This is the full transcript of 10 ways grok bot can make you money (my exact setup), published on YouTube by Corey Ganim. Every paragraph carries the moment it was spoken, so you can click any line to jump straight to that point in the video, search the whole thing for a word, or copy it out.

0:00Grok Bot is the best personal AI agent on the market by far and it's not even close. I think it's better than Muse. I think it's better than Instinct. I think it's better than Chat GPT. And today we're going to look at my top 10 use cases. So these are the exact bots that I've created to run individual parts of my business. I'm going to show you the apps that I've connected, the skills that I've built, the [snorts] actual bots that I use. So we're going to jump into Grok Bot as well, starting with my setup and my chief of staff. So at the end of the day, I have um five

0:30individual bots that I use and one chief of staff bot that kind of manages those five. So I actually delegate to my chief of staff bot. And the chief of staff is what delegates to all my other bots. So if we jump into my Grok Bot here, you can see that I've actually got my chief of staff pinned here at the top. I've also have my speed to lead bot pinned as well and then all the other bots under it, the chief of staff delegates to. So like I just literally talk to my chief of staff and then it goes and gives feedback to all my other bots. Now we're

1:01going to get into all the other ones here in more detail, but from a high level we've got chief of staff, we've got newsjack bot, which is my bot whose whole job is to just pitch me to the media and get me features in like publications and websites and stuff like that. We've got connector bot whose job is to kind of manage my network and make introductions between people in my network that would be a good fit for each other where there's a value-added potential relationship. Basically to

1:27connect dots that I don't see myself. Speed to lead dot, which in my opinion is probably the most important bot you could have by far aside from your chief of staff. This is the bot that replies to new leads quickly and makes us more money and I'm going to explain how exactly it does that. Then I've got a bot that's researching X constantly and I've got a bot that's looking at my

1:46content and putting together analytics. Now for my setup specifically, these are the 11 apps that I have connected. Obviously the tools that you use are going to determine what you actually connect to your bots, but these are probably going to be pretty common across most people. You know, the Google Suite, Notion, I use Todoist as a to-do list app, GitHub, Gmail, etc. Um I've got about 10 custom skills across my bots that they use to do very specific things on a repetitive basis. That might not seem like a lot of skills, but what I find is that I really only create skills for things that I'm asking them

2:22to do like on a very regular basis. So, things like, you know, "Hey, every Sunday make me a plan and I want you to make the plan the same way every time." which is why we turned it into a skill. If I want you to sync my content analytics, I want those to come out the same way every time, so we turn that into a skill. The way that we draft follow-ups is a skill. We've got other skills, too, and we're going to dive into some of those. Now, looking at like my full week on autopilot. Now, obviously, this is not everything that I would do in a given week, but before

2:52Grok Bot, these are tasks that either I was having to go into Claude or go into ChatGPT and manually like kick off myself, or it's stuff that I would have been doing myself without AI, right? Especially before Claude and before ChatGPT. So, I've got 14 total routines across the six bots that are firing on a weekly basis. And just remember, a

3:13routine is just like a scheduled task. So, it's just the bot going and doing a specific workflow on a schedule. And I'm not going to go through every single one of these in detail, but from a high level, some of my favorite ones are the speed-to-lead tasks in particular. So, like I've got one of these that runs weekdays at 7:00 a.m., one that runs weekdays at 8:00 a.m., one of them that runs every single hour, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. And all three of those are speed-to-lead routines. So, one of those is it creates a call brief anytime I have a like a sales call. So, if I'm going to

3:45get on a sales call 3 hours from now, it's going to go ahead and prepare me a brief as is Google Doc, and it's going to send it to me before the call so that all I have to do is just read the Doc. So, I know exactly what I'm showing up to on the call. Like I know exactly what to expect. Another thing that the Speed to Lead Bot is doing is it's going to send quiet lead nudges. Meaning, if we had like a sales conversation going with a prospect, if that lead goes quiet for two or three days, it's going to draft a follow-up when that person goes quiet so

4:13that we can keep that sales conversation alive. Now, again, I'm going to go into these routines in more detail below when we go into the actual use cases. Um but, another one that's really important is my uh Chief of Staff runs a routine every Friday at 6:15 p.m. that we call a second brain audit. And what that does is the Chief of Staff has access to my

4:35second brain which lives in GitHub. Every Friday, Chief of Staff looks at every workflow that I did across all my bots and compares the work that I did that week with what is in the second brain. And then the Chief of Staff will recommend edits to the second brain based on the work that we did. So, if we added, let's just say a new sales channel or let's say we updated a marketing campaign or whatever we did throughout the week, Chief of Staff is going to recommend that we either add that to the second brain so that all of our AI agents, not just our Grok bots,

