What they did

An Oregon mom asked Grok Bot to cite state privacy law in every data-broker removal email. It looked up the statute text and drafted a follow-up to her open Spokeo request with the legal wording included. She just pressed Send. Under the law, the company has 45 days to respond.

How it went

A removal email that quotes your state's privacy law and its response deadline.

Worth knowing

  • Single user story, but detailed (ORS 646A.574, 646A.576(4), 45-day deadline). It only works in states with a privacy law; check the statute yourself before quoting it.

Prompt

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

I live in [state]. Find out whether my state has a consumer privacy law that gives me the right to delete my data and opt out of its sale. If it does, quote the exact sections and deadlines. Then draft a deletion and opt-out request for [people-search site] that cites that law, using my name [name] and the listing URL [link]. Let me review it before it's sent.

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.
