The more you rely on Grok Bot, the harder it would be to start from scratch.
If you lost access to your account tomorrow, could you rebuild your setup?
Here’s a prompt to create an automatic backup routine and a recovery checklist, stored outside your account, so you can get back up and running faster:
“Help me create a backup and recovery SOP for my Grok Bot setup.
1 - Map my setup.
Help me ask each Bot to document its own job, rules, memory, skills and routines. Don’t assume one Bot can see what the others have learned. Include essential files, preferences and context. Flag anything inaccessible or missing.
2 - Save a recovery pack.
Help me connect Google Drive or OneDrive first. Save a readable rebuild document in a private folder I can access without Grok Bot.
Include a connections table: each app, the account it uses, which Bots use it and what they’re allowed to do. Exclude passwords, API keys and login tokens.
3 - Write the rebuild instructions.
Use this order: reconnect apps, create Bots, restore their documented instructions and context, add skills, then recreate routines in a paused state. Configure approval rules before enabling anything.
Clearly mark where I’ll need to sign in again. Prioritise the workflows I depend on most and include a manual fallback while Grok Bot is unavailable.
4 - Test a recovery.
Walk me through rebuilding one non-critical workflow without changing the original. Keep external actions paused.
Ask the original and rebuilt Bot the same three questions about its job, rules and preferences. Compare the answers and test the workflow. Record what worked, what was missing and what still needs testing.
5 - Keep it current.
After I approve the destination and first backup, create a monthly routine to update the rebuild document. Also update it after changes to a Bot. Explain any update that requires me to trigger it manually.
Keep dated versions, verify the saved files can be read and tell me if a backup fails or is incomplete.
6 - Make restarting safe.
Check unfinished work, missed tasks and actions already completed, so restarting doesn’t send duplicate messages or repeat transactions.
Rebuilt routines start paused. Check what each one sends or changes, then ask for my approval to enable them one at a time.
Finish with a one-page ‘Start here’ checklist covering:
What’s backed up.
What needs manual rebuilding.
What to restore first.
What doesn’t come back, including past chat history and anything a Bot learned that wasn’t captured.”
You’ve put time into getting Grok Bot working the way you want.
Make sure you’ve also kept the instructions to build it again.

If you're tired of 3rd parties sharing your email address here's a prompt to give your Grok @bot (or any other agent):
Remove my personal and contact info from B2B contact-data sellers and people-search brokers (e.g. Apollo, ZoomInfo, RocketReach, Lusha, ContactOut, Seamless AI, Hunter, Clearbit, Cognism, Kaspr, SignalHire, People Data Labs, LeadIQ, Adapt io, UpLead, plus any others common in my country).
1. Ask me for my name, the emails I use, and where I live, then look up each provider's current official opt-out route on their own site.
2. Write a short deletion and opt-out request that cites the privacy law that applies where I live (e.g. GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or another US state law, PIPEDA, the Australian Privacy Act). Request deletion of all my data, an end to any sale or sharing, deletion of linked profiles, and written confirmation.
3. Show me the emails as drafts from my own email account. Send them only after I approve.
4. Fill out web forms for providers that don't accept email.
5. Give me a list of what was sent, what's still pending, and any confirmation links I need to click.
6. Offer to repeat this every quarter.
Any other ideas welcome in the replies, tired of getting this spam.

I got tired of all the spam calls I was getting so I had @bot find my number listed on sites and file the removals. I made it a free skill so you can do the same. x.ai/bot/fUj6TYhiW_cjtzWvbsF…

Worth watching: "It is not a genocide; it is a counterattack in a war."
This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."

If you want to get ahead, just be easy to work with. Show up on time. Do what you said you'd do. Bring solutions, not problems. Never create drama. Be responsive. Be emotionally consistent. Be kind. People will always want to support someone who just makes their life easier.
As easy as asking
After @elonmusk tweeted my guide to connecting Claude and ChatGPT to Grok @Bot, people had 5 questions.
1. Do I need an API key?
Nah. Just log into Claude or ChatGPT, like you do in VS Code, terminal, etc.
2. Do I need new subscriptions?
Nope. Just use the Claude and ChatGPT plans you already pay for. Now you get more for your $
3. What's the point?
Claude writes closer to my taste. And some projects only come out right on certain models.
4. Won't Claude or ChatGPT log me out when Grok logs in?
I never got logged out. My Grok @Bot & my Mac both access those subscrptions.
5. How do I set it up?
Easy! Just send your Grok Bot this:
"Connect to my Claude and ChatGPT subscriptions using Claude Code and Codex."
It opens a terminal on its computer, installs both command-line tools, and asks you to log in. That's it.
Grok Bot just got a serious brain upgrade
With Claude Opus 5.5 entering the stack, one Bot could run an entire AI team that researches, writes code, uses tools, verifies results, and delivers finished work
Here's how to build it in 10 steps:
James Anderson retweeted
step 1: buy a junior legal pad (5x8 in)
step 2: write today's date at the top
step 3: fill the page with whatever is on your mind
step 4: read yesterday's and today's note
step 5: repeat every single day for the rest of your life
writing in the morning lowers anxiety through the prefrontal cortex, primes executive function and focus, improves clarity and decision making, clears mental clutter AND IT FEELS GOOD.
start your day with writing.

If AI labs want personal assistants to take off at scale, they need to stop marketing vacations, reservations, party planning, etc. These are not problems.
Focus on *the* problem facing Americans: the cost of living. Agents can offer a ton of help.

holy f*ck, the best Grok bots were built by SpaceXAI's own engineers and they're free
you don't need to build a grok bot from scratch. xAI's own team already shipped 49 you can install right now
every single one built by their engineers, tested, and live in the marketplace
trading bots, research agents, support bots, content bots, all one click away
people charge $50-200 for bots like these on other platforms
this section is free
no prompt engineering, no config files, no 72-hour build
pick one, hit install, it's already doing the job
most people are still writing their first agent from zero
49 are already shipped, running, and cost nothing
check the marketplace below ⭣
