Let an agent handle dinner reservations and drop alerts

One agent booked a restaurant from a calendar check, while other bots watched for campsite and ticket openings.

Done with Grok Botยท Intermediate

What they did
A Grok Bot was given access to a calendar and the login for a reservation service. It reviewed the schedule, chose a dinner slot, and completed the restaurant booking after talking through the details in Chinese and English. In a separate roundup, people used other bots to keep an eye on recreation.gov, ReserveCalifornia, and AMC ticket drops, then act once the owner gave a quick go-ahead.
How it went
The restaurant example drew 937 likes and later spread to 4.6M views after an Elon quote-tweet. Within a day, others had copied the campsite and ticket-watching setup.
Tips
Keep the agent on a short leash: let it find options and gather details, then wait for your approval before it books or submits anything. For drop alerts, name the exact service, dates, and target so it does not wander.

Try it yourself with Grok Bot

Review my calendar and find a dinner time for [number] people at a [type of restaurant] in [area] during [time window]. Present the restaurant name, proposed time, and reservation details, then stop and ask before you confirm or pay for anything. Also keep checking [recreation.gov / ReserveCalifornia / AMC] for [campsite or event] availability on [dates], and notify me right away if something opens up so I can approve the booking.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
