Grok Bot Templates: Share, Import and Use Ready-Made Bots
Grok Bot templates let you copy a working Bot instead of building one from scratch. You can share your own Bot as a template, import someone else’s from the gallery, or start a ready-made job like the subscription templates added on 27 October 2026. In the video below I show 10 Grok Bots that make it far more useful. Here’s how templates work, what they include, and what to strip out before you share one, from xAI’s official docs.
Key takeaways
A template is a copy of a Bot: identity, description, skills and routines.
It never includes your computer, logins or conversation history.
There are two kinds of templates in Grok Bot, and it helps to keep them apart:
Bot templates. A shareable copy of a Bot. The Bots guide says to share a template “when someone else should start from the same Bot”. The person who adds it gets their own copy.
Task templates. Ready-made jobs a Bot can run for you, like the subscription templates in the v0.78.1 changelog.
Either way, the point is the same: start from something that already works.
The new subscription templates (v0.78.1)
The 27 October 2026 release added three templates aimed at the subscriptions everyone forgets about:
Template
What it does
Try it, don’t pay for it
Starts a free trial for you, then cancels it or reminds you before it bills
Find unused subscriptions
Cancels the plans you pick from the ones you still pay for
Watch subscription prices
Checks your renewal prices
The same release says Bots can now cancel a subscription or look up its price and renewal date, and they confirm with you before changing anything. For a business with a stack of software tools, Find unused subscriptions is the one to run first.

Click the Bot’s name at the top of the chat to open its details, choose Share, then Create a copy. The Bot builds a template and posts it in the chat.
Choose Publish on the template card, then Copy link.
Send the link. The recipient opens a preview on x.ai and chooses Add to Grok Bot. They need the Grok Bot app to finish.
On iPhone and Android, open the Bot’s menu and choose Share as Template. After publishing, the Share menu offers View template details, Update template to push your latest changes, and Delete Template to turn off the link.
What a template includes, and what it doesn’t
Included
Never included
The Bot’s identity and description
Your cloud computer
Its skills
Your logins
Its routines
Your conversation history
Here’s the warning that matters. A new template link is public. Anyone with the link can open it and see the Bot’s shared configuration. The docs say to remove API keys, internal URLs, customer data and anything else you wouldn’t put in a public document before you share.
How to add a Bot from a template
To browse, open Connect apps in the sidebar and choose Bot templates. The gallery opens on x.ai in your browser. Open a template link and choose Import Bot to add your own copy.
Shared templates are made by other users, not by Grok Bot, and adding one accepts the third-party bot terms. Read a template’s skills and routines before you let it run on your accounts.
If you want ten people running the same lead-follow-up Bot on their own accounts, use a template. If you want one support Bot the whole team chats with, use a Shared Bot.
Templates on Teams and Enterprise
The Teams and Enterprises guide gives admins a Public template sharing control. Off keeps sharing team-only, and it’s enforced on the server, even for templates that are already public. Enterprise teams start with public sharing off; other teams start with it allowed.
When sharing is limited, the app doesn’t offer Create a copy, and publishing shows Your team doesn't allow public templates or Template sharing is turned off. A team-only link opens only for members of your team. v0.78.1 also lets people on several teams, with none selected, publish a public template when their teams allow it.
A quick alternative: Duplicate
On iPhone you can Duplicate a Bot to reuse a role for a different scope, like one account-health Bot per region. The copy carries the profile, settings, enabled skills, routines and avatar, but not conversation history, learned memory or attachments, so rename it and give it the new scope first.
My verdict
Templates are how you stop rebuilding the same Bot twice. Build one Bot that works, strip anything private, publish it as a template, and let your team or clients start from it. And run the Find unused subscriptions template this week.
A template is a shareable copy of a Bot with its identity, description, skills and routines. There are also ready-made task templates, like the subscription templates added in v0.78.1.
How do I share a Grok Bot as a template?
Open the Bot’s details, choose Share, then Create a copy. Choose Publish on the template card, then Copy link. On the phone, choose Share as Template.
Where do I find Grok Bot templates?
Open Connect apps in the sidebar and choose Bot templates. The gallery opens on x.ai, and Import Bot adds your own copy.
Does a Grok Bot template share my logins?
No. A template never includes your computer, logins or conversation history. A public link does show the Bot’s configuration, so remove API keys and private data first.
What subscription templates does Grok Bot have?
Try it, don’t pay for it; Find unused subscriptions; and Watch subscription prices, all added on 27 October 2026.
Can my team block public templates?
Yes. On Teams and Enterprise, admins control Public template sharing. Enterprise teams start with it off.
