Build a Business Intelligence System With Grok Bot
Build a Business Intelligence System With Grok Bot
What you need
- Connected apps
- Stripe, Google Analytics, Search Console, Meta Ads and Google Ads, through connectors, MCPs, APIs or the bot’s browser, whichever works.
- Routines
- A morning routine, set up only after several clean runs by hand.
What prompted it
Working out what was happening in the business meant opening a load of platforms, each with its own dashboard and its own idea of what matters.
What Grok Bot did
- Built a simple dashboard in Cursor with the numbers the author already checks: revenue, ad spend, traffic, search and new customers.
- Had Cursor keep the numbers in data files, and told the bot that is where the data goes.
- Made a bot whose only job is to keep the dashboard current, and told it which fields to pull from each source.
- It cleans the data first (dates, currencies, renamed campaigns, overlapping date ranges) and flags any source it couldn’t update.
- After each update it adds anything odd to a “Things worth looking at” section.
- Ran it by hand and checked the numbers against the original dashboards before turning it into a routine.

- Don’t collect everything. Tell the bot only the fields the dashboard needs.
- Let Stripe have the final say on revenue, since every ad platform takes credit for the sale.
- Better to show yesterday’s number with a warning than a made-up one after a failed login.
