This 5-question interview prompt makes Grok design your first two custom bots in minutes
nateliason · x · 2026-10-30
- The trick: instead of configuring bots yourself, have Grok interview you with one fixed prompt — one question at a time, five max — covering what you do, daily tools, time sinks, forbidden actions, and preferred contact times.
- The bot then proposes two custom bots, each with a specific job, required tools, a scheduled routine, and a strict "never do" line, plus a walkthrough of the first run before building anything.
- Nateliason endorses the approach; the full guide extends the setup to a whole team of bots.
