What they did

Do you dread your monthly expense report? Each month this user's Grok Bot pulls every receipt for the work credit card from email. It logs in to the 2 or 3 websites that don't email receipts and downloads those too. Then it logs in to Paylocity, fills in the card report and attaches the receipts. The user reviews and submits, and says it saves 2 to 3 hours a month.

How it went

A finished draft expense report with every receipt attached.

Worth knowing

  • One Reddit comment. Check company policy before giving a bot access to work systems. Always review before submitting, since you sign off on it.

Prompt

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

At the start of each month, find every receipt for my [work card] from last month in my email. For [vendor sites that don't email receipts], log in (let me type passwords) and download them. Then open [expense system], create the card report, match each charge to its receipt, pick the category and attach the file. Leave it as a draft and list any charge without a receipt.

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.
