What they did

His Grok Bot's daily brief noticed his upcoming vacation was one hotel night short, so his vacation bot, linked to his Hilton account, booked a rewards night. The same morning he had it run the vacuum at home and got an update on missing homework from his kids' school accounts.

Prompt

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

Every morning, check my upcoming trips: compare flight dates, hotel check-in/check-out dates and car rentals, and flag any gaps or overlaps. If a hotel night is missing, find options at [hotel chain/loyalty account] and show me points and cash prices. Book only after I approve.

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.
