What they did

A self-represented plaintiff in Texas used Grok Bot over a week, always under her review, to prepare for two default judgment hearings. It arranged print-shop printing, lined up exhibits, helped polish her pleadings and e-filed last-minute proposed orders.

How it went

She was granted both default judgments, for $229,010.57 and $98,477.31. She says she'll probably never collect, but without the bot she might not have had the capacity to pursue them.

Worth knowing

  • She stresses it gave no legal advice and didn't replace an attorney; she reviewed and directed everything.
  • Winning a judgment isn't the same as collecting it.

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.
