Building Grok Bots for Real Business Workflows
Justin Fortier (FYC Labs) & Sedale Turbovsky (Modern Zen)
The Nook at Granite City · 705 Gold Lake Dr, Suite 390
Most businesses have at least one workflow that eats hours every week and follows the same steps each time. That is where a bot earns its keep. Justin Fortier (FYC Labs) and Sedale Turbovsky (Modern Zen, founder of OpenGrants) walk through building and deploying Grok-powered bots for real business workflows.
This is a working session, not a product pitch: you'll see how a bot goes from a repeatable task to something running in a business.
What you'll learn
- How to pick a workflow that is actually worth automating with a bot
- How a Grok-powered bot is put together, from instructions to the tools it can use
- What deploying a bot involves, and what to check before you trust it with real work
- Where a human should stay in the loop so the bot helps instead of creating cleanup
Who it's for
Founders, operators, and team leads who have a repeatable process in mind and want to see a bot built around it. Comfort with everyday business software is enough; you don't need to be a developer.
