[0:00] I've tried well over a 100 different Grock bots, and most of them are a complete waste of time. A handful of these do real work, though, and I've been testing these five all week. My goal for this video is simple. By the end, you'll know exactly which five Grockbots you need in your setup, what each one does specifically, and the one safety check you need to run before you import anything. So, get comfortable, grab some coffee, and let's hop straight into the video. Diving straight into it, the first bot that we're going to be

[0:25] covering is a bot called First Mate. This bot is essentially your captain, your main orchestrator, and this is the only bot that you'll talk to. Talk to one bot, and it will run the entire team. Now, what I really like about it, if you go ahead and hop into your Grockbots's computer, every single Grockbot has its own little cloud computer. We can hop into the file manager, go to box, go to agent data, go to First Mate, and then click on the factory database. Inside of this database, First Mate is storing any decisions you make, any projects you have, any tasks you have. It has all the

[0:54] kind of context it needs to orchestrate your team properly for your needs. And it's also very smart on where it sends specific tasks. If you have any specific coding tasks, it actually routes these through cursor agents in the cloud. And everything else non-coding related stays inside of Grockbot. This allows you to not blow through your usage quota, which is one of the biggest problems with Grockbot right now. You can also have your Grockbot delegate to the Grock build CLI that's on your computer and have it use the usage quota from that as well. So, let's go ahead and prompt this thing so you guys can see everything get

[1:22] delegated. I need you to draft a description for today's video, summarize my unread emails, and flag what needs a reply today, and build a basic landing page for my $97 AIOS setup session offer. One more thing I'm also going to add to this prompt. I don't want it spinning up cursor agents in the cloud. I want it to use my Grock build CLI. So, that's what I'm going to go ahead and do. Can you please for the landing page use the Grock build CLI on this local computer? And now, I'm going to go ahead and send this off. and you're going to see it immediately start working and

[1:51] start delegating to whoever it needs to delegate to. Now, what's really cool about FirstMate, it'll look to route to specific bots, but if a bot for that task doesn't exist, it will also recommend a bot for you to do that task next time, so it doesn't have to do it itself. And as you can see, it's going to work. It's getting all the relevant information first. So, we have the five Grockbots post, which is completely accurate. It's pulling the outline plus unread mail now, and then kicking the landing rebuild with Grock Build. Now, I can't show you the emails that I wrote drafts for because there's some

[2:18] sensitive information in there, but this is the YouTube description that it built out. All the information is accurate here. One thing that I immediately noticed is not accurate is the link to my school community. So, I would have to prompt my Grockpot to actually get that fixed. And if I scroll down to the bottom here, it's blurred out, but you

[2:32] can see the unread mail triage is there. And right now, it's running commands on Grock Build on my local computer. Once that landing page is done, we'll spin it up real quick just so you guys can see the result. Now that we finished all three tasks, the final task, the $97 landing page was rebuilt with the Grock build CLI on your PC. It's the hero, $97, a four question intake, which is really cool. A Calendarly CTA. So, let's go ahead and check this out. And actually, it's not the worst thing,

[2:56] right? It followed my brand guidelines. There's obviously some UI changes, and Grock Build isn't the best with front-end design yet, but scrolling through here, it fits my brand properly. I'm actually not disappointed with it at all. It's got a little questionnaire here that you can go through, click on these, and then book your session. I like that a lot. This is what it is, what it isn't. And I'm honestly a fan of this. I like kind of the simple feel. I like that it takes you through questions. And I'm quite satisfied with this. Now, the secret trick with First Mate is obviously you saw this and I

[3:23] didn't have any specific bots set up for these tasks. I did this for a reason because now what I'm going to do is say, "Hey mate, can you suggest some teammates that we can add to the team that would help you delegate tasks to next time, just so that you don't have to do all of the work yourself?" I just want to talk to you and I want you to report back to me. We'll go ahead and send that off. And now we're going to get a list of teammates from first mate saying checking the live roster against the work I've been keeping myself. Then I'll suggest who to sign on next. And

[3:48] then from there it's going to give me a list. So we can see here postmaster which takes care of my inbox copy desk for YouTube package copy pages offer and landing pages and then research. So last 30 days deep research briefs that feed the video. And we can see that now from here we can go ahead and create these bots so that the next time I have certain requests like this, it'll have teammates to delegate to. And there's a concept underneath this that I want you guys to be aware of. Whenever you're installing new bots and new templates,

