What they did

His Submittals bot pulls equipment lists from drawings, builds the product data package in his set order, fills equipment schedules and builds point lists. When a submittal comes back, it drafts a reply to every engineer comment (29 on one recent job), citing the exact note or spec section, and turns them into a response letter and a revision checklist. Other bots write QuickBooks purchase orders and keep a 12-month cash forecast, and nothing goes to a customer or vendor without his approval or a standing OK.

Prompt

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

Here is a returned submittal with reviewer comments and the project spec: [attach]. For each comment, draft a reply that cites the exact spec section or drawing note, says whether we'll revise, and what changes. Then give me a response letter and a checklist of revisions. Mark any comment where the spec is unclear so I can decide. Don't send anything.

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.
