In less than 24 hours grok @bot has earned his keep by: 1. Finding me $300 in unclaimed funds from the state of CA 2. Discovering a $150 SW flight credit that I thought I misplaced 3. Helping to cut $50 in monthly subscriptions 4. Cleaned up my inbox (6k deletions, 40+ unsubs) so far 5. Did research and wrote a couple of technical articles I’m not a programmer and have never used an agentic platform. Grok bot just works. It’s super user friendly and helpful out of the box.
