Big Idea

The argument in one line.

Grok Bot's price cut from $200 to $60 a month, combined with agents that can message each other and fire off event-based automations instead of only fixed schedules, makes it a viable way to hand off recurring admin work like inbox triage, meeting follow-up, and invoicing.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…
  • You run a solo business or freelance practice with recurring admin overhead: inbox triage, meeting follow-up, or client invoicing.
  • You're already paying for an AI agent tool like Claude Cowork and want a concrete cost and capability comparison before switching or adding a second tool.
  • You want to connect AI agents to tools like Gmail, ClickUp, Granola, or Zapier and automate handoffs between them.
  • You invoice clients regularly and want that drafted, sent, and tracked without doing it by hand.
SKIP IF…
  • You don't run a business with recurring admin work; this is a workflow-automation video, not a general AI primer.
  • You're not willing to pay $60/month for a platform on top of what you already use, even with a free trial available.
TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Grok Bot dropped from $200 to $60 a month and now offers a free trial, which the creator says is what made it worth switching a chunk of his admin work to it. Grok Bot organizes work into separate named agents (email, meetings, invoicing, brand partnerships) that keep their own chat history but can message each other automatically when a task crosses domains. Plugins connect those agents to Gmail, ClickUp, Granola, and, via Zapier MCP, roughly 9,000 other apps. The video walks through four live workflows: a scheduled inbox sweep, a Granola-to-ClickUp meeting router, a Parallel-powered research and monitoring setup, and an invoicing agent that drafts, sends, and tracks invoices the moment a trigger email arrives, without a fixed schedule.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

  • Grok Bot's Cursor Pro plan dropped from $200/month to $60/month, and a free trial with limited usage is now open to everyone.
  • Grok Bot's agents run in separate chat threads, but they message each other on their own when a task crosses domains, without being told to coordinate.
  • A main agent can loop in an email agent, a brand-partnerships agent, and a meeting agent to assemble one daily brief automatically.
  • Grok Bot's plugin marketplace has roughly a couple hundred prebuilt connectors, and asking the agent to connect an app (like Google Calendar) triggers the authorization flow itself.
  • Grok Bot supports multiple accounts per plugin, so one Gmail connector can hold a personal inbox and a sponsorship inbox and be queried across both at once.
  • Routines are scheduled tasks (an 8am inbox check, a 5pm Granola-to-ClickUp sweep) set up with a name, an instruction, and a trigger time.
  • Granola's AI notetaker auto-joins meetings, transcribes them, and produces action-item bullets that a connected agent can route straight into the right ClickUp board.
  • Zapier MCP bridges Grok Bot to roughly 9,000 apps it doesn't natively support, including tools like Skool and Beehiiv.
  • Parallel returns only the specific lines that answer a query instead of full pages to skim, which cuts tokens, speeds responses, and reduces errors.
  • Parallel can run a recurring monitor task on a webpage or price feed and text you the moment a threshold is crossed, set up from a single plain-language instruction.
  • Auto-triggers let a Grok Bot agent fire an entire workflow (draft, send, track) the moment a specific email arrives, rather than waiting on a schedule.
  • A new agent can be built from a plain-language brief plus one example file, such as a past invoice PDF, and it will replicate that exact style going forward.
  • The creator says Grok Bot now handles about 70% of his admin tasks, while more complex workflows still run on Claude.
Takeaway

How Grok Bot's Multi-Agent System Actually Works

AGENT WORKFLOWS

Grok Bot's price cut and its ability to trigger other agents and fire automations off events, not just schedules, let it take over real chunks of inbox, meeting, and invoicing admin work.

02Pricing: 70% Cheaper + Free Trial
  • Cursor Pro plan dropped from $200/month to $60/month for access to Grok Bot, and a limited free trial is now open to everyone.
  • The free trial has limited usage, so treat it as a way to test capability, not as a full replacement for the paid plan.
03How Grok Bot Works (Multiple Agents)
  • Grok Bot organizes work into separate named agents (health, main, brand partnerships, content, inbox triage, investment, etc.) that function like independent chat threads with their own history.
  • You can run demo agents configured identically to your real ones but stripped of confidential client names and numbers, so you can show a workflow without exposing real data.
  • Because each agent keeps its own conversation history, switching to 'email agent' or 'meeting agent' surfaces exactly the relevant past context instead of one undifferentiated chat log.
