Use Grok Bot on a website that has no connector
Official Bot FAQ: Grok Bot can use many browser-based tools, including services without a dedicated connector. The Bot works from a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem, and terminal. Prefer a connector when one exists for a more structured integration; use the browser when no connector covers the site or when you need a visual workflow the connector does not expose.
Hand the Bot a browser task
- Open a one-to-one conversation with the Bot that should own the work.
- Name the site URL, the account or workspace to use, the outcome you want, and any approval boundary (for example: draft only; never send or publish without approval).
- Ask the Bot to open the site in its computer browser and complete the steps.
- Open Agent Computer from the conversation if you want to watch clicks and navigation.
Browser cookies and signed-in sessions persist on the shared computer, so you usually sign in once per site. Sessions expire or re-challenge on some sites; ask the Bot to pause and notify you when that happens.
Take over for human-only steps
The Bot should hand these to you and must not bypass them (FAQ + computer-and-apps):
- Password or passkey
- Two-factor authentication
- CAPTCHA
- Payment or identity check
- A site that explicitly requires a human
Open the computer, take control, finish only the blocked step, then tell the Bot to continue. Avoid pasting passwords or one-time codes into chat. For a supported connection that presents a secure secret request, enter the value there so it stays masked and out of the conversation.
When a connector does exist
- Open Settings → Plugins (connectors appear as Plugins in the current app).
- Add the connector and finish browser authentication.
- In chat, type
@to attach the connector to the task.
Installed connectors are account-wide. Prefer them for supported services; keep the browser path for everything else.
Pitfalls
- A site may block automation even when the Bot’s browser opens it — take over or change approach when the page refuses automated control.
- Every Bot on your account shares one computer; a login you place there is available to your other Bots.
- Do not invent connector names. Browse Settings → Plugins or grok.com/connectors for the live catalog.
