Reported outcome

Flight deals, four times a dayThe author calls it flawless: it just worked, with zero friction.

Reference prompt (written by BotDidIt)

Four times a day, check Google Flights for round trips from [city] to [cities] around [dates]. If a fare is below [price], send me a Slack message with the price, airline, times and link. Otherwise stay quiet. Don't book anything.

Not the author’s words.

Paste it into your own Grok Bot chat, then swap in your own details.

The first Grok @bot I built checks Google Flights deals and pings me on Slack 4x a day. Most agents overcomplicate this. This one just worked. Pure computer use via it's private virual environment, zero friction. Flawless 👏👏👏👏👏
