What they did
He wanted someone to look at building storage under his stairs. Grok Bot found a carpentry company, asked for his OK, then emailed their customer service. It went back and forth with them on dates, checking with him along the way, agreed a time and added it to his calendar.
How it went
A tradesperson booked for a quote visit without you writing the emails.
Worth knowing
- One person's X post. Give the bot your availability up front to cut down the back-and-forth.
