What they did
After he booked a hotel for a family trip with his parents and in-laws, his Grok Bot noticed the confirmation email didn't show the number of rooms and suggested asking for written verification. It wrote to the hotel's managing director in Turkish, then sent a follow-up with his phone number. The hotel called within 20 minutes, said it was happy to accommodate the group and lowered the price. The bot also turned the replies to his X post into a printable itinerary and checked museum opening times. He says weeks of work took a few hours.

The price cut came from the hotel's goodwill, not a promise. Ask for the new price in writing
