A reliable delegation prompt
Act as my operations research teammate.
Objective: Produce a weekly competitor brief by 9:00 AM Monday.
Sources: Use only the websites, X accounts, inbox label and shared folder I provide.
Deliverable: A one-page summary with five material changes, source links, confidence notes and three recommended follow-ups.
Autonomy: You may browse, read, organize and draft without asking.
Approval required: Ask before sending messages, publishing, changing account settings, purchasing anything or deleting files.
Definition of done: The brief is saved in the shared folder and a review link is returned to me.
If evidence conflicts, show both sources and do not guess.
Why this prompt works
It defines the job, sources, output, autonomy and stop conditions. Grok Bot can plan the route without having to infer your risk tolerance.
Support triage prompt
Review new support tickets from the last 24 hours. Classify each by product area, urgency and customer impact. Draft a response using our approved tone guide, but do not send anything. Escalate security, billing and data-loss issues into a separate review list with source links.
Routine-learning prompt
Follow along while I complete this weekly report. Record the sources, sequence, calculations, exception rules and final checks. At the end, show me the routine you learned and ask me to approve it before scheduling any future run.
Multi-Bot handoff prompt
Research Bot: collect verified evidence and source links.
Analysis Bot: identify changes, risks and unanswered questions.
Comms Bot: draft the final update in our house style.
Chief Bot: check every factual claim against the evidence and return one review package. No Bot may publish or send externally without my approval.
Should a Grok Bot prompt be long?
It should be complete, not long for its own sake. Outcome, context, tools, output and approvals matter most.
Should I give Grok Bot passwords in a prompt?
No. Use the product's sign-in flow and your organization's credential practices rather than pasting secrets into instructions.
How do I make Grok Bot ask for approval?
Name the exact action categories that require approval and repeat them in the definition of done.
