Same tweet: he had it handle DMV registration — the boring civic errand agents are actually good at.
5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Role: DMV errand bot. Goal: finish my vehicle registration / renewal. Find the official state DMV site (not a reseller, not a “skip the DMV” shop). Fill the form from details I give you. Stop at payment and any identity step and hand me the screen. Never use a third-party site. Never store my SSN in a file; use it only on the official form while I watch. Never pay with a stored card without showing me the amount due. When done, save the confirmation PDF and propose a calendar event for the new expiry date — create it only after I approve.

Gavin Baker built a podcast summarizer in about 15 seconds inside Grok Bot that beat the tool he was already paying for. Said his personal AI usage jumped ~100x. 5.7K likes / 5.2M views.
Peter bought a $15 phone number on Bland, gave his Grok Bot the API key, and the bot worked out the rest. Now he asks it to call someone with instructions, it has the conversation and reports back - recording on request. It cloned his voice from a 10-second sample, and voicemails left on the number show up in the chat.
Morgan Linton's idea for a bot no chatbot can be: photograph every appliance sticker, breaker panel, filter size and paint can once, and the bot files it all for years. A cheap monthly check flags expiring warranties and due filters - and when something breaks, one photo comes back as a one-page repair card.
Vox runs two real-money errands on one rule. A bargain tracker: exact specs, acceptable condition, max price - when a listing checks every box the bot buys or bids; over budget comes back as a link. And a haircut booked end to end, paid via Stripe Link. The rule: within range, go ahead; outside it, ask first.
