How do you create a Grok Bot?

What is the click path?

xAI's Bots doc, read on 24 August 2026, says you create via New chat, then Create new agent, then Edit Profile. The profile fields are name, title, description, and avatar. Conversation is the task. Title is the one-line job. Description holds durable rules and approvals.

1. Install the macOS or Windows app and sign in with an eligible plan.
2. Open New chat, then Create new agent.
3. Edit Profile. Use a short name. Write one primary job in the title.
4. In the description, name the sources, the output format, and the stop line. Put send, publish, purchase, deletion, and production behind approval.
5. Give the Bot a first task that repeats those four things: outcome, sources, constraints, deliverable.
6. Take over the computer for passwords, passkeys, two-factor codes, and CAPTCHAs.
7. Correct the process. Save a skill only after the job works twice. Create a routine after that.

What do you put in the profile?

xAI's first-Bot example is a product-performance investigator called Piper. The useful part is the stopping rule: keep links and screenshots, separate evidence from hypotheses, never change production. Write that kind of sentence into the description before you write a personality.

If the job is already a roster on this directory, do not hand-build six profiles. Use Install a Grok Bot team. If you want the profile language we use on recipes, see Write a Grok Bot profile.

When should you stop at one Bot?

One Bot is enough when one job owns the outcome. A group chat is for two to six Bots that should talk to each other. A second Bot is not a security boundary. See Grok Bot group chat and Grok Bot security.
