Grok Bot Launches Primary Bot: It Suggests Work Before You Ask and Delegates Tasks to Other Bots

Key takeaways

  1. 1Primary Bot looks through your work, finds tasks it can take over, and suggests them first. The suggestions don't count toward usage.
  2. 2You can create a new Bot or designate an existing one as Primary, and in the Chief of Staff example it delegates to several specialist Bots and gathers the results.
  3. 3Grok Bot is available on Cursor and SuperGrok plans and Enterprise plans, in desktop apps for macOS and Windows and an iOS app.
iPhone notification from Grok Bot's Chief of Staff saying three events overlap at 2 p.m. and asking whether to reschedule

AI agents now go looking for work before you ask. Grok Bot has added a Primary Bot feature. As it looks through your work, when it finds something it can handle, it first offers "Want me to take care of this for you?", and it also acts as a manager that hands the right tasks to other Bots. The suggestions themselves don't count toward your usage.

The official Grok Bot account announced the feature with a video at 02:35 KST on October 2.

How Primary Bot makes suggestions first

The official video opens on an iPhone lock screen and Notification Center showing an alert from a Chief of Staff bot. It reads, "It looks like you've tripled-booked your 2pm. Want me to reschedule?" The bot spots the overlapping events and offers to fix them before the user asks for any help with their calendar.

Primary Bot looks for work it can take off your plate and offers to handle it. The feature rolls out over several hours after the announcement, and suggestions don't count toward usage.

Setting up Primary Bot and delegating to other bots

Once the feature rolls out, a prompt asks you to create a new Primary Bot or choose one of the Bots you already use as Primary. For example, you can designate a Chief of Staff bot as your lead Bot and put several specialist Bots under it.

Melvin Vivas, an AI developer in Singapore, shared an example of using Chief of Staff as Primary to manage his team's other bots. On the left of the screen, the bots are grouped by team: Business, Tech, Finance, Product, and Marketing. When he asked it to "give me a round up from all bots," Chief of Staff gathered the status of every bot and sorted them into bots that were busy today, bots waiting for their next instruction, and bots that were quiet.

When he says, "Have ML check the new models this week," it passes the task to the ML bot and notifies him when the result comes back. It hands work to the X Researcher bot the same way. Vivas explains that he now has much less need to check each bot individually.

  1. October 2, 02:35: Primary Bot started finding things to help with and suggesting them without waiting for the user's request.

Until now AI moved only after a person gave a command. The direction is shifting toward AI that looks at the situation, finds the work, and suggests it first.