5:06have that context. Or it might say like, "Hey, you did something this week that actually contradicts with what we have in your second brain. Let's either update your second brain to fix that contradiction or just let me know if this was like a one-off thing that we don't need to account for." So, that one

5:21skill is incredibly important. So, as we get into the actual 10 use cases, there's going to be three of them that run the business. There's going to be three that grow revenue. There's three that make content. And there's one that's more of a bonus. So, we're going to get into each of those in detail. And at the end of the day, every single use case is built from the same four

5:41building blocks. One is the bot itself. So, we're going to talk about which actual bot does the job. Two is the routine. so what's the scheduled task that it's running? Three, the skill, aka the playbook or the SOP, and then four, the app or the connector. What it What tools is it actually using? So, again, the first is the Chief of Staff, which as I showed you earlier, is my uh this is like the pinned bot that I have at the top of my Grok bot. So, everything that I'm doing is going

6:07through my Chief of Staff first. Honestly, I'm rarely going in and talking to my individual bots. Almost always I'm messaging messaging my Chief of Staff bot first. And then Chief of the the Your bots can communicate with each other. So, my Chief of Staff bot can actually go and message the Newsjack bot, and they can have a conversation, and I can watch that conversation. I can look at what they're talking about. So, that's the first bot, and again, it's going to run that Sunday weekly plan, like I mentioned earlier, and the second

6:37brain audit on Fridays. And it's going to catch things like, "Hey, I've got a flight at 1:00 p.m., and I've got a call that ends at 12:00. Is that going to be enough time for me to get to the airport?" You know, it's going to catch things like that, and it's going to recommend we reschedule

6:50the call, for example. So, like I said, it's pinned to the top, it's the front door to every one of my other bots. Now, the second use case is the actual weekly plan routine that the Chief of Staff bot runs. So, every Sunday at 8:00 a.m., it's going to plan my week inside of Todoist, which is the to-do list app that I use. So, I like to theme my days. So, for example, I like to have a writing day, a video day, a content day, an admin day, a sales day, etc. So, I like to to theme my days. And so, every Sunday at 8:00 a.m., Chief of

7:22Staff bot is going to go and look at everything that I have to do that week, and it's going to determine which things need to be done on which days. So, that way I'm not just doing, you know, content and video and sales and admin work all on the same day. Instead, I'm able to batch all my content work on one day. And then I can batch all my admin work on a Friday, for example. So, it takes the whole thought process out of me having to think about what to do when, and it just goes in and proactively does that. And it connects In order to do this, it just connects to

7:53Todoist and Google Calendar. And then it runs that Sunday week plan skill, which we set as a routine, like we said, that runs on Sundays at 8:00 a.m. Now, the third use case, and I already mentioned this briefly, but this is the second brain audit. Right? So, again, going back into GrokBot itself, so if we look at our Chief of Staff bot for our routines, it's also a routine. So, every Friday at 6:15 p.m., it's going to run that weekly second brain audit. And like I said earlier, that is what our Chief of Staff bot is going to do to determine what did we work on that week that needs

8:27to be added to the second brain. And the reason that's important is because obviously I'm working inside of other tools. I'm working inside of Plod. I'm working inside of Codex. I'm working inside of these other agents. And so, if if the Chief of Staff bot doesn't update the second brain, Plod and Codex are going to They're not going to have any context as to what I did that week inside of GrokBot. So, that's just our way of keeping all of our agents in sync

8:52and on track. Now, the fourth use case is one that I actually added very recently, but this is our Newsjack bot. So, I'm planning to do a dedicated video on this, but Newsjack is a completely free GitHub repo. You can actually go to newsjack.sh. Uh this is the website. It's It's literally just a GitHub repo that you can open it up here. It's completely free. It's open source. And what it does is it turns your agent into a full PR

9:20team. Right? So, it gives your agent all these skills right here. And these skills are designed to allow your agent to go research news stories and research journalists in your niche that are looking for experts to comment on specific news stories and get you featured in the news. So, this particular bot runs a morning scan where it looks for news stories that fit my angles that I that I can create an angle

9:46on. It'll look for journalist requests. So, people don't realize that journalists actually go on websites like quoted.com and they put out requests looking for people to contribute their expertise to articles that they're writing. So, newsjack bot will go and look for hey, are there any requests out there that fit our expertise that we can comment on to get a feature in like a Newsweek or a CNN or whatever, right? Or obviously even like lower tier. That would be great, but like we we even find, you know, appearing in some of

