What they did

A user connected Grok Bot to his Fitbit. He tells it everything he eats or just sends a photo, and it puts everything in a spreadsheet, tracking sleep, ingredients, steps, activity and heart rate, and correlating his diet with his Fitbit data.

How it went

A spreadsheet that links what he eats to his sleep and activity.

Worth knowing

  • Single user report from a bot-team builder; no results shared. Photo calorie estimates are rough, and this isn't medical advice.

Prompt

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

Be my personal trainer. Connect to my [Fitbit / health app]. When I send a meal (text or photo), log the foods, ingredients and rough calories and protein in a [Google Sheet]. Each morning add last night's sleep, yesterday's steps, activity and heart rate. Every Sunday, show me which eating patterns line up with better sleep and energy, and suggest one change. Flag anything that should go to a doctor instead.

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.
