[0:00] Grockbot is an amazing tool for automating your business and setting up swarms of agents. I've used it now for a couple of weeks and there are actually a lot of hidden features that most people don't know about yet. So, in this video, I want to show you all of the Grockbot hacks that I know and how you can use them in your own setup. So, let's dive in. Okay, let's start with the first hack, which is the ChatGPT bridge. So, this is basically a way how I send commands from my ChatGPT over to my Grockbot. And the reason I do this is because I still use ChatGPT as my daily

[0:30] driver. I just really like the model. I really like the ChatGPT desktop app. Um but I do like to set up automations and all of my cloud actions on Grockbot. And so, I created this bridge so that I can basically send commands over very easily and have these commands executed on my Grockbot. So, let me show you how to set this up. Okay, the first thing you want to do is create a new bot and I called mine bridge bot. The way I created it is I used my Chief of Staff bot and just said, and this is how I create all of my bots. Now, I basically just like use my

[1:01] Chief of Staff to create bots. And I typed this prompt, "Can you create a new bot that's for me to communicate with Grockbot from my ChatGPT or my cloud code? The way I imagine it working is basically a bot which has a routine and it can trigger by webhook. And then from ChatGPT, I'll set up something um so that it can send commands over via webhook. And the something will be a skill." So, I'll show you how exactly to do that. So, yeah, I then created this bridge bot for me. So, let's click into that. And if I scroll up here, you can see the Chief of Staff bot here started

[1:35] creating the bridge bot. And once it was ready, it had already also set up the routine that is necessary for it to run. Actually, let's have a quick look what custom instruction this bot got. So, it essentially is saying, uh "This is the webhook bridge for Moritz. It receives commands from ChatGPT, cloud code, or other tools via webhook and carries them out in Grokbot. So, let's scroll down a

[2:00] bit. Let's Yeah, that's pretty much it. Okay, and then if we have a look at the actual routine that it also created and this is the important part. If we click into it, it says inbound command uh webhook and it's just a routine that is triggered by a webhook. And you can see here if I if I click on add another, these are essentially like the different triggers that you can set up. You can just classically of course do it on a schedule so it just runs on a schedule and you have these other actions here as well. And this webhook action is pretty new. So, uh this is what we're using for

[2:34] this and the webhook is essentially just you can imagine it like you know, just like you can send any anything to kind of like a server that's just sitting there waiting for a request. And once you actually create that, you're going to get some credentials which I won't show you now here because I just don't want to blur it out later but you'll get some credentials and um you essentially now have your bridge bot. You have a routine set up within that bridge bot which, you know, accepts like webhook requests. You can send commands to this webhook and now all we need is to set up

[3:05] the part with ChatGPT where it actually sends something over, right? Okay, so I the way I set this up was I just went into ChatGPT and said, "I want you to create a new skill for me." And it basically lets me pass commands over to my Grokbot and then just gave it a couple more details about, you know, what exactly I wanted it to do. And then below here, which I won't show now, is the all of the secrets and the credentials for the webhook. So that when ChatGPT creates the skill, it's able to, you know, like send it to the right place. So yeah, I went ahead and

[3:39] created the skill and then I said, "Let's test it out." And it essentially just sent like a test message here and we can go back into Grokbot to check it out. So you can see now here this test was received and afterwards then I did a couple more tests and I then said, "Create a new routine for my time tracker Grok Bot, end of day recap at 6:00." So, I just, you know, I I just specified a new routine that it should create. And then you can see here in Grok Bot, this command was received here. So, received the webhook, and then asked time tracker to create the daily

[4:11] end of uh end of day recap at 6:00. And so, my bridge bot will now message my time tracker bot, and then my time tracker bot actually went ahead and set up this routine for itself. So, now I have this bridge between ChatGPT and Grok Bot, and I can, for example, delegate some work over that I want to be done in the

