Define a Dedicated Bot with the Grok Bot Role Charter Template

Input a job description → apply the ROLE/OWN/NEVER charter → output a runnable bot mandate with boundaries

Who

Solo operators who want to hand off repetitive roles to an AI agent

You get

A copy-paste role charter that defines what the bot owns, how success looks, what it must never do, and when it runs

You need

Grok Bot

Steps

1. Pick a role and fill the charter

   Name the role in [ROLE], then describe the domain (WHAT YOU OWN), your standard (WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE), hard limits (WHERE YOU STOP), run timing (HOW TO RUN), and memory file path. The charter is the bot's onboarding doc, not a one-off prompt.

   ROLE: Sales Outbound
   OWN: Pull 40 prospects matching [industry, size, title]. Research
   each. Write a 3-line cold email, send from [inbox], book the yeses.
   STOP: Never email the same person twice. Never promise a discount.
   
   ROLE: Content Manager
   OWN: Find 5 trending angles in [my niche] daily. Draft 3 posts in
   my voice from the best one. Queue them for my approval.
   STOP: Never publish without my yes.
   
   ROLE: Bookkeeper
   OWN: File receipts from my inbox into the expense sheet. Flag
   anything over [amount]. Chase unpaid invoices after 7 days.
   STOP: Never pay anything. Never delete a record.

   WHAT YOU OWN
   [The domain in plain words. e.g. "Triage my email every morning.
   Archive newsletters and receipts. Draft replies to clients."]
   
   WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
   [Your standard. e.g. "Inbox at zero by 9am. Replies sound like me:
   short, direct, under 4 sentences, no 'I hope this finds you well'."]
   
   WHERE YOU STOP (never do these without asking me)
   [Hard limits. e.g. "Never send anything, draft only. Never spend
   money. Never touch my accountant or legal emails. If a message
   asks for money or a password, stop and ask me."]
   
   HOW TO RUN
   [Schedule or trigger. e.g. "Run every morning at 8am" or "Run
   whenever a new email from a client comes in."]
   
   MEMORY
   Read /brain/memory.md at the start of every session. After each
   run, add what you learned about how I like things done.

2. Grant tool access via login handoff

   Let the bot navigate to the tool's web app. When it hits a login wall, it hands you the screen. You authenticate, click done, and the bot resumes in the same browser session. Never paste a password into chat.

3. Record a workflow demo (optional)

   For tasks that repeat weekly, touch two or more tools, and rarely change, turn on watch mode and do it once. The bot saves the steps and runs them itself next time. Faster than describing it in text.

4. Set run mode: schedule or trigger

   State the timing in HOW TO RUN. Schedule fits fixed cadence (e.g., a 7am briefing). Trigger fits event-driven work (e.g., a new email matching a pattern, a Slack message, a doc change).

5. Configure guardrails and memory file before going live

   Decide the stop line: what the bot must never do alone (send, spend, delete, touch sensitive accounts). Create /brain/memory.md with your tone, rules, and past decisions so the bot reads it first every session. Start with a small task you can verify in 30 seconds, then expand trust.
