What they did

Is signing kids up for things a chore in your house? This parent's Grok Bot watches the kids' school chats and calendars and adds every special event, snack day or dress-up day to the calendar with the child's name. The local library's website is painful for signing up for after-school activities, so when the kids want to go, the parent just tells the bot to do it and add it to the calendar. Every Saturday it also sends a 7-day meal plan and shopping list.

How it went

Library sign-ups done and every kid event on the family calendar.

Worth knowing

  • One Reddit comment, no figures. Some library sites limit sign-ups per card, so check the confirmation email.

Sign [child] up for [library event] on [date] at [library website], using my library account. Stop and let me log in myself. Then add it to our family calendar with [child]'s name and a reminder [an hour] before. Also, watch the school messages and add any special days to the calendar with the right child's name.

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.
