What they did

After a few weeks with Grok Bot, he listed what it really did. It helped get his 282-page book live on Amazon (cover, interior checks, listing, ISBN), built and deployed the book's website, submitted 36 job applications while he slept, kept his Aldi list straight in the store, and got second opinions from Claude. What it couldn't do was make money on its own. He says every 'my bot made $10K' post he checked was a course sale or a real product.

Prompt

Help me publish my book on Amazon KDP: check the interior file for formatting problems, check the cover meets KDP specs for [trim size, page count], draft the listing (title, subtitle, description, keywords, categories), and walk me through getting an ISBN. Then build a simple one-page site for the book. Show me everything before anything is published.