[4:12] Grockbot templates are the new skills. You share bot as a link. Anyone can install a copy. Just like Claude skills, just like agent skills, you can get them from GitHub and you can pull them into your Grockbot. But I will say one thing that installing Grockbot templates is so easy. It's crazy. You just click one link, you open it up in your Grockbot, you see if that's exactly what you need, and then you install it. From there, you just onboard it with your context, and then it knows kind of just what to do. I also want to throw out some simple vocabulary just so that we're all on the

[4:40] same page because these terms get thrown around everywhere, and it's a little bit confusing. A skill is a reusable set of instructions for a task. A plug-in is a pre-built connection to an outside tool, so an API or an MCP. A routine is a schedule or a trigger. And a template is a whole bot packaged as a sharable link. And the differentiation in this video is that every single Grockbot you see in this video is a Grockbot template. One link anyone can install a copy and you easily onboard it onto your team. But you can also build private skills, private plugins, and private bots that only exist on your computer. And just be

[5:12] careful if you are creating public templates because there are a few things that get shared and a few things that do not get shared. So when you share one of your Grockbot templates, that public link carries its identity and instructions, its skills and routines, its selected memories and first-party plugins. What it does not share and stays private is your login, your chat histories and files, your custom code and MCPs, and then obviously your computer. But I do want you guys to be very aware that a public link is not access control. If you don't scrub your API keys, if you don't scrub anything,

[5:40] it will actually go out with that link. So make sure you scrub any keys, anything before you go sharing any rock bots. And okay, so we had First Mate who is our orchestrator, but how does he create bots to actually orchestrate to? And that's where number two comes in. Dr. Eggbot. This is the bot that builds bots. Now, I'm a big fan of First Mate, but Dr. Eggbot might be my favorite bot in my entire setup. It designs high quality Grock bots, asks a few preference questions, then creates them with create agent. Now, let's hop back into First Mate. And what I'm going to have it do from the list that we created

[6:10] previously is I'm going to tag Dr. Eggbot in the prompt. So, you would just type in at and then tag the bot you want. I'm gonna say, "Have Dr. Eggbot build out the postmasterbot. Verify all my contacts. If you don't have specific information you need, ask me questions." Now, I don't need to have it ask me questions because Dr. Eggbot naturally does that, but I'm always going to double down on that fact. Before building, have Dr. Eggbot give us the plan. And let's go ahead and send this off. And now, you're going to see this agent, First Mate, delegate and send a message to Dr. Eggbot to get this bot

[6:38] created. And any bot that we create, we are going to be going specifically through First Mate for all of it. And that kind of shocked me on how fast that was. But here's what they already have locked. You talk only to me. Postmaster reports to me. The job that we're handling is unread triage flag needs reply today. Draft replies into Gmail drafts, not send, which is great. We have the client voice. We have the subject suffix, which is accurate. We have hard nose plus no mashes in public/client copy. Vault, church, and state. So people financials get flagged, not freelanced. And then need a few

[7:06] calls from you before Dr. Eggbot plans. So let's go ahead and look at these questions. And just so you guys can actually see that it's getting delegated to because it didn't show it in first mate. Right here, if I go down, it's 10:52 a.m. Two messages were sent from first mate to Dr. Eggbot. And that's how you know they're just communicating, right? So, we'll go back here. We'll say deeprooted IO inbox only. We could also do drafts only, send on my explicit word, daily morning triage, and that'll be it. So, we'll go ahead and submit that. And now it's going to take those answers. And now Dr. Eggbot is going to

[7:36] start building out our Postmate bot. There we go. Now I can actually show you guys message at Dr. Eggbot and then it replied Dr. Eggbot's drafting the postmaster plan now. I'll bring it here for you to sign off before anything gets built. And if you look on the left hand side here, you can see Dr. Eggbot is actually moving and taking action from

[7:52] the orders of first mate. Here is Dr. Eggbot's postmaster plan. We have the job, what to never do, tools, the morning pulse routine, handoff, and then my calls on the open questions. And then all we need to do is sign off on Postmaster. I'm just going to go ahead and say approve and build. So, all my defaults, it's going to go ahead and build this out. Once it's built out, I'll show you guys it in the lefth hand side. And then we will actually go through everything that it did. And just like that, Postmaster is already spun up. We can go ahead and edit the profile

