What they did

His favorite AI use is a Grok Bot diary. Each night it goes through his work and personal calendars, texts, photos and emails, and follows up on what the family is doing. With his wife away at a conference, it asked how his time with his daughter went. Everything goes into Obsidian. He's done it for a few weeks and looks forward to it every night.

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.
