If you're looking for a complete tutorial on GrokBot, this is the video for you.

My name is Charlie, and I've been using GrokBot extensively, both within my businesses and my personal life,

and I'll show you exactly how to use it.

By the end of this video, you'll know exactly what GrokBot is, how it's different from the other platforms,

how you can build your first AI teammate from scratch, give access to actual apps,

and put your agents on a schedule so it can actually work while you sleep.

GrokBot is definitely one of the most beginner -friendly AI tools out there, and that's why I love it so much.

It is way less complicated it actually feels like you're talking to your teammates who are down to work 24 -7.

They actually have their own computers or they have their own web browser.

So you can see what they're actually doing.

It is super, super cool.

And I'm really excited to show you guys in this video.

So the first thing you'll want to do is go to x .ai slash bot.

This is where you can download the application for your computer.

You also learn a bit more about what you can actually do.

And of course, the pricing page.

So this is not like a free app.

You will need one of these plans at least.

There are also different levels.

So for me, I'm on the Grok Plus plan.

This is $100 per month, billed monthly, but you can also get in for a lot cheaper.

The only difference really is going to be how much usage you get.

So if you're a light user, then one of the beginner plans is totally gonna be good enough.

Also, if you already have an eligible cursor, Super Grok or Teams plan, GrokBot is actually included for free.

So guys, go to the site, click on download.

And yeah, it's gonna look something like this.

Now I'm in my account, which already has a bunch of different bots here on the left.

And so for each of these bots that I've created, they all have their own different function or their own different role.

And I think if you guys are starting with GrokBot, the first type of thing you should make is an executive assistant.

So I'll show you guys how to do this.

So all you have to do is click on this plus button right here.

You're going to click on create new bot.

Bot is now created.

Now you're going to name it.

To name it, click on this right here.

We'll name it executive assistant.

And then you can write a quick description right here.

This is not that important, but I wrote something like that and we'll leave this on to get notified

when the bot finishes or needs an input

and now we can just start chatting to it the cool thing about grokbot is

that it's going to learn over time

so you can chat with it just like you would with a person

so as you can see it's prompted us on what it should own

so i'm gonna for example say day -to -day ops right now i'm also gonna just talk to it

so you are my executive assistant please help me with miscellaneous tasks from From there on, you can just start giving it tasks.

And the cool thing is that over time, it's going to learn the things that you like.

It's going to build routines for you if you ask it to.

You'll have access to all of your different accounts.

And it's just a really cool beginner -friendly AI platform.

So what I would do first is click on your name here on the bottom left.

We're going to go to settings.

Feel free to play around with all of these.

Here you can see your usage and billing.

So once this reaches 100%, you won't be able to use it until it resets or you pay for more usage.

Here you can update your app as well as your GrokBots computer.

So yeah, every once in a while, since it is running its own

Linux computer, you will want to update it.

You can also reset the computer if you need, if it gets stuck, but I don't recommend doing this too often.

Now, one of the first things I recommend doing is connecting all your accounts.

And there are a bunch of different ways to do this.

First, you can do it directly within GrokBot.

So you can say something like this, connect my email accounts.

Let's start with Gmail.

Since this is my account, my Gmail has already been connected but let's see what it says

so i'll click on add another gmail just to show you guys let's call it work

and now you're going to click on this to actually add

and log into your account you can do this individually for all of your different accounts directly within the chat

and it doesn't really matter which bot you use they all share the same linux computer

but they have their different workspaces if

that makes sense another really good way to connect other tools is with some type of mcp tool

so there are a bunch you guys can use i recommend something like Composio or Zapier.

With that, you just need to connect your Composio account one single time.

And within your Composio account, that is where you add all your different tools.

This is honestly probably the best way to do it.

And it's what I recommend if you have a ton of different logins and things you want to connect.

Otherwise, if you don't have too many, you can just do it directly within Grokbot.

Now, like I said, over here is going to be your roster of teammates.

And as you build more and more, this list is going to get longer.

Whenever you click on one of these teammates, you're going to see your conversation thread with them.

And of course, you'll be able to give them tasks, see what they're doing, all that stuff.

One of the really cool things about GrokBot is that each of your team members has their own screen.

So what I can do is click on this screen right here.

It's going to start up their desktop and I can actually see what they are currently doing.

Now it's not currently doing anything right now, but as you can see,

I can open up Google Chrome and I can actually do stuff on that team member's computer.

So for example, if I go to gmail .com, I can log in, I can do a bunch of stuff.

