Let Grok Bot carry the production paperwork. Keep the calls with people.

For Filmmakers, producers, editors and production teams coordinating a story across development, planning and post-production

Everything for Filmmakers

Set up Grok Bot with least access, then build four bots for script revisions, breakdowns and call sheets, shot tests, and post notes and clearances. Each runs on a tested routine and waits for your approval.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end, you can…

Pick the right tool for each production taskDecide whether a job belongs in Grok Bot, a Custom Agent in the Grok chat app or a bot built on the Grok API. Check which plans include Grok Bot on the official pricing page, because plans and prices change.
Set Grok Bot up with the least access that worksTurn Auto-review on, with Ask first rules for sending, posting, purchasing, deleting and permission changes. Set Execution on this computer to Never allow, switch off app tools you don't need, save no cards in Vault and keep one Bot per production.
Write instructions that tell a Bot when to stopWrite a setup message that names the Bot's one job, its sources, its people, what it may change, what it must never touch and when it has to ask. For example, it asks the script supervisor which revision is current before it treats any draft as the baseline.
Build four production bots and put them on routinesUsing one sample scene, build a script revision desk, a breakdown and call-sheet bot, a shot-test register and a post notes and clearances tracker. Save each one as a skill and check it with Test before you rely on it.
Share a Team Bot with your productionShare a Bot with your team and bring it into Slack. Attach only the apps, files and secrets that everyone with access may use, and know whose accounts and usage each reply draws on.
Review what your bots actually didUse approval cards, run history, memory checks and evidence requests to catch invented availability, costs or safety instructions, old notes attached to a replacement shot, and accepted work that was quietly overwritten.

How it works

A tutor that meets you where you are

  1. Lessons that meet you at your levelThere are 31 step-by-step lessons, written to follow with the app open. They adapt to what you already know, so a coordinator new to AI agents and a post supervisor who has tried them both start in the right place.
  2. An AI tutor you can ask anythingType or speak your questions, such as why a routine didn't run, how to word a stop rule for your own production, or what a setting does. You get answers tied to the lesson in front of you.
  3. Quizzes and flashcards for every lessonShort quizzes and flashcards come with each lesson, so settings, approval rules and failure checks stick before you use them on real work.
  4. Progress tracking and a certificateSee which modules you've finished and which bots you've built and tested. You get a certificate of completion when you finish the course.

Curriculum

Who it’s for

Made for you if…

Made for: Filmmakers, producers, editors and production teams coordinating a story across development, planning and post-production

Producers and production coordinators

You keep breakdowns, schedules and call sheets current while the script keeps changing. You want a bot to carry the updates without inventing availability or costs, and without sending anything to cast, crew or vendors until you approve it.

Script supervisors

You're the person who knows which revision is current. Here you'll set up a revision desk that ignores duplicates, pauses on misdated drafts and asks you before treating any draft as the baseline.

Editors and post supervisors

You track notes against cuts, missing media and clearances. You want a tracker that flags a missing file instead of swapping in another one, and holds old notes back from a replacement shot until someone reviews them.

Small production teams deciding whether to pay

You're weighing an eligible Grok Bot plan and want a clear picture of what it can carry, what it shares across Bots, and how routines draw on the weekly usage pool before you commit real accounts.

Questions

Good to know

Which Grok Bot plans work with this course?

As of 28 October 2026, new customers get Grok Bot with Premium ($30/month), Super ($100) or Ultra ($200), or with a Teams seat at the same per-seat prices. Free and the $8 Plus tier don't include it. Some legacy Cursor and linked SuperGrok routes still work for existing customers. Plans change, so check x.ai/pricing before you start. You need your own eligible plan to do the hands-on lessons.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Everything is done in the Grok Bot app and in chat. API-built bots for Slack, Discord or Telegram appear only as a comparison, and the course doesn't teach writing code for them.

What computer do I need?

A macOS, Windows or Linux desktop. You can message Bots and approve actions on a phone, but testing routines and Teach a task only work on desktop.

Should I use my production's real scripts and footage?

Not while you learn. The lessons use practice files: a sample scene, a breakdown and notes in a Google Drive, Sheets and Gmail account (or similar). Get your production's permission before you connect any of its real accounts, scripts, footage or crew lists. The course also covers what should never go into Grok Bot on a production and why.

Will the bots send emails, book vendors or pay for things?

Not without your approval. You set Ask first rules for sending, posting, purchasing, deleting and permission changes, and you save no cards in Vault. Letting a bot pay, submit to festivals, book vendors or move money is outside this course.

Does the course cover generating shots or altering performers with AI?

No. It doesn't cover generating final shots or creating or altering any performer's face or voice. The shot-test register labels generated material apart from photographed material, and it holds an entry at not-ready until a named person records the performer's approval.

Does it automate Premiere or other editing software?

No. The course doesn't automate NLE projects directly, and no Adobe Creative Cloud plugin was found for Grok Bot. The post tracker works from your notes, Drive files and email.

Does it give legal advice on guild AI terms or clearances?

No. It shows you how to track clearances and route questions to the right person. It doesn't give legal advice on union or guild AI terms, contracts or clearance law.
