A Week of Grok Bot Lessons in 10 Mins

summarized

TLDR

Grockbot's chief of staff design lets a single agent delegate tasks to specialized sub-agents, each with a clear description. Combined with a 'grill me' skill that extracts business context, this creates a scalable AI team without requiring technical setup. The real value is in treating agents as a managed workforce, not as isolated chatbots.

Key points

  • The 'grill me' skill interviews the user to create a skill that captures business goals and context, which is then used by all agents.
  • A chief of staff agent (Klaus) is the only bot the user talks to; it delegates tasks to specialized sub-agents based on their descriptions.
  • Sub-agents are created for specific tasks like research, motion graphics, content strategy, and morning planning, with clear descriptions.
  • Shared knowledge across agents can be set via memory files, distinguishing between individual agent memory and shared context.
  • Composio is used as a plugin to connect Grockbot to services like YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn that are not natively available.
  • Agent work can be logged to ClickUp via a skill, creating a project with status, notes, and links for tracking.
  • The 'teach a task' feature records the user's screen to demonstrate a process and turns it into a reusable skill.
  • Routines allow recurring tasks to run on a schedule or on triggers like Slack messages, even when the user's devices are off.
  • The agent computer can save login profiles for websites, enabling secure, automated task execution without sharing credentials.
  • The presenter recommends having the chief of staff agent help build out additional sub-agents based on current goals and struggles.

0:00 Today I'm going to show you guys nine of my favorite Grockbot hacks in just under 10 minutes. Now using all of these hacks will help you get way more out of your Grockbots and you don't have to be

0:07 technical at all to get any of this set up and running. So let's not waste any time and just get straight into the video. And real quick, I'm assuming in this video that you've already set up

0:14 Grockbot or you at least know what it is. And if you aren't in that position, then go ahead and watch this one up here real quick or I guess it's on this side over here. That's going to help you get

0:21 up to speed, understand what it is, and then come back into this video so you can get the most out of it. But with that out of the way, number one, we have using a grill me skill. So, the whole

0:30 value of having a team of AI agents working for you is that they know you and they know your business and they know your goals. So, the best way to get what's in your head into an AI agent

0:38 system like this is to use a /grilli skill. So, this is something that you can get in my free school community for completely free. Go down to the description and grab it in there. And

0:46 what you can see is that I have this skill right here, which I use for Claude, I use for codeex, but I can actually just drag this right into here into my Grockbot and I can say, "Hey, go

0:54 ahead and read this skill. Go ahead and make a new skill in here that you can use." It's called the grill me skill. And then basically what I want you to do is just use this on me to learn more

1:02 about my business and my current goals. So when I shoot that off, it's basically going to have to do a ton of things. It's going to read the skill. It's going to create the skill for us. And then

1:09 it's going to start interviewing us because basically the whole idea of this skill is that as you can see, relentlessly interview the user about every aspect of the topic until you

1:18 reach shared understanding. So basically I like to use grill me when I have new plans for the quarter. I like to use Grillil Me before I build an automation or before I have a new project or before

1:26 I have a new idea. So my agents know exactly what I'm thinking. So this is going to create that skill. As you can see, it just saved it. So I can click into this and I can see that the skill

1:34 is here and I can make any edits if I need to. And now the agent will be able to automatically use the skill whenever you say, "Hey, grill me about X, Y, and Z." Oh, and by the way, if you want to

1:42 see where the other skills live, you just click on plugins and then you go to yours. So they're basically considering these little private plugins the skills. So that's where they are. Now, moving on

1:51 to tip number two, we have setting up a chief of staff. So, right here, you can see on the left, I've got a bunch of different agents. You can see that I've also got them grouped. Like, I've got

1:58 some content agents and some general agents over here. Now, what you'll notice is that I have Klouse pinned. And Klouse is my chief. So, he's my chief of staff. And basically, my whole idea is

2:07 that I want to only talk to Klouse. And Klaus has the ability to delegate work to all of my different specialization agents. Each one of these agents is basically good at one job. And Klouse

2:17 knows which agent is good at what. And then I don't have to worry about talking to all of my different agents. I can just talk to Klouse and it does the rest. As you can see here in my

2:24 description, I say, "This is Nate's chief of staff. Klaus is the only bot Nate talks to before doing any task. Check whether another Grockbot owns it and delegate first. Only do the work