And this is really where it gets cool because you can treat this person as like a person with a computer, right?

They can do a bunch of tasks for you.

They can literally be your assistant.

As long as they are logged into, let's say your Gmail or to your workspace or to your other platforms,

they can do real life stuff for you.

For example, I've had my GrokBot assistant.

I've had it place orders on Amazon.

I've had it download different documents, fill them out.

It can do all of this because it has its own computer.

Another really cool thing is that you can actually teach it a task.

So if you come up here to the top right and click on this button,

you can actually start doing a task and it's going to be watching and learning.

So like I said, your GrokBot gets better and smarter over time, and you can directly teach it by doing stuff within its own computer.

100

So I'm going to exit out of this, and let me give it a very simple task.

101

So find me the three best soundbars to buy right now that are under $500.

102

I prefer to shop on Amazon.

103

I'll say do this on your computer so I can see it.

104

It doesn't do this on its desktop every single time, but I just want to show you guys how it works directly on its screen.

105

Cool, so now it's on Amazon.

106

It's searched up soundbar.

107

I assume what it's going to do is go and see which ones have the best reviews.

108

And yeah, if you want to log into your Amazon account and actually give it permission to buy things, it can absolutely do that.

109

So essentially, you can basically multitask, talk to all of your different teammates one after another,

110

and just have a bunch of different things going on at the same time.

111

Now, if you guys have a business, I also recommend having some type of chief of staff.

112

This is going to be like your head of operations who helps coordinate with all your other different bots.

113

And what you guys will see is that every single bot should have some specific thing it owns.

114

Besides, of course, the EA, the executive assistant, as well as the chief of staff.

115

So I can create a new bot and call it something like researcher.

116

And the main purpose for this bot is going to be doing research on whatever topics I give it.

117

Researcher one.

118

You can even have multiple researchers if you want.

119

And one of the really cool things about GrokBot is that your agents can talk to one another.

120

So let's say your executive assistant needs something from researcher one it can actually message it on its own accord, have researcher one do something,

121

and then researcher one is going to message your executive assistant back.

122

I see my agents talking to each other all the time.

123

That's very cool.

124

It definitely feels like you have a team that's like an actual team working together.

125

And it's very, very intuitive, right?

126

Like I think with a lot of AI platforms, it can get a little bit confusing on what's happening.

127

You always feel like you need to put your own input for stuff to be happening.

128

But with GrokBot, stuff can be happening all the time.

129

Your agents are talking to one another and it's just very, very cool.

130

Now I'm gonna go back to my own EA since this one has a bit more stuff in it.

131

On the right here, you can see I have three different routines.

132

I have a weekday morning brief.

133

I have this right here and I have another one.

134

So as you use your GrokBot, you can create different routines that run on different schedules.

135

So for example, I could say something like this.

136

Every morning at 9 a .m., look through my Slack and email and send me a report.

137

From this, it's going to create a routine and on the right side, you'll be able to see all the routines for that particular bot.

138

So most of my bots do have routines.

139

And this is very important

140

because you want to tell it to do things every time you want it to do something, right?

141

You want it to run on a schedule, just like a real employee.

142

And when that happens, it becomes like this whole automated system.

143

You can even chat with your executive assistant, ask it, hey, what types of routines do you think I should give you?

144

And it'll suggest them.

145

Just have a very natural conversation with your executive assistant.

146

Tell it about your life, what you do, your routines, and it's going to suggest how it can help.

147

Now, I also want to talk about what types of bots I have for my business.

148

I recommend having a finance bot.

149

So this is going to be in charge of all finance stuff.

150

With this bot, you can have it chase invoices.

151

You can have it email clients.

152

You can give it access to your QuickBooks, and it can send you big financial reports.

153

I also have a bot that helps with my newsletter.

154

So it helps to actually log into Beehive, which is the platform I use, help draft things up.

155

It can even write things.

156

And I've set it up so that I can actually go out and find news and articles to put within my newsletter.

157

I also have an assistant for one of my other companies, which is an overseas recruiting company.

158

I have a content strategist bot.

159

I have multiple research bots.

160

I have a LinkedIn outreach bot.

161

And yeah, the list goes on.

162

The number of bots you have really depends on how complex your businesses are or how complex your life is.

163

But you can basically create as many bots as you want.

164

Coming back here to our executive assistant.

165

So it's given us three different soundbars with links to each one.

166

I can of course also see my executive assistance screen.

167

It's currently on this soundbar right here.

168

So yeah, I can sign into Amazon and I can just tell it, okay, buy this one right here and send it to this address.

