What they did

Tired of 20 open tabs while car shopping? This user had their Grok Bot search for vehicles that match their criteria and keep a spreadsheet of what it found, with details and clickable links. They've also had it pay a few bills on sites where the card is already saved, so the bot never sees the card number, and they're testing virtual cards with limits for shopping.

How it went

A live spreadsheet of matching cars with links and price-drop alerts.

Worth knowing

  • One Reddit comment. Listings go stale fast, so check the car still exists before you drive out. Get a vehicle history report and an inspection before buying.

Prompt

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

Find [used / new] cars that match: [make/model or type], [year range], under [miles], under [$], within [distance] of [zip]. Put each one in a spreadsheet with price, miles, year, trim, location, dealer or private seller, and the link. Check [daily] for new listings and price drops and message me about any that beat the current best. Don't contact sellers without asking.

Recommended

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
