What they did
He gave Grok Bot full autonomy to find leads: German Shopify stores at roughly €20-100k a month in revenue with complex products. It researched, scored and drafted 20 personalized emails in minutes, but one "mid-size" shop turned out to be a multi-million-euro brand. A re-check showed 17 of the 20 were too big, because private-company revenue is hard to estimate and the bot leaned on brand visibility. His fixes: the bot researches and drafts but never sends without approval, the brief lists explicit disqualifiers, and uncertain signals get marked "unclear" instead of guessed.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Find [number] leads that fit this profile: [industry, location, size range, other signals]. Also apply these disqualifiers: [too big/too small signals, wrong platform, etc.]. For each lead, show the evidence for its size and mark any signal you couldn't confirm as "unclear" instead of guessing. Draft a personalized email for each, but don't send anything. Show me the batch for approval first.
