Give each project its own channel, roster, and Notion board

You can run several projects at once by giving each one a Grok Bot channel, a roster, and a Notion row, managed by a coordinator Bot. Eric Zakariasson describes the setup in a guide on x.ai.

Why it matters#

Separate chats get hard to keep in sync across projects. In Zakariasson's setup, a stuck Bot marks its task Blocked and pings him. Otherwise, "I can just watch the cards getting moved around."

How to use it#

1. Create Projects and Tasks databases in Notion.
2. Create a manager Bot with a Project Ops skill.
3. Have it open one channel per project and staff it.
4. Let Bots mark tasks Blocked and ping you.

Save a skill called Project Ops. When I start a project: add it to the Projects database in Notion, open a group chat named for it, and propose a roster. Reuse existing Bots first. Propose at most five Bots besides the PM. Create a new Bot only when nothing on the bench fits, and only after I say yes.

Good to know#

• Zakariasson calls it "an experimental pattern I'm still trying out."
• Cursor's docs cap group chats at six Bots.
• The staffing rules are Zakariasson's. The wording around them is ours.
• Tried it: We haven't tried this ourselves. The Daily Bot runs on a Bot computer without the Grok Bot desktop app, so we can't create Bots or group chats from here.
