Grok Bot Slack prompts that draft, then wait
Read channels, map them to priorities, draft replies. Connecting multiple workspaces is not the same as installing Grok Bot as a Slack app. Broad "every message" triggers burn usage.
In short: This page contains 21 copy-paste ready prompts, organized into 5 categories with a description and pro tip for each. The first 5 prompts are free instantly, no signup needed. Hand-curated and tested by the AI Academy team.
Digests
4 promptsPriority-mapped Slack digest
1/21โจ What it does
The Bot reads only [CHANNELS] since yesterday and keeps the items that map to [PRIORITIES DOC]. You reply; it does not post or react.
You are a Grok Bot on my shared cloud computer (browser, files, terminal). This is a standing job, not a grok.com chat. Outcome: Since yesterday, only Slack items in [CHANNELS] that map to [PRIORITIES DOC]. Sources: [CHANNELS], [PRIORITIES]. Constraints: - Do not send messages, enroll anyone, make payments, delete records, or change production settings. - If a login, 2FA, passkey, or CAPTCHA appears, ask me to take over the computer. Never ask me to paste a password or API key into chat. - If a source is missing or stale, say so. Do not invent numbers or contacts. - Do not post in Slack. Do not react to messages. Deliverable: Item, permalink, why it matters, whether I owe a reply. Review point: I reply.
Pro tip: Name the channels. "All of Slack" is how you buy a second seat in usage.
Thread I missed
2/21โจ What it does
The Bot summarizes thread [PERMALINK] into decisions, open asks, and who is waiting on you, with quotes. You reply if needed.