169

It's quite smart.

170

It definitely moves slower than a real human, but it will get things done.

171

I've even had my grok bot go to the help chat bar and talk to customer service agents on my behalf.

172

So it will literally talk to them and I just need to tell it what I want it to say and do.

173

Now I want to show you guys the marketplace.

174

So if you guys click right here, you guys can see there are different bots that you guys can actually import into your own account.

175

For example, this is a very cool one, Dr. Eggbot.

176

If I click on this, it's going to give its description.

177

So as you can see, this one designs high quality grokbots.

178

It's going to ask you some questions and then it's going to actually create them for you.

179

Yeah, this is something that you guys can do if you want some help creating your bots.

180

All you have to do is click on import bot right here.

181

This is also where you see your featured plugins.

182

So if you want to connect to Gmail or Google Drive or Google Calendar directly, this is where you're going to do that.

183

So if I click here, view all.

184

Here you can see I can add Slack.

185

I can add Notion.

186

And it's just very easy.

187

You just log in with your credentials.

188

You can even connect a password manager.

189

So if you want, you know, GrokBot to be able to log into things without you having to enter it yourself,

190

don't worry, it never really shares the password with the bot itself.

191

It's all done very securely.

192

Yeah, I recommend just looking through these, see which apps you use, and you can connect them directly in here.

193

Or like I said before, you can connect them directly within Composio.

194

Now you can also create different threads.

195

So if I click this plus button right here, I can create a group chat.

196

So let's say I want to add my executive assistant, I want to add finance and I want to add my COO.

197

So I can say something like this.

198

Do we have any outstanding invoices?

199

If so, let's coordinate on how we can get them paid.

200

So this involves my executive assistant, my finance person, and my COO.

201

Now you'll see this thread right here where all of your bots live.

202

So I can access this chat whenever I want.

203

If I want to talk to all three of these bots at the same time, this is where I'm going to go for that.

204

I find this is mostly helpful for visibility, right?

205

Because if you talk to, let's say, your executive assistant by itself, it may talk to your finance person,

206

have its own chats, you don't really see that.

207

So if you want to see all the messages between these bots together in one place, that's why you would do this.

208

So as you can see, it's asked finance, can you pull the open accounts receivables from QuickBooks?

209

I'm not going to show you this whole process, but this is just one example of how you guys can use group threads.

210

So I'm back here in my executive assistant, since I think this will be applicable for most of you guys.

211

Since my Gmail is connected, I'm going to have it send an email.

212

So I'm going to actually say any emails I should respond to, brief me.

213

It's going to go into my Gmail, see if there are any unresponded emails, and I can actually handle all my emails directly within GrokBot.

214

Okay, so as you can see, I have four different things that I can actually respond to.

215

I'm going to say this.

216

Reply to Lisa saying thanks.

217

Of course, most emails you're probably going to send are a bit more complicated, but I just want to show you guys.

218

And as you can see, it's now sending Lisa a quick thanks on that thread.

219

So yeah, instead of logging into your email, you can actually do everything right here.

220

And I think that's really cool.

221

Now, Now I did mention this, but all of your bots share one cloud computer.

222

It shares the same files, the same browser, the same logins.

223

So if one bot is logged into your email, then every single other bot can also reach it.

224

You can tell certain bots not to do particular things or access particular accounts, but just know that that is the tech setup right now.

225

Besides that, using GrokBot is very similar to using any other AI platform.

226

You can ask it miscellaneous questions.

227

You can have it do research.

228

You can use it as a tutor, a mentor, a therapist, anything.

229

What differs is really the layout and how you actually talk to your agents.

230

The reason why I use GrokBot is because for me, it's the most intuitive.

231

It actually feels like I am talking to a bunch of team members.

232

And since each of them has their own screen, you can actually have it do a lot of tasks that are not possible in other platforms.

233

So many of these tasks, I would have had to hire an actual person to handle them for me.

234

But it's just so cool because GrokBot can actually do stuff.

235

Like I guarantee you, if you guys download GrokBot right now, you will find a bunch of use cases for your life or your business,

236

and it's going to save you a ton of time.

237

That's all I really wanted to cover in this beginner video for GrokBot.

238

If you guys want to learn more about AI, I do have a free school community, so I will link that down below.

239

And if you guys want to save some money on a bunch of different AI tools, I'll also put links in the description.

240

Thank you guys so much for watching.

241

242

I do a ton of content on this channel about personal finance,

243

244

245

Peace.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
