What they did

His son had spent almost a year looking for a pair of wrestling shoes that were only made in 2024. In under 30 minutes Grok Bot found 3 pairs in his size in Europe for $195 shipped. It emailed the store to confirm, translated the site and emails, completed the purchase, followed up and got the tracking number.
