What they did

A product designer at Instagram runs about 15 Grok Bot agents. One is his home butler: it grabbed an anniversary omakase table when reservations dropped at midnight, booked SFO airport parking, switched his internet provider and sorted out a DMV mess.

How it went

A short report on each errand, with bookings made and anything that needs your signature.

Worth knowing

  • Single user post. For DMV and ISP changes, the bot may need ID details or a signature from you; never send ID photos over unsecured email.

Prompt

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

You're my home butler. This week: 1) [Restaurant] releases tables at midnight [date]; book [2] for [date and time] the moment they open. 2) Book airport parking at [airport] for [dates]. 3) Compare internet plans at my address and switch me if one is cheaper for the same speed (ask first). 4) Sort out [DMV issue] and tell me what you need from me. Report back on each.

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.
