What they did

What if your bag comes back wrecked? This user's luggage was lost and then returned badly damaged. They gave their Grok Bot the receipts, emails, policies, photos of the damage and replacement prices. It submitted claims with multiple parties and handled most of the back-and-forth. They say they got about $3,000 with little work on their part.

How it went

Claims filed with every party that owes you, tracked to payout.

Worth knowing

  • One Reddit comment with a rounded total. Airline claims have short deadlines (often 7 days for damage). Some insurers reduce payouts if another party already paid, so tell each one about the others.

Prompt

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

My luggage on [airline, flight, date] was [lost / damaged]. Here are my receipts, photos and the emails. 1) Work out who I can claim from: the airline, my travel insurance, my credit card's travel cover and my home insurance. 2) For each, list the deadline and what proof they need. 3) Draft each claim with the right attachments and show me before sending. 4) Track every reply and draft follow-ups. Never claim the same loss twice in a way that breaks a policy's rules.

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.
