Grok Bot setup, routines, teams and limits explained in creator guides
Overview
Two X creators publish guides on setting up and managing Grok Bot, xAI's AI teammate that runs on its own cloud computer.
ScottyBeamIO says Grok Bot can replace Siri as the main assistant on iPhone, but only on iOS 18 or later with Premium at $30 a month, since Free and Plus don't include it, and the app must stay open on screen because the Bot can reach the iPhone only while it runs.
A separate guide by distort covers a first bot, routines, a team of bots for jobs such as inbox sorting, phone calls, and five safety rules. It says Grok Bot is rolling out in X Chat on Premium, Super and Ultra, that calls work with US numbers only for now, and that the bot runs on a weekly usage limit that has run out much faster since cuts at the start of November.
