Here's how I'm running my $4M/year SaaS with a $260/month executive team of Grok Bots:
Inbox Triage - is logged into my email, Facebook, X, LinkedIn. It ignores/closes all emails and DMs that don't need a reply from me. It opens an inbox item in Trello with a link to the email or DM if it needs a reply.
Assistant - helps me plan my day and week schedule. Has access to my calendar. I chat back and forth to plan out fitting lunch, gym, meetings, handling my inbox, and "creative time" boxes into my day.
COO - is logged into Intercom and Slack to give me a report on any customer requests or project deadlines slipping.
Daily News - summary of news for each of my stock investments ($RIVN, $QXO, $FLUT, $CHTR, and $TINY.TO), the latest Reddit or social media thing going viral in my business niche which is Ubiquiti stuff.
CMO - this one hasn't been useful tbh because I don't trust it to give it access to social media accounts, blog, or website and as a thought partner it's not very intelligent. It seems to me that Grok Bots are for actually doing things, Grok direct is still best for strategy and thinking through ideas.
CISO - I put it in a group chat with all the other bots and they were given instructions on what not to do by the CISO bot for security purposes.
CFO - I give it access to QuickBooks, ProfitWell, and our internal reporting dashboards then ask it questions and bounce ideas.
They're all running around logged into my accounts via a web browser in the Grok Bot provided VM.
Zero APIs or integration setups needed.
What you need
- Connected apps
- None: every bot works through a web browser in the Grok Bot VM, logged into the author’s accounts. The author says no APIs or integrations had to be set up.
What prompted it
The founder of a $4M/year SaaS wanted help with inbox, schedule, operations, news and finances without setting up APIs or integrations.
How it’s set up
- Inbox Triage is logged into email, Facebook, X and LinkedIn. It closes whatever doesn’t need a reply and opens a Trello item, with a link, for whatever does.
- Assistant has calendar access and plans the day and week with the author: lunch, gym, meetings, inbox time and creative time.
- COO is logged into Intercom and Slack and reports on customer requests and slipping project deadlines.
- Daily News summarizes news on the author’s stock holdings and whatever is going viral in the business niche.
- CISO sits in a group chat with the other bots and tells them what not to do, for security.
- CFO has QuickBooks, ProfitWell and internal dashboards; the author asks it questions and bounces ideas off it.

The author’s take: Grok Bots are for doing things, while Grok itself is still better for strategy and thinking through ideas.
