What they did

What can a bot clear off a busy parent's list in one day? A homeschool mom of 3 says Grok Bot found over $3,500 a year in subscriptions, dealt with 2 past-due bills, submitted out-of-network superbills to her insurer, placed a Jewel-Osco grocery pickup order and moved the family chore system into her Skylight calendar. She hopes the superbills bring back $2,000 to $4,000, but that money hasn't arrived yet.

How it went

A subscription list, past-due bills handled, insurance claims ready for your review, a grocery cart and chores on the family calendar.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. The $5,500-7,500 total is her own estimate, and the $2-4K insurance money hadn't been paid yet. Insurers can deny out-of-network claims, so keep copies of every superbill.

Prompt

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

Go through my email and accounts and help me catch up on family admin. 1) List every subscription with its price and when it was last used. 2) Find any bills that are past due and tell me what's owed and the fastest way to pay. 3) Find out-of-network medical visits that have superbills and draft the insurance claims for me to review before you submit. 4) Build a grocery pickup order at [store] from this list: [list]. Stop before checkout. 5) Put our chore chart into [calendar app] as recurring events.

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.
