Grok Bot Templates for Families

Q: What is the difference between a Grok Bot template and a Grok Bot routine?

A template is a bundle of skills, memories and plugins. A routine tells one Bot when to run a job, on a schedule or after an event.

Your family is busy. Pick a template, and let Grok Bot do the work. Each one below is made by The Butler. Hover or tap a row to see it up top, then open it.

Not a chatbot. A bot that does the work, again and again.

Grok Bot is not a regular chat. It is not ChatGPT, not the Grok chat app, and not a Google search. You set it up once, and it does real work over and over, on its own schedule.

A routine "assigns a workflow to one Bot and tells it when to run—on a schedule or, where supported, after an event." Source: docs.x.ai FAQ So the job gets done again and again, without you asking each time. For big steps, you can add "Ask first" rules for things like sending, buying or deleting.

Examples from our family routines:

Every weekday afternoon: it sorts school email by child.
Sunday to Thursday evenings: it makes the what's-tomorrow school checklist.
Every week on your plan day: it plans next week's dinners.
Every Friday: it writes the household spending summary.
On the 1st of each month: it reviews every recurring subscription.
Every night: it files new family papers in Google Drive.

One Butler bot. Many jobs.

Ready to go, yours to change. Every Butler template comes prebuilt. Once you add it, you can change 100% of it to fit your family.
Our pick: one main bot. Start with ONE main Butler bot. Add templates to it as routines or skills, about 10 household jobs in one bot. (The Butler's recommendation.)
Why one bot? One bot knows your whole household, so every job uses the same family facts. And you check one chat, not dozens. Each bot keeps its own chat and learned role, separate from other bots. Source: docs.x.ai FAQ
When to add a second bot. Give a job its own bot only when it needs privacy, its own personality, or a heavy workload. Examples: co-parenting messages, or a side business. (The Butler's recommendation.) Note: bots share the same computer, files and logins, so xAI says not to use a separate bot as a security lock. Source: docs.x.ai FAQ
Bots can team up. Bots can message and trigger each other. Source: x.ai Grok Bot 101 Routines run on a schedule or, where supported, after an event. Source: docs.x.ai FAQ
Skills travel. A skill is how to do a job. Source: docs.x.ai FAQ Templates you add as skills can also be used on any other bot you make later. (The Butler's tip.)

Templates FAQ

Should I make one bot per template or put them all in one bot?

Our recommendation: put them in one main Butler bot. Add each template as a routine or skill, about 10 household jobs in one bot. One bot knows your whole household, and you have one chat to check, not dozens. Make a separate bot only for a job that needs privacy, its own personality or a heavy workload, like co-parenting messages or a side business. Each bot keeps its own chat and role, but bots share the same computer and logins, so a separate bot is not a security lock. Source: docs.x.ai FAQ Bots can also message and trigger each other.
