What they did
In 24 hours with his first Grok Bot, named David after his late dad, a lifelong plumber had it find an out-of-stock water heater at Lowe's for his business. It also rebalanced his Roth IRA, closed his Webull account, started a small Robinhood trial with stop-losses, set daily stock scans, cleaned his junk mail and removed his number from people-search sites.
How it went
A part found in stock nearby, with a price and pickup option.
Worth knowing
