Track weekly deals and reorder staple items
They used one bot to spot discounts on repeat buys and another to place orders after approval, then keep tabs on confirmations and shipping.
- What they did
- They set up two Grok Bot workers with separate jobs. One checked a weekly list of everyday items, such as energy drinks and cat supplies, and passed along any approved bargains. The second opened a Chrome browser, filled in shipping details from a custom skill, looked for recent discount codes, finished checkout, and checked iMessages for one-time passcodes when Stripe Link needed them. It also kept an eye on order confirmations and tracking updates.
- How it went
- The setup let them buy things they already needed with little hands-on work. They did not share savings totals or a success rate, and they still had to approve each deal before a purchase went through.
- Tips
- Set a clear price limit for each item and make the bot stop before payment so you can review the cart. Be aware that heavy use can burn through access quickly, as they said Grok Bot was used up on Cursor Pro+ in a day.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Each week, check [stores or sites] for deals on these repeat purchases: [list items]. If any item is at or under [target price], prepare it for checkout using my saved shipping details and search for the best current discount code. Stop before any payment step, show me the item, total, and code you found, and wait for my approval. After I approve, place the order, save the confirmation, and keep watching for tracking updates or shipment notices.
