Lesson 5
You’re here · Your first hour
Your first hour
No fluff. One Bot. One small job. Then you walk away.
- 1
Download the Grok Bot app
Phone or desktop. It is its own app — not the @grok account on X, and not the regular Grok chat window.
- 2
Create one Bot with a sentence
Example: “You handle my research. You never buy anything. You ask me before you send mail.” That sentence is the job description.
- 3
Give it access only when it asks
Like handing a coworker a guest login. You help with the first sign-in and any “is this you?” check. You do not dump a list of passwords into the chat.
- 4
Give one real, small job
Something you actually need this week. Not a TED Talk prompt. One task with a clear stop line: “Don’t buy. Don’t send. Don’t book.”
- 5
Go do something else
Cook. Commute. Sleep. That is the point. If you sit and watch it click, you hired a screensaver.
- 6
Read what it brought back
A shortlist, a draft, a cart, a file. Then say yes, no, or “try again with this tweak.”
“Find 3 quiet coffee shops near me that open before 7am. One paragraph each. Don’t book anything.”
Small. Real. Has a stop line. You can go make eggs.
“Run my whole business while I sleep.”
That’s a movie. Day one is an errand, not a coup.