[4:32] cloud. I can set up routines from there. I can like do all kinds of tasks that I where I want to split up the quota. So, if my ChatGPT usage is getting low, and I have some more on Grok Bot, maybe I want to like, you know, delegate that over. So, I can do all kinds of stuff now. Okay, let's talk about the next hack, which is plugins and Compozio and some related stuff. Now, as you probably know, if you use Grok Bot before, you can go here to marketplace, and this

[4:58] will open up the plugins marketplace. And here you'll be able to, you know, browse for the different plugins that are available, and then connect them. And I can, for example, go into an app here, uh Notion, and you'll see it's already connected. So, I've installed this before. And what's cool here is that you can actually add multiple accounts. And this is actually quite, you know, useful for um Gmail, for example, if you want to just have multiple Gmail accounts connected. Now, another thing that I'm doing, I'm actually trying to connect everything through Compozio now. And the reason is because I don't want to keep connecting all of my tools, reconnecting them if I

[5:40] use a new harness. And so, Compozio is this tool where you essentially have a hub where you can connect all of your tools to and then you just have this like one MCP that you can just give to your harness like Rock bot and then you immediately have all of your connections. And this makes portability much easier, right? Because I can have the same connections then on my chat GPT harness, on my cloud code harness, on my Rock bot harness and I don't need to reconnect everything in every harness again. The cool thing about this also is that it has the same feature where I can

[6:15] connect another account. It has some team features also where you can like manage, you know, the security around the access of the tools, which is quite nice. And recently, and this really made me like start to switch over almost everything is that it added this add custom MCP feature here, which lets me add any custom MCP, right? And this really was the missing thing. That means that I can now add any MCP server that's available right here. So, as an example, there's this video recording tool Tella that I use and they have an MCP, but it's not officially in the Composable marketplace. But as you can see here,

[6:55] they do have an MCP URL here and so I can just find that on the internet, copy that and then just go over here to Composable, add a custom MCP and basically add the Tella MCP here. Now, I just checked, unfortunately, Composable does not have a tool that lets you add custom MCPs via the MCP yet. So, you will have to add it manually through the UI for now. This by the way is possible though if you want to add custom MCPs in Rock bot itself. So, you can see these two MCPs here are custom MCPs and I can just add them this way. Find the custom MCP

[7:33] server of Buffer and add it here in Rock bot. So, here you can see it first tried to basically add it and then it says, "I'll need an API key from you." But, then you can just say do the OAuth path, and then it will kind of say, "Oh, yeah, we can also do OAuth." Which is just easier, because otherwise you would have

[7:53] to sign into Buffer and get an API key. But, yeah, now it's added, and now I can just click authorize. It will open up Buffer here, and then I can sign in and have it connected. Okay, the next one is the bot marketplace. So, this is a relatively new feature, and it also lives here in marketplace. And then, if you click here into bots, you'll see they now have this new bot marketplace, which is really awesome. You can essentially just like find other people's bots and just install them on your Grok bot. And so, we can have a look at this one, Lenny Rachitsky's Overheard. And this watches Reddit,

[8:30] Hacker News, news sites, and X for third-party mentions of your name, brand, and URLs, then sends a short weekday digest when something clears the bar. Okay, pretty cool. If you want to install it, you just click import bot. I already installed this one, so let's find another one I haven't installed. Let's try um I think I'll try this Dr. Eggbot, which is decision designs high-quality Grok bots. Okay, let's do that. So, I just click import here, and then it essentially just goes about and sets up this bot for you. Hey, I'm Dr. Eggbot, and then depending on the bot, the steps that you'll have to do to do the setup

[9:09] are different. Sometimes it will ask you for some information, you'll have to provide that, or maybe you have to set up a connection. Sometimes it will create some routines for you as well. So, it can be different depending on the bot. Now, the cool thing is I can also create my own bots and put them out as templates. So, I actually did that with my bridge bot here. After I created the bot, I just went here and clicked this button and and said, um um template. Uh let me show you this on another bot. So, let's say I wanted to turn this one into a template. It just says here share as

