Teach a Task: record only the gap the bot can't guess
People record entire workflows for Teach a Task when chat already covers most of it.
What hurt
Kacper Rutkiewicz (@KacperRutk) taught Grok Bot a boring morning task by recording only about 20 seconds. He wrote the finish line in chat, let the bot run, fixed breaks in plain words, and recorded solely the part it could not figure out (adding the right GIF and picking the category). Teach a Task is niche; chat does the heavy lifting. Tip with author-published steps. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Plan finish line in chat → bot dry-run → fix in words → record only the unguessable gap.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
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/KacperRutk/status/2105705048692920475 (credit @KacperRutk).
- 2In chat, write the finish line for the task before you open Teach a Task.
- 3Let the Bot take a real run; fix what broke with plain words in the same chat.
- 4Record only the short gap it still cannot guess (often 20 seconds to a minute).
- 5Skip recording the parts chat already handled; re-run once and only then schedule if you need a routine.
Approval fence
Review what the saved task will click or send before you put it on a schedule.
What to tweak
Steal "record only the gap." Most of the workflow stays in chat.
