Summary

The creator now goes through one primary 'chief of staff' (COS) Grok Bot, which hands tasks off to his other specialized Grok Bots. He says making the COS bot primary was mainly a UX change, but it greatly improved how he works with his bots.

Key points

• Use one primary orchestrator bot (a 'chief of staff') as your single point of contact.
• The orchestrator delegates tasks to specialized sub-bots.
• Making the orchestrator the primary interface is mostly a UX change, but it greatly improved his workflow.
