Grok Bot now handles most of my day-to-day admin. I still use Claude for structured work like a detailed estimate, where I want tested skills and control over the output. For the small random jobs, Grok Bot is simpler because it writes its own skills, keeps its own memory and sets up its own scheduled tasks. All you manage is the bots.
Two rules get the most out of it. First, if you're not sure it can do something, ask it. When it told me it couldn't connect to SharePoint, I asked for a workaround and it found one. Second, give every bot one clear goal. A bot doing ten different jobs gets its memory muddled.
Start by telling it about your business and connecting your software. Use an MCP or API connection where one exists, and a browser login as the slower fallback. Give anything sensitive read-only or draft-only access.
- Business development: finds tenders and gives a go/no-go recommendation
- Pre-construction: tracks bids and follows up submissions
- Commercial manager: protects margin and contract position
- Finance: cash flow and getting paid
- Systems and compliance: insurances, SWMS and paperwork
- Project assistant: one per project, coordinating delivery
A general manager bot can sit on top and hand work to the others.
Which job would you hand to a bot first?
