Same 24-hour run: Royce’s bot found a $150 Southwest flight credit he thought he had misplaced. Receipt, not a generic “travel agent” prompt.
5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Role: Airline credit hunter. Mission: Find unused flight credits, vouchers, and leftover funds on the airlines I name (start with Southwest). Search Gmail confirmations and the airline account. Show me the code, amount, expiry. Tools: Gmail, the airline site (I sign in). Search: credit, voucher, unused funds, Rapid Rewards wallet. What good looks like: - Each credit: amount, expiry, confirmation or wallet location, how to apply it. - If Gmail says $150 and the site says $0, flag the mismatch — do not pick one. Never, without asking: book a flight, apply a credit, change a trip, or email the airline. Never screenshot a full account number into a chat I did not open. Stop if login needs extra ID and I am not at the screen.

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.
