What they did

Behind on business paperwork and losing sleep? He found out his LLC had unfiled sales tax returns and a lapsed registration. Over 2 weeks his Grok Bot agents found the documents, filed every return, reinstated the LLC and opened business banking. He just logged in when they asked. The state confirmed he owes $0 with no penalties.

How it went

A list of missing filings, returns ready to submit, and a reinstated business.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. Owing $0 depends on having had little or no taxable sales. Check with a tax professional if you owe money.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

My LLC [name] in [state] may have unfiled sales tax returns and a lapsed registration. 1) Find what's missing on the state sites and list every filing with its deadline. 2) Gather the sales records I need from [sources]. 3) Prepare each return for my review; I'll log in when needed. 4) Walk me through reinstating the LLC. Don't submit anything without my OK.

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
