What they did

Driving home from a Supercharger before five weeks of FMLA leave, the author asked Grok (in the car) to work with their Grok Bot team: add leave to the calendar, clear 24 existing events, email every participant, and build a Wed–Fri todo list before leave started — hours of admin in about 20 minutes of driving.

How it went

Author cites clearing 24 committed events plus participant emails and a pre-leave todo list during a ~20 min drive. No screenshots in the post

Worth knowing

  • Always approve outbound emails before send — especially leave notices.
  • Double-check time zones and shared calendars so you do not cancel someone else's holds.
  • Author cites clearing 24 committed events plus participant emails and a pre-leave todo list during a ~20 min drive. No screenshots in the post.

Prompt

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

I am going on leave from [start date] to [end date] for [reason]. Add the leave block to my calendar, find every meeting in that window, draft cancellation or reschedule emails to each participant (do not send until I approve), and make a short todo list of what I must finish before leave starts. Confirm the event count with me before changing anything.

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.
