Run knowledge work across multiple Gmail and Slack accounts
A reviewer connected four Gmail accounts and seven Slack workspaces to GrokBot agents for multi-account knowledge work, finding it polished but less hackable than OpenClaw.
- What they did
- Claire Vo used GrokBot, a hosted chat-style agent app. She connected all four of her Gmail accounts and all seven of her Slack workspaces. She then created specialized bots by writing short instructions, and each bot picked the connectors it needed. Examples were a commitment tracker, an invoice and deals chaser, and a product manager bot. Each bot gets its own virtual computer with Chrome, a terminal and files.
- How it went
- Setup was smooth and the multi-account connectors worked well, which she says would alone fit her needs. She found it less hackable than OpenClaw: no model choice, little configuration control, and a bland personality.
- Worth knowing
- You can't choose the underlying model or dig into configuration, so people who want to tune and tinker may prefer OpenClaw or Hermes.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Connect to my Gmail accounts [list of addresses] and Slack workspaces [list of workspace names], and every morning at [time] compile one briefing of anything that needs my reply or decision, grouped by account. Draft replies for the urgent items but don't send any message until I approve it. A finished job is a single briefing message with drafts attached, plus a note on anything you couldn't access.
