How to add a Grok Bot template

Adding someone else's template takes about a minute. Here is the official flow, step by step.

Open the template's public share link on x.ai (it looks like x.ai/bot/...). Every listing on Grok Bot Index links to it.
Read the preview, then choose Add to Grok Bot. This accepts the third-party bot terms for templates made by other users.
Finish in the Grok Bot app. It shows the template's context and integrations so you can check them, then choose Add Bot.
You now have your own independent copy. Reinstall any plugins it asks for and give it any API keys or setup it needs.

Good to know

Shared templates are made by other users. Adding one accepts the third-party bot terms, so read the preview first.
Public templates show their identity, description, skills and routines on the x.ai preview page.

Do I need the Grok Bot app to add a template?

Yes. The official docs say the recipient opens the preview on x.ai and needs the Grok Bot app to finish adding it.

Does adding a template give me the creator's data?

No. The docs say adding a shared Bot creates a copy on your account and does not give you the creator's computer, logins or conversation history.

Why does my copy need setup?

A template is a recipe, not a clone. The official guide says plugins may need reinstalling, and custom MCP servers, scripts or code are not included.

Why can't I open some template links?

A Team-only link opens only for members of that team. Public links open for anyone.