04Agents Talk to Each Other
  • Agents message each other automatically when a task crosses domains, for example the main agent pinging the email agent, without being explicitly told to coordinate.
  • You can open the inter-agent conversation directly to see exactly what one agent asked another and what it got back, which makes the automation auditable instead of a black box.
05Plugins: Connect Your Apps
  • Plugins connect Grok Bot to outside apps like Gmail, ClickUp, and Granola, and there are roughly a couple hundred prebuilt connectors in the marketplace to search through.
  • You don't have to leave the chat to add a plugin: telling the agent 'connect to my Google Calendar' triggers the authorization flow itself, you just click to approve.
06Use Case 1: Inbox Agent (Morning Routine)
  • A routine scheduled for 8am scrapes both a personal inbox and a sponsorship inbox and returns the three things that need attention that day.
  • The main agent doesn't scrape the inbox itself, it delegates to a dedicated email agent and reports back, which keeps each agent's job narrow.
07Multiple Gmail Accounts
  • Grok Bot supports adding more than one account per plugin, so two separate Gmail inboxes can sit under the same connector and be queried together.
  • Asking for 'the last three emails from both of my Gmail accounts' pulls from each inbox in a single response, which the creator says isn't possible in Claude.
08Use Case 2: Meeting Agent (Granola to ClickUp)
  • A 5pm routine pulls that day's Granola meeting notes and auto-creates ClickUp tasks with assignees and due dates, based on the action items Granola already extracted.
  • The agent doesn't just add tasks, it picks which ClickUp board they belong on, routing invoicing items to one board and content items to another without being told which.
  • Granola auto-joins scheduled meetings and produces a transcript plus a bulleted summary, which becomes the structured input the meeting agent reads instead of raw audio.
09Phone Brain Dump to ClickUp
  • Recording an unstructured voice memo into Granola on your phone still gets summarized into the same clean bullet points as a real meeting.
  • The meeting agent's routine can also be run on demand, not just on schedule, so a fresh brain dump gets routed into ClickUp within about thirty seconds of asking.
10Zapier MCP (9,000+ Apps)
  • Zapier MCP extends Grok Bot to roughly 9,000 additional apps that aren't in its native plugin list, including tools like Skool and Beehiiv.
  • Once connected, you can ask an unrelated agent to use the Zapier MCP to pull stats from an app that has no direct Grok Bot plugin.
11Parallel: Faster, Cheaper, More Accurate Research
  • Parallel returns only the specific lines relevant to a query instead of the full pages you'd otherwise have to skim, compared to a librarian handing you a cart of books versus reading them for you.
  • Feeding Grok Bot from a verified, filtered source cuts tokens, speeds up responses, and reduces the chance of factual errors.
12Monitor Any Webpage
  • Parallel's monitor feature can watch a webpage, like a competitor's pricing page or a crypto price, and only fire a research task when a real change happens.
  • A single instruction ('text me when Bitcoin hits $80,000') is enough for Grok Bot to configure a recurring hourly monitor task without any manual setup screens.
13Use Case 3: Scrape X for Content Ideas
  • A content-specific agent can be told to scrape X for the last two days and surface trending AI topics, replacing manual scrolling as a research step.
  • Keeping this task inside a dedicated content bot avoids the time sink of browsing X directly to look for ideas.
14Use Case 4: Invoice Agent
  • An auto-trigger fires the invoicing agent the moment an invoice-related email arrives: it drafts the invoice, sends it, and updates the ClickUp payment tracker.
  • This was the creator's first example of Grok Bot supporting event-based automation, as opposed to the fixed schedules other AI agent platforms have offered.
15Building a New Agent From Scratch
  • A brand-new agent is created just by writing a plain-language brief of what it should do, naming the other agents it works with and the ClickUp board it updates.
  • Uploading one PDF of a past invoice as a style reference is enough for the agent to recreate that exact layout and payment details on every future invoice.
  • Each agent shows a live status icon so you can tell which ones are actively working versus idle, useful once you're running a dozen agents at once.
16Agent Group Chats
  • You can create a group chat between two agents and give one combined instruction that both then execute together.
  • In the demo, the group chat found invoice-related emails, generated the invoices, drafted the reply email with the invoice attached, and updated the ClickUp payment board, all from one instruction.

