Teach a bot to use your business software while you're out on the job

⏱️ 1-2 hours, then a few minutes a day · 🎯 Medium · 💵 Your Grok Bot plan

🧰 Before you start

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

  1. ☐
    1. Create a bot for your software

    In Grok Bot, create a new bot and give it a name (the source owner called his 'Manny'). Tell it this bot only looks after your business software.

  2. ☐
    2. Sign it in once

    Ask the bot to open your software in its browser. Log in yourself when it asks (use a staff login, not the owner login, if your software allows).

  3. ☐
    3. Show it one job

    Walk it through one task step by step, e.g. creating an invoice. Ask it to write the steps down as a saved skill (a reusable recipe) so it can repeat them.

  4. ☐
    4. Repeat for your top jobs

    Teach it each of your 3-5 common jobs the same way, one at a time.

  5. ☐
    5. Set your safety rule

    Tell it: 'Always show me the customer, amount and line items and wait for my OK before sending anything to a customer.' The source doesn't mention a check, so add your own.

  6. ☐
    6. Use it from your phone

    Between jobs, message the bot in the Grok Bot app: 'Create an invoice for [customer], [service], [date].' Check the preview and reply 'send'.

  7. ☐
    7. Optional: review weeklyOptional extra

    Once a week ask it for a list of everything it did in the software, and correct anything that looks wrong.

💬 Prompts to copy

💬 Teach the bot a job
You are [bot name], my assistant for [software name] at [web address]. I'm going to show you how to [task, e.g. create and send an invoice]. Watch each step, then write it down as a saved skill called '[task name]'. Note which fields are required and what to do if something is missing. Never delete records. Ask me whenever you're not sure.
💬 Daily job from the road
Please [create an invoice / make a booking / move a job] in [software] for [customer name]: [service], [date], [price or 'use the price list']. Show me the customer, amount and line items, and wait for my 'send' before anything goes to the customer. Flag any missing or changed billing details.
