What they did

Invited to a summit in Reno, he had never booked his own flights. He asked Grok Bot in Japanese. It compared flights and fares on the airlines' own sites, reworked the connection when he asked to arrive earlier, took his card through a secure form and helped with the 2FA code. It booked for 2 people in one chat and is now lining up hotels for the next leg.

How it went

Flights compared and booked for everyone in one chat, in your language.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. Have every passenger's name exactly as on their passport before booking.

Prompt

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

Book flights for [2] people from [city] to [city] on [dates], arriving by [time]. Compare fares on the airlines' own sites and show me the best 2-3 options with times, stops and total price. Use my card from the secure form, tell me when you need a 2FA code, and confirm with me before paying.

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.
