What they did

Can a bot handle a warranty claim when you've lost the receipt? Two of his Milwaukee tools were acting up: a saw about 2 years old and a drill more than 7 years old. He couldn't find either receipt in his email. His Grok Bot found both in his Home Depot Pro Xtra purchase history in under a minute, then filed two service tickets on Milwaukee's site (he typed his own password). It told him one repair was fully covered by warranty and the other would cost at most $93. It confirmed his address, processed both returns and sent the shipping labels to his home printer. He did it all by voice at his son's football game.

How it went

Receipts found, service tickets filed, return labels printed, and tracking until the tools come back.

Worth knowing

  • One user's X post, no screenshots. It worked because his store loyalty account kept years of receipts; without proof of purchase a brand may refuse. Type passwords yourself and approve any repair cost before it's accepted.

Prompt

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

Two of my [brand] tools need repair: [tool 1, about how old] and [tool 2, about how old]. 1) Find the purchase receipts in my [store loyalty account / email]. 2) Open a warranty or service request on [brand]'s website for each one. Stop and let me type my own password. 3) Tell me which repair is covered and the most I'd pay for any that isn't, and wait for my OK. 4) Confirm my shipping address, get the return labels and send them to my printer. 5) After I drop the tools off, track both shipments there and back and tell me when they're on the way home.

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.
