What they did
A Google software engineer has Grok Bot screen houses for sale. It checks each listing against his price cap, school ratings and the real drive home from work at 5pm in traffic, and looks at Zillow photos, floor plans and sale history. Homes that pass go to his realtor over Slack so they can request disclosure packages, which the bot then reads to estimate repair and upkeep costs around closing. He only sees the homes worth touring.
How it went
A short list of homes that meet every rule, with reasons and rough repair costs.
Worth knowing
- Single post. Sending listings to your realtor automatically means the bot speaks for you, so start with drafts. Repair estimates from photos are rough; get a real inspection.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Watch new home listings in [areas] on [Zillow / Redfin]. For each one, check: price under [$X], at least [beds/baths], school ratings of at least [N], and the drive time to [work address] at 5pm on a weekday. Look at photos, floor plan and sale history for red flags. Send me only the homes that pass, with a one-paragraph reason each. When I give you disclosures, estimate the repair and maintenance costs.