[8:20] of this. And now we can see the description was added. You are Postmaster for Deeprooted AI. This is your job. This is everything you need to do. I'm going to go ahead and throw an email label on that onto Postmaster. And there we go. Online starting mail room setup. Gmail for this email. Remember, I already have these plugins set up. If you guys want to figure out how to set up any plugins, I made a Grockbot introduction video that you guys can click on right here. Now, it's just getting everything ready. It's doing the 8 a.m. unread pulse. And then it's going to give us all of that information. And

[8:46] that bot is completely working. All I did was prompt FirstMate, who prompted Dr. Eggbot. And we went some back and forth with some questions. And now we have a fully functioning bot that First Mate can delegate to for any email related tasks. And again, I can't show you guys the actual result, but it did its first soft triage. All of the information is accurate. It wrote up a draft for me. And then at the bottom here, you guys can see that Captain Mail

[9:09] Pulse is live weekdays 8 am central. Gmail ready at my email. And we are good to go. This bot is fully created. And it literally took like 3 minutes. One of my personal favorite things is just watching it and delegate and watching it message like Postmaster, watching it message Dr. Eggbot. You can make group chats. This just really feels like an AI agent that you can use long term. One small concept that I want to throw along with Dr. or eggbot is the idea behind anti-job. So the bot will always do one job. Everything else is an anti-job. So an anti-job is something that it will

[9:39] not do is and that's just important as what it would do. So this bot specifically that we just built won't send replies. It won't archive anything without asking and it definitely won't write essay long emails. So just understand that a good bot design is one specific job and a list of anti- jobs. Now moving on to bot number three. And this bot handles Grockbot's biggest problem, which is usage limits,

[10:00] especially when you're on the $30 plan. So, this bot watches your quota and throttles the rest. And usage bot is a really cool kind of accountability concept and just making sure that you're not wasting your tokens and you're not wasting your usage limit. So, right here you can see that you trackpot's remaining usage for this account and brief teammates so they can throttle work. One job only, surface usage so

[10:20] agents do not burn the allotment blind. And then you can also see, like we talked about earlier, the anti- jobs. Never invent usage numbers. Never spend, buy, or change the plan. Never do other bots work. One thing about this bot specifically is that you're actually going to have to sign into your cursor account and have it sign in on its computer. Right? So, all I had to do was hop into the computer, sign into the cursor account, give it authentication, send it over a screenshot of our spending just for the first time so it understands exactly where we are. And this bot comes with two routines. The

[10:49] first one is the active window usage cadence. So what this does is an activity window usage tick. It follows usage status and throttle skills reuse one spending tab and refresh. So it goes into its computer, refreshes, checks where it's at. It's actually really cool. And then the other routine is its weekday usage refresh. So course weekday usage refresh for this account's rockbot pool. As soon as the weekly limit refreshes, it'll let us know and it's very, very cool. Now when it comes to First Mate, how is it getting this information? Every single five minutes while I'm active on Grockbot, we're going to get pinged about our usage. So,

[11:21] right now, if you guys can see, I'm on 84% of my weekly limit. I'm on the Super Grock $30 plan. And from there, in about five minutes, I'm sure I'm going to get a message about this. I don't really feel like waiting 5 minutes. So, I'm just going to tell it to run the cadence so you guys can see what that result actually looks like. And if I hop into the usage bot, you can see that it's actually looking at its computer. It opened it up. It's checking that it opened up a new tab and looking at the usage limit. And then it sent that message right here. It says 85%. And if

[11:48] we go back here, it says, "Captain usage pulse is 85% used. Resets on September 15. The on demand is off. It jumped 8% since the last checked. We have about 15% of headroom." So that's how it would actually work. It spins up its computer. It checks the Grockbot usage and sends it to you while you're doing tasks. And this will ping almost anytime you're

[12:07] doing specific tasks inside a Grockbot. The best part is that this is usagebot out of the box, right? Straight from the template that I copied. And this is just how I've been using it. Now, you guys can change everything to any bot that you want once it's inside of your system. So, if there's something that you guys wanted to specifically do with usage bot, whether that's send you an email, whether that's whatever the case may be, you can do that. But the concept here is simple. Usage for Grockbot right now, at least on the $30 plan, is the bottleneck for this. Don't run 20 bots on one vague prompt. Make sure you're

[12:35] routing deliberately. And that's why First Mate is so important. Always start off with First Mate. Have conversations with First Mate. It will do a very good job at delegating and creating bots on your behalf for whatever task you need. Just please don't spawn 20 agents because it's fun. That brings us to bot number four, and this is kind of similar to Dr. Eggbot, but this is Tinkerbot,

[12:54] the bot that turns APIs into a plugin. Now, Grockbot doesn't have a native YouTube plugin. The only other way that you can get statistics from YouTube is by using Composeio and the YouTube API from there. But what we're going to go ahead and do is wrap the YouTube data API version 3 into a plugin. for me.

