Grok Bot private training for a VC firm's Hong Kong team
Published:
Short answer: I'm Sam Wong, and I run private, closed-door Grok Bot training for company teams in Hong Kong, built on each team's own work. In November 2026 I ran one for the Hong Kong team of a U.S. venture capital (VC) investment firm. No demos. We worked on their own week. By the end, most of the team had Bots producing work on their own accounts, and one of their weekly jobs had been built as a Bot, on practice data.
New to Grok Bot? My setup post covers what it is and whether you can use it in Hong Kong.
Not a demo. Their week.
Most AI training starts with someone else's example. This one started with theirs.
The team brought the jobs they repeat every week. Most of them live in Excel.
The cases we used came from people who already work this way, in investing and fund operations.
Use case 1: the weekly listed-company page
Every week, someone on the team builds a view of listed companies by hand.
The room picked this job because it needed no real company data. We built it together. Before the session ended, the finished page landed in my inbox as a PDF.
Same job. Now it is a Bot they can run again on real data when they are ready.
Use case 2: the jobs they want to hand over next
When we asked what to hand over next, two jobs came up:
- Tracking which counterparties have returned signed documents. Today that ends in a spreadsheet updated by hand.
- A monthly summary of invoice emails, instead of searching them one by one.
These are the next Bots. We follow them up with the team after the session.
What they left with
- Bots on their own accounts. Not on mine.
- One weekly job, already built as a Bot.
- A way to keep Bots in order. Two Bots are easy. Ten are not. The line I left on the screen: "As you have more and more Bots, what keeps them stable is how you manage them."
- Support after the session, so the first weeks of real use are not on their own.
The questions that mattered
The hardest questions were not about prompts. They were about reach.
- If I connect one SharePoint folder, can the Bot read the others too?
- How do I switch a connector off?
- Can a Bot send something without asking me?
To me, that is exactly where a firm like this should start.
One fact for any Hong Kong company: Grok Bot computers run in the United States today. Check your data policy before anything else. If you are unsure what counts as sensitive, start with my traffic-light test.
What happens next
No time saved is claimed yet. We will time the weekly job before and after, and check back on which Bots the team kept using. When those answers come in, I will add them here.
Want this for your team?
Every team's week is different. That is the point.
Tell me your team size, the AI tools your company approves, and one task your people repeat every week. We start from there: corporate AI training in Hong Kong.
AI isn't a tool you use. It's a team you lead.
FAQ
Can the session be built around our own work?
Yes. It starts from the tasks your people already repeat every week.
Does each person need their own Grok Bot access?
Yes. Each person needs a plan that includes Grok Bot, set up before the session. My setup post lists the plans that include it.
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok?
No. Grok answers questions. Grok Bot runs named Bots that do multi-step work on a cloud computer.
