Seven questions to check you are using the bots you pay for
Most people open one chat forever while the rest of the setup sits idle.
What hurt
Matt (@SideShopAi) posted a seven-question self-check for people who already pay for Grok Bot: one job per chat, memory of a repeated fact, saved instructions, one weekly routine, voice capture, one connected busywork service, and using the right surface instead of forcing everything through chat.

What to install or create
Walk the seven questions this week. One small step each. Tip checklist — no invented system prompt.
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/SideShopAi/status/2109683168282341527 (credit @SideShopAi).
- 2Answer: one chat or named helpers? Give your top job its own chat with the job on top.
- 3Tell the bot one fact you are tired of repeating; check next time it remembers.
- 4Save the paragraph you keep pasting as kept steps; stop pasting.
- 5Pick one weekly same-day task, set a tiny routine, connect one busywork service, and try the right surface once.
Approval fence
No send/post while you answer the checklist unless a step explicitly needs a draft.
What to tweak
Steal the seven steps. Paid idle capacity is the real waste.
