Grok Bot for Developers: Essentials — Docs & Onboarding Playbook

A focused 45-minute playbook for documentation and onboarding with Grok Bot. Learners hand a Bot an out-of-date README and the code from a merged pull request, have it run the settings check on its cloud computer to prove what changed, and get back a corrected README as a draft a person approves. They finish by setting up a docs helpdesk and onboarding Shared Bot (Shared Bots were formerly called Team Bots) that answers from the team's knowledge base, or by writing that setup down.

What this course covers

The course runs across 3 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

Keeping docs current as pull requests ship — Learners give a Bot the README and the changed code, have it run the code in its terminal to confirm each fact it can (commands, required settings, defaults) and read versions from package.json, and list every stale line with its evidence. The fix comes back as a draft README or an unposted pull request description that a person approves before anything is pushed.
A helpdesk Bot that answers from the knowledge base — Learners test the Bot with new-starter questions and check that it answers only from the current docs, cites the file, and says when the docs don't cover something instead of guessing. Stale docs give confident wrong answers, so the helpdesk is only as good as the README behind it.
Shared Bots: a docs helpdesk and onboarding Shared Bot — Learners set the job up as a Shared Bot: the README and setup guide as Files in Bot settings, an onboarding walkthrough skill, and a one-sentence description in the Bot's voice; the Bot saves only team-wide facts for the whole team, while what it learns about each newcomer stays between them and the Bot. Learners without Shared Bots write the same setup down for equal credit.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick.

Who it is for

Software developers. The material is pitched at beginner level, and takes roughly 45 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

It sits in the Tool: Grok Bot track of the Vero AI Catalog, and can be assigned to one person, a team, or the whole company.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including code lab, branching scenario, guided lab exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a lab assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.

Also in this track

Grok Bot: Essentials — Get everyday work done with Grok Bot. Learners set up a focused Bot, write clear requests, attach files, sign in safely, connect apps, handle approvals, and start using one of their team's Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots) in the app and in Slack. By the end they can take a read-and-prepare task from request to a reviewed, unsent result.
Grok Bot for Developers: Essentials — Incidents & Performance Playbook — A focused 45-minute playbook for incidents and performance work with Grok Bot. Learners hand a Bot a sampled request log and the deploy log from a latency regression, have it measure before and after on its cloud computer, and separate facts from hypotheses with the highest-impact cause first. They finish by setting up a recurring, read-only health report as a Shared Bot (Shared Bots were formerly called Team Bots), or by writing that setup down, with no unsupervised production changes.
Grok Bot: Essentials — Sales & Accounts Playbook — A focused, 45-minute playbook for sales and account work in Grok Bot. Learners have a Bot research and score accounts against an ideal customer profile, prepare review-ready outreach drafts that are never sent, and build a weekly account-health watch list - then see the same job as one Bot the whole sales team can use through Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots).
Grok Bot: Essentials — Chief of Staff Playbook — A focused, 45-minute playbook for running a daily digest with Grok Bot. Learners have a Bot pull email, Slack, calendar and notes into one source-linked digest, map it to priorities and the decisions an executive owes, tune out noise and schedule it - then see how a leadership team could share the same job through Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots).
Grok Bot: Intro — A short first look at Grok Bot, the app where named AI teammates called Bots finish work inside your tools. Learners see how it differs from Grok, how a Bot uses its own cloud computer and stops for approval, and how Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots), one Bot the whole team chats with, differ from your own Bots, then hand a first Bot one small read-only task.
Cursor & Grok Bot for Developers Pathway — One path for engineering teams that use Cursor with Grok Bot included. A placement check for each tool sends you to the right Cursor course and the right Grok Bot course. Also includes 8 optional playbooks (Testing, Code Review, Refactoring & Migration and Docs & Onboarding for Cursor; Testing, Code Review, Incidents & Performance and Docs & Onboarding for Grok Bot) to take any time after Essentials; they don't count toward the certificate.
Grok Bot for Developers Pathway — Grok Bot for engineers and technical operators: Bots for engineering work, custom connections and secrets, event-triggered routines, engineering Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots), and administering and securing Grok Bot across a company. Also includes 4 optional playbooks (Testing, Code Review, Incidents & Performance, Docs & Onboarding) to take any time after Essentials; they don't count toward the certificate.
