TLDR
Grokbot just dropped its price by 70%, making it accessible on the $60/month Cursor Pro plan instead of the previous $200/month, and offers a free trial with limited usage. The platform's key differentiator is its multi-agent architecture where specialized agents (email, invoicing, meetings) communicate with each other autonomously, plus it supports scheduled routines and event-driven triggers. For anyone managing multiple inboxes or complex workflows across apps, this is a more practical alternative to single-agent tools like Claude Code, though its value depends entirely on how many of its integrations you actually use.
Key points
- Grokbot's price dropped from $200/month to $60/month via the Cursor Pro plan, and a free trial with limited usage is now available.
- The platform uses multiple specialized agents (e.g., health, email, invoicing, content) that can communicate with each other autonomously without manual prompting.
- Users can create scheduled routines (e.g., daily inbox check at 8 AM) and event-driven triggers (e.g., Slack message triggers an invoice agent).
- Grokbot supports connecting multiple accounts per app, such as multiple Gmail inboxes, which is not possible in Claude Code or Hermes Agent.
- The plugin marketplace includes hundreds of pre-built connectors, and missing integrations can be added via Zapier MCP, connecting to 9,000+ apps.
- A meeting agent can automatically pull notes from Granola (AI notetaker) and add action items to ClickUp with due dates and team assignments.
- The Parallel plugin enables faster, token-efficient web scraping and page monitoring (e.g., track Bitcoin price and get notified when it hits $80,000).
- The invoice agent can auto-generate invoices in a user's style from email triggers, draft replies, and track payment status in ClickUp.
- The presenter claims to have almost completely switched from Claude Code to Grokbot for daily tasks, citing the multi-agent architecture and phone app as key advantages.

This might be controversial, but I was completely wrong about Grockbot. I've been using it every single day since it released about 12 days ago, and my view on it has completely flipped. On top of
that, it just got 70% cheaper to use today, and you could try it out for free. So, in this video, I'm going to go over real life ways that I'm using this, what I like about it compared to other
AI agents like Claude Co-work, and I'm even going to give you tactical things that can give it superpowers that most people don't know about. So, by the end of this video, you'll understand if
Grockbot is right for you. Let's dive in. Now, first of all, we have some great news. If you've been wanting to try out Grockbot, but you didn't because it was too expensive. They just made it
accessible to some of the cheaper plans. So, let me go over how you could use this right now and how much you need to pay in order to do so. Now, here's the important part. I do want to point out
that they're offering a free trial with limited usage for all other users. So, this probably won't get you too far, but it will at least give you the ability to test this out yourself and see what it's
capable of. If we take a look at pricing right here, we could be on the cursor pro plan for $60 per month. And with this, we get access to Grockbot. Before today, we would have to pay $200 per
month, which is extremely steep for people to go and try this out. So, I really do think this price change is going to make it much more accessible for everyday people to begin using this.
Now, if you still don't want to fork out $60 per month, make sure to stay to the end of this video because I'm going to go over everything that Grockbot is capable of. So, you don't have to guess
on whether or not this is going to be worth it for you or not. Now, with pricing out of the way, let's dive into how exactly to use this, where we can use it, what the platform actually looks
like, and then we're going to dive into the agents and use cases that I've personally been using every single day for the last 10 to 12 days. So, first of all, you can go ahead and download this.
