Install guides / Grok Bot

Install your agent in Grok Bot

Step 1: Create the Bot (about 3 minutes)

  1. In Grok Bot, click + and give the Bot your agent's name, for example Ava. Pick any shape and colour for now, then click Create.
  2. In the panel on the right, click under the name and set the label to its job, for example Office Manager. To add your agent's picture, click the Bot's picture, choose Upload and pick avatar/avatar-512.png.
  3. Grok Bot sets Bots up by chatting, so there's no description box. Skip its first question and paste this into the chat, followed by the whole of grok/description.md:

    Please save the following as your permanent profile and standing rules, and follow them in every chat:

  4. It should reply in character and confirm it has kept them.

Step 2: Add the skills

  1. For each file in grok/skills/, drop the file into the chat (or paste its contents) with this message:

    Please save this as a skill called and use it whenever the task matches:

  2. If your version of Grok Bot shows a Skills section, you can add them there instead. Skills are shared across your Bots, so you only add them once.

Step 3: First task

Paste grok/first-task.md into the chat. It introduces your agent to you and asks the setup questions it needs, such as your name, business and preferred times.

Test it

  • Ask: "What are your standing rules?"
  • Ask it to send something. It should draft and wait for your approval.

Notes

  • To share your agent with a colleague, use Share, then Create template, then Copy link. The template copies the profile, description and skills, but not your chat history.
  • Grok Bot is new and its menus are still changing.
