What is a Grok Bot template and is it safe to import?
A template is a share link for a bot someone else configured. Import adds a copy to your Grok Bot account. The notes below follow the Grok Bot docs and the third-party bot terms. Where those pages do not say, this page says Not publicly documented.
What a template contains
The bots page says a public link shows the bot's shared configuration: its identity, description, skills, and routines. A Team-only link opens only for members of that team.
The third-party bot terms say anyone with the share link can view and install the bot's full configuration, including skills, routines, and identity content. Creators are told to remove API keys, internal URLs, and customer data before they share.
Duplicate, which is a different control, copies profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar, and does not copy conversation history, learned memory, or chat attachments. The share page does not repeat that list for a template. Beyond identity, description, skills, and routines: Not publicly documented.
What importing does
The recipient opens a preview on x.ai and can choose Add to Grok Bot. Finishing that step needs the Grok Bot app. In Marketplace, Add, or Import Bot on the opened bot, creates your own copy from the template.
Adding a shared bot creates a copy on your account. It does not give you the creator's computer, logins, or conversation history. Shared bots are created by other users, not by SpaceXSI. Adding one accepts the third-party bot terms.
Those terms say the bot may read, write, and send data, run tasks, and use third-party services through accounts you connect. They also say the provider does not verify, endorse, or guarantee the bot, and that use is at your own risk.
Permissions and connectors
You connect your own accounts. The terms say you are responsible for connecting accounts for any integration the bot requires. Whether the template itself switches a connector on at import: Not publicly documented.
Connectors are installed from Connect apps. Once installed, they are available across the account, not locked to one bot. Bots on the account also share one cloud computer, including browser sessions and files. Separate bots are not a security boundary.
The approvals page says sensitive or consequential actions can stop for approval. Passwords, two-factor codes, and CAPTCHAs use a computer takeover, and you should not type those into ordinary chat. Ask-first rules can cover sending, publishing, deleting, purchasing, and production changes.
Review one before you import
Open the preview and read the identity, description, skills, and routines before you choose Add to Grok Bot. The terms say you have reviewed the description and understand what the bot does.
Skip a template when the description does not say which actions it will take, or when it asks you to paste a secret into chat. After import, start with a read-only task and keep sending, posting, purchases, deletion, and permission changes behind an approval.