I'm going to add a link in the description. You could download this for your Mac operating system as well as you could download this on your phone, which is my personal favorite way to interact
with this. Now, once you download this onto your desktop and you open it up, this is what you're going to see. Well, I guess you won't see all of this because I have ton of different agents
I've configured. Let me break down exactly how this works. So, one thing that is fundamentally different between this and something like Claude Code, Claude Co-work, Codeex, and all these
different AI agents that we've used in the past is that we have multiple different agents that are basically just chat threads that we can interact with. As you can see, I have a health agent up
top. I have my main agent. I have a brand partnerships agent, contentbot, short form, inbox triage, investment agent. I basically have probably at this point like 12 different agents that I'm
running every single day. And if I click on one of these agents, you could see all of the previous conversations that we've had with it, which I personally like. It makes it very organized. So
when I want to go and do anything email related, all I have to do is go to my email agent and I could see everything from previous conversations. Now, one thing I do want to point out is as at
the top you can see I have all of my demo agents. These are the same exact agents that I've configured that I run for myself personally, but I told these agents to use different names for
clients and different price numbers. So, all of this is real information, but it's not the actual clients in the price because I didn't want to show this for confidential reasons. And to be honest,
it's kind of hard to show how I'm using Grockbot when it has all this confidential information. So, think of these demos as the exact same process that I use, but not with my real
information. One thing I want to point out is not only can we have specific conversations with each of these different Grock bots, but they can speak with each other. So, if I pull up my
main agent right here, you can see it's messaging with two other separate agents, which is pretty cool. I didn't even have to go and prompt it to do so. It just knows whenever there is
something brand partnerships related, it will go and text that agent. And the same thing for my email agent. If I ever want to see what they're saying back and forth with each other, I could just
click on this. And I'm going to click on email agent. And I mean, take a look at this. Our main agent gave a brain dump on basically everything that I want accomplished. From there, my email agent
understands this goal and is able to go and pull all this relevant information for me and then feed it back to the main agent. Then inside of my main conversation here with the main agent,
it breaks all this down as you could see right here. So, this is a fundamentally different way that we interact with AI that I'm actually really starting to love. Now, next up, what I want to talk
about is plugins because this is how I'm able to access things like ClickUp or Gmail or Granola and look at all my meeting notes and all those different things. And this is where it could get
really powerful when we connect it to the different applications that we're using on a day-to-day basis. So, if I come over here on the left-hand side, you could see this little button that
says plugins. So, I'm going to click on this. I have a couple that I've already preconfigured, but you could go through and search through this entire list and add some of the different apps you use.
I think right now there's maybe like a couple hundred pre-builtin connectors that you could go ahead and sort through. Now, the best part about the plugins is we don't even necessarily
need to go and configure these ourselves. We could just come into our chat and simply just say, "Hey, I want you to connect to my Google calendar. Can you do it for me?" And Grockbot is
really good at doing the entire process end to end. All we have to do is authorize the account, which it'll populate with this little card here for us to click on, and it'll just do it for
us automatically. Now, let's talk about use case number one that I've been using. Rockbot 4 and that is to help me with my email inbox and this has been a gamecher for me personally. Basically, I
configured my main agent to add a routine which is basically a scheduled task that could run at any given time. And so every morning at 8 a.m. it automatically goes and scrapes not only
my personal email inbox, but also my sponsorship email as well since we can connect multiple different Gmail accounts to our agents. And then it basically just gives me the three things
that I need to focus on today. if there's a specific contract that needs to get signed or if there's an invoice that needs to be generated, then the agent will update me with that. But a
key thing that I want to note here is I'm interacting with the main agent, but this is communicating on my behalf with the email agent right here. So, if I want to open this up and see kind of
what they're talking about, our main agent just says, "Hey, let's run our scheduled task for the morning inbox check." And then the email agent goes and pulls all this information. And then
my main one comes back with all the three things that I need to focus on and do today. Now, in order to set up a routine like this, it's very simple. Either you could come over to the top
right, like you could see right here with this little computer, and then we have routines that we could preconfigure right here. All you have to do is click add. You could give it a name,
