What they did

A user's Grok Bot planned a surprise weekend for his wife. It found the Boston Philharmonic's 9th at Symphony Hall and got orchestra seats, booked United flights and seats with his PreCheck number, and found a Back Bay studio a few blocks from the hall. It checks every week whether first class gets cheaper, and scheduled an Uber Black from Logan timed to his tracked flight. "All I did was say yes."

How it went

Concert seats, flights, a nearby studio and an airport ride, all booked after he said yes.

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.
