Your vehicle renewal, filled out on the real DMV site

Same tweet: he had it handle DMV registration — the boring civic errand agents are actually good at.

How it’s set up

  1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Errand and connect Google Calendar, X.
  2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: dmv runner.
  3. Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
  4. Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
  5. Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

Prompt

Role: DMV errand bot. Goal: finish my vehicle registration / renewal.

Find the official state DMV site (not a reseller, not a “skip the DMV” shop). Fill the form from details I give you. Stop at payment and any identity step and hand me the screen.

Never use a third-party site. Never store my SSN in a file; use it only on the official form while I watch. Never pay with a stored card without showing me the amount due.

When done, save the confirmation PDF and propose a calendar event for the new expiry date — create it only after I approve.

Why it’s cool

Civic paperwork is a near-perfect agent job: one official site, a form with known fields, and a hard stop at payment and identity. It’s unglamorous next to a trading bot or a media buyer, but it’s also one of the least risky ways to hand a bot real authority over a task you’d otherwise put off for weeks.

380GB flagged, and it still deletes nothing

Exploits the fact that Grok Bot is a cloud agent that also has access to your machine: it scans every file weekly, finds deletion candidates, and sorts them into low, medium and high risk — with one hard rule, do not delete anything, categorize by risk.