instruction, and you could click the trigger, like basically when you want this to run, or you could just come into the chat conversation, say, "Hey, I want you to run this task at this given time
and this given day." and it will set that up for you automatically. Now, one thing I've been really loving about using Grockbot is the fact that we can add multiple accounts to each of the
different apps that we connect. So, if you do want to add multiple email inboxes, I'm going to show you exactly how to do that right now, cuz I get tons of people asking how you could do this
inside of Claude, and it's simply just not possible. This solves a major issue for people that are juggling multiple different email inboxes at once. So, if I click on the Gmail plugin, I have two
different accounts. I have my default account and my sponsorship email account added. And all I have to do is add another account here. Give it a name. I'm just going to call this test or
something. Click authorize. And then what it's going to do is it's going to pull up your Gmail. And all you have to do is just authorize that account. And it takes one click to do so. Then if I
come into my email agent, I can just say, "Hey, can you give me the last three emails from both of my Gmail accounts, please?" And just like that, we get this response. It pulled from my
personal account as well as my other inbox. And again, this has been incredibly helpful for helping me manage multiple inboxes at once, which we weren't able to do with other AI tools
like Claude, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, etc. Now, this next use case is one that's been really helpful in my life, both personally, but on a business side, and this is my meeting agent. So, let me
quickly break down the flow of this right now before showing you a demo. So, at the end of every single day, I have a routine that fires at 5:00 p.m. It will then automatically pull all of my
Granola meeting notes, which if you don't know what Granola is, it's basically an AI notetaker where it automatically joins all of my meetings, gives all the action items from those
meetings, and then inside of the meeting agent, it will automatically add those action items into ClickUp, and assign the due dates as well as the team member that needs to complete these tasks for
me. So, for example, I have this school community board inside of ClickUp, and literally all I did is have a conversation with Granola and give a brain dump on all the things that I need
to do inside of my school community. And then it automatically added all of this to my to-do list as well as it dragged the specific tasks into the in progress tab as well. Now, first of all, if you
want to sign up for Granola, there is a link in the description. You could download this for your desktop as well as on your phone. And then once you have this downloaded, you're going to see
this interface here. So I personally have all these different meetings coming up which Granola is automatically going to join without me needing to like tell it to go and join these meetings. And
then here are all the different notes that I have. These are a mix of different meetings that I had with team members for my business, but also just like notes that I had. So like yesterday
I went on a run and I basically broke down in a voice note for about 5 minutes everything that I need to do and prioritize over the next week before I go on this trip. Now, if I go and click
on one of these notes, you would see that it automatically took the transcript and then summarized it and then added these bullet points right here. That makes it really easy for not
only me to understand what this meeting was about, but also for my EI agents to understand as well. Now, the best part about the meeting agent and granola combined together is I have this
scheduled task where every single day at 5:00 p.m. it's automatically going to go and pull all the meetings that I had inside of Granola. And then what it's going to do is it's actually going to
add these to a specific board inside of ClickUp in order for me to track what's going on inside of my business. So, as you can see, it automatically added these things to this specific board
inside of ClickUp. And one thing I want to note is not only does it add it to the board, but it picks which board to add it to. Cuz for example, I have Loom campaigns, which is for my agency, I
have my invoices and my payments, and I even have a Grockbot task tracker here. So, there's multiple different boards that it can add to, but it knows specifically which one to go and add
these tasks to. And notice that I said that this is in progress confirming YouTube shorts metadata in workflow inside of Metrocool. So, whenever me and my business partner are on a meeting or
something, it'll automatically like move these to whatever process this is in for our business. Now, let me show you how I could use Granola on my phone and basically just give it a brain dump and
then it will automatically use my meeting agent to then route this to ClickUp. Right here, I'm just going to come and click add a new note. Hey, so I'm working on a couple of things right
now um that are kind of top of mind. So, first of all, I'm finishing up this Grock Bob video. So, I need to confirm the packaging. I need to then generate the thumbnail for this video. On top of
that, I need to confirm that my flight is rebooked to Lisbon cuz that flight is in a couple of days. Also, can you add a note to make sure that I don't forget my passport before going to the airport?
