8 HIDDEN GROK COMMANDS THAT 90% OF USERS DON’T KNOW

Most people use GROK like this:
“Write a post,”
“Make a list,”
“Explain this…”

But if you’re doing that, you’re missing out on 90% of its real power.

Here are 8 advanced commands that will make GROK work at its full potential:

None of that is hidden or specific to Grok. Strong prompt engineering skills are important skills to have these days for any IT engineer.

You’re likely not being specific enough in your programming it for the answers you are looking for. Your second issue is that you even use Windows.

I’ve told GROK “No predictive analysis, just facts”. I get facts and no long drawn out interpretation.

I’m quite specific in my questions. They’re not that technical. How can I make Windows default to List rather than Details? How can I prevent Edge from loading in every boot up? Other simple matters.

Yeah, Grok is very good at understanding specific instructions like that. I work details like that into my research too, and ask it to print sources of all external references.

Does it ever get things wrong though, and do something you didn’t want?

These things are great, unless lots of “false positives” happen.

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled 8 HIDDEN GROK COMMANDS THAT 90% OF USERS DON’T KNOW. Here are 8 advanced commands that will make GROK work at its full potential:, Angelino97 wrote:
Grok OFTEN gets things wrong.

Over half the time, when I ask how to do something in Windows 11 or some other program, it gives me a wrong answer. Which Grok admits after I say it didn't work.

I'll ask how to do something in Windows 11. Grok responds. I try it. Doesn't work. I tell Grok.

Then Grok says, "That's correct. Windows 11 shut down that feature on so-and-so date. Sorry for the outdated answer. But here's what you can do ...

Then it gives me another faulty answer.

Once I went through 3 or 4 incorrect answers with Grok, including changing the registry. Grok remained friendly and chatty. "Yeah, that's a tough one. Windows 11 really resists changing that feature. But here's something else you can try..."

But by then I had it with Grok. I just walked away.

Grok is sometimes helpful, but often not.

Silly, how some Freepers treat Grok's answers like Moses coming down from the mountain.

To reduce the kind of problems you've had, I gradually figure out what specifications to add. For example, I ask for sources from the past year. I ask GROK to list sources so I can check them. I sometimes ask Grok to repeat the report and remove ALCU or NPR. I sometimes specify the types of sources I want (provide a list). SOmetimes I ask for more than one solution and then I check out the publications Grok listed to see if I agree.

I appreciate Grok writing letters for me. I still read through the letters and make any changes I want. I prepared a letter for a friend - she gave me criteria which I gave to grok. I then asked it to write a letter as a concerned citizen against a certain building project. I told grok to locate other cities which this builder has worked in and provide any objections to the builder's work. BINGO. Fantastic show stopping letter properly formatted for immediate delivery to the board - in about 30 seconds.

There is still an active human component - I look at it for things missing or things I don't want etc. Sometimes I ask a few questions and then have Grok synthesize it into one document after I've seen all the details in the earlier responses.

A time saver was giving GROK a pile of medical posts and links to FR on numerous topics and having Grok provide a tidy, organized list in response.

Here's the beastly pile of helpful comments and links from helpful FReepers:

Here's the convenient, organized list Grok created in about 40 seconds while I sipped coffee:

Of course it gets things wrong occasionally, just like a human!

Right now, for example Tesla FSD is about 5 times better than a human driver.
How do we know? The miles driven on FSD are recorded, and during the miles, there was an accident every 5 M miles. The average for humans is 1 M miles. Eventually, it will get to 20 M miles or higher.

I'd question those figures, for humans. Per the AAA Foundation

Ok, so i am being generous to humans - the actual is far less than 1M...more like 500-600k miles between accidents (of all kinds).

Think about your drives in heavy traffic and how any stupid mistakes you see people make. Other drivers compensate for most of them, until they don’t.

I have a model Y with FSD, and about 6K miles on it, driving ~ 45 min in Dallas traffic 2x a workday. The other day, a car pulled out right in front of me (I was going about 60 Mph). They obviously didn’t see me. The car swerved and avoided the accident - it was so fast it was done before I could react myself. That probably would have been an accident had i been driving, and definitely if i had not been paying close attention.

Oh, and don’t forget about all the distracted and drunk drivers. I routinely see people looking at their cell phones in heavy traffic.
