Turn Grok Bot browser clicks into scripts
Sam Sokolin says repeating Grok Bot clicks burns tokens. He later shared Not My Tempo, a bot that audits routines and turns computer-use work into scripts.
Sam Sokolin wrote a short note on X about a Grok Bot habit that wastes usage: sending the bot through the same web-app clicks again and again.
Sokolin works on Grok Bot at SpaceXAI. The note is about computer use — the bot driving a GUI — on a page it already knows how to operate.
The pattern
Repeating those clicks burns a lot of tokens. The workaround he uses is to ask Grok Bot to reverse engineer the expensive browser-use job into a script.
The steps in the post are:
- Do the task once with computer use.
- Have the bot capture the network requests from that run.
- Next time, skip the UI and hit the APIs directly, using the same auth.
He also says that path is faster than watching the bot click through a GUI.
Not My Tempo
He later shared a bot that applies the same idea across a roster: Not My Tempo.
He says it will:
- Convert expensive routine computer-use tasks into scripts and connectors
- Look for opportunities to optimize the cadence of routines
- Move cron-based routines onto event-based triggers
The public share asks for a full fleet audit on first run and not to create a weekly tempo check unless asked. He asked installers to tell him how many tokens it saved. The post does not include a number.
The usage note is on X. The bot announcement is the follow-up.
