What they did
His travel-only Grok Bot compares fares across airlines and nearby airports and hands him the best few options. After booking, it kept watching fares, caught two drops on the same flights, and he repriced both times. It applied a $742 Delta eCredit and keeps track of the $103 left over and when it expires. It also turns confirmation emails into one itinerary, flags tight connections and cancellation deadlines, and logs business trips in his expense sheet.
How it went

- Repricing only pays off on fares that allow free changes, and basic economy usually doesn't.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Be my travel agent. For [trip], compare fares across airlines and nearby airports and give me the best 3. After I book, check the fare [daily] and tell me if the same flights get cheaper so I can reprice. Track my airline credits ([airline] eCredits) with balances and expiry dates and apply them when it makes sense. Turn confirmation emails into one itinerary and flag tight connections and cancellation deadlines. Ask me before you pay, submit, send or cancel anything.
