What they did

xAI's mobile app guide describes a small studio (Rank'em) running six Grok Bots. An analytics bot runs routines at 7:10 PM and 6:30 AM Central and on Mondays, and a recorded skill lets a bot work in the Meta ads interface. The guide claims cost per install fell from $15 to $1 and day-7 retention rose about 4x. Those are vendor-reported figures with no independent check.

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.
