Grok Bot for mobile app development

Six bots, one mobile game studio. How to build, ship, and improve a live app with always-on agents.

The team

Grok Bot is a team of always-on agents with their own computer, memory, routines, and skills. Each bot owns a lane and hands off work to the next bot.

  • Mobile Orchestrator — owns App Store and Google Play, routes work.
  • Analytics — owns paid acquisition and reads what players actually did.
  • Creatives — turns findings into ad specs and renders variants.
  • Rank’em Engineer — owns the app and backend.
  • GCS — handles GKE, certs, deploys, and rollbacks.
  • Bug fix — sweeps Sentry overnight, fixes obvious issues, escalates the rest.

The ROI

Bots read the data, formed a hypothesis, then swapped a party ad for a partner-cut ad after data showed people were playing as couples. Installs dropped from $15 to $1. They also shipped a bonus hint feature that improved D7 retention about 4x.

Why it matters

The most time-consuming part of a live game is the feedback loop between analytics and gameplay. That loop is what the bots own end-to-end, including handoffs, routines, and overnight execution.