This might be controversial, but I was completely wrong about Grokbot. I've been using it every single day since it released about twelve days ago, and my view on it has completely flipped. On top of that, it just got 70% cheaper to use today, and you could try it out for free.
So in this video, I'm gonna go over real life ways that I'm using this, what I like about it compared to other AI agents like Claude Cowork, and I'm even gonna give you tactical things that can give it superpowers that most people don't know about. So by the end of this video, you'll understand if Grokbot is right for you.
Let's dive in. Now first of all, we have some great news if you've been wanting to try out Grockbot, but you didn't because it was too expensive. They just made it accessible to some of the cheaper plans.
So let me go over how you could use this right now and how much you need to pay in order to do so. Now here's the important part. I do wanna point out that they're offering a free trial with limited usage for all other users.
So this probably won't get you too far, but it will at least give you the ability to test this out yourself and see what it's capable of. If we take a look at pricing right here, we could be on the Cursor Pro plan for $60 per month. And with this, we get access to Grokbot.
Before today, we would have to pay $200 per month, which is extremely steep for people to go and try this out. So I really do think this price change is gonna make it much more accessible for everyday people to begin using this.
Now if you still don't wanna fork out $60 per month, make sure to stay to the end of this video because I'm gonna go over everything that Groc bot is capable of. So you don't have to guess on whether or not this is gonna be worth it for you or not. Now with pricing out of the way, let's dive into how exactly to use this, where we can use it, what the platform actually looks like, and then we're gonna dive into the agents and use cases that I've personally been using every single day for the last ten to twelve days.
So first of all, you can go ahead and download this. I'm gonna add a link in the description. You could download this for your Mac operating system as well as you could download this on your phone, which is my personal favorite way to interact with this.
Now once you download this onto your desktop and you open it up, this is what you're going to see. Well, I guess you won't see all this because I have ton of different agents I've configured. Let me break down exactly how this works.
So one thing that is fundamentally different between this and something like Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, and all these different AI agents that we've used in the past is that we have multiple different agents that are basically just chat threads that we can interact with. As you could see, I have a health agent up top.
I have my main agent. I have a brand partnerships agent, content bot, short form, inbox triage, investment agent. I basically have probably at this point, like, 12 different agents that I'm running every single day.
And if I click on one of these agents, you could see all of the previous conversations that we've had with it, which I personally like. It makes it very organized. So when I wanna go and do anything email related, all I have to do is go to my email agent, and I could see everything from previous conversations.
Now one thing I do wanna point out is as at the top, you can see I have all of my demo agents. These are the same exact agents that I've configured that I run for myself personally, but I told these agents to use different names for clients and different price numbers. So all of this is real information, but it's not the actual clients and the price because I didn't wanna show this for confidential reasons.
And to be honest, it's kind of hard to show how I'm using GrockBot when it has all this confidential information. So think of these demos as the exact same process that I use, but not with my real information. One thing I wanna point out is not only can we have specific conversations with each of these different Grok bots, but they can speak with each other.
So if I pull up my main agent right here, you could see it's messaging with two other separate agents, which is pretty cool. I didn't even have to go and prompt it to do so. It just knows whenever there is something brand partnerships related, it will go and text that agent and the same thing for my email agent.
If I ever wanna see what they're saying back and forth with each other, I could just click on this, and I'm gonna click on email agent. And, I mean, take a look at this. Our main agent gave a brain dump on basically everything that I want accomplished.
From there, my email agent understands this goal and is able to go and pull all this relevant information for me and then feed it back to the main agent. Then inside of my main conversation here with the main agent, it breaks all this down as you could see right here. So this is a fundamentally different way that we interact with AI that I'm actually really starting to love.
Now next up, what I wanna talk about is plug ins because this is how I'm able to access things like ClickUp or Gmail or Granola and look at all my meeting notes and all those different things. And this is where it could get really powerful when we connect it to the different applications that we're using on a day to day basis.
So if I come over here on the left hand side, you could see this little button that says plug ins. So I'm gonna click on this. I have a couple that I've already preconfigured.
You could go through and search through this entire list and add some of the different apps you use. I think right now, there's maybe, like, a couple 100 prebuilt in connectors that you could go ahead and sort through. Now the best part about the plugins is we don't even necessarily need to go and configure these ourselves.