[9:41] template. And then it creates this template for me, and I can then publish it. And once it's published, I get a link, and this way I can share it with other people. I don't know exactly when this would also show up in the marketplace. Uh there's probably some kind of review process there. But yeah, if I just want to share it with people, I can just copy the link and share that with people. Okay, the next one here is computer access. So, many people don't know that if you go here to profile and settings, and then go here to computer, you actually can also give Grokbot

[10:12] access to your current local machine. And you know, you think that Grokbot is essentially just like something that's in the cloud, but it also has the capability now to just do actions locally on your machine like a Codex or a Cloud Code could. And you can select here if you want those actions executions on your computers to always allow them or ask every time. I have it on always allow. And now if I go to my Chief of Staff and first ask, do you have access to my local machine here to the file system? Okay, so it says yes, I can use Max file system when local

[10:47] execution is on. Great, then tell me what's in my downloads folder and which of my recent files needs some organizing there. So, it told me downloads is a dump, which makes sense, 87 gigabytes. I never organize that there. And what it can do this part here which I'll just do for demo now. There are some leftovers safe to delete. I don't want to reorganize everything now, but I'll do this

[11:12] um just to show you that it's possible. Okay, do number five and just delete the leftovers. And there we go, it's deleted. And the cool thing about this is, as you can see here, I've switched to my phone screen. So, I can use Grokbot on my phone, and my computer Grokbot has access to my local file system, and then I can have it basically control things from my phone. So, here you can see I said, "Can you take a screenshot of my screen here?" And it essentially took a screenshot of my computer screen, and then I can, you know, give it commands from my phone, and it will execute those

[11:49] on my computer. Now, the other thing that is related to this is this trackpad mode here. So, if I again share my phone screen, you can see here I can go into my Chief of Staff bot, and then I can open up the browser or the computer that it has access to here. Now, the problem here is that it's very difficult to click anything, and so there's actually this trackpad mode that you can click here, and then it's like you can drag basically your mouse and like close a window here, um navigate around your computer, and that just makes the navigation here much much easier. Okay, the next one here is going

[12:28] to be a quick one, so that's just how to keep your bots organized. So, you can see here I have some of the bots that I just use frequently, I have them pinned up here, and the way to do that is to just right click on a bot, and then just to pin it. And then you can see I also have these different sections here, and these are you can create them here. So, if you again right click and you click move to, and then you can create a new section here, and then you can just drag your bot over to these sections. And that just makes sure that you have your

[13:00] bots nice and organized. Okay, another hack here is to create channels for projects. I've actually talked about this pretty extensively in my previous video, so check that out if you want to, but uh here's just like a quick summary of that. Essentially, I have this section here which is for projects, and what I've done is I just, instead of having bots for different projects, I have groups of bots, and so if I click into this one, for example, and you can see here it's essentially these bots that are part of this group. And when you create a group of bots, it's kind of like it behaves like a channel,

[13:39] basically. And inside of this group, I have my chief of staff, and then I have a projects manager whose job it is to just like make sure logistically everything is managed, like the work is delegated in the right way. And then I also have a couple of Notion pages, or Notion databases, I should say. So, this one is for projects, and it's essentially to, you know, to organize my projects. And this one is for tasks, which is all of the tasks within that project within a project. And inside of my task database, I can filter by my projects. So, I could, for example, filter by this video, and then

[14:15] essentially have the tasks showing up only for this project. And so, this is just a good way to have one channel where you can focus on one specific project and have your bots do that work of the project for you. And basically to delegate part of those tasks of that project to different bots. Okay, the next one is that you can give your bots their own email inbox. Now, you might want to do that because you want to give your bots the ability to sign up for their own services, or you just want to give your bots their own email address so that they don't have to use your

