What they did

Can a doctor's office use bots safely? An ophthalmologist in Chile runs a team of Grok Bots, each with one job: a chief of staff for calendar, email and WhatsApp; a patient bot that answers messages and gets patients ready before the visit (exams, reports, medicines); a clinic bot for Google reviews, scheduling and follow-ups; plus bots for research, teaching, social media and his wife's law firm website. He says nothing sensitive goes out without his OK.

How it went

Patients who arrive with what they need, and a daily list of what's missing.

Worth knowing

  • List post with no numbers. Patient data has strict privacy rules (like HIPAA in the US); check what your bot is allowed to see and send.

Prompt

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

You help my clinic's front desk. When a patient books, send them a short message listing what to bring (recent exams, reports, list of medicines) and answer simple questions from our FAQ [link]. Each morning, send me a list of tomorrow's patients and what's still missing. Ask happy patients for a Google review after their visit. Never give medical advice and never send anything with health details without my approval.

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.
