The guide is free. Grok Bot itself needs a Premium plan or higher. Do I need to know how to code? No. You write to your bot in plain words, or just talk to it. Where do I start? Just tell it what you want: a goal, something that bugs you, a task you’re tired of doing. It takes it from there. You approve anything important, like sending or buying. Why do you need my email? You sign in with your email and a one-time code. There’s no password. When you sign up, you agree to get occasional emails from us with updates and offers, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
