What they did

How do I prepare for a job interview and follow up the right way? His Grok Bot saw the interview on his Google Calendar and prepared him for it. When the interviewer sent an AI transcript and summary afterward, it read that email, listed the key points, reminded him when they said they'd decide, and drafted a thank-you reply for his approval.

How it went

Prep notes before the interview, and a thank-you note plus a decision-date reminder after it.

Worth knowing

  • Short first-hand post. Don't let it send anything to an employer without you reading it first.

Prompt

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

I have a job interview on my calendar with [company]. Before it: research the company and the role, and give me likely questions with short answers from my resume. After it: read any recap or follow-up email from them, list the key points, put the decision date on my calendar with a reminder, and draft a short thank-you email for me to approve before it's sent.

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.