We could just come into our chat and simply just say, hey. I want you to connect to my Google Calendar. Can you do it for me?
And Groklot is really good at doing the entire process end to end. All we have to do is authorize the account, which it'll populate with this little card here for us to click on, and it'll just do it for us automatically. Now let's talk about use case number one that I've been using Grokbat for, and that is to help me with my email inbox.
And this has been a game changer for me personally. Basically, I configured my main agent to add a routine, which is basically a scheduled task that could run at any given time. And so every morning at 8AM, it automatically goes and scrapes not only my personal email inbox, but also my sponsorship email as well since we can connect multiple different Gmail accounts to our agents.
And then it basically just gives me the three things that I need to focus on today. If there's a specific contract that needs to get signed or if there's an invoice that needs to be generated, then the agent will update me with that. But a key thing that I wanna note here is I'm interacting with the main agent, but this is communicating on my behalf with the email agent right here.
So if I wanna open this up and see kind of what they're talking about, our main agent just says, hey. Let's run our scheduled task for the morning inbox check. And then the email agent goes and pulls all this information.
And then my main one comes back with all the three things that I need to focus on and do today. Now in order to set up a routine like this, it's very simple. Either you could come over to the top right, like you could see right here with this little computer, and then we have routines that we could preconfigure right here.
All you have do is click add. You could give it a name, instruction, and you could click the trigger, like, basically, when you want this to run, or you could just come into the chat conversation and say, hey. I want you to run this task at this given time and this given day, and it will set that up for you automatically.
Now one thing I have been really loving about using Grokbot is the fact that we can add multiple accounts to each of the different apps that we connect. So if you do wanna add multiple email inboxes, I'm gonna show you exactly how to do that right now because I get tons of people asking how you could do this inside of Claude, and it's simply just not possible.
This solves a major issue for people that are juggling multiple different email inboxes at So if I click on the Gmail plugin, I have two different accounts. I have my default account and my sponsorship email account added. And all I have to do is add another account here.
Give it a name. I'm just gonna call this test or something. Click authorize.
And then what it's gonna do is it's gonna pull up your Gmail, and all you have to do is just authorize that account, and it takes one click to do so. Then if I come into my email agent, I could just say, hey. Can you give me the last three emails from both of my Gmail accounts, please?
And just like that, we get this response. It pulled from my personal account as well as my other inbox. And, this has been incredibly helpful for helping me manage multiple inboxes at once, which we weren't able to do with other AI tools like Claude, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, etcetera.
Now this next use case is one that's been really helpful in my life, both personally but on a business side, and this is my meeting agent. So let me quickly break down the flow of this right now before showing you a demo. So at the end of every single day, I have a routine that fires at 5PM.
It will then automatically pull all of my granola meeting notes, which if you don't know what granola is, it's basically an AI notetaker where it automatically joins all of my meetings, gives all the action items from those meetings. And then inside of the meeting agent, it will automatically add those action items into ClickUp and assign the due dates as well as the team member that needs to complete these tasks for me.
So for example, I have this school community board inside of ClickUp, and literally all I did is have a conversation with Granolah and give a brain dump on all the things that I need to do inside of my school community, and then it automatically added all of this to my to do list as well as it dragged these specific tasks into the in progress tab as well.
Now first of all, if you wanna sign up for Granolah, there is a link in the description. You could download this for your desktop as well as on your phone. And then once you have this downloaded, you're gonna see this interface here.
So I personally have all these different meetings coming up, which Granolah is automatically going to join without me needing to, like, tell it to go and join these meetings. And then here are all the different notes that I have. These are a mix of different meetings that I had with team members for my business, but also just, like, notes that I had.
So, like, yesterday, I went on a run, and I basically broke down in a voice note for about five minutes everything that I need to do and prioritize over the next week before I go on this trip. Now if I go and click on one of these notes, you would see that it automatically took the transcript and then summarized it and then added these bullet points right here that makes it really easy for not only me to understand what this meeting was about, but also for my AI agents to understand as well.
Now the best part about the meeting agent and Granolah combined together is I have this scheduled task where every single day at 5PM, it's automatically gonna go and pull all the meetings that I had inside of Granola. And then what it's gonna do is it's actually gonna add these to a specific board inside of ClickUp in order for me to track what's going on inside of my business.
