Prompt

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

For each new refund request in [helpdesk], read the ticket and the customer's order history, check it against our refund policy: [paste policy], and recommend approve, partial or deny with the policy line that applies. Draft the reply to the customer. Put everything in a queue for me to approve, and never issue a refund yourself. Every hour, alert me if refund requests or a single issue spike above [threshold].

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.
