Six-bot mobile game studio (official guide)
Official Grok Bot field guide: six named bots running a live mobile game studio (Rank'em), with overnight handoffs, teach-a-task for ad UIs when APIs stall, and a hard split between who may declare findings, who writes creatives, and who ships code.

The problem the roster solves
Building the game client is maybe 15% of the job. The rest is user acquisition, creative fatigue, live ops, store release, and incident response. The guide maps those seats and assigns each to a bot with its own job description, connections, computer work, routines, skills, and handoffs.
The six seats
| Bot | Owns |
|---|---|
| Mobile Orchestrator | App Store / Play routing; manager seat |
| Analytics Agent | Paid acquisition + what players did; only bot allowed to declare a finding |
| Creatives Agent | Ad specs and variants from findings; never buys media |
| Rank'em Engineer | App + backend; takes findings as specs |
| GCS agent | GKE, certs, deploys, rollbacks; gate to players |
| Bug fix Agent | Overnight Sentry sweep; fixes obvious, escalates the rest |
Steal the shape even if your product is not a mobile game: one orchestrator, one evidence seat, one creative seat, one build seat, one infra seat, one overnight QA seat.
Building one bot (Analytics pattern)
- 1. Job description, lane + refusals ("never write creative, never touch app code").
- 2. Connections, Meta Ads, AppLovin, Adjust, PostHog, stores, Sentry (or your stack). Ask before working around a missing tool.
- 3. Computer, click through dashboards on the bot machine on a schedule.
- 4. Routines, nightly spend/CPI recap; morning funnel check; weekly CPI vs revenue rollup.
- 5. Skills, recorded Meta / AppLovin report exports when APIs are blocked.
- 6. Handoffs, winners/losers to Creatives; product findings to Engineer as specs; human go before spend.
Teach-a-task when the API is stuck
The guide's Meta Ads API was blocked on verification. The author recorded uploading a creative in the web UI once. The bot reused the click-path daily. Use that pattern for any high-value UI without a clean API.
Overnight handoffs
Bots message each other without routing every step through you. Routines can start as one-off bedtime asks and get promoted to standing remits when the bot notices the pattern.
Soft-hedge on results
The writeup reports about a 15× CPI improvement (party ad → partner-cut ad) and about a 4× D7 retention lift from a hint feature. Those are author-reported outcomes for Rank'em. Treat them as a case study, not a guarantee for your title.
What to steal for your roster
- Permission lines: who may declare a finding, who may spend, who may ship.
- Findings as specs, not vibes, when they cross into engineering.
- Overnight bug sweep with escalation, not silent merges to players.
- Scale seats only after the feedback loop between analytics and product works.
Do not install someone else's ad stack onto your account from this page. Build your own seats with your connectors and your spend approvals.
