eric zakariasson showed how to teach Grok Bot a task — hit +, record the browser, the Bot does it again
On 13 Aug 2026 eric zakariasson (@ericzakariasson) posted a short how-to: hit + in the chat, record yourself doing the job in the browser, and the Bot watches so it can do it again. He says most tasks it can finish by itself — use this when it is struggling.
Based on a public example shared by @ericzakariasson on X.
This is a feature walkthrough with a clip, not a named customer screenshot. His bio says he is tinkering at SpaceXAI; the post is still his personal account, so we keep the community badge.
Why it's useful
When the Bot keeps missing a click path, showing it once is faster than rewriting the prompt.
Who should try it
People whose Bot keeps missing a path
Operators teaching a routine
Non-engineers

On 19 Aug 2026 Elon quote-tweeted Mike P (@mikepat711): Grok Bot was walking two Gmail accounts — about 90,000 emails — and deleting junk Mike had never dared to touch. Elon’s line was the product tip: “Clear your email with @Grok @Bot.”
Nate Herk published “A Week of Grok Bot Lessons in 10 Mins” on X: nine hacks for turning a default Bot into a team. Elon quote-tweeted it the same morning and asked people what Bots they run.
Blake accepted a public challenge, skipped OpenClaw, and in two nights: linked email, had a Bot build a 12-page household budget PowerPoint, stood up a team for his wife’s business, and started daily Tesla news recaps.