So, as you can see, I just simply recorded what I was talking about. You could let this thing run for like 30 minutes and give it a brain dump if you want. And then what it's going to do is
it's going to generate a TLDDR breakdown of what it is that we talked about. So just like that, there's those bullet points right here. I could also access this on my computer as well since it
syncs up with my desktop. Now, if I come into my meeting agent inside of Grockbot and I click on this computer up here and I click on the routine, I could just test run this right now. So what it's
going to do is it's going to scrape Granola via the connector that I gave it. And then it's going to give me the action items and add these to ClickUp for me. Right? So like 30 seconds later,
it then scraped this new note that we just took. It found my YouTube video board and added this right here that I need to confirm Grockbot video packaging and thumbnail generation as well as
inside of my Loom board. It said pack passport before leaving for Lisbon. Now, let's say you scroll through this entire plug-in marketplace and you don't see an app that you want to use that you want
to integrate your agent with. Well, you can use something called the Zap Your MCP, which allows you to connect to 9,000 plus different apps. And it's really easy to set up. So that way you
can work across more applications than just the ones that Grockbot allows you to. For example, I have this MCP server configured right here which has about like 25 different applications that I
can use. For example, there's some apps in here that I cannot connect to directly inside of Grock. So I cannot connect to school which is where I have my entire community as well as Beehive
is another big one which is where I run my email newsletter. So, if I want to be able to perform actions inside of Beehive with my agents that I configure inside of Grockbot, I actually have to
be using Zap Your MCP since it's not accessible in this list right here. Now, this is very simple to set up. First of all, you just need to have a Zapier account. You could sign up with a link
in the description and then you're going to come into your plug-in marketplace and then simply just look up Zapier and then click on this add button. It's going to ask you to authorize your
account from inside of Zapier. And then it will show that it's added right here. And in order to test this out, let me just come into my inbox agent and say, "Hey, I want you to use the Zap Your MCP
to pull different stats from my Beehive campaigns so I can understand how many people I have on my newsletter." And here we go. It went and pulled from Beehive using the Zap Your MCP. It shows
a newsletter size. It shows my open rate as well as the average click rate. And the cool part is I could even have it go and perform actions inside of Beehive for me since it's now connected. Now,
Grockbot or any AI agent for that matter is only as good as the data that we feed it. So, if we're trying to scrape data from the internet, we want it to be efficient, fast, and verified from
sources. Well, I'm going to show you a simple plugin that you can add to Grockbot. So, that way, you never have to worry about whether or not you're getting the right information inside of
Grockbot. All right, I want you to think about it like this. A normal search with a tool like Grockbot is basically like a librarian handing you a cart full of books. You personally still have to read
all these books yourself. Well, if we use a tool like Parallel to read the books, it will then just hand you the three or four different lines that actually matter instead of us needing to
go and source through all this information ourselves. So, this does three different things for Grockbot. One, it's faster. We don't need to have Grockbot go and click through these
different pages. Two, it uses fewer tokens, so our Grock plan lasts us longer. And three, it's just more accurate since our agent is working from the actual source material. It just
makes all of our answers inside of Grockbot more accurate. Not only that, but if you plug in parallel to your Grockbot, you can just have confidence that it's going to be able to go and
scrape whatever it is that you want. Now, another way that parallel can be extremely useful when you tie it with Grockbot is having it go and monitor a specific web page. So, for example,
let's say you have a competitor and you want to track their pricing. You could have it go monitor that website and when there is a new change to the pricing could automatically run a deep research
task inside of parallel and then you could have Grockbot text you the final information. And that's just one use case. There's plenty of other ones you could do in order to monitor specific
web pages on the internet. Now in order to give you an example of how this deep research with parallel works inside of Grockbot I want to show you the output that it gets when it does a deep
research task for us. So for example it shows right here give a history on open web. very simple prompt and what it did is it gave this research document back and this is what the human can view.
