How to Add a Grok Bot

Grok bots are task-specific assistants that run inside xAI's Grok. Each public bot is shared through an official x.ai link, and adding one takes a single click — its instructions, routines, and settings arrive pre-configured. This guide covers the whole flow: finding bots, adding them, and sharing your own.

What a Grok bot template is

A Grok bot is a saved configuration for Grok: a name, a description, system instructions that define how it behaves, and optionally routines (scheduled or triggered actions), memories, and skills. When someone shares a bot publicly, xAI publishes it at a link of the form https://x.ai/bot/<id>. Anyone who opens that link can add the bot to their own Grok with everything pre-configured — there is nothing to copy-paste.

Adding a bot from the catalog

• Browse the catalog on thegrokbots.com by category, or search for a job you want done ("tax estimator", "code reviewer", "content calendar").
• Open a bot to read its summary, instructions overview, skills, routines, and integrations before committing.
• Click the add/install link. It opens the bot's official x.ai page.
• Confirm in Grok — the bot appears in your list with its instructions and routines already set up.

Choosing a bot worth installing

Because anyone can publish a bot, a minute of vetting pays off:

• Read the instructions summary — it should clearly state what the bot does and what it does not do.
• Check which integrations it touches (Gmail, Notion, GitHub, …) and make sure you are comfortable granting those.
• Prefer bots whose author is visible and whose description matches what you need.
• Treat a bot asking for broad permissions for a trivial job with suspicion.

Creating and sharing your own bot

Build the bot inside Grok: describe its job in the instructions, add routines or skills if it needs them, then use Grok's share option to publish it publicly. Copy the resulting x.ai/bot/… link and submit it through the Submit Template button on thegrokbots.com so other people can discover it. Submissions are credited to the X handle you provide.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is adding a Grok bot free?

Yes. Adding a publicly shared bot to your Grok is free; normal Grok usage limits still apply to running it.

Do I need a paid Grok plan?

Bot availability and usage depend on your Grok plan. Browsing this directory is free either way.

Can I edit a bot after adding it?

Yes — once a bot is in your Grok you can adjust its instructions and routines like any bot you built yourself.

How do I remove a bot?

Delete it from your bots list in Grok, exactly as you would a bot you created yourself.

Why does a listing link to x.ai instead of installing directly?

Installation always happens on xAI's platform. This directory only organizes the public share links — the official link is the safest path to install.
