What they did
GregKarelitz built a Grok Bot that creates dinner recipes for his family of five, gets his approval, then adds everything to his cart and checks out through Uber Eats at Wegmans. The first night was miso salmon with kale and jasmine rice.
Result (as claimed)

Set it up
Define the job
Say exactly what you want done and what the agent may and may not do on your behalf.
Share only what is needed
Give Grok Bot the minimum files or access required. Avoid sharing passwords in chat when a safer login flow exists.
Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.
Check the result
Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
