Build an email inbox app for the bot's address

Reported experience

1. 1

   What they did

   The poster made a Grok Bot template that, after the user adds it and approves access, signs in to Vercel and Supabase on free plans and builds an inbox app for the bot’s @mail.grokbot.com address. The bot then claims the inbox, creates the database, deploys the app to the user’s own Vercel, sets up a sync routine, tests it, and returns the app link and password; the poster says the original build took 23 minutes with zero code.

   How it went

   The result was a desktop-and-phone mail app with inbox, sent, drafts, archive, trash, starred, auto-categories, search, compose/reply, and extracted login codes. Limits the post names are that replies send on the next sync rather than instantly, and xAI had not published bot-email sending or storage limits.

   Worth knowing

   You still have to approve access and sign in to both Vercel and Supabase yourself, and the app’s mail data lives in your own accounts rather than the poster’s.
