Handbook
Grok Bot handbook — read in this order
Seven lessons from “which product is this?” to a first reversible job. Official docs stay the source of truth. This site is the order, the disambiguation, and the failure map.
Lessons
Finish one page before opening the next. Do not install twelve Bots on day one.
What Grok Bot is
Split Grok Bot from grok.com, Grok the model, Grok Build, and grok-app.
Install and sign in
Official packages, Cursor login, iOS and Android, Legacy Privacy Mode.
First Bot
One name, one job, copyable briefs that stop at drafts.
Shared computer
One shared cloud PC. Screens are not a fence. Recover before Reset.
Skills and routines
How versus when. Teach a task, then automate.
Plugins and MCP
Connectors first. Remote MCP only. Common OAuth failures.
Cost and pitfalls
Weekly pool, On-Demand spillover, and week-burning habits.
FAQ
Where should I start if I have never opened Grok Bot?
Read What Grok Bot is, then Install, then First Bot. Skip tools and alternatives until one job has returned a checkable draft.
Do I need this handbook if I already have the official docs?
Official docs are the source of truth. This handbook is the reading order, the product split (not grok.com), and the failure modes the docs do not group by symptom.
How long is the path?
Seven short lessons. One evening is enough to install, name one Bot, and run a read-only job. Skills and routines wait until two good runs.
