What they did

In a week comparing Grok Bot and Meta Muse, he describes what each did. Grok Bot made phone calls for him (navigating the menu, holding, then sending a summary). Muse found a $32.17 Costco coupon on its own. When his daughter's formula delivery was late, Grok Bot checked his email every 15 minutes, had a plan B ready, and set an 11 AM deadline to switch to it.

Prompt

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

My [item, e.g. baby formula] order from [store] is late and I need it by [time]. Check my email for delivery updates every [15] minutes. Meanwhile, find a plan B: which nearby stores have it in stock now, and what pickup or same-day delivery would cost. If there's no confirmed delivery by [deadline], message me with the plan B ready to go and wait for my OK before buying.

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.
