Grok Bot templates: what they are and when to use one
A Grok Bot template shares a bot's recipe, its instructions, skills and routines, but not its computer, logins or chat history. You install it, then connect your own apps.
A Grok Bot template is a recipe, not a clone. It carries the bot's instructions, skills and routines. It leaves behind the original bot's computer, logins, files and chat history, so you add your own.
| A template includes | A template leaves out |
|---|---|
| Instructions and the bot's job | The creator's logins and connected apps |
| Skills | Files on the creator's computer |
| Routines | Chat history and memory |
Where to find Grok Bot templates
- Grok Bot's own template sharing, built into the app. Team admins can turn public sharing on or off.
- Template directories such as grokmarket.io and the GrokBot.Rocks directory, which list public templates.
- Paid template packs, such as botemplate.com at $20 a template, $69 for five or $129 for all seventeen.
Read any public template's instructions before you install it. A template tells your bot what to do with your accounts.
Template or custom setup?
| A template is enough when | Go custom when |
|---|---|
| The job is common, like a morning brief | The job follows your own rules and pricing |
| It only reads and summarizes | It sends, books or spends anything |
| You have time to tune it | It touches clients, leads or money |
How I use templates in a setup
If a public template fits your job, I start from it rather than charge you to rebuild it. Then I connect your apps, write your rules and set the approvals. When a team needs the same bot for several people, I turn the finished bot into your own private template.