This is like all the data that it extracts and shows it in this interface for a human. But what we want to focus on is if I click on machine here, this is what our agent is then fed and this
is a more efficient way for our agent to store data in order for us to interact with it. Now let me show this in action. So, what I did is I basically came to my agent and said, "I want you to use
Parallel in order to monitor the price of Bitcoin. Once it hits $80,000, I want you to message me directly here inside of this agent." So, what it did is it went ahead and set this up inside of
Parallel. I didn't even have to see any of the work that it was doing. But, if I open up my Parallel account and I click on monitor, you can now see that we have this query right here. So, it's going to
use this monitor task in order to track the price of Bitcoin on coin gecko or coinarketcap.com. This is running every single hour and when it hits that price of $80,000 or if it ever does, it's then
going to text me through my agent. And this is just one simple use case that you could use when using Parallel, but it's really powerful when you combine it with Grockbot or any of the agents that
you're using. And it's super simple to set up. So, let me show you how to set it up right now. First of all, you're going to want to sign up with an account. If you don't have an account,
there is a link in the description to sign up. And then all we need to do is come into Grockbot and either you could just chat with the agent and say, "Hey, I want you to connect Parallel to our
account or we could come over to plugin here and then simply search up Parallel." I already have mine added, but let me show you how to install it if you don't already have it installed.
Now, it's as simple as clicking this add button here. It's then going to have you authorize your account in the account that you just set up. And then just like that, we are all set. Now, this next use
case is one specific to me and the type of content that I make. But the main point of this is that we could use Grockbot in order to scrape X for content ideas or just trending things
going on in the AI space. So, we could almost use Grockbot to filter out different things that are going on, whether that's inside of our industry inside of AI, your specific industry,
etc. So for example, I just gave it this very basic prompt inside of my content bot and said scrape X over the last two days and find trending things in the AI space that would be good for content
ideas. Then since it directly connects to Twitter or they call it X now it automatically will go and find all the things trending. So that way I don't need to spend my time scrolling on X
wasting time because it could just suck me in and eats up all my productivity. Now, in order to set this up, you're going to come over to plugins right here, and then you could simply just
search for X. And it's as simple as just clicking authorize, and it will set this up for you. Or you could just come to chat and say, "Hey, I want you to add X." So, you could pull all the posts
from there. Now, this next use case is one that I'm personally going to be using quite a bit, and I've really been loving playing around with this over the last day. And that is my invoice agent.
And not only am I just going to use this invoice agent, but this is going to be paired with my inbox agent that I just showed you earlier on in the video. Now, let me quickly break down exactly how
this is going to work. So, I have my invoicing agent, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to set an autot trigger, which is one of the coolest parts of Grockbot, which I'm going to explain in
a little bit. And what this means is whenever an invoice email arrives, it's automatically going to flag this automation where it's going to then draft a invoice in my style, send the
email to this client, and then on top of that, it's going to track this in ClickUp, so I could see exactly what stage my payments are in inside of ClickUp, as well as my entire team can
view that as well. Now, let me show you exactly how to set this up, cuz it's really easy to create a new bot or an agent inside of Grobbox. So, I'm just going to click on create new. And all
I'm going to do is I'm going to come down to messagebot and just give it a brain dump. All right. So, here's the prompt that I'm going to give it. I basically said create an invoice agent
that does these tasks. Works with the inbox triage agent to scrape my emails. Keeps track of all invoices and owed payments. Generates invoices for me and a specific style. And then tracks the
status of all invoices inside of my ClickUp board called invoices and payments. Then next, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to upload a PDF example of what I want this invoice to
look like. So that way it always recreates it in this style with all of my payment information. So I never need to basically generate an invoice myself again. So here is an example right here
of an invoice that I wanted to recreate. I really like this style. And now when I upload this as a reference, it's always going to look exactly like this. So what I'm going to do now is simply just send
this off to my agent. And now, as you can see, it's going and crafting this invoice style as well as just setting up this entire agent. One thing that you'll notice is we have this little green
