# Build your team

Unofficial. Not from xAI.

Start with 1, grow to 3. The official advice: the smallest team that works.

1. Give one bot one job. It owns the whole result, start to finish.
2. Add a second bot. Only when a job keeps coming back and needs its own owner.
3. Add a checker. It reviews the others' work before it reaches you.

Sources: steps 1 and 2 from https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/bots (updated Oct 28, 2026). Step 3: a reviewer bot suggested in an X thread, https://x.com/i/status/2115736529523880177 (Oct 29, 2026).

## Team shapes people really run
- Lead bot + helpers: one lead bot hands jobs to helpers. Named in 5 of 100 Reddit posts (r/GrokBot, Oct 26 to 30) and 4 of 121 X posts (Oct 17 to 31).
- Two-bot pair: one finds sources, one writes from them. Source: https://grokbot.guru/starters/two-bot-team/
- Small team, one OK step: one shared board, nothing sent or paid without your OK. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrokBot/comments/1xh6v8z/ (Oct 27, 2026).

Try this: ask your bot, "Which job do I give you most often? Should it get its own bot?"
