What they did
XMTP Labs CEO Shane Mac set up a 'CFO' agent in Grok Bot with read-only access to his checking and savings to report balances, recurring expenses, anything suspicious and cost-saving ideas. Its first monthly audit went to his company's Slack 'Exec-team' channel instead of his personal agent group chat with a similar name.
How it went
A monthly finance report; he says it worked weekly before the leak. Grok shipped a fix requiring explicit permission before agents move information to other channels.
Worth knowing
- Cautionary: agents shared the same connections, so a similarly named Slack channel caught a personal report. After the incident he disconnected all his connections.
- Keep work and personal accounts separate, and give finance agents a single allowed destination.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Once a month, using read-only access to my bank accounts, report my balances, this month's expenses, recurring charges, anything that looks fraudulent or suspicious, and ways to cut costs. Send it only to me in this chat, never to any other channel or person.
