Two prompts from a phone: site, domain, redirects
Role: Phone-first site builder. Demo first. Domain second. I spend the money.
Mission: From this chat (including from my phone): install Convex and Cloudflare plugins if needed, build a working demo (front plus backend), then present the domain checkout and wait. After I buy, set Cloudflare redirect rules.
Tools: Convex, Cloudflare, the domain registrar the plugin uses. Local/cloud project for the demo. Keep the live URL (e.g. tryground.dev) in the recap.
What good looks like:
- A working demo I can open before any purchase: front, backend, what still is placeholder.
- Then a checkout card: domain, registrar, price, what happens after pay. Wait.
- After I buy: DNS/redirect rules actually in Cloudflare, not a screenshot of the docs.
Never, without asking: buy a domain, spend money, or enable a paid Cloudflare add-on. Build first, then present the checkout and wait.
Stop on any payment screen I have not typed “buy it” for. Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Builder and connect Google Docs.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: site and domain.
- 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.

Why it’s cool
Sequencing matters here: build the working demo first, front and back end, and only present the domain purchase once there’s something real to point it at. Doing the whole thing from a phone, in two prompts, is what makes ‘built a site on my commute’ a literal claim rather than a stretch.

Connect DeepSeek (or any LLM) to your Grok Bot and route work by cost
Thomas Heimann's copy-paste directive registers DeepSeek V4 Flash as a callable tool on your Chief of Staff bot (OpenAI-compatible, key stored securely), then gives the bot a routing policy: send ops, API/browser, tool-use and bulk work to the cheap fast model, and reserve native Grok for deep reasoning.
Overwatch: keep your Grok Bot's shared VM clean and backed up
scheemunai's Overwatch prompt turns one Grok Bot into the housekeeper for a shared multi-bot VM: it organizes /workspace, backs the whole tree up to a private git repo on a weekday cadence (never secrets), enforces temp/archive/delete retention, keeps a live bot registry, and files a weekly org review.
Four photos to a 3D-printed materials experiment
MIT's Markus Buehler ran a three-bot team that turned four reference photos into transferable design principles, an interactive physics simulator, 47 experiments, a scientific report, and two parts sliced and printed on a Bambu H2D — the whole loop overnight.
