step 3's approval line is the part I'd keep the longest. Every Reddit comment my bots draft for my store still waits for my OK before it goes up.
@alexmichael Amazon already blocked my bot from my own account a couple weeks ago, and eBay made me change my password after it signed in. Letting it look at flights but not book is better than nothing. I'd rather they just let me approve the purchase myself.
@Texas_Twins_Dad Curious whether a shared bot keeps its own schedule. My Pinterest bot posts three pins a day, and I'd want that to keep running the same no matter who else is asking it for stuff.
@bot The learning part is what I'm watching. I still have one bot whose whole job is reading my other bots' chats once a week to catch instructions they forgot. If they start holding onto that on their own, that bot gets a lot less to do.
For the person on your list who does all the holiday chopping.
Found a maple cutting board that's 1.5 inches thick and about 10 pounds, so it stays put on the counter. Both sides are flat so you can flip it, and it's made in Effingham, Illinois.
A Grok Bot sent me an update yesterday about redirects and indexing on my store's site, and I couldn't follow most of it. I'm still learning this stuff. So now every bot has to explain things in plain words, like I'm not technical, and tell me if I actually need to do anything.
For the toddler who pushes anything with wheels across the kitchen floor.
Found a wooden starter train set. 18 pieces in FSC-certified wood, with a rainbow bridge and a little wagon that rattles. It hooks into other BRIO track too, so you can add to it next year.
