Editorial picks
The short lists.
The directory holds hundreds of public Grok Bot templates. These collections cut it down to the handful worth adding for a given job — the best of 2026, productivity, coding, and the bots built around scheduled routines.
Every pick is ranked, attributed to its creator, and comes with a written reason it made the list. No pay-for-placement, no affiliate links — just the listings we would add ourselves.

Best Grok Bot templates (2026).
Template sharing only shipped on 28 Aug 2026, so "best of 2026" really means the best of a very young ecosystem. A clear top tier already exists, though: templates that name one job, say what access they need, and keep consequential actions behind approval. These eight are the listings we would add to our own Grok Bot first.

Best Grok bots for productivity.
Productivity Grok bots earn their place by removing a queue, not by adding another dashboard. The six templates here cover the usual time sinks — an overflowing inbox, appointment phone-tag, surprise usage limits — plus two picks for the meta-problem: keeping a growing set of Bots productive too.

Best coding Grok bots.
Grok Bot is the first joint xAI–Cursor product and runs on Cursor infrastructure, so coding is its home turf. These five templates cover the loop end to end: specs grounded in shipped work, a full-stack builder, a night shift that queues pull requests, a reviewer that has to be convinced, and a research bot for ramping onto new territory.

Best scheduled Grok bots.
Routines are what make a Grok bot a teammate rather than a chat window: scheduled or event-triggered workflows that keep running on the Bot's own cloud computer while your machine is off. xAI has reported limits of around 50 routines per Bot, with the 20 most recent runs kept.
Collections favor templates that name one job, say what access they need, and keep consequential actions behind approval. A place on a list is an editorial judgment about the public listing — not a security audit. Review any bot's live instructions, connected tools, and routines inside Grok Bot before adding it, or start from the full directory at /templates.
