What they did

How does a one-person lawn business find customers? His Grok Bot team helped him get 5 new lawn clients in a week. They mapped 272 houses into 10 walking loops for door hangers (he dropped 200 flyers on Sunday), built a list of 21 HOAs to pitch for fall cleanups, cut some bills and trimmed how often his bots check in to save credits.

How it went

Ready-to-walk flyer routes, a door-hanger draft and a list of HOAs to pitch.

Worth knowing

  • Short first-hand post; we can't tell how many of the 5 clients came from the flyers. Check local rules on door hangers (no mailboxes in the US).

Track which loops I've done and any calls that come in.

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.
