What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.

Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your Pinterest presence with Postiz.

💻

Own Cloud Computer

Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Pinterest posts go out even when your laptop is closed.

🔁

Routines

Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on Pinterest content without being asked twice.

🛡️

Approvals Built In

Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Pinterest posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.

How Postiz Works with Grok Bot

Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your Pinterest workflow on its own.

✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Grok Bot

# 1. Add the plugin to your Bot
/add-plugin postiz

# 2. Store your Postiz API key
#    as a secret when prompted

# 3. Ask your Bot to verify
You: Find my Pinterest channel in Postiz

Bot: Running postiz integrations:list
  Found your Pinterest integration.
  All Postiz commands are ready.

Pinterest Pinning with Grok Bot

Your Bot reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Pinterest integration, and handles the entire posting workflow — from content creation to scheduling — on its own cloud computer.

🧠

Message Your Bot

Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Send a message to your Bot from the desktop app or your iPhone. It runs on its own cloud computer, so it picks up your message, discovers your Pinterest account via Postiz, uploads your media, and schedules the post — then asks you to approve before it goes live.

Grok Bot

You: Post to Pinterest about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
  at 9am

Bot: Got it! Here's the plan:
  1. Find your Pinterest integration
  2. Compose your post content
  3. Schedule for tomorrow 9:00 AM

  Done! Post scheduled successfully.
  Post ID: abc-123

🧠

Routines

Recurring work on a schedule

Save the task as a routine. Your Bot runs it on a schedule from the cloud, checks for new content, and posts it to Pinterest automatically — no manual trigger needed.

Grok Bot routine

Routine: daily-pinterest-posts
Schedule: Weekdays at 9:00 AM

Instructions:
  Check ~/content/posts on your cloud
  computer for new .txt files. For
  each one, read the content and
  schedule a post to Pinterest for
  today at noon via Postiz. Move
  posted files to ~/content/published
  and send me a summary.

✓Terminal access runs Postiz commands directly on the Bot's computer
✓Routines for hands-free daily posting

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your Pinterest integration, uploads your image, selects the right board, and creates the pin with your link and branding.

Claude Code

> Pin my new product image to the
  "Spring Collection" board with a link
  to the product page, use brand color

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./product-image.jpg
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "New spring collection!" \
    -m "uploaded-image-url" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"board":
      "spring-collection-id",
      "title":"Spring Collection",
      "link":"https://shop.example.com
        /spring",
      "dominant_color":"#682EE1"}' \
    -i "pinterest-id"

Pinterest + Other Platforms

Schedule the same image to Pinterest and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Pin to Pinterest and post to Instagram simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Check out our latest design! #design #inspiration" \
  -m "$IMAGE_URL" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "board": "design-inspiration-id",
    "title": "Latest Design Showcase",
    "link": "https://example.com/designs",
    "dominant_color": "#682EE1"
  }' \
  -i "pinterest-id,instagram-id"

# Batch schedule a week of Pinterest pins
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Design tip #$day for the week" \
    -m "tip${day}-image-url" \
    -s "2025-03-0${day}T10:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"board":"design-tips-id","title":"Design Tip '$day'","link":"https://example.com/tips/'$day'"}' \
    -i "pinterest-id"
done
