Grok Bot Multi-Agent System Playbook

1. Mental model: think of it as 1 computer that never turns off, with several bots working on it at once, sharing the same files and workspace. 2. Setup order: build the lead bot first. It hands out tasks, tracks progress, and flags anything that needs you. 3. Internal bus: keep the important info in shared files instead of chat messages, so any bot can pick up right where another left off. 4. Specialist teams: give each bot 1 job, like writing, research or coding, and let the lead bot manage all of them. 5. Automation: set up 3 checkpoints: where the info comes from, proof it's correct, and the actual action. Bots keep working until 1 of those needs your approval. 6. Trust layer: let the bots research. You only step in for anything that can't be undone. 7. Expensive lessons: checking too often burns your usage and adding too many bots can actually slow things down.
