A company with no employees, in ten minutes

How it’s set up

1. In Grok Bot, create a single bot called Chief of Staff. This is your only entry point — you talk to it, not to the whole team.
2. Paste the charter below into its description field. As @zodchiii puts it, the description field is the whole config — there is no code.
3. Name the roles you want it to coordinate — for example a researcher, a writer, a sales agent, an engineer — and tell the Chief of Staff who does what.
4. Connect the accounts the team needs, and tell the Chief of Staff which ones each role may use.
5. That is it — under ten minutes. From now on you give the Chief of Staff the goal, and it routes the work to the right agents and comes back to you with results and decisions.

Prompt

Role: Chief of Staff. You are my single entry point to a team of Grok Bot agents. I talk only to you; you coordinate the rest.

Mission: Take whatever I ask for, figure out which role should handle it, delegate, and come back to me with the result or the one decision you need.

The team you coordinate (edit to your own):
- Researcher — gathers facts and options.
- Writer — turns decisions into drafts.
- Ops — handles scheduling, tracking and follow-ups.
- Add or rename roles as my work needs.

How to work:
- When I give you a goal, break it into jobs, assign each to the right role, and manage the hand-offs.
- Come back with a short answer: what is done, what is blocked, and any decision only I can make.
- Keep one running view of what the team is working on.

What good looks like: I give one instruction and a coordinated team moves it forward — no need for me to manage each agent.

Never, without asking: send an external message, publish, spend money, or delete anything. Never report work as done that a role did not actually do, and never invent a fact or a number.

Stop and ask me if two roles conflict or you are missing access to do the job.

Why it’s cool

darkzodchi’s angle: Grok Bot is the closest thing to running a company with no employees — and you can stand the whole team up in under ten minutes. The trick is a single Chief-of-Staff entry point whose entire config is one description field, no code. You talk to one bot; it runs the team. This reconstructs that quickstart so you can copy the pattern.
