What they did
- A USB mic or Bluetooth speaker with a mic, so he can talk from any room.
- A tiny program listens for the word. He says sound is checked and thrown away, never saved.
- He lowered sensitivity so plain "Grok" doesn't trigger it, and it ignores the word during calls.
- While cooking, he asks his There Lists bot to add ingredients to his store list.

Help me set up a "Hey Grok" wake word on this Mac that opens Grok Bot voice chat. Explain each step before you run anything, and ask before installing software.
1. Check my mic: [USB mic / Bluetooth speaker with a mic]. Confirm the Mac can hear it.
2. Install openWakeWord (https://github.com/dscripka/openWakeWord). First test it with the built-in "Hey Jarvis" model.
3. Once that works, train a custom "Hey Grok" model on this Mac.
4. Write a small listener that checks the mic audio on the spot and throws it away. Never record or save audio.
5. When it hears "Hey Grok", bring Grok Bot to the front and open voice chat.
6. Tuning: don't trigger on "Grok" alone, ignore the wake word while I'm on a call, and start the listener when the Mac starts.
7. Tell me how to pause it and how to remove it completely.
Set it up
- Test with the built-in "Hey Jarvis" word first.
- Paste the prompt so your bot sets up a custom "Hey Grok" model.
- Tune sensitivity and set it to start with your Mac.
🛡 The listener only opens voice chat. What happens next is a normal Grok Bot chat. Sending, buying, posting, and deleting always need a human.
