The scariest button in any AI helper is "send." So none of these bots press it for you.

I just put 8 free Grok Bot templates on bhjr.dev/templates. Each one is a published Grok Bot with an Open in Grok Bot button. You import it, answer a few plain questions, and it gets to work. No code, no setup.

I write about agent safety for production engineers, so I built these the same way I would want any agent built: the bot does the drafting, and you stay the one who approves. These bots never send, post, or reply on your behalf without your approval.

The rule behind all 8: draft, approve, send

Most agent incidents are not about a bad answer. They are about an action nobody checked: an email that went out, a post that went live, a reply that should not have been sent. The fix is boring and it works. Put a human approval gate in front of every action that leaves the box.

Every template follows that loop:

  1. Draft. The bot does the slow part: reading, sorting, writing.
  2. You approve. You see the exact text before anything happens.
  3. Send. Only after your OK, and only what you approved.

The templates

Daily AI News Digest
A five-minute morning briefing on the AI stories that actually matter to you. It reads; it does not act. The safest kind of agent is one with nothing to send.

Explainer Video
A spoken script, a hook, and simple shot ideas for a video you can actually film. Nothing gets published to a channel without you signing off.

Job Search Helper
Check a job post, tighten a resume bullet, or practice one interview answer. It will not submit an application for you. You read it, you send it.

Content Repurposer
Turn one post, newsletter, or transcript into a few pieces that still sound like you. Every piece is a draft until you approve it.

Personal Research Assistant
A plain-language map of a new topic, with facts kept separate from opinions. That split is a safety feature too: you can see what is sourced and what is a take.

Reply Drafter
Two ready-to-send replies, plus the one line you should not say. "Ready to send" means ready for you to send. The bot never replies for you.

Meeting Notes to Next Steps
Turn a messy brain dump into decisions, owners, and a recap you can share. The recap waits for your OK before it goes to anyone.

Real-Life Week Planner
A Monday to Sunday that fits your real energy, with room left on purpose. It proposes a plan; you decide what lands on your calendar.

An advanced Grok Bot video is on the way. I will add it here when it is live.

Pick one job and try it

Do not import all 8. Pick the job in front of you this week, open that template, and watch how the approval step feels. If a bot ever made you nervous about what it might send, this is the version that waits for you.
