What they did

Is letting a bot apply for jobs worth it? He had his Grok Bot scan web3 job boards every day for remote ops, marketing, growth, BD and events roles, send him a brief, and package a CV that put his matching experience first. It felt productive, but it landed just 1 interview. Then he posted an open call on X asking who was hiring, and had calls and interviews lined up through the next week. His take: bot applications are still cold outreach, and warm intros worked far better.

How it went

A daily shortlist plus warm-intro drafts and an open-call post, not just cold applications.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post about his own results. Your field may respond differently, but the lesson holds: use the bot to find people who can introduce you, not only to fire off applications.

Prompt

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

Help me job hunt for [role types], [remote / city]. 1) Each morning, send me a short list of new openings from [job boards] that fit, with links. 2) For each one, tell me if I know anyone at that company from my [LinkedIn export / contacts] and draft a short, friendly note asking for an intro. 3) Draft a post for X and LinkedIn saying what I'm looking for and what I'm good at, in my own voice. Don't send or apply to anything 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.
