Grok Bot share link not working

The x.ai/bot link shows a 404, won't open, or “Add to Grok Bot” does nothing. Seven checks, most of them on the link itself.

1. ✓Mark step 1 as done

   1. Check the link is complete

   A share link is https://x.ai/bot/ followed by a 21-character id of letters, digits, - and _, for example https://x.ai/bot/Ub3T7usX-c6yRQibQq83P. Links pasted from X or chat apps often lose their last characters or pick up a trailing word. Count the id, or paste the link into our directory search to see whether we know the bot.

2. ✓Mark step 2 as done

   2. A 404 means the link was turned off

   After publishing, a creator can choose Delete Template, which turns off the link. Nothing on your side brings it back.

3. ✓Mark step 3 as done

   3. Team-only links open only for that team

   Templates can be published publicly or for a team. “A team-only link opens only for members of your team,” per the docs. If a colleague sent you a link from their company's workspace, ask them for a public link, or whether their admin allows public templates at all.

4. ✓Mark step 4 as done

   4. “Add to Grok Bot” does nothing: install the app

   The button on the share page hands the template to the Grok Bot app; it doesn't add anything in the browser. The recipient “can choose Add to Grok Bot. They need the Grok Bot app to finish adding it.” If the app isn't installed, use the Download link on the share page, sign in, then open the link again.

   Why it happens: On the share pages we checked, the button opens a grokbot:// app link. Browsers do nothing visible with that kind of link when no app is registered to handle it.
5. ✓Mark step 5 as done

   5. Check you're signed in to an account with Grok Bot

   The app needs an account that includes Grok Bot: Premium, Super or Ultra on The X Subscription, a paid legacy Cursor plan, or a linked SuperGrok or X Premium+ subscription. Grok Bot signs in with your Cursor account, not the Grok app. If you have several accounts, make sure the app is on the right one; our plan guide covers access.

6. ✓Mark step 6 as done

   6. Rule out an x.ai problem

   If no share link opens at all, check the Share links row on our status page. We load real share pages from our directory on every check.

7. ✓Mark step 7 as done

   7. It opened, but the Bot doesn't work

   That's usually setup, not the link. A template copy has to reinstall its plugins on your account, and custom MCP servers, scripts and code aren't included. See what you get and what you don't in adding a bot from a share link.
