What they did

She asked her Grok Bot to only show her options she could pick from herself, then approved potty bells for her dog. The bot confirmed the $17.95 total matched what she approved, gave a Nov 2-9 delivery window, and said it will message her when the bells ship, go out for delivery and arrive.

How it went

X post by @MarsHomestead (Oct 29, 2026 UTC): potty bells ordered; $17.95 total matched the approved price; ship/delivery updates promised. Ask the bot to stop if the checkout total differs from what you approved, for example because of tax or shipping
