What they did

A user had Grok Bot email the council and private contractors about industrial bins; it found the bins were already included in their rates and got them delivered the next day.

How it went

Self-reported X anecdote with low engagement; outcome (bins already in rates + next-day delivery) is the author's claim. Confirm local rules before ordering

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.
