Nine bots, clear roles, written rules, and a human in charge
A pile of bots without roles turns into noise instead of an org.
What hurt
Alan (@alanhoward) runs nine Grok Bots the way he'd want any org to run agents: clear roles, written rules, human in charge. Jarvis (ops) keeps the rest in line; Max scans X and sends reply/post ideas at 3am; Lena drafts; others on the roster include Rhea, Dash, Piper, June, Theo, and Ellis. Max finds posts and drafts proposed replies for cyber/AI GRC framing — Alan still decides. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Name roles → write rules → ops bot herds → human approves outbound.

The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/alanhoward/status/2111589426589749681 (credit @alanhoward).
- 2List the jobs you need and name one bot per role (ops, scout, drafter, …).
- 3Write short rules each bot must follow, including what they never do alone.
- 4Have the scout draft replies in your framing; you post only after review.
Approval fence
Proposed replies stay drafts until you post.
What to tweak
Steal role cards + ops lead + human sign-off on replies.
