What they did

Is a group chat app the thing you keep missing? A mom of 3 kept missing messages in her kids' football team GroupMe. She asked her Grok Bot how to live without checking all these apps. Its answer: you talk only to me, and I go into the apps for you. Then it helped her set that up. She shares the prompt: "I'm tired of apps and I want no app life. What else can you do to help me with that?"

How it went

One place to hear about everything from the apps you keep missing.

Worth knowing

  • One X post. She runs a sales AI training business, but this post is a personal tip. Not every app has a connector, so the bot may need to use a browser.

Prompt

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

I'm tired of apps and I want no app life. What else can you do to help me with that? Start with [GroupMe / team app]: check it [twice a day], tell me only what needs me (times, changes, things to bring), and add dates to my calendar.

Recommended

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.