[13:09] We're going to use Tinkabbot to do this. Scope it small and then build the smallest MCP and skill scaffold that works. So, let's just go ahead and send this off and I'm going to walk you guys through the entire routine of how to do this with Tinkerbot and First Mate. I just love how fast Grockbot is and how kind of fluid it feels. You can already see right here that it's handing it off to Tinkerbot. It's letting us know that our usage is 85%. So, this stays serial in terms of how small and local we want this MCP and scale to be. Tinkerbot is on it. You guys can see on the lefth

[13:36] hand side that Tinkabot's going to work. I'm sure it's going to ask me about my API key that's already in my AI operating system which this Grockbot is connected to. So, it should already get that. Build that out for us very quickly and then we'll be able to pull our YouTube statistics directly from Grockbot. So, this was an interesting little hiccup and I'm glad it kind of happened. I was waiting for a little bit for Tinkabbot to reply and I saw that it was done but it wasn't getting pinged back into FirstMate. What I could have done is just ask first mate what the holdup is, but instead I went into

[14:03] Tinkabbot. It was waiting for me to give it the YouTube data API key and now the key is on. And right now it seems to be having some trouble with the YouTube API key. Maybe I didn't give it a solid one. So I might have to refresh that. Nope. It looked like it figured it out itself. And we got a message back in FirstMate saying Tinkabbot scaffold is ready and not published. The tools that we have inside of this MCP or this plugin is to

[14:23] get channel stats, get latest uploads. This is the default channel and the skill will be called YouTube channel. Here are the paths that it's connected to. It ran a smoke test. And then here is the smoke test results. was 7,80 subs, around three almost 400,000 views. Thank you guys so much. 100 videos and then your review step on desktop put the API key in the ENV cursor inherits not MCP reload confirm MCP. So I would have to just go ahead and do that. I'm not going to do that right now, but you guys can see the plug-in works, the smoke test works, and that's essentially how

[14:53] Tinkerbot works. But at the end of the day, if Grockbot doesn't have a specific API or a specific plugin that you need, you would use Tinkerbot, do a grill me session, walk through everything that you actually need from this plugin, and it will help it develop it for you. So, there really is no limits when it comes to Grockbot and plugins. But just because it's not a native plugin doesn't mean that you can't add it. And that's exactly what Tinkabbot solves. All right, for our last bot today, I would argue that this besides First Mate, is the most important one. And this is called Box Inspector. and all it does is

[15:23] inspects a bot before you add it into your Grockbot system. To help you understand why this matters, you need to actually understand how Grockbots actually work. Every single bot on your account shares one computer. A second bot is not a sandbox and it does not have its own computer. And a shared template is essentially a third-party

[15:41] software that's running on your machine. You did not write this template, so you don't know what's on it. So, this is Box Inspector. Box Inspector is the gate for Grockbot templates, a share link that lands in your chat or in a room. you are and gets a verdict before the user decides to add it. And all we need to do, this is probably the easiest prompt of them all. Get a link from a Grockbot template and then we say, "Hand this to

[16:01] bot inspector inside of First Mate." Now, I'm going to hand it off. Box Inspector is going to do its entire kind of validation and then tell us if we need to add it. And just for simple context purposes, the link of the bot that I gave was this human copywriter that rewrites AI drafts so they stop sounding like AI. This is the link that I used right here. And just like that, we get a response back from the box inspector. It did not add it because it's not going to add on your behalf, but this is who it's by. The storefront claim is that it's brief, copyable, alt

[16:28] text for accessibility. This is what's hidden. So, persona, skills, routines, memories, plugins, none shown on the page. Here are some of the risks. It's third party and the recommended is skip unless you really need alt text and will watch first runs. So, right now, I'm not going to go ahead and add it. But right here, you guys can see first mate messaged it. It's back here. It's asking me if it wants me to leave it or proceed with ad knowing the caveats. And this is just protecting me, right? This is essentially the first pass. If you're curious about a link or a Grockbot template, you would hand it over and

