Treat Your AI Bot Like a New Hire: The 8 Rules From a Guide Musk Shared The author of the guides says you don't write a directive when you're setting up a grok bot. You fill a role. Musk called it a helpful guide to hiring your first Grokbot employee, and about 31,000 people bookmarked his post. The 30 second version:
1. Hire a job, not a task: One ownership phrase that will remain true next month.
2. Make the first job boring, frequent enough to check, and cheap enough to cancel.
3. Run the text trial. Ask what it will do before it does anything.
4. The fence made before the first day. "Useful" is not a standard, a checkable list is.
5. Give one key, not the key chain. Draw the line at what can be undone.
6. Probation is three runs. One success is an event, reliability is a pattern.
7. Promoted based on evidence: five clean runs, backtracking tested.
8. Review each week and fire the routines that no one will miss. It should always ask before sending, posting, buying, deleting or transferring money.
