What they did

A mom of two had a pile of saved Facebook recipe Reels and no meal plan. She sent the links to her Grok Bot, and it pulled them into a Google Doc with the ingredients, steps and a watch link for each one. Now they're part of the family's weekly meal planning and grocery shopping.

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.
