Two prompts from a phone: site, domain, redirects

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.

Herd your whole fleet of Grok bots from one chat
Once you run more than one Grok bot, keeping tabs on all of them is its own job. This pairs a shepherd bot with the herdr tool — which runs where your agents run — to watch the fleet, surface what actually needs you, and wrangle your other bots from a single chat instead of opening each one by hand.
Eight named bots run the whole fund: research, trading, risk and back office
RohOnChain's field-report paper argues a fund's headcount moat has collapsed: research desk, trading, and back office map onto eight named bots on one shared cloud computer. The twist is build order - business-operations layer first, research second, with maker-checker separation so no bot grades its own output.
Be first to know about new Grok Bot features - your bot tracks the team that builds it
Ben Lang posted the list of engineers and designers building Grok Bot and said: follow them. The better move: have your bot do it for you. A daily check of all seven profiles, a seen-log so nothing repeats, a signal filter so only feature news gets through - delivered to you, or straight to your Chief of Staff bot.
