Roundup
Productivity Grok bots, compared
The largest category in this directory, and the most personal: bots that read your mail, hold your calendar, keep your notes, and decide what deserves your attention this morning. The declared connections cluster tightly — mail, calendar, chat, notes — and that clustering is the most useful thing on this page.

The shortlist, by published installs
Ordered by the install count each bot's own source listing publishes - the only outcome measure available, and one that only 21 of 437 listings here provide. It is a ranking of the documented, not of the best.

How we picked
- Listings are checked against their own public x.ai page and re-checked daily.
- The shortlist is ordered by install counts published by the source listing; most productivity listings do not publish them.
- Where a bot declares a connection, the declaration is the builder's, shown as written — not a claim we verified by connecting it.
The shape of this category is a desk
Where productivity bots declare connections, they point at the same few things: mail first, then calendar, then team chat, then notes. That is the shape of a working day rather than a tool list, and it tells you what to expect — a bot that holds your calendar and drafts your replies is doing triage, not analysis.
The risk profile follows the same shape. A bot that can read mail is a different proposition from one that can send it, and one wired into a shared team chat is a different proposition from one that only drafts into a window you control. Before you connect anything real, read what the instructions permit.
How to pick one
Start with the smallest job you actually have — the daily standup summary, the inbox sweep, the meeting note. Bots in this category fail mostly by being asked to run a whole working day on day one: broad briefs produce confident, unhelpful summaries.
Then check what it is connected to, and connect less than the bot asks for. The listing tells you what the builder shared; the safety guide covers the rest, including the rule that matters most here — a bot that asks for a password or an API key in a message is not a bot you should keep running.

Questions
Can a Grok bot actually read my email?
Only through the connections it declares and that you allow on xAI's platform. Undeclared access is not possible from inside a bot, but a bot's instructions can ask you to paste something — which is why the listing and the safety guide both matter.
Which productivity bot is best?
The one whose one narrow job matches yours. This page ranks the listings that publish install counts, which is a signal about documentation rather than quality; the full category is browsable by job.
Is it safe to give a bot calendar access?
Treat it like giving a new assistant access: minimum scope, and read the instructions first. A bot that only reads your calendar is a much smaller decision than one that can also modify it or send invites.
