How to choose a Grok Bot template

Short answer: Choose a Grok Bot template in four checks. Pick the category that matches the job; check whether the author is named; review which integrations it needs and whether it runs on a schedule; then run through a safety checklist before adding it. The official advice is to evaluate templates like software and make sure everything is what you expect before installing. (Source: x.ai template guide)

Four checks for choosing a template

1. Pick a category by job. The docs recommend one clear job per Bot (docs), so decide what you need first. Bests.one groups 246 public templates into 13 categories; start from the category index, where each page lists counts and examples.
2. Check the author. Every template page names the author, or shows “Not disclosed” when we could not find one. Open an author to see everything they share.
3. Review permissions: integrations and routines. A public template preview shows the Bot’s identity, description, skills and routines (docs). Routines decide when the Bot runs on its own (FAQ). When you add it, the app lists the context and integrations it brings. Accept only what fits the job; services you don’t use are a sign it isn’t for you.
4. Run the safety checks. Templates are made by third-party users, and adding one accepts the third-party Bot terms (docs). See the template safety checklist for what to check before and after.

Find a collection by job

Categories cover every template; collections pick a small set by main job, which helps if you already know what you need. Each collection page explains its selection rule, who it suits and how to choose, and lists templates by name without ranking. All collections are in the collection index:

• Handling information: to sort email and draft replies, see “Email”; for one daily digest, see “Daily briefing”; to hear only when something changes, see “Monitoring & alerts”.
• Calendar and people: for meeting prep and follow-up, see “Meetings & calendar”; for hiring or job hunting, see “Recruiting & job search”.
• Growth and sales: for finding customers and moving deals, see “Sales & CRM”; for writing and reading on X, see “X (Twitter) growth”.
• Content and code: for images and short videos, see “Image & video creation”; for directing coding agents or reviewing PRs, see “Coding agents & code review”.

A template can appear in more than one collection, for example one that does both account research and sales follow-up. Bests.one does not build collections for health, investment or legal templates.

Individual or Team templates

The x.ai Marketplace marks some templates as Team (“From Grok Bot Team”). Bests.one goes by that label and lists them in the From the Grok Bot Team collection. For the rest, the publisher is not marked as the Grok Bot Team or we cannot confirm it; most are shared by individual users.

• The Team label only tells you who published a template, not whether it fits you. Pick by job first, then compare summaries, integrations and routines.
• Going by the collection pages, Team templates are mostly for work, such as sales, recruiting, marketing, meetings and engineering. For household and personal tasks, use the collections by job above.
• Either way, each template page shows its publisher label. Run the usual safety checks before adding one.

Other things to weigh

• Setup you’ll do yourself. Per the x.ai guide, first-party plugins must be reinstalled, and MCP servers or custom scripts are not included (x.ai guide). Templates that rely on them take more setup.
• Is the link still live? Each Bests.one template page shows when its link was last verified, and flags templates whose link stopped working.
• You can adjust it. You get your own copy and can edit its name and description, including lasting limits (docs). Full steps: how to add a template.

FAQ

Several templates do the same job. Which one?

Bests.one does not rank or score templates. Compare summaries, required integrations and routines, and pick the one that needs the fewest connections and fits your job most closely.

Can I use a template whose author is “Not disclosed”?

“Not disclosed” only means we could not find the author in public sources; it says nothing about quality. Review the preview and integrations as usual.
