What they did

A DTC marketer says Grok Bot saves him at least 5 hours a week. It uploads videos to Google Drive, loads and schedules emails in his email platform, builds CRM automations, formats docs, updates tracking sheets, bulk-imports contacts and pulls tasks out of call transcripts. Copywriting, design and market research stay with him.

How it went

Routine marketing admin done every morning, with a short list of anything waiting for your approval.

Worth knowing

  • Single user post with a screenshot. Give the bot test or limited access to your email platform first, so one mistake can't go out to the whole list.

Prompt

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

Each weekday morning: 1) Upload new files in [folder] to [Google Drive folder]. 2) Load the approved emails in [doc] into [email platform] and schedule them for [times]. 3) Update [tracking sheet] with yesterday's numbers from [source]. 4) Read new call transcripts in [Fathom/folder] and list my action items. Don't send emails or change live campaigns without my OK.

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.
