Your vehicle renewal, filled out on the real DMV site
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.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Errand and connect Google Calendar, X.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: dmv runner.
- 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.
- Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
- Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

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.

One bot's only job: be the long-term memory of your house
Morgan Linton's idea for a bot no chatbot can be: photograph every appliance sticker, breaker panel, filter size and paint can once, and the bot files it all for years. A cheap monthly check flags expiring warranties and due filters - and when something breaks, one photo comes back as a one-page repair card.
Give your Grok Bot a phone number - it makes the calls and reports back
Peter bought a $15 phone number on Bland, gave his Grok Bot the API key, and the bot worked out the rest. Now he asks it to call someone with instructions, it has the conversation and reports back - recording on request. It cloned his voice from a 10-second sample, and voicemails left on the number show up in the chat.
Build a Grok Bot that fills your Amazon cart from your past orders
Teslaconomics built 'Cart' - a Grok Bot that does his Amazon shopping. It signs into his Amazon, reads Buy Again and past orders, and puts the exact products he already buys into the cart; he just checks out. It works for anything on Amazon, and it never places the order or touches payment - those stay with him.
