What they did

He says his Grok Bot phoned Jeju Air and spoke with a human agent in Korean to rebook his flight. The airline wouldn't make the change because the caller wasn't the passenger.

How it went

A summary of the airline's options and fees, or clear steps you must do yourself.

Worth knowing

  • Airlines and banks often deal only with the passenger or account holder. Grok Bot needs a calling connector to make phone calls. Be ready to join the call or use the airline's app.

Prompt

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

Call [airline] at [number] about booking [reference] for [passenger name]. Ask what options I have to change to [new date or time] and what it costs. If they need to speak to the passenger, ask whether I can authorise you on the call or what I must do myself. Don't agree to any charges; report back with what they said.

Recommended

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.
