Share your bot

Sharing hands someone a copy of your bot's setup. Your machine, passwords, and chat history stay with you. Scrub secrets from the profile before anyone opens the link.

  1. 01

    Take private things out first

    Remove API keys, internal web addresses, customer data, and anything you would not publish on the open web. A public template exposes the profile, saved methods, schedules, and name to anyone with the URL.

  2. 02

    Create the template

    Open Share, pick Create template, and wait while the bot packages it. When packaging finishes, you can copy the link, read the details, or push an update.

  3. 03

    Choose who can open it

    Pick a public link or Team-only access. Enterprise accounts often start with team-only sharing; most other accounts default to public unless you tighten it.

  4. 04

    Know what the other person gets

    They preview the bot and tap Add to Grok Bot in the app. They receive the configuration, not your sign-ins or past messages. You remain responsible for what you publish.

Questions

Can people see my Gmail if they import my bot?
No. They import the instructions and setup only. They wire up their own Gmail or other apps on their account.
Who can open a public link?
Anyone who has the link. They see the bot name, job text, saved methods, and schedules. A team-only link is limited to your team.
How do I update the shared copy?
Use Update template when you want the shared template to follow the bot. Read the details again before you send the link.
