Grok Bot use cases: 18 real bots and routines
Grok Bots people actually run, from a morning AI news brief to a plumber's daily back-office run. Most come from posts on X. Each recipe has the prompt, the steps and the point where the bot has to ask you first.
Two of them made money: one shared as templates through X's rewards pilot, and one that built and ran a small sponsor-funded site.
Bots that made money
His agent picked a problem his audience had, built a site for it, then kept improving it and sold sponsor spots through a Stripe link.
He shared the Grok Bots he uses every day as free templates. X's invite-only rewards pilot (Grok Bot Template Rewards in X's guide) paid him based on how many people used them.

A starter stack of routines (incl. a bot that checks your bots)
Four routines: a midnight check of the other bots, weekday inbox triage that only advises, a daily post, and a Monday review of last week's posts.
Walk into a store and your bot tells you what to grab
His bots add errands to a shared Notion list. When he arrives at a store, an iPhone Shortcut fires a Grok Bot routine that tells him what to buy there, and stays quiet if there's nothing.
Research & monitoring
Morning AI news brief, primary sources only
A daily routine that searches the web and X for the last 24 hours of AI news and returns a short, sourced brief.
Watch a product changelog; stay quiet when nothing's new
A bot checks the official changelog every morning and alerts only when there's a new release.
A daily deep-dive on one new topic
A bot that picks a new topic every morning, researches it in depth and sends a short lesson.
Daily check for new connectors and models
A request posted publicly to Grok Bot: check daily for new tools, connectors, plugins or models and explain how to connect them, skipping empty days.
Sales & support
Teach a lead-reply skill by screen-sharing once
He walked Grok Bot through how he researches and replies to high-value leads; it saved that as a skill and now finds, scores and drafts replies each morning.
Daily back-office run for a trade business
As described in the post, a plumber's Grok Bot logs into his business software each morning and runs his daily admin routine while he's on jobs.
Site-walk photos → client-ready proposal
A construction PM walks the job, exports annotated photos as a PDF, and Grok Bot turns it into a formatted proposal for his review.
Shopping & travel
Flight price watch with a threshold
Check one route every morning and alert when it drops below your threshold; buying stays with you.
Daily marketplace deal finder
A first Grok Bot routine: scan a marketplace every morning for unusually cheap tech. The original also messages sellers; our version drafts messages for you to send.
Suspicious online order → evidence file + refund push
After a dog-house order felt off, the poster's Grok Bot reviewed the emails, gathered proof the seller wasn't authorized, and worked the back-and-forth until the order was canceled and refunded.
