What they did

A Chinese-speaking user in Japan has a Grok Bot "dining butler" for lunch. It checks recommended restaurants' photos on Instagram and their seasonal menus, translates them into a Chinese menu with pictures, and picks where to eat around his other appointments, even whether his car will fit and where to park.

How it went

A daily lunch shortlist with translated, photo menus that fits around your schedule.

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.
