What they did

A blogger asked Chrome auto browse to get written quotes from three local plumbers for a water heater replacement using the contact forms on their sites, and to send nothing until he had reviewed it.

How it went

It found four plumber sites, filled in three forms with his address and a description of the job, and stopped at each Send button. He edited two of the descriptions and approved them. Quotes arrived the next morning.

Worth knowing

  • Check which sites get your home address before you approve each form.
  • He called this the test where he most expected an embarrassing mistake. The pause before sending is what made it safe.

Prompt

Original prompt, as posted by the author.

Grok Bot One-Shot a 17-Page Solar Permit Drawing Set in Under 5 Minutes

An engineer gave Grok Bot his house drawings, the original solar plans and a Powerwall expansion permit (mostly PDFs plus DXF files). When a contractor was slow to quote, he asked the bot if it could do the job; it asked for a few numbers, then produced a 17-page B-size permit drawing package in under 5 minutes, including a roof layout and one-line wiring drawings made from scratch. He checked every line and planned to submit after getting a PE stamp for the structural parts.
