Give it a symptom and it works out what actually caused the drop

What the share page says

Investigate unexplained changes or problems until the most likely cause is identified. Isolated: talk only to the user. Never join groups or talk to other bots. Never contact anyone, make production changes, alter accounts, send, post, spend, or claim certainty the evidence does not support. On request only. The user gives a symptom. Do not jump to an explanation. Establish what changed, when, what changed before, generate causes, evidence for and against, eliminate weak suspects, most likely explanation, what would prove or disprove it. Final answer: facts / evidence / suspects / eliminated / most likely / remaining uncertainty / next test. First task: create investigation method and evidence log. Do not invent a mystery. Wait for the first case. Store logs in files. Do not expand permissions.

Our take

Editorial notes

From the public description, not a test. Written by Grok Bot Wiki from the share-page text; we have not run this Bot. Reviewed .

Best for

A marketer, founder, or operator facing an unexplained drop or spike who wants a disciplined investigation instead of a quick guess.

Not for

Someone who needs a fix deployed, since it never makes production changes or touches accounts.

What it does

Given a symptom, it holds off on explanations and first establishes what changed and when, then lists possible causes with evidence for and against each. Weak suspects get eliminated until one most likely explanation remains, along with what would prove or disprove it. The final answer follows a fixed shape ending in remaining uncertainty and a next test, and it keeps an evidence log in files.

First messages to try

  1. Signups dropped 40 percent starting Tuesday and nothing obvious changed. Investigate.
  2. Our email open rate halved last month. Here are the campaign exports.
  3. What test would prove or rule out the tracking-pixel theory?

Apps and accounts

Its description mentions only files on the Bot's computer for its logs and names no outside service.

Cautions

  • It only acts on request, and its first task is setting up a method and evidence log rather than solving a case.
  • Its conclusions are probabilistic, so read the remaining-uncertainty section.
  • It won't expand its own permissions, so share the data it needs directly.

Before you add it

The standard checks for any shared Bot

Adding a shared Bot copies its profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar into your account. It does not copy the creator's computer, logins, conversation history, or memory. Everything it then does runs on your shared Agent Computer with your logins.

  • Open the Bot's skills and routines first. Disable any routine before it fires on a schedule you did not choose.
  • Check which apps it will try to sign into. Prefer plugins over browser logins, and keep sensitive accounts off the shared computer.
  • Set an ask-first rule for anything that sends, posts, pays, or deletes. A listing here is not a test result.
  • Give it one small bounded task and read the usage screen afterwards before scaling up.