[14:51] personal email address to send emails. Or maybe you just want to give each of your agents their own email addresses so they can communicate with each other across harnesses. Now, the easiest way to do that is to just go into your Grap bot and tell it to set up an agent mail email address by itself. And it did kind of try to get me to do something first, like connect agent mail. And then I just asked, like sometimes you need to push it a little bit and just tell it, like, "Hey, are there other ways that you can do this without involving me?" So, I just said, "Can you create one for me so

[15:23] I don't need to do it myself?" It wanted me to go get the API key. And then it was like, "Oh yeah, I can actually do that." It then just went ahead and created an Agent Mail account for me and then also an email address for my agent. And again, since I like to have everything connected in Komposeo, it actually made the connection inside of Komposeo. So, if I go into my Komposeo account, you can now see that the Agent Mail account is connected and it has one connected account here. Now, it could have also done that just directly through the plugin. Agent Mail also exists here, so it could have done it

[15:58] here as well, but in my case it knows my preference to do it through Komposeo. And now I have a Agent Mail account here and in the free plan I can create three inboxes for agents and here's one of them that I just created. And now I can have my agent use that. Now I can say, "Can you use your Agent Mail email address and send my real email address a test email?" And there you go, the test email was just sent from my Agent Mail

[16:26] address to my real address. Okay, the next hack is another quick one. It's the command K command and it's a keyboard shortcut that is really convenient to use. So, when you're in Grok Bot, you can hit command K on a Mac. I'm guessing it's control K on Windows. And then you get this search here and you can search across your entire Grok Bot workspace. So, I can search for my bots. I can search for specific routines like

[16:55] um or skills like my time tracker skill. I can use command and my arrow buttons to kind of switch between these tabs here and go to my routines. And then if I hold the um command button, I can also select a number here to go into the this routine for example. So, So, say I want to go into the morning digest, and then I hit six, and then it will open up this window here where I can just go and check out the morning digest. And I can also go here into actions to see what other actions are actually possible. So, um pretty cool here, and you know, just

[17:33] makes working within Grok Bot a lot faster. Okay, the final one I want to show you here is if you want to save some tokens, you can basically reverse engineer browser use. So, let me show you what that is. Now, as you probably know, every bot has access to a computer, and I can open it up, and then I can do stuff here. And there's also this button here where I can teach it a task. So, this lets me essentially create skills. So, let's activate this, and then I'll just do a very simple task here just for demo purposes. I'll type in school.com prompt warrior, which is

[18:08] my school community, and then I'll just like teach it the task to write a post, and uh no, don't reload the site. Uh select a category, and then, you know, I can do other things, but I could maybe toggle this on or maybe not. Anyways, like just a simple thing, and now I can stop the task. And so, what it does here is it will say recording's finished. Let me learn the task from it. So, it's watching the demo, and then it's turning what I did into a skill so that it can do the same thing again. Okay, so once it's done reviewing everything, it essentially looks at like frame by frame

[18:46] what I did in the browser, and then it created this create school community post from my demo. And this is a skill now, right? The thing is, this skill is pretty inefficient because it's looking at my browser and then doing things. Now, what I can do is I can actually tell it to make it more token efficient. Can you turn this browser use skill into a script to make it run more efficiently. And so, what it does here, it will do this research and try to find out if there's a more efficient way to do what I just did in the browser through some other tools. So, it kind of

[19:30] found here, well, you actually have Appify connected, so maybe we should do it through Appify. Now, in this example, it's might not be the best route if it's such a simple task, but you can imagine that if it's a, you know, much more complex task that I recorded on my browser which touches several tools, then there will be more efficient ways to go about this than to have it click around in the browser. And that's it for this video. If you would like more tutorials about how to master AI and build systems for your business, then check out my Prompt Warrior School community. I am planning a Grockbot

[20:05] masterclass very soon. I'm also working on a ChatGPT work course, and there are a bunch of other courses in here such as an ideas and validation course, Cursor Open Claw course, some AI content courses, and also my full AI OS system, which includes all of my skills that you can just download and copy and paste into your business. And as always, thanks so much for watching. I'll see

[20:29] you in the next video. Bye-bye.