10:16these lower tier publications as well. Then every Friday, it puts together a scorecard on its efforts. And then the first Monday of every week, it or I guess just Monday of every week, it'll just kind of put together a PR calendar. So, the second day that I had this newsjack bot in place, it created two pitch packs, basically two pitches ready to go to journalists that fit us perfectly. It was in my voice. It was perfectly on brand. And it went through 243 media requests to find the two that were a good fit for us. So, I really like newsjack bot and I'm going to I'm

10:49probably going to do a dedicated video on that. Now, the fifth use case is our connector bot. So, connector bot is one that lives right here. So, it runs two different routines. And what connector bot does is it's designed to read through my personal CRM. So, I have a personal CRM in notion of people that like I like and that I'm connected with and that I think are good business people. It also looks through my email, my calendar, my meeting notes, and any of my DMs. And then it just tells me who's due for a check-in. So, it's like, "Hey Corey, you

11:21haven't talked to Michael in 3 months. And you know, last time you talked to Michael, he was working on XYZ. So, you should [music] send him a text and tell him about, you know, and check in on that project and see how he's doing. So, that's just my way of like systematically staying on top of my network and also being able to connect people together who you know, I maybe know two parties and this guy needs one thing and this guy needs another and they would

11:47really benefit from knowing each other. So, connector bot is also designed to go look for those connections in my network so that I can be a connector. I can connect people together which makes me look really good and is a really good skill set to have. So, every uh weekday it's going to run like a network digest or sorry, every week on Friday at 8:00

12:05a.m. it's going to run a network digest. It's going to look at who needs to be followed up with. It's going to draft replies and it's going to tell me who to talk to. It's also going to look for, you know, any intros where both sides win. Now, the sixth and like I said earlier, this is probably my favorite one. This is a speed to lead bot. So, it's going to sweep my inbox for opportunities for us to make money. So, like let's say we had a sales conversation that, you know, we're waiting for the prospect to respond. They haven't responded in three or four days. So, the speed to lead bot

12:36is going to notice that. It's going to draft a response and it's going to save it as a draft in my email and then it's going to ping me and say, "Hey, you got to reach back out to Mark. He was interested in buying. He's gone quiet on us. You know, hit him up, right?" So, it just does all the sales activities that

12:51slip through the cracks otherwise. It runs some of those routines and skills that we mentioned earlier. So, not going to beat a dead horse there, but it's also able to all these bots are also able to use their own computer and log into other tools as needed. Now, X research bot, this is the seventh use

13:07case, pretty straightforward, right? But, I write a lot of content on X and so this bot is constantly looking for what is doing well in my niche. What are people talking about in AI on X that's performing well? Um you know, what are what are some topics that are trending that we could chime in with? What are some tweets that we could quote tweet and add our two cents. So, every Monday and Thursday it's pulling in these trending tweets into a Notion board that we just call X Briefs. And it's also looking for my outlier posts. So, it's constantly looking for all my tweets and looking at which of my tweets performed

13:41better than others that we can repurpose and take a new angle on to, you know, get have another tweet that performs really well. And because X is, you know, a Grokbot is a product of SpaceX and X is also owned by SpaceX, it has that native research capability. So, it actually doesn't even cost any

13:59money to research these these tweets. It's like built into Grokbot now. Eighth use case is analytics bot. So, this is specific to my content and my content analytics. If you don't make content, this still applies to you. You can basically point your Grokbot at anything that you need analytics on and it can put that into Notion. It can put it into a Google Sheet. It can put it into, you know, a Google Doc. Kind of wherever you want to point it at. So, what this analytics bot does specifically is it looks at all of my content. So, it'll look at my X, my LinkedIn, my email, my newsletter, my

14:35email marketing, our community, and it'll pull out any analytics that we ask it to pull out and just put it into a Notion database so that we can see at a glance how all of our marketing is performing at any point in time. So, it's again, it's going to pull from X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Kit, which is

14:53the email hosting platform that we use. And it's just going to basically tell us how our marketing's performing and give us those analytics. Nine. This is the Facebook Marketplace bot. So, this one's kind of off-brand in the sense that like not everybody's selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace, but I'm sure a lot of people watching this like me have just a ton of random stuff sitting in your garage that you just need to sell. And so, what I usually do is I'll just list that on Facebook Marketplace, but my problem is is I don't look at Facebook that often or Messenger, so a lot of times I had

