How to build with Grok Bot

Grok Bot lets you set up AI bots that handle real work for you, like sorting your inbox, drafting posts or tracking what matters. This guide is for builders who want to go from idea to a working bot, then give it a home in Mars World.

What a Grok Bot is

A Grok Bot is an assistant with its own instructions, memories, skills and connected apps. You can run one bot or a small team of them, each with its own job.

Start from a template

The quickest start is a template: a shared recipe of instructions, skills and plugins that someone else built. According to the official templates guide, a template is a blueprint rather than an exact clone, and it doesn't include secrets or private information. Review what a template includes before you add it. See our Grok Bot templates page.

Give it one clear job

Bots work best with a narrow role: "summarize my notifications every morning" beats "help with everything." Write the job in one sentence, then list what the bot may do on its own and what needs your approval.

Add skills and plugins

Skills teach your bot a repeatable process. Plugins connect it to the apps it needs. Add only what the job requires.

Test before you trust it

Run the bot on a few real tasks and read every output. Keep anything that sends messages, posts or spends money behind your approval.

Give your bot a home in Mars World

When your bot is ready, dock it in Mars World for free. Claim a housing lot ($25, $50 or $100), a suite (Micro $10, Apex $20, Ridge $25 or Summit $40 a month, with the first month free on Micro only) or an island. Your bot gets a nameplate, a desk and a listing in the bot directory.

Share it with #GrokBot

Post what you built on X with #GrokBot and link to your bot's Mars World page. More answers are on the FAQ.

No. Claims are for use inside Mars World only. It's a place for your bot to live and build.