So as you could see, it automatically added these things to this specific board inside of ClickUp. And one thing I wanna note is not only does it add it to the board, but it picks which board to add it to. Because, for example, I have Loom campaigns, which is for my agency.
I have my invoices and my payments, and I even have a GrockBot task tracker here. So there's multiple different boards that it can add to, but it knows specifically which one to go and add these tasks to. And notice that I said that this is in progress confirming YouTube shorts metadata in workflow inside of MetraCool.
So whenever me and my business partner are on a meeting or something, it'll automatically, like, move these to whatever process this is in for our business. Now let me show you how I could use granola on my phone and basically just give it a brain dump, and then it will automatically use my meeting agent to then route this to ClickUp.
Right here, I'm just gonna come and click add a new note. Hey. So I'm working on a couple of things right now, um, that are kinda top of mind.
So first of all, I'm finishing up this Grokbob video, so I need to confirm the packaging. I need to then generate the thumbnail for this video. On top of that, I need to confirm that my flight is rebooked to Lisbon because that flight is in a couple of days.
Also, can you add a note to make sure that I don't forget my passport before going to the airport? So as you could see, I just simply recorded what I was talking about. You could let this thing run for, like, thirty minutes and give it a brain dump if you want.
And then what it's gonna do is it's gonna generate a TLDR breakdown of what it is that we talked about. So just like that, there's those bullet points right here. I could also access this on my computer as well since it syncs up with my desktop.
Now if I come into my meeting agent inside of Grokbot and I click on this computer up here and I click on the routine, I could just test run this right now. So what it's gonna do is it's gonna scrape granola via the connector that I gave it, and then it's gonna give me the action items and add these to ClickUp for me. And so, like, thirty seconds later, it then scraped this new note that we just took.
It found my YouTube video board and added this right here that I need to confirm Grok bot video packaging and thumbnail generation. As well as inside of my Loom board, it said pack passport before leaving for Lisbon. Now let's say you scroll through this entire plug in marketplace and you don't see an app that you wanna use that you wanna integrate your agent with.
Well, you can use something called the Zapier MCP, which allows you to connect to 9,000 plus different apps, and it's really easy to set up. So that way you can work across more applications than just the ones that GrokBot allows you to. For example, I have this MCP server configured right here, which has about, like, 25 different applications that I can use.
For example, there's some apps in here that I cannot connect to directly inside of Grok. So I cannot connect to school, which is where I have my entire community, as well as Beehive is another big one, which is where I run my email newsletter. So if I wanna be able to perform actions inside of Beehive with my agents that I configure inside of Groc bot, I actually have to be using Zapier MCP since it's not accessible in this list right here.
Now this is very simple to set up. First of all, you just need to have a Zapier account. You could sign up with the link in the description, and then you're gonna come into your plug in marketplace and then simply just look up Zapier and then click on this add button.
It's gonna ask you to authorize your account from inside of Zapier, and then it will show that it's added right here. And in order to test this out, let me just come into my inbox agent and say, hey. I want you to use the Zapier MCP to pull different stats from my Beehive campaigns so I could understand how many people I have on my newsletter.
And here we go. I went and pulled from Beehive using the Zapier MCP. It shows the newsletter size.
It shows my open rate as well as the average click rate. The cool part is I could even have it go and perform actions inside of Beehive for me since it's now connected. Now GrockBot or any AI agent for that matter is only as good as the data that we feed it.
So if we're trying to scrape data from the Internet, we want it to be efficient, fast, and verified from sources. Well, I'm gonna show you a simple plugin that you can add to GrockBot so that way you never have to worry about whether or not you're getting the right information inside of GrockBot.
Alright. I want you to think about it like this. A normal search with a tool like GrockBot is basically like a librarian handing you a cart full of books.
You personally still have to read all these books yourself. Well, if we use a tool like Parallel to read the books, it will then just hand you the three or four different lines that actually matter instead of us needing to go and source through all this information ourselves. So this does three different things for Grokbot.
One, it's faster. We don't need to have Grokbot go and click through these different pages. Two, it uses fewer tokens, so our Grok plan lasts us longer.
And three, it's just more accurate. Since our agent is working from the actual source material, it just makes all of our answers inside of GrockBot more accurate. Not only that, but if you plug in parallel to your GrockBot, you could just have confidence that it's gonna be able to go and scrape whatever it is that you want.