2:33 yourself if no specialist fits. Bring the results back here." So, what you'll notice if I start to scroll up in my conversation with Klouse, we can see when he's messaged other bots. So, right

2:41 here, he's been messaging motion. And you can see the conversation between them. You can see here he was messaging eyes because it needed some research. You can see right below it, it messaged

2:49 minor because it needed some research on content and stuff like that. So, basically the whole idea is you have your main agent and you have a bunch of different sub aents that your main agent

2:57 can delegate to. And basically, the way you do it is you just make sure that in each of your different sub aents, you have a description for them that's very clear. This bot creates motion graphics

3:05 and animations for intros or transitions for YouTube videos. So, these are almost like skills. They're almost just like specialized sub aents that you build. For example, if I come down here to

3:14 eyes, you can see this is my researcher. You can see that coffee is my morning planner. You can see that money deals with Slack media. You can see that views helps me with content strategy. And by

3:21 the way, as you can see, Motion actually made all of these motion graphics that you saw earlier in the video, and it saved them locally here for me in this zip file. So, pretty cool. Which brings

3:30 us on to number three, which is basically the idea that you might be overwhelmed. You might not be able to understand like, oh, what deserves a sub agent, what doesn't? Well, guess what?

3:38 Go through this grill. have your main chief of staff understand what your goals are and then ask it to help it build a team that it thinks will be the most valuable. So here you can see it

3:47 says you already have research, social mining, packaging, motion, blah blah blah. So I wouldn't add a general helper or thumbnail bot or a second chief of staff. I would add tube, I would add

3:57 community, and I would add voice. And as I was able to say, "Hey, by the way, this month I'm working on this or I'm really struggling with this." It would help you build out more and more sub

4:04 agents for you that it can use to be better. And that brings us on to number four. Because as you start to scale up your agents, you might have to worry about memory and stuff because Grockbot

4:14 automatically saves memory, which is really cool. But there is a difference between its individual memory and shared memory across all of your different agents because if you go to plugins and

4:23 you connect to things like Gmail or calendar, all of your agents can use those plugins. So that's great. But watch this. There's basically two different types of files that are saved.

4:31 There's individual level agent memory and then there's also like shared agent memory across all Grock bots. So it's very important that you're specifying to your Grockbots what you need to be

4:42 shared context and what can just stay between you guys. So right here here is the shared knowledge. I'm the CEO of UPAI. I'm in Chicago. I've got this president and COO. Here's my channel.

4:51 Here is blah blah blah. Here's our funnel. Here is Composeio. We use this for YouTube complexity and LinkedIn which is another hack. Just give me a sec to get to that. And then we have

4:58 things that are Clouse only like this. Like this. like this. It's really important to understand what does the agent that you're talking to actually know about you. And look at this quick

5:07 little bonus hack for you guys. You can actually start threads. So, let's say this agent said something right here that was really important and you want to kind of like double tap on that.

5:14 Click on the three dots, start a thread, and now you can have a separate conversation with Klaus about one specific thing and then you can jump back to the main session if you ever

5:21 need to. Okay. Anyways, moving on to the next one. Number four, this is Composeio. So, what I love about Grockbot is how easy it is to set up. And when you go to plugins, all you have

5:30 to do is find the plugin for what you're looking for. Now, there are a lot of them, and I do imagine over time they're going to be adding more and more, but what if there are some that you don't

5:37 have, like YouTube, like Reddit, like LinkedIn, like go high level? Well, that's where you can create an account at something called Composeio that has just like hundreds and hundreds and

5:46 hundreds in here. And you can see that I was able to connect to things like Perplexity and YouTube and other things that I couldn't do inside of Grockbot. And this is called Composeio. And

5:55 luckily inside of Grockbot, if I go here, Grockbot lets you connect to Composio. So you can basically just connect to almost anything through this connection. And that's why in my shared

6:03 knowledge up here, I wanted all my agents to know that Composio is how you get to YouTube, Perplexity, and LinkedIn, as well as other apps that we're probably going to add later. So I

6:10 wanted to add that in my shared knowledge. All right, moving on to number six. We have the idea of agent logging. You're probably going to be using this on your phone and on your

6:17 desktop, and you're going to be shooting off a lot of prompts and a lot of tasks. So what I did is I created a skill in here. If I go to my plugins and I go to mine right here called log grobbot work

