How to share a Grok Bot without leaking the company

Grok Bot lets you share a public link so someone else can start from the same named teammate. That is useful for a directory like this one, and easy to get wrong.

Adding a shared Bot creates a copy on the recipient’s account. It does not give them your cloud computer, your logins, or your conversation history. Shared Bots are created by other users, not by xAI; adding one accepts third-party bot terms.

The link is still public. Anyone with it can see the shared configuration: identity, description, skills, and routines.

Before you copy the link

Open the profile and read it as if it will be indexed.

Remove:

• API keys, tokens, and “password is in the usual place.”
• Internal URLs, VPN names, and staging hostnames.
• Customer names, pipeline amounts, and ticket IDs.
• Skills that embed a private prompt with account IDs.
• Routines that open a specific mailbox or Salesforce report only you should see.

Keep:

• The job in operational language.
• The approval boundary.
• The shape of the artifact (“dated watch list with vendor, invoice, exception type”).
• Public tool names (Salesforce, Zendesk) without instance URLs.

If the Bot cannot work without a secret, the share is a template, not a clone of production. Say that in the description: “Point this Bot at your AP inbox and vendor alias sheet before the first run.”

After they add it

They still need the Grok Bot app. Their copy will not have your files. Send a separate, private note — not the public listing — if you are helping a teammate: which folder to create, which logins to grant, which report to use.

Do not put that private note on grokbotlist.com. Listings here should be jobs other people can adapt, not a dump of how your company is wired.

Directory listings vs share links

A listing on Grokbotlist is a write-up of a job: name, category, author, what it owns, how to brief it. An x.ai share link is optional. If you add one, treat it like a public README. If you would not print the description on a conference badge, do not share the Bot.