15:24people who are interested in buying my stuff, but I don't see their message until like a week later. And at that point, they're no longer interested in buying. So, this bot just basically manages my Facebook Marketplace, it manages my Messenger, and it responds to people who are interested in buying stuff from me, and it arranges a meet-up, or it makes the sale, and then prepares the shipping for me, so that I can just get stuff out of my garage and

15:45turn it into some money. Now, the last one that I use is an X article finder. So, whenever I go to write an article for the title and the thumbnail, I usually like to take inspiration from other articles that have performed well. And so, this particular skill, this is actually a skill, not a bot, but this is a skill that my chief of staff, or really any of my bots can run, is I might say like, "Hey, I want to write an article on Grok Bot. So, go find five recent articles that people have written about Grok Bot that have performed well, and pull out the title and the thumbnail

16:18so that I can look at those and use those as inspiration for my title and my thumbnail that I'm going to use for my article." Now, those are the 10 that I use. I've got a couple of bonus pieces of information, so we're not done just yet. But, if you like any of those in particular, comment the actual number of the one that you like, and I'd love to do a deep dive breakdown of any of these. If people are like, "Hey, we want to see more about the Speed to Lead, or more about the News Jack Bot, or whatever." I'm happy to do a deeper dive

16:44video. Now, going into a couple of rules that make this safe, cuz there's a lot of hesitation around some of these personal agents, and like, what do we give them access to, what do we not give them access to? Six rules. So, one, I always have mine draft first. None of them are auto sending anything. And I think that's just like best practice. You don't want your bots to be auto sending unless you're super comfortable with the technology, or you're only letting them send like very specific types of

17:08replies. Each bot has one lane. So, what I like about Grok Bot is it allows you to have very specialized bots, and what I like to call disposable bots. So, let's just say I want to you know, let's just say I've got a specific task that I need to do. It's not something that comes up very often. But, what I could do is I could spin up a dedicated bot that just focuses on that one task and then when that task is complete, I could literally just delete the bot. So, Grok bot gives you kind of that specialization that a lot of other

17:38bot platforms don't let you have. Um bot will ask you multiple choice questions sometimes to get additional context, sometimes to determine what action you want it to take, and you can just approve in one simple tap. That's not unique to Grok bot, but I do like that that feature's built in. Now, a lot of workflows, you don't have to delete them if you're no longer using

17:58them, you can just pause them, right? So, let's just say we built a skill a couple of weeks ago, we're not really using it. Instead of deleting it and starting over from scratch if we ever need to use it again, we can just pause it. We can always tune the cadence to any of our skills or any of our routines. So, if like for example with my second brain audit skill that I mentioned my chief of staff agent does, originally it was running that that skill and that routine once a day, but what I realized is I actually only needed to do that once a week. So, all I did was message my chief

18:27of staff bot and just say, "Hey, instead of running this daily, run this every Friday." And it was that simple and it just updated the routine accordingly. Now, what I like to have uh as well is I like to have my bots audit my other bots. So, again, the chief of staff bot is going to read my other bots' chats, it's going to look at their routines, and it's basically going to tell me if all of our other bots are optimized. So, it sounds kind of meta, but you can have your bots

18:54managing and auditing your other bots. And again, I think this is kind of unique to Grok bot in the sense that each bot is siloed in a way, but it also has context on what the other ones are doing. Now, again, the old way is that like you're chasing all these leads or requests or check-ins, doing all this stuff yourself. The new way is bots can do the sweeps, the research, and the first drafts. All you have to do is hit review and send. So, if you want to know where to start, five very simple steps or six very simple steps, right? Pick one pain point, one task that you dread

19:27or one thing that you keep putting off, that you keep forgetting to do. Build one specialized bot whose only job is that one thing and give it one clear name. Connect only the tools that it needs. So, that might be your inbox, your calendar, your CRM. Give it just enough access to do exactly what it needs. Add one routine, so that's one scheduled task that turns the bot into an employee that keeps working on a schedule without you having to give it additional instructions. Keep it draft only, so don't let it auto send,

19:57especially anything client-facing. Should come to you as a draft for your approval. And then after you've run a routine or after you've run a skill a few times, keep tuning it and keep iterating it until the output you until you feel like the output is 100% on point, at which point you will have gotten a significant task off your plate, and then you can rinse and repeat across all your other tasks. Now, I hope you enjoyed this video. If you like Grokbot as much as I do, I'm pretty much obsessed at this point, let me know in the comments, subscribe for more videos

20:26like this, and I'll be back soon. Thanks.
