Section 12
Notes that arrive on their own
Some help can be set once, then it shows up without you having to remember to ask.
Skills you can ask for by name
A skill is a saved way of doing a job. Skills are shared, so every Bot on the account can use them. You say the name, and the steps stay the same.
- “Explain this letter.” What it is, whether you need to act, by when, and whether it looks like junk. One sentence first.
- “Does this look like a scam?” The warning signs, then stop and ask your family. It will not give you a yes, a probably, or a no and send you on your way.
- “Help me get ready for the doctor.” Symptoms, medicines, and questions, on one short list you can print.
- “Good morning.” Weather, today’s plans, today’s pills, and one kind word.
- “Ask me about my life.” One question at a time, then the story is saved.
- “Grocery list.” One running list, read back when you ask.
A routine, which is a standing note
A routine belongs to one Bot. It runs in the cloud, even if the computer is closed. The note arrives as a message from that Bot, or as a notification. Your family asks the Bot that should own the job to create it.
- Every morning, around 7:30: weather, today’s calendar, and today’s pills.
- At pill time: a short note, such as “8 a.m. blood pressure pill.” On the phone, an alarm works only while the Grok Bot app is open.
- Sunday evening: birthdays and appointments this week, and who you have not talked to lately.
- Tuesday night: trash out. The first of the month: bills due.
- Once a month, to your helper: a list of routines, so they can review them with you.
A new routine does not run the minute it is created. It waits for the next scheduled time. If it is set at 8:05 for every day at 8:00, the first note is tomorrow.
Grok Bot comes with several plans, including some X and Cursor plans, and a linked SuperGrok or X Premium+ account. If the account already includes it, do not buy a second subscription in the App Store or on Google Play. Your family member checks that with you.
