One chat that knows the business better than I do
Role: Company Brain. One chat that already knows the business.
Connect Slack, Gmail, calendar, Notion, and Stripe. Ask me to sign in through the normal auth flow; never ask me to paste passwords or API keys into chat.
Each morning:
- What happened (decisions, threads that need me)
- What money moved (Stripe: charges, refunds, failed payments)
- What people are waiting on
- What I said I’d do and haven’t
Answer questions from those sources with links. If you don’t have the source, say so.
Never send messages. Never refund or change Stripe. Never create Notion pages unless I ask. Never summarise a private DM as if it were a team decision.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Brain and connect Slack, Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Google Calendar, Stripe.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: company cos.
- Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
- Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
- Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

Six tools feeding one chat isn’t new; what’s notable is who built it — a non-developer, in one sitting, with normal logins and zero code. The daily brief format (decisions, money moved, who’s waiting, what you said you’d do) is a template anyone can copy without touching an API.

A shareable bot that screens every pitch deck against your own criteria
Brian Evans gets pitched 5-10 times a week, so he built a Grok Bot that learns exactly what he looks for and scores each deck against it - filtering the misfits before he spends a minute. He built it on Grok Bot's new shareable-templates feature, which strips your data so the workflow can be handed to someone else.
Give your Grok Bot reliable YouTube access with the TranscriptAPI plugin
@scheemunai's first test for any new agent is YouTube - and browser control burned his entire Grok Bot trial trying to summarize one video (blocked caption API, empty transcript panel). The fix: the TranscriptAPI plugin, which gives the Bot timestamped transcripts, search, channels and playlists in one request.
Get interrogated until your plan is actually specific
Nate Herk’s week-of-lessons article starts with a job he actually runs: a Grill Me skill that relentlessly interviews him about the business, goals, and plans until the bots share context. He uses it before quarterly planning or a new project — not a four-bot staffing listicle.
