Grok Bot use cases
The best Bot roles own a repeatable outcome, not a loose category of questions. Start each role with read-and-prepare work, review the result, and only then add approved actions or a routine.
Every starter prompt below ends at a review point on purpose. Keep sending, publishing, purchasing, and production changes behind approval.
Sales outbound
Owns account research, contact prioritization, and review-ready outreach. Connect your CRM, product-intent sources, and email.
Research the 25 accounts in this CRM view. Score them against our ideal customer profile and recent intent, identify up to three relevant contacts per account, and draft email and LinkedIn outreach in the style examples attached. Skip anyone already in an active sequence. Return a review list; don't send or enroll anyone.
Once the output is reliable, schedule a nightly research routine that stops at the review list.
Talent scout
Owns sourcing, candidate research, and outreach drafts. Connect your applicant tracking system, approved sourcing tools, email, and calendar.
For this role description, find 20 candidates who meet the must-have criteria. Exclude anyone already in our ATS, explain the evidence for each match, and draft personalized outreach in my voice. Don't contact anyone.
Keep external outreach behind approval, and have the Bot respect candidate privacy and each source's terms.
Paid media
Owns campaign monitoring and budget recommendations. Connect your advertising platforms, analytics, budget spreadsheet, and Slack.
Pull current spend and performance by campaign. Compare it with the monthly budget and target customer acquisition cost, then recommend reallocations with the supporting numbers. Draft a Slack update for the growth team. Don't change budgets or send the message.
Keep campaign changes behind approval even after the analysis becomes a routine.
Expense manager
Owns weekly expense reconciliation and missing-information follow-up. Connect your expense system, email, and finance spreadsheets.
Build this week's expense summary from the expense system and the attached policy. Match receipts from the finance inbox, flag missing categories or policy exceptions, and draft one follow-up per owner. Return the summary and drafts; don't send messages or change reimbursements.
Ask for a policy citation on every exception and totals that reconcile back to the source.
Product performance
Owns targeted performance investigations with evidence. Connect observability, analytics, and incident tooling.
Investigate the checkout latency increase since yesterday's release. Review dashboards and traces, identify the highest-confidence hotspot, and return a short write-up with screenshots and direct links. Separate facts from hypotheses. Don't change alerts or production settings.
Use a routine for a recurring health report, not for unsupervised production changes.
Bug reproduction
Owns turning reports into reliable reproduction packs. Connect your issue tracker and a staging environment.
Read this bug report and reproduce it in staging with a fresh test account. Return exact steps, expected and actual behavior, screenshots, browser and OS details, and a minimal test case if possible. Don't use production customer data.
Provide test credentials through a secure handoff, not chat.
Account health
Owns risk and expansion signals across a customer portfolio. Connect your CRM, product usage, support, and billing sources.
Review the accounts in this portfolio. Combine recent usage, support escalations, renewal timing, and stakeholder activity into a ranked watch list. For each account, include the evidence, why it matters, and a suggested next step. Don't contact customers or edit the CRM.
Define risk thresholds in the Bot's description so the weekly result stays consistent.
Chief of staff
Owns a source-linked digest of what changed and what needs your attention. Connect Slack, email, calendar, and your planning documents.
Review activity since yesterday across my approved channels, inbox, calendar, and meeting notes. Return only items that map to the priorities in this document. For each item, include the source, why it matters, the proposed next step, and whether I owe a decision. Don't send messages or change meetings.
Mark what was useful and what was noise, then schedule the digest for a time you can review it.
Turn a role into a durable Bot
- Put the job, source systems, output format, and standing boundaries in the Bot's description.
- Run one real task with a safe scope.
- Correct the result until it's reviewable without you.
- Save the working process as a skill, and test it on a second input.
- Create a routine only after retries and failure cases are defined.
- Keep consequential external actions behind approval.
