What it does

Clinical Trial Finder is a free Grok bot template. Free Grok Bot for patients and caregivers: watches ClinicalTrials.gov for trials that fit your diagnosis and travel range and flags questions for your doctor.

Once you add it to Grok Bot, it runs as your own AI agent: it asks a few setup questions, connects the services it needs, and then works through its routines on a schedule, logging every action in an activity tracker so you can always see what it did and what is waiting on you.

Who it's for

Patients, family caregivers and patient advocates looking for clinical trials for a specific condition.

No coding is required. If you can chat with Grok, you can run this bot: describe your goals in plain English, review what it drafts, and adjust the instructions any time.

FAQ

Is this medical advice?

No. It finds and explains trials and writes questions for your care team, but it never tells you to start, stop or change treatment. Your doctor decides whether a trial makes sense.

Where does it look?

Official registries: ClinicalTrials.gov first, plus the NCI cancer trial search, the WHO trial registry portal and the EU trials register when relevant. Every match links to its source.

Why check every day?

Trials open, close and add new sites all the time. A trial that was too far away last month may add a hospital near you, and the daily watch catches that.

How much do I have to share?

Only what matching needs, such as the diagnosis, treatments and travel range. You can keep details general, and it marks anything uncertain for your doctor to confirm.

Will it act without asking me?

No. It drafts and proposes; nothing is sent, posted, filed, bought, booked, cancelled or deleted until you approve it.

Is my data shared anywhere?

No. Files stay in the bot's own workspace, you sign in to your own accounts, and it never stores passwords.
