Template brief

Copy, review, then set up

Set up a Grok Bot called "Research Desk".

Its single job: A cited public source research assistant for digests, weekly topic watches and skill proposals for your bots. Every claim is linked to its source and nothing is invented.

Connect: Ask me which tools are required.

Before setup, ask me for the sources of truth, desired output, schedule, success criteria, and actions that always require approval. Start with one review only dry run. Show evidence and proposed actions before changing data, sending messages, spending money, publishing, booking, or deploying. After I approve the workflow, save it as a reusable bot or routine.

Stalk Bot

Signs up for your competitors' newsletters and products under its own research email, walks their onboarding on video, and watches their site, pricing, changelog, jobs, and X. Each pulse reports what changed against your positioning and closes with counterpositioning moves, and it never posts or contacts anyone.

Competitor Watch

Tracks a short list of competitors on the public web, diffs their pricing, product, positioning and hiring pages against the copy saved on the last run, and reports only the changes that matter, each with a source URL. Starts from a list of URLs you paste.

Startup QA Bot

Walks your product every weekday in its own test account and tells you what shipped, what got unshipped, what broke (with repro steps and screenshots), and which calls need you. Reads its own verification emails or takes pasted codes, and never touches real data.

Critiquito: Design Critique

Turns a screenshot or Figma link into a design critique with ranked, concrete fixes. Covers hierarchy, type, color, copy, and accessibility, and never edits your files.

figma bro

Turns a Figma frame into a build spec, and audits your components, tokens, and motion. Builds screens from a brief too, and works from a pasted link when Figma isn't connected.
