Derived from the public description. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth — review it before adding.

Before you add Second Brain

  • Prefer bots that cite sources inline over ones that only summarize.
  • Run it on demand for a few days before you switch on its daily routine.
  • Open the x.ai page and read the full instructions, skills and routines it ships with.

Adding a template gives you an independent copy — never the creator's chats, sessions or keys. How adding a Grok Bot template works.
