Groxbot + Y gy
y.gy is a URL shortener and QR code generator that allows users to create short, memorable links from long URLs, customize them with unique endings, and integrate with an API for programmatic link creation.
How a Bot uses Y gy
8 Y gy tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.
- Use Y gy 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 Y gy settings
- Message anyone outside the Bot thread
First message
Use Y gy for this task. Stay in the thread. Stop if you would change anything live.

Jobs that use Y gy
- 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 Y gy integration?
Connect Y gy under Plugins when it is listed. If not, the Bot still has a real computer — it can work in Y gy in the browser the way you would, then stop when it needs a login or approval.
Can a Bot change live Y gy data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Y gy 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.