[16:57] then based on this, you can go back and forth in a QA and see if it really fits you. The initial response to me was to not add it. And quite honestly, I'm not interested in adding it. So, I would just not do it. So, here's the rule that I want you guys to follow. And I mean every single time. One computer, untrusted software, always inspect before you add. If you take anything away from this video, it should be that rule. The two bots from this video that I would add without a shadow of a doubt is First Mate and the Box Inspector. And yes, there probably are other variations

[17:25] of box inspector. So, just do your due diligence. And that closes the entire loop from earlier. Every single bot that you've seen in today's video is a [snorts] public bot where you copy a template online. So, just make sure that you inspect it first. And at this point, if you haven't started a Grockbot yet, if you're a little hesitant, this is kind of the best five bots that will help you set up your entire Grockbot infrastructure from here on out. You have First Mate, which is the only agent that you'll talk to. It'll orchestrate and help you develop ideas for other bots. You have Dr. Eggbot, which will be

[17:54] the one that's actually creating all those bots. You have your usage bot, which is tracking your usage limits and making sure that you're getting the most out of your weekly usage. Then you have Tinkabbot. Sinkbot helps you build all your API plugins, the ones that don't already exist inside of the Grockbot infrastructure. And then you have Box Inspector. Box Inspector is there purely to protect you from any malware, from any kind of sketchy templates, and just make sure that you're always protecting yourself. I'm going to be exploring a ton of more Grockbots to see which ones that I can share with you guys and which ones that are actually worth it. So stay

[18:24] tuned for that. I know I threw a ton at you guys today. So if you got lost at any point, don't worry at all. I got you guys. I'm going to be dropping a full free resource guide inside of my free school community, AI made simple. This resource guide will walk through all the bots that we talked about today, including the links for them and how to properly set them all up.

[19:12] end of the video. First of all, thank you so much. Something I like to do in the end of all my videos, is pray for you guys, my audience. I do this because I genuinely love you guys. I appreciate all the time and attention you give to my videos. I still can't believe you watch this guy and learn from me. Um, I also want to see you guys live fulfilled lives and just be good people, spread love, and just be positive in in today's crazy world. Um, but most importantly, I know that there's a lot of people out there who just need to hear a prayer,

[19:37] who are struggling, whether that's with anxiety, depression, financial stuff, um, whatever it may be. I know there just there's people out there struggling. And I want those people to know that there's people out there thinking about them, there's people out there praying for them, and uh, you can always see it through. Uh, but if you're uncomfortable at any point of this,

[19:53] please feel free to click off the video. I'm definitely not here to force anything upon you, but just know that if you do leave, Jesus loves you. I'm going to go ahead and pray for you guys. Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this day. Thank you so much for the breath of life that you've bestowed upon us this morning. Lord, I just want to take this time to thank you for

[20:09] everything that you've done in my life. Thank you for everything you've done in my viewers lives. And Lord, most importantly, I just want to pray uh for my audience. I want to pray for their health. I want to pray for strength. I want to pray for wisdom. Lord, I just ask that you meet them wherever they're struggling and just help them. Lord, I hope that they give their life to you. I hope that they just pronounce you as as Lord and Savior and just you just take over their lives and just continue to do

[20:34] what you always do. Show them grace. Show them love. Continue to be there for them in in their hard times. Lord, I just want to again pray for the people that are struggling. Just meet them where they are. Lord, help them. You know, whatever that they need to survive the next day, whatever they need to hear. Lord, I just pray that you bring someone into their life to let them hear that. Whether that's watching this video, whether that's a family member, whether that's just someone random on the street. Lord, please, those people who are struggling, just have someone talk to them who actually needs to tell

[21:03] them something and tell them something that it's going to be okay and just something that they need to hear. Lord, I just want to thank you for your grace. I want to thank you for your love. And I want to thank you for your son, Jesus, and his sacrifice on the cross. Without that sacrifice, we could not have a relationship with you. It's a relationship that we do not deserve. and

[21:18] now one day we can meet you in heaven. But just once again, Lord, continue to meet those people where they're at. Continue to just show them love, show them grace, and just show them how awesome a relationship with you can be. I pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Now, go have a

[21:34] blessed day, guys.
