Get started

How a Bot uses Dictionary Api

1 Dictionary Api tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.

  • Use Dictionary Api the way you would: open it, do the task, come back with evidence.
  • Work stays in the Bot thread. Anything leaving Groxbot needs your OK.
  • If it hits a login, 2FA, or a paywall, it stops on the computer for you.

Never without you

  • Change live Dictionary Api settings
  • Message anyone outside the Bot thread

First message

Use Dictionary Api for this task. Stay in the thread. Stop if you would change anything live.

Tools a Bot can call

Jobs that use Dictionary Api

  • Talent scout — Source candidates from the brief. Never email anyone without approval. End with a shortlist and why.
  • Bug reproduction — Reproduce the bug from the report. Write steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture. Do not change production.
  • Chief of staff — A source-linked digest of Slack, inbox, calendar, and notes — only the items that map to this week’s priorities. Does not send. Does not move meetings.

FAQ

Does Groxbot have a native Dictionary Api integration?

Connect Dictionary Api under Plugins when it is listed. If not, the Bot still has a real computer — it can work in Dictionary Api in the browser the way you would, then stop when it needs a login or approval.

Can a Bot change live Dictionary Api data?

Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Dictionary Api writes wait for you.

Do I need a workflow builder?

No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
