Add and import
Add creates a Bot from a template in the Grok Bot app, and copying a prompt does not.
Why this word exists
Three phrases get mixed together: add, import, and copy prompt. Only add, from a template preview, creates a Bot from someone else’s recipe.
Botski has not found a dedicated Import action in the Grok Bot docs that turns a pasted prompt into a Bot. If a screen says Import, check which product you are in before you trust it.
Where you will meet it
Copying a prompt on bot.ski puts text on your clipboard. Plan your bot does that. Pasting the text into a chat does not press the template’s add control, and it does not install anything.
Grok Build can import settings from another coding tool. That stays in the coding agent. Marketplace → Add for plugins installs a connector or a packaged skill. Neither one is a template from another person’s Bot.
Examples
- You open a template preview and use the add control. The Grok Bot app finishes a copy on your account. That is an add.
- You copy the plan prompt and paste it into a message. You still have zero new Bots.
- You choose New, then Create new Bot. That starts an empty teammate. It is not an import of a text file.
