What they did

He also built a test "Senior Companion" bot that helps elderly people with reminders, explains letters and spots scams.

How it went

Tell me what documents I need first, what deadlines matter, and wait for me to finish each step before giving the next.

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.
