Building things with SI & Grok Bots.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@BrianRoemmele Reminders are my favorite part too. My Grok Bot puts mine at the top with big emojis and a big heading, like when Tesla is SpaceX events are 2 hours away, so I can't miss them. The missed-response check is a great idea. I would use that for the replies I forget to answer.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@rohanpaul_ai Love that they used shared notes for this. My Grok Bots work on the same computer, so one saves a file and the next one just picks it up. I don't copy anything between chats. Seeing 4 agents finish Minecraft that way makes me want to give mine bigger jobs.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@kevinhoff That would be even better. Two of my four calls today went to voicemail, and a Grok Bot answering for the business would have picked those up.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

Elon says Grok Bot can now call a person or a business for you, and this morning my Grok Bot made four calls for me. The built-in calling is not in the official release notes yet, so my Grok Bot used Bland AI, a calling service with a free plan.

Here is how it works:

1. One of my Grok Bots is connected to Bland's free plan, with its key saved securely, never in the chat.
2. My only part is typing the phone number and the exact words I want said.
3. My Grok Bot sends the call to Bland and waits for it to finish.

Two calls were answered live. The other two were not answered, so my Grok Bot left a voicemail. After each call, it told me what happened: who answered, how long the call lasted, and what was said.

One thing to know: the calls come from random numbers, so a phone that silences unknown callers may block them. You can change your phone’s settings to start receiving those calls.

Grok @Bot can now call someone or a business for you, make a request on your behalf, take notes on the response and send you a note summarizing the conversation!

It is a Grok Bot template I made for when a Grok Bot's chat gets too long. It makes a fresh copy with a short chat and moves over the memory, files, picture, and routines. The copy keeps its routines paused until the old one stops, so nothing runs twice, and it waits for your yes at each risky step. Here it is: https://t.co/65Eqo71rpg

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@dymiai That was one of the parts I worried about most. I did not want two Grok Bots running the same routine at the same time.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

New Grok Bot template: BotDuplicator.

When a Grok Bot has been working for you for weeks, its chat gets very long. In my own usage checks, my long chats use much more than my routines do, and they get slower. But you do not want to start over, because that Grok Bot already knows your rules, your files, and your routines.

That is why I made BotDuplicator. I used it this week on one of my busiest Grok Bots, and the copy started with a short chat and the same memory, files, picture, and routines.

Why use it:

It makes a fresh copy with a short chat. Memory, files, profile picture, and routines move over, and it gives you a list of the few settings you have to set again yourself.

It makes sure no routine runs twice. The copy creates its routines paused, the old Grok Bot pauses its own, and only then does the copy turn them on.

It stops for your yes. It follows 9 steps, and at every risky one it waits for you.

It never deletes anything on its own. Both Grok Bots stay for a few days, and you delete the old one only when you are sure.

It saves a backup first. A private backup is kept for a few days in case something goes wrong.

If one of your Grok Bots feels slow, try BotDuplicator before you start over. @Phil_Holland

@Chansoo @bot @poteto @Tesla @TeslaSI @aelluswamy @grok @robotaxi @Tesla_Optimus @TeslaBoomerMama @wholemars @WR4NYGov Talking it through with Dr. Eggbot is how I make my Grok Bots too. I tell it the job, it asks me a few questions, and then the new Grok Bot shows up ready to use.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@rohanpaul_ai I agree with this. I use different Grok Bots for different things, one finds good deals and watches for a price drop, one plans my trips, one cleans up my inbox, and I also have one for my Bible questions. I never thought I would end up with so many.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@GrokBotRadar I see the same thing in my own usage checks. My long chats use much more than my routines do. That is why I made a small helper Grok Bot with a light chat to take the heavy jobs instead of doing everything in one long chat.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@DirtyTesLa I connected my calendar, Google Drive, and Notion to Grok Bot once and have not touched it since. Doing all of that again for every new agent would get old for me too.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@Scott_Weidig @parker__conrad @bot @aegeantic That is why I started using the voice calls. When I talk it through out loud I say much more than I ever would typing on my phone, and it is easier to add the details I forgot halfway through.

@Phil_Holland @JonnyCakeSouza @LadySoleil33 @marshallfrith @SnarfLab @maverickmath @HudsonSutherla2 @LisaMAUSA @webgebraeu Thank you, Phil! It is fun to see all 13 of mine on the Bot Shelf next to so many others from people building Grok Bots.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@KettlebellDan I use it to clean up my e-mail too. My Yahoo went from 380k unread to 106k on the first day. I shared my Yahoo Mail and Gmail Grok Bots as templates so anyone can add them to their own.

@mrfundman I use my DealScout Grok Bot to find well-reviewed products at good prices, and it can watch for a price drop. It sends me the links and I do the checkout myself. If more stores made checkout easy for agents, I could hand off that last step too.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

@MarioNawfal Most of the time I remember something I need to do when I am not at my computer. Now I can just tell Grok Bot on my phone to put it on my calendar or add a reminder.

[Carolina Dill @CarolinaDill]

Grok Bot ads are now up in Penn Station in New York, where more than 600,000 people pass through every day. Until now, most of the people I see talking about Grok Bot are people who build things. An ad in a train station reaches people on their way to work who just want help with their day. I believe some of them will ask a friend who already uses one (or read about it here) what to try first. That is a good reason for those of us who use Grok Bot every day to share real examples. Mine plan trips, find deals, and keep a family ledger, and each one started as a small everyday job.

SpaceX is running Grok Bot ads in Penn Station in NYC, which serves 600,000+ passengers per day.
