You can now share a Grok Bot as a template
In short
Since v0.30.0 (Aug 28, 2026) you can share a Grok Bot as a template others copy. How templates work, what gets shared, and where to find free ones.
Building a good Bot from scratch takes some trial and error. Templates let you skip that. The official changelog for version 0.30.0, dated August 28, 2026, says you can share a Bot as a template, choose whether your team or anyone can use it, and others add their own copy from the link.
What a template is
A template is a starting copy of a Bot: its name, look and instructions. When you add a Bot from a template, you get your own copy. It doesn't share your chats or your accounts with the person who made it, and you connect your own apps.
How to share one of your Bots
- Open the Bot's chat.
- Open the share menu in the chat header. (Since September 3, Share as template, Update template and View template details live there.)
- Choose who can use it: your team or anyone with the link.
- Copy the link and send it.
Team admins can limit whether members share templates publicly or only within the team.
How to use someone else's template
Open the link, add the Bot, and it appears in your sidebar. A Bot you create from a template greets you in your app language (a September 16 improvement). Then connect only the apps it actually needs.
Finding templates
Since October 11, the changelog says Bots can find a Bot template that fits what you describe and link it in the chat. Try: "Is there a template for planning meals for a family of four?"
I've also put together free Grok Bot templates based on Bots I use to run my business, each with ask-first rules built in, such as the News Desk for following a topic.
Tips for good templates
- Give it one clear job. "Weekly meal planner" beats "life helper."
- Write ask-first rules into the instructions: "Never send or buy anything without asking me."
- Update the template when you improve your own Bot, so people who copy it later get the better version.
What it means for you
Templates are the fastest way for a beginner to get a useful Bot on day one. Start with one, use it for a week, then tweak it to fit. For prompt basics, see how to use Grok Bot, and for safety, is Grok Bot safe?
