What they did

He got a parking ticket in Albuquerque, took a few photos and handed them to Grok Bot with no instructions. It found grounds to contest the ticket, built an evidence packet, emailed the city before the deadline and kept checking for a reply. The next morning the city wrote back that it had sent the ticket to the Parking Supervisor to have it voided. He never opened a browser.

Prompt

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

I got a parking ticket in [city]. Here are photos of the ticket, the spot and any signs. Read the ticket and the city's appeal rules, tell me whether I have real grounds to contest it, and if I do, put together a short evidence packet. Show me the appeal email before you send it to the right city address, send it before the deadline, then keep an eye on my inbox and tell me when they reply.

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.
