Questions

Do I need to know how to code?
No. You tell the bot what finished work looks like, in ordinary sentences. These lessons do not ask you to write a program.
Where should I start?
Start with what a Grok Bot is, then how to get it. After that, make one bot or open a ready-made template.
Did xAI write these lessons?
No. Bot Cookbook writes them from the Grok Bot docs and the changelog, and each page links to those sources. This site is not affiliated with xAI.
