What they did

A user built a Grok Bot called Apply Desk for job hunting. Every weekday it finds the 5 best new roles from job sites you choose, quoting why each fits; keeps an application tracker updated from Gmail; drafts a tailored resume and cover note from your real experience; writes an interview prep brief the night before; and sends a Sunday review.

How it went

Five daily role picks, a self-updating tracker, draft resumes and interview briefs.

Worth knowing

  • Creator-shared template on the Grok Bot marketplace; no outcome data. It never applies or sends for you, by design.

Prompt

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

Draft a tailored resume and cover note for any role I pick, using only my real experience. The night before each interview on my calendar, write a one-page prep brief.

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.
