Give your AI agent new tools
“My agent can't reach the docs, data or app it needs.”
Connectors (often called MCP servers), small command-line tools, or a folder of clean docs let an agent do much more. Add one tool at a time and check what it can touch.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Name the one thing the agent keeps getting wrong because it can't see it (docs, a database, an app).
- Add the smallest tool that fixes that: a connector, a script, or a cleaned-up docs folder.
- Test with a real task and review exactly what the tool lets it read or change.
Copy this prompt
I want you to be able to [read our docs / query X / use app Y]. Suggest the simplest way: a connector, a small script, or a local docs folder. List what each option could read or change. Set up only the read-only version first and show me a test run. Stop before giving it any write access.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.

Best for: Chores that repeat — done for you
The easiest AI helper for everyday people: show it a chore once — a morning brief, checking a bill, watching for a refund — and it keeps doing it while you're away, checking in only when it needs your OK. Works from the Grok app on your phone and computer (beta).
