How it works
A tutor that meets you where you are
- Lessons that adapt to your levelThere are 27 hands-on lessons, and you follow each one with Grok Bot open. Every lesson adjusts to what you already know. A manager who has run a dozen releases and a producer setting up their first agent each get the depth they need.
- An AI tutor you can ask anythingAsk questions in writing or out loud while you work: about a setting, a setup message, or why your routine stopped where it did. The tutor answers in terms of your practice release.
- Quizzes and flashcards for every lessonShort quizzes and flashcards go with each lesson. They cover the settings, rules and test cases you need to remember, such as which actions need Ask first and why a later file doesn't win.
- Progress tracking and a certificateTrack which modules and test cases you've finished. When you complete the course, you get a certificate of completion.
Curriculum
The curriculum
The course follows one practice release from start to finish. First you decide whether Grok Bot fits and set it up safely. Then you write instructions, build and test four release Bots, share one with your team, and review what the Bots did.

Who it’s for
Made for you if…
Made for: Artists, producers, managers and music teams responsible for creative decisions, release preparation and the details that connect them
Independent artists who run their own releases
Hand the admin to Bots: version logs, credit checks, draft queues and gap lists. The calls on how the record sounds stay with you, and nothing goes out without your approval.
Producers juggling bounces and session credits
Log every new master as a new version under one release ID, without overwriting the approved one. Credits for players and writers are checked against the sheet you approved.
Artist managers
Have conflicting splits frozen and sent to you, and missing files requested a limited number of times. Each week you get a list of what's overdue and who owns it, before it turns into a release problem.
Small label or release teams of one to a handful of people
Share a Team Bot in Slack with the right roles and see whose apps and usage it runs on. Approvals stay with named people.
Questions
Good to know
Which plan do I need to use Grok Bot?
As of 28 Oct 2026, new customers get Grok Bot with Premium ($30/month), Super ($100) or Ultra ($200) on The X Subscription, or with a Teams seat at the same per-seat prices. Free and the $8 Plus plan do not include it. Plus is not the same as the legacy SuperGrok Plus plan, which does include Grok Bot for existing customers. Some legacy Cursor and linked SuperGrok routes also still work. Plans and prices change, so check x.ai/pricing. The Grok Bot plan is separate from this course, and you can decide whether to subscribe after lesson 1.
What do I need before I start?
You need working knowledge of how a release comes together: credits, splits, ISRC/ISWC codes, artwork, distributor delivery specs and pre-save links. You also need a computer running macOS, Windows or Linux, because testing routines and Teach a task are desktop-only. Finally, you need permission to connect your team's Gmail or Outlook, Google Drive or Sheets, and Slack, ideally through a separate work account.
Do I have to use my real masters and contracts?
No. You build a practice release folder with stand-in files: dummy master and artwork file names, a sample split sheet, a metadata sheet and a written artist brief. Real unreleased masters and private contracts don't belong in the exercises.
Will the Bots send, post or submit anything on their own?
No. Every Bot is set up so that nothing is sent, posted, submitted or paid for until a named person approves it. Email from routines waits as a draft. The release package Bot lists what's missing and submits nothing, and the Bots never log in to distributor, royalty, bank or payout accounts.
Does the course cover making music with AI or cloning voices?
No. Generating or editing music, stems or vocals is not covered, and neither are voice cloning or likeness tools. Deciding what the record sounds like stays with the artist and producer.
Will this tell me how to settle a split dispute?
No. The course gives no legal advice on splits, contracts, sample clearance or copyright. You'll set up a Bot that freezes a conflicting split and tells the manager. The resolution comes from the people involved and their representatives.
Can my whole team use the Bots?
Yes, with a Teams or Enterprise plan. Team Bots were in public beta as of 28 Oct 2026. You'll learn how to share a Bot as Collaborator or Manager, bring it to your team's Slack, and check whose apps and usage it runs on. You'll also learn why deleting a shared Bot removes it for everyone.
Do menu names match my version of the app?
Not always. Grok Bot changes often, and some labels have moved between versions; for example, Auto-review may appear as Permissions. Where a screen may differ, the lesson says so and describes the step in general terms.