Now another way that parallel can be extremely useful when you tie it with Grock Bot is having it go and monitor a specific web page. So for example, let's say you have a competitor and you wanna track their pricing. You can have it go monitor that website, and when there is a new change to the pricing, it'll automatically run a deep research task inside of Parallel, and then you could have Grock Bot text you the final information.
And that's just one use case. There's plenty of other ones you could do in order to monitor specific web pages on there. Now in order to give you an example of how this deep research with parallel works inside of Grock bot, I wanna show you the output that it gets when it does a deep research task for us.
So for example, it shows right here, give a history on open web, very simple prompt. And what it did is it gave this research document back. And this is what the human can view.
This is, all the data that extracts and shows it in this interface for a human. But what we wanna focus on is if I click on machine here, this is what our agent is then fed, and this is a more efficient way for our agent to store data in order for us to interact with it. Now let me show this in action.
So what I did is I basically came to my agent and said, want you to use Parallel in order to monitor the price of Bitcoin. Once it hits $80,000, I want you to message me directly here inside of this agent.
So what it did is it went ahead and set this up inside of Parallel. I didn't even have to see any of the work that it was doing. But if I open up my Parallel account and I click on monitor, you can now see that we have this query right here.
So it's gonna use this monitor task in order to track the price of Bitcoin on CoinGecko or coinmarketcap.com. This is running every single hour. And when it hits that price of $80,000 or if it ever does, it's then gonna text me through my agent.
And this is just one simple use case that you could use when using Parallel, but it's really powerful when you combine it with GrockBot or any of the agents that you're using. And it's super simple to set up, so let me show you how to set it up right now. First of all, you're gonna wanna sign up with an account.
If you don't have an account, there is a link in the description to sign up. And then all we need to do is come into Grock Bot, and either you could just chat with the agent and say, hey. I want you to connect parallel to our account, or we could come over to plug in here and then simply search up parallel.
I already have mine added, but let me show you how to install it if you don't already have it installed. Now it's as simple as clicking this add button here. It's then gonna have you authorize your account in the account that you just set up.
And then just like that, we are all set. Now this next use case is one specific to me and the type of content that I make, but the main point of this is that we could use Grockbot in order to scrape x for content ideas or just trending things going on in the AI space. So we could almost use Grockbot to filter out different things that are going on, whether that's inside of our industry, inside of AI, your specific industry, etcetera.
So for example, I just gave it this very basic prompt inside of my content bot and said scrape x over the last two days and find trending things in the AI space that would be good for content ideas. Then since it directly connects to Twitter or they call it X now, it automatically will go and find all the things trending.
So that way, I don't need to spend my time scrolling on X, wasting time because it could just suck me in and eats up all of my productivity. Now in order to set this up, you're gonna come over to plug ins right here, and then you could simply just search for x. And it's as simple as just clicking authorize, and it will set this up for you.
Or you could just come to chat and say, hey. I want you to add x so you could pull all the posts from there. Now this next use case is one that I'm personally gonna be using quite a bit, and I've really been loving playing around with this over the last day, and that is my invoice agent.
And not only am I just gonna use this invoice agent, but this is gonna be paired with my inbox agent that I just showed you earlier on in the video. Now let me quickly break down exactly how this is gonna work. So I have my invoicing agent, and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set an auto trigger, which is one of the coolest parts of GrokBot, which I'm gonna explain in a little bit.
And what this means is whenever an invoice email arrives, it's automatically gonna flag this automation where it's gonna then draft a invoice in my style, send the email to this client, And then on top of that, it's gonna track this in ClickUp so I could see exactly what stage my payments are in inside of ClickUp, as well as my entire team can view that as well.
Now let me show you exactly how to set this up because it's really easy to create a new bot or an agent inside of Grok bot. So I'm just gonna click on create new, and all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna come down to message bot and just give it a brain dump. Alright.
So here's the prompt that I'm gonna give it. I basically said, create an invoice agent that does these tasks. Works with the inbox triage agent to scrape my emails, keeps track of all invoices and owed payments, generates invoices for me in a specific style, and then tracks the status of all invoices inside of my ClickUp board called invoices and payments.
Then next, what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna upload a PDF example of what I want this invoice to look like. So that way, it always recreates it in this style with all of my payment information so I never need to basically generate an invoice myself again. So here is an example right here of an invoice that I wanted to recreate.
