0:00All right. So, if you've been building a team of Grock bots like I have, you've probably noticed they keep getting new upgrades like every other week. So, today I'm going to walk you through five tools that I believe give your bots actual superpowers. And I'm starting with a skill pack made by someone who literally helps build Grockbot. It's called Pest Stack. And if you've never used it before, you really should. It's a skill pack from Lauren Tan, who leads development on Grockbot. It comes with all sorts of skills like unslop, which
0:27scrubs the AI tells out of your writing. My favorite is bro, which restates whatever your bot just said in plain English. Then there's teach for when you want to actually understand how something works instead of just getting a summary. And correct looks at the mistakes your coding bots keep repeating and adds checks like tests so they can't make them again. You don't even have to remember them since starting a task with potato mode has your bot make a to-do list and pull in whatever skills it needs on its own. But if you'd rather skip the setup, her Dr. Eggbot comes with Pstack built in and can even design
0:58new bots for you. But a bot with superpowers still needs a way to deal with the outside world. Which brings me to tool number two. Your bots can now get their very own email address. Just ask the bot to get itself one, approve the name, and you've got something like uh your name at mail.grockbot.com.
1:15And this is a lot bigger than it sounds. Before, if you wanted a bot handling email, you pretty much had to hand it the keys to your personal Gmail. Now, it has an inbox that's actually its own. So, your bot can sign up for a service with its own address and grab the verification code with your okay, of course. Or it can be where all your receipts and newsletters go, so it can summarize them for you later. And don't worry, it still asks before sending you anything you didn't tell it to. Just know you only get one address per account, and the name's permanent, so choose wisely. And email isn't the only
1:48thing your boss can keep an eye on. Now, before we get to number three, here's a bonus tool which puts it up to what six whatever. It's a connector called Plaid, and it gives your Grockbot read access to your bank account, so it can help with uh budgeting and financing. I'm not sure what the implications are of giving your Grockbot access to your bank account, but I mean, it's only just your life savings. And now on to the real number three. On October 7th, Grockbot got built-in access to X. No connector, no setup. Every Grockbot user can just ask their bot to search and monitor posts on X. You can track a topic or
2:23keep tabs on a competitor. And since news usually breaks on X first, your bot can hear about it before you do. Throw it on a daily routine and you get a rundown every morning without lifting a finger. And if you need it to read your own timeline or mentions, you can still connect your ex account on top of that. Hey, real quick. There's actually a limit on how many X posts your bot can pull in a single task. and a single day as well, I believe. So, I asked my Grockbot on what the theoretical limit was, and I think they said it's around 25,000, but don't quote me on that. Just
2:54be aware there's a limit. But all these new tools means more bots, and more bots means more chats to keep up with. And that's where number four comes in. Grobbot recently added the primary bot. You can make a brand new one or promote a bot you already have, and it gets a little star next to its name in the sidebar. Think of it as the one bot you actually talk to. Give it a task and it figures out which of your other bots should handle it, then reports back once it's done. But here's what makes it actually useful. It's proactive. Instead of sitting around waiting for orders,
3:26your primary bot checks in on its own with work it can take off your plate, and you decide what it handles. You can only have one, so make it count. My advice is to keep it as the manager, not the worker. The second it starts doing every job itself, nobody's coordinating anything. And if you want to take that whole idea to the extreme, that's where
3:44my fifth and final tool comes in. Lately, I've been seeing these massive prompts on X that turn one Grockbot into a full-fledged team. You paste it into one bot, and it builds the whole crew for you, with the chief of staff on top that's the only one you talk to. You'll still need to give each bot context, obviously. But what makes a good ones work is all the checks. Each bot owns one job, so they aren't stepping on each other's toes. The boss bot looks over the work before you, and anything risky like sending an email or even spending money waits for your okay, and this can
4:16help catch a ton of nonsense before you even see it. Just know more bots mean more usage, so only add one when the job really needs it. And those are the five tools I believe give your Grock bots actual superpowers. Each one is cool on its own, but stack them together and you've got a team that handles its own inbox and checks its own work while you're off doing something else. So, if you've got Grockbot, try even one of these and let me know down in the comments which one you're setting up first. And if you've already built your own team in a box, I seriously want to
4:45hear about it. And if you made it this far, thanks again for watching. And uh YouTube thinks you'll like this video, so feel free to check it out. It It's there, right? I'm not seeing it.
