SpaceX AI employee shares Grok Bot optimization tips: self-check, explicit goals, and structured output
elonmusk · x · 2026-08-22
A SpaceX AI employee shared specific techniques to optimize Grok Bot performance: 1. Add a self-check pass: Ask the agent to verify its output against original instructions before finalizing. 2. Define "DONE" explicitly: Avoid vague prompts like "manage expenses"; specify exact output formats. 3. Force structured output: Request JSON or fixed tables for verifiability. 4. Scope tool access per task: Limit agent permissions to the specific task rather than global access.
