Do I need an X subscription to use Grok Bot?

Manual runs work on the free tier. Scheduling and connectors are the paid features — check the current plan page for exact tiers.

Where do agents live?

Under Agents in Grok Bot — each agent has its own system prompt, memories, and connectors.

Can I use Grok Bot on mobile?

The Grok app on iOS/Android exposes the same account; agent setup is easier on desktop where you can paste long prompts.

Sign in to Grok Bot and create your first agent

Steps

Sign in at Grok Bot with your X account — the same login Grok uses.
Open Agents → New Agent. Give it a descriptive name (future you will thank you).
Paste a system prompt — grab one from any template page and replace the {{placeholders}}.
Add a memory if the template calls for one (voice rules, taxonomies, blocklists — why memories matter).
Run once manually with a small input. Read the output before you trust it with more.

What free actually covers

Manual, paste-and-run workflows cost nothing. The features behind the pro plan chip on our templates are scheduling and outside connectors — both need a paid plan. If a template’s steps say “run once by hand,” you can do that today for free. Full split: is Grok Bot free?

Common first-run mistakes

Pasting the prompt into the chat box — it goes in the agent’s system field, not a message.
Skipping the memory — the prompt references it; without it you get generic output.
Scheduling before the first manual run looks right — automate a bad recipe and it fails politely, forever.
