Teach a bot a workflow by screen recording
Grok Bot learns a task from a screen recording and repeats it; a reviewer taught one to pull newsletter stats without an API.

- What they did
- The post describes Grok Bot’s teach-a-task feature as learning from a single screen recording of someone doing a workflow, then repeating that workflow on its own. The concrete example given is a reviewer who taught it to pull newsletter stats without an API or plugin, and the thread also says Grok Bot can pause for a human to handle login, then resume the task.
- How it went
- The claimed upside was removing much of the work of specifying an automation flow and making no-API workflows possible. The source gives no measured results for the newsletter-stats example, so it does not say how accurate or reliable the repeated task was.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch mentioned is access cost: the post says Grok Bot was bundled into paid plans starting around $120 per seat per month, with higher individual tiers.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
I'm going to share a screen recording of me doing [task, e.g. pulling weekly stats from a dashboard that has no API]. Watch it, write out the steps you learned, and confirm them with me. Then repeat the task and give me the results as [format, e.g. a table or spreadsheet]. Pause before you submit any form or change any data.
