Grok Bot
BrowserMCP
Grok Bot is xAI's fleet of always-on cloud agents. Each bot has a cloud computer with a browser and terminal, so it can sign in to HighLevel as a staff user or call the HighLevel MCP server from its terminal. There is no documented approval system yet, so start it read-only.
Best HighLevel jobs
- Stale deal rescue: find quiet estimates and draft follow-ups
- Missed-call audits from call logs
- Research-heavy prospect lists
Setup
- Create a limited HighLevel staff user for the bot.
- Have the bot sign in through its cloud browser, or store a token in its environment and call the HighLevel MCP from its terminal.
- Save the routine as a workflow and re-run it, for example: "Audit yesterday's missed calls and list callbacks."
Instinct (Spear Street Technology)
Instinct
InboxBrowser
Instinct is a texting-first personal agent you reach through iMessage, WhatsApp or a call. It has no documented MCP or API connectors, so the practical route to HighLevel is to send lead alerts to the Gmail it watches and store a limited staff login in its Vault. Read its data terms before connecting client accounts.
Best HighLevel jobs
- Owner-on-the-go lead alerts by text
- Quick replies from HighLevel while on a job
- Personal errands alongside business tasks
Setup
- Have HighLevel workflows email or text new-lead alerts to the Gmail account Instinct watches.
- Store a limited HighLevel staff login in Instinct's Vault.
- Text it: "When a lead alert arrives, reply from HighLevel and tag the contact 'contacted'."
