First-Week Wins: Real Errands to Hand Grok Bot
Hand Grok Bot errands that are mostly legwork, like drafting a damage claim or a data-removal request, while you approve anything that gets sent or submitted.
Answer first: The best first errands are mostly legwork with a written result: research the process, gather the facts, and draft the claim, request or comparison. Grok Bot does that on its own computer with a browser and files, and stops at a draft for anything that would be sent, submitted or paid.
Test status: these are example errands, not tested runs. The building blocks (web reading, file generation on the box, draft cards for outgoing email) were confirmed in earlier recipes on 2026-10-16. None of the errands below was run end to end, and nothing was submitted or sent.
Who it's for
New users who want one real, satisfying result in their first week.
Steps
Pick one errand: 1. Shipping damage claim: give it the order details and photos. It finds the carrier's claim process and deadline, then drafts the claim text and a checklist of attachments. 2. Data-removal requests: give it a list of people-search or spam-call sites. It finds each site's opt-out process and drafts the requests. You approve each submission or email. 3. Supplier shortlist: give it the product specs. It builds a spreadsheet of suppliers from public pages and drafts an inquiry email for your approval. 4. Small tool: "Write a small Chrome extension that does X" builds the files on the box and gives you install steps. You load it yourself.
Copy-paste prompt
Errand: <DESCRIBE, e.g. "file a damage claim for order #123 with <CARRIER>">.
1) Find the official process, deadline and required documents (with links).
2) Draft everything I need (claim text / request / email) and a checklist.
3) Stop before submitting, sending or paying anything; show me drafts to approve.
Tell me what you couldn't verify.
Expected result
A short plan with official links, ready drafts, and a checklist. You stay the one who presses Send or Submit.
Gotchas
- Many claim and opt-out forms need a login, a CAPTCHA or identity checks. Expect to do those steps yourself.
- Deadlines matter. Have it quote the official page, not a blog post.
- Never paste passwords into chat. Sign in yourself on the Bot's browser if needed (see Keep a Logged-In Website Session Alive).
FAQ
Will it submit forms or send emails for me? Sends and submissions need your explicit approval. Emails always stop at a draft card.
Can it phone a company? This page doesn't cover calls. Stick to written errands.
