Groxbot + U301
U301 provides an API to manage all U301 resources, currently under development.
How a Bot uses U301
3 U301 tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.
- Use U301 the way you would: open it, do the task, come back with evidence.
- Work stays in the Bot thread. Anything leaving Groxbot needs your OK.
- If it hits a login, 2FA, or a paywall, it stops on the computer for you.
Never without you
- Change live U301 settings
- Message anyone outside the Bot thread
First message
Use U301 for this task. Stay in the thread. Stop if you would change anything live.
Tools a Bot can call
A sample from the U301 toolkit. The Bot calls these after you connect. Writes that would go live still wait for approval.
- Delete a shortened link
- List available domains for URL shortening
- Shorten a long URL
Jobs that use U301
- Talent scout — Source candidates from the brief. Never email anyone without approval. End with a shortlist and why.
- Bug reproduction — Reproduce the bug from the report. Write steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture. Do not change production.
- Chief of staff — A source-linked digest of Slack, inbox, calendar, and notes — only the items that map to this week’s priorities. Does not send. Does not move meetings.

FAQ
Does Groxbot have a native U301 integration?
Connect U301 under Plugins when it is listed. If not, the Bot still has a real computer — it can work in U301 in the browser the way you would, then stop when it needs a login or approval.
Can a Bot change live U301 data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live U301 writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
