What they did
Can a bot quiz your kids on their schoolwork? A father of three boys set up a Grok Bot tutor. The kids snap a photo of a textbook page and email it, and a test comes back within minutes. They reply with their answers and get a grade, plus solutions explained simply and in depth. It only answers 7 fixed family email addresses. One snag he hit: even with automatic sending allowed, Auto-review still asked him to approve each reply.
How it went
A quick test from any textbook page, graded answers with explanations, and a weekly progress summary for the parent.
Worth knowing
- A parent's own X posts, no scores shared. Lock replies to family addresses so strangers can't use it. He found Auto-review kept asking him to approve sends even with a rule set to allow them.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
You're a tutor for my kids. When an email with a photo of a textbook page comes from one of these addresses: [list family emails], write a short test on that page for a [grade] student, 5 to 10 questions. When they reply with answers, grade it, explain each mistake simply, then show the full solution. Never reply to any other sender. Keep a log of each test and score and send me a summary every [Sunday].
