Grok Bot's official templates called a goldmine, and a 5-minute routine costs 12x hourly
elonmusk · x · 2026-10-16
Elon Musk boosted a rundown of the Grok Bot marketplace, where the official team published its own bot templates you can import and adapt: an Eggbot that builds specialist bots on request, an engineer bot supervising cloud coding agents and watching PRs, a Stalk Bot tracking competitor product/pricing/positioning changes with sources, a Haggle Bot auditing wasted SaaS spend and drafting negotiations, a Proto Bot turning feature ideas into draft-PR prototypes, a video editor clipping captioned vertical videos, and more.
A cited companion article also runs the numbers: a 5-minute Grok Bot routine wakes 8,640 times a month, costing roughly $400 in compute at Grok 4.6 API rates versus $33 hourly for the identical bot, model and prompt — scheduling frequency alone drives a 12x cost gap.
