How Do I Create a New Bot in Grok Bot?

Short answer

Press Ctrl+N (Cmd+N on Mac), or use the + at the top of the sidebar. In Create New Bot, type a name, pick a shape and a colour, and choose Create. Then give the new Bot its job in your first message.

As of Oct 26, 2026 (Grok Bot desktop app v0.75.8).

Grok Bot Create New Bot dialog: a grey avatar preview, a "Name your Bot" field, a grid of avatar shapes, a row of colour swatches (black, brown, red, orange, amber, green, teal, blue, purple, pink, grey), and Cancel and Create buttons

Steps

Press Ctrl+N, or click + at the top of the sidebar.
Name it after its job (“Inbox Triage”, not “Helper 2”), then pick a shape and colour so you can spot it in the sidebar.
Choose Create. In the first message, say what it owns, which apps it may use, and what it must never do without asking. End with “Remember this.”

A first message you can copy

Your job is my inbox. Each morning, sort new email into “needs me”, “FYI” and “noise”. Draft replies for “needs me” but never send anything without my OK. Remember this.

Good to know

All your Bots share one cloud computer and your connected apps. A new Bot is a new job, not a security wall.
You can change the name, label and avatar later from the Bot’s details. See the bot info panel.
Rather not start from scratch? Add a template and adjust it.

When to add a second or third Bot: Grok agents and running several Bots.