icon. So, each of our bots or agents we have basically have their own icon. And whenever it's moving like this, you could see on the left-h hand side, this basically just means that it's working
in real time. If it is stagnant, like some of these ones right here, that means that it's not performing any tasks. I think this is really cool to kind of just see which of the agents are
working at any given time. All right, so just a few minutes later, it actually went ahead generated this invoice in the exact style. This is great. We can go ahead and download this directly onto
our computer. Let me just go ahead download that. And then now it's basically saying that this is done. Say the word when you want to generate the next invoice or want me to pull what's
owed from ClickUp. So since this is already connected to ClickUp, it's able to go and pull the other invoices that I've either sent or generated. So I could see basically what needs to be
paid and what has been paid. Now, this is really cool. We obviously have an agent that has a specific style of invoices that it's able to generate. But where this gets really interesting is
when we come over here to create a routine. This is where we could either have this run on a schedule where every single day this invoice agent will go and scrape from my email inbox and then
identify what invoices we need to generate, but also I could click on create invoice and we can add a specific trigger. So, what I mean by this is we could basically connect this to a Slack
channel. So whenever there is a message related to invoices, it will automatically trigger this agent, which this is the first time we've kind of seen this from these AI agent platforms.
Before we could do scheduled tasks and whatnot in Cloud Co-work, but we didn't really have the option to allow automations to kick off from a specific trigger or event that's happening inside
of our apps. Now, I want to show you something really cool. Now, if I come over to my inbox triage agent, you can see there is this conversation happening between the inbox agent and the invoice
agent. And I didn't even have to go and tell it to go and do this. It just automatically knew intuitively that it needed to communicate with other agent in order to get this done. So, invoice
agent said, "Hey, Brock set me up as the agent. Please hand me anything invoice or payment related from our email triage." So, it basically broke down everything that it needs to flag for us.
And then the inbox triage agent went and pulled through my email and found the specific things that I need to, you know, understand and be up to date with. All right. So, what I'm going to do now
is create a group chat with the invoice agent in my inbox agent. And what I'm going to do is I'm just going to give it a brain dump, but say, "Hey, I want you to go and check my emails from the past
day. Find any email that is invoice related. If there are specific invoices that we need to create, use the invoice agent in order to generate the invoices. Then I want you to draft the reply with
the invoice in the email as well as I want you to then add these to ClickUp in order to track the process and the status of all of these different payments. Now, to show you real quickly
inside of my email inbox, I went ahead and drafted three different emails as demos because I don't want to show like actual invoices that I need to create just for confidential reasons. What it
did is it pulled from my email inbox and now you could see basically all of the invoices that we need to generate right here. So, what it's going to do is now generate the invoices, create the draft
reply for the email, so I could just go and send it myself. And it's then going to update this inside of ClickUp so I could see the status of all these. All right. And just like that, we now have
these emails drafted. So, for example, if I click on this one, you can see that it added this reply email as well as even attached the specific invoice. And I could go ahead and pull this up right
here in the exact style that we fed it. as well as if I come into my invoice and payments board inside of ClickUp, we can now see that all of these invoices have been submitted. As well as if I click on
this, it shows the client information here, shows the email thread, and now me and my team can see exactly where we're at in the invoicing process. So guys, there we have it. That is Grockbot, how
it works, a bunch of different use cases that you can use, and it is now available for free for you to try out or you could have access to it on the $60 per month plan. Like I said, I've been
using this every single day since this has released, and it's completely changed how I've been using AI. I've almost completely switched from using Claude Co-work to now just texting
Grockbot on my phone all throughout the day in order to get different tasks done with my different agents I've configured. And it's really powerful if you connect it to the specific apps you
work across. So, if you guys got some value from this video, leave a like, subscribe to this channel, and let me know what you think of Grockbot. And if you want more videos like this, just
make sure to subscribe. And I have plenty of content coming out soon. Thanks for saying the end and I'll see you in the next