I really like this style. And now when I upload this as a reference, it's always gonna look exactly like this. So what I'm gonna do now is simply just send this off to my agent.
And now as you could see, it's going and crafting this invoice style as well as just setting up this entire agent. One thing that you'll notice is we have this little green icon. So each of our bots or agents we have basically have their own icon.
And whenever it's moving like this, you would see on the left hand side, this basically just means that it's working in real time. If it is stagnant like some of these ones right here, that means that it's not performing any tasks. I think this is really cool to kinda just see which of the agents are working at any given time.
Alright. So just a few minutes later, it actually went ahead, generated this invoice in the exact style. This is great.
We can go ahead and download this directly onto our computer. Let me just go ahead and download that. And then now it's basically saying that this is done.
Say the word when you wanna generate the next invoice or want me to pull what's owed from ClickUp. So since this is already connected to ClickUp, it's able to go and pull the other invoices that I've either sent or generated so I could see basically what needs to be paid and what has been paid.
Now this is really cool. We obviously have an agent that has a specific style of invoices that it's able to generate, but where this gets really interesting is when we come over here to create a routine. This is where we could either have this run on a schedule where every single day, this invoice agent will go and scrape from my email inbox and then identify what invoices we need to generate.
But, also, I could click on create invoice, and we can add a specific trigger. So what I mean by this is we could basically connect this to a Slack channel. So whenever there is a message related to invoices, it will automatically trigger this agent, which is the first time we've kind of seen this from these AI agent platforms.
Before, we could do scheduled tasks and whatnot in Cloud Cowork, but we didn't really have the option to allow automations to kick off from a specific trigger or event that's happening inside of our apps. Now I wanna show you something really cool. Now if I come over to my inbox triage agent, you can see there is this conversation happening between the inbox agent and the invoice agent.
And I didn't even have to go and tell it to go and do this. I just automatically knew intuitively that it needed to communicate with other agent in order to get this done.
So invoice agent said, hey. Brock set me up as the agent. Please hand me anything invoice or payment related from our email triage.
So I basically broke down everything that it needs to flag for us, and then the inbox triage agent went and pulled through my email and found the specific things that I need to, you know, understand and be up to date with. Alright. So what I'm gonna do now is create a group chat with the invoice agent in my inbox agent.
And what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna give it a brain dump. Let's say, hey. I want you to go and check my emails from the past day.
Find any email that is invoice related. If there are specific invoices that we need to create, use the invoice agent in order to generate the invoices, then I want you to draft the reply with the invoice in the email as well as I want you to then add these to ClickUp in order to track the process and the status of all these different payments.
Now to show you real quickly inside of my email inbox, I went ahead and drafted three different emails as demos because I don't wanna show, like, actual invoices that I need to create just for confidential reasons. What it did is it pulled from my email inbox. And now you could see basically all of the invoices that we need to generate right here.
So what it's gonna do is now generate the invoices, create the draft reply for the email so I could just go and send it myself, and it's then gonna update this inside of ClickUp so I could see the status of all these. Alright. And just like that, we now have these emails drafted.
So for example, if I click on this one, you could see that it added this reply email as well as even attached the specific invoice, and I could go ahead and pull this up right here in the exact style that we fed it. As well as if I come into my invoice and payments board inside of ClickUp, we can now see that all of these invoices have been submitted.
As well as if I click on this, it shows the client information here, shows the email thread, and now me and my team can see exactly where we're at in the invoicing process. So, guys, there we have it. That is GrokBot, how it works, a bunch of different use cases that you can use, and it is now available for free for you to try out, or you could have access to it on the $60 per month plan.
Like I said, I've been using this every single day since this has released, and it's completely changed how I've been using AI. I've almost completely switched from using Cloud Cowork to now just texting Grockbot on my phone all throughout the day in order to get different tasks done with my different agents I've configured.
And it's really powerful if you connect it to the specific apps you work across. So if you guys got some value from this video, leave a like, subscribe to this channel, and let me know what you think of GrokBot. And if you want more videos like this, just make sure to subscribe.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

The creator opens by reversing his own stance: after using Grok Bot daily since launch, and after its plan dropped from $200 to $60 a month, he now runs a chunk of his admin work through it instead of Claude Cowork.