6:27 to clickup. Hey, go ahead and create a quick project where I need you to research the top five best voice AI agent providers. Now, what this does is basically Claus is going to kick off a

6:37 message probably to a different agent, right? Probably eyes because that's our researcher. But what's going to happen is it needs to update the actual ClickUp because what I have is this ClickUp

6:45 space where I can now see everything that my agents have done and everything that they're working on and they also leave notes for me. So right here I can see notes. It gives me a link. It tells

6:53 me when it started. It tells me the status. It tells me the owner and all of these different items. I can see basically like what is important and anything that I need to know about them.

7:02 Progress updates. And I can watch them over time. And you can see right here, Clouse said, "Okay, awesome. I logged this right here in your ClickUp." So I should be able to go in here and if I

7:10 see a new in progress right here, research top five voice providers. The owner is Eyes via Klouse. And here is basically what we're looking on. It's waiting on eyes blah blah blah. All

7:19 right. So, moving on to number seven, we have the ability to teach our agents a task. So, when you're building automations and stuff, typically what you do is you use the grill me skill or

7:26 you explain the process super clearly. But if you're doing something that might require like some computer use or maybe it's a little bit too difficult to explain because it's kind of visual. You

7:34 can open up the computer of the actual agent that you're working on. Now, they all have a shared computer, but sometimes their desktops look different, but ultimately under the hood, they all

7:44 have the same shared computer. But what you can do here is teach a task. So, let's say I wanted to teach Klaus how to, I don't know, go to Google images and search for like Chicago Cubs, you

7:54 know, food, and I needed it to every single week give me a rundown of the food that's being sold at Wrigley Field. Or maybe, I guess in this case, I would teach it how to do something like a

8:04 capta. Basically, what's happening right now is it's recording my screen and then whenever I stop the recording, it's going to analyze what it did. It's going to turn that into a skill and then we

8:13 can reuse that in the future if we need to. But anyways, I could go to images and then I could basically just like save a few of these to the desktop or whatever. And then when I hit stop, it

8:22 basically understands what I did. So here you can see it says learn from demonstration. It's going to analyze that and turn that into a skill. All right. And over on this right hand

8:29 panel, we're going to move on to number eight, which is to actually create routines. Now, all of this stuff is great and you can do it on the go because you can use the Grockbot app on

8:37 your phone, which is great. But if you want things to happen when you sleep or if you want them to happen on certain triggers, you can create routines right here. Routines are recurring tasks this

8:45 bot runs on a schedule. So I can hit create routine and I can name it. I can give an instruction. You can also say in this instruction, hey, you know, run this skill or talk to these agents and

8:54 do this. So you can be very specific here. And then you can basically trigger it on a schedule. So every hour, every day, a certain interval or on specific events. Right now we only have these

9:04 six, but I'm sure they're going to add more of these later. But on Slack messages, on Git events, on Teams messages. And that means that these things can run even when your Grockbot

9:12 app is turned off or your phone's turned off or your computer's turned off because this all runs in Gro's cloud. And finally, we have the agent computer, which is something that I already showed

9:20 you guys up here. Obviously, we just took a look at this Capska and we took a look at this thing. But basically, what's really cool is that you can save profiles. So, I taught my um Claus here

9:30 how to do things in my school account. And what happens is if I log in right here to school, you can see that I'm already signed in in my account, which means if I wanted to teach it a task,

9:40 which I already did by the way, it can go ahead and do it. As you can see, if I go to my plugins and I go to my like 7-day challenge post on school, it basically uses the computer in my

9:50 already signed in school account and it watched me go through find posts and like them. And now I can set that up on a routine to do that every day or every week. But the point being, you can have

9:59 these credentials saved in there and you don't have to like paste them in the chat and you don't have to be unsecure about it. You can just go ahead and log in and then Grockbot will be able to use

10:07 that profile. But anyways, I know this one was quick, but I just wanted to show you guys a few of the ways that I've been using Grockbot if you haven't yet or if you're just getting started that

10:14 might be able to help you get more out of it. So, if you guys enjoyed the video or you learned something new, please give it a like. It helps me out a ton. And as always, I appreciate you guys

10:20 making it to the end of the video and I'll see you on the next one. Thanks everyone.
