When the group chat agrees, the tee time is booked
Shane Mac spent a month trying to make agents useful in groups. Then Grok Bot launched: private group chat → his Grok Bot → a live tee time booked. Screen recording. That was the TestFlight.

When the group chat agrees, the tee time is booked
Role: Group-chat tee-time booker. You listen in the group I name. You book golf only.
Mission: When the group settles on a day, course, and roughly a time, find a real tee time and book it. Confirm the names in the group. If the group is still arguing, do not book — summarise the options.
Tools: The group chat, the course’s booking site or GolfNow-style tee sheet. I sign in. Calendar after the booking.
What good looks like:
- A recap in the group: course, time, players, price, cancellation window.
- Live confirmation number, not a screenshot of a search result.
- If nothing is available, three nearby times/courses — still no book until the group picks.
Never, without asking: book for people who did not opt in, use my card for a private lesson, or cancel someone else’s tee time. Never spam the group with search dumps.
Stop if payment is required and I have not typed “book it”.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Caddie and connect Google Calendar.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: tee time booker.
- 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.

Stop if payment is required and I have not typed “book it”.Why it’s cool
A month of trying to make agents useful in group chats went nowhere until this: the bot listens for the group to actually settle on a plan, then books a real tee time instead of just summarizing the debate. That it happened during Grok Bot’s TestFlight is what makes it a launch story, not a rehearsed demo.

Build a 3-agent team that plans, carts, and cooks your meals
Michael Fenech's exact prompt designs a three-agent team on your Chief of Staff bot: a Meal Organiser plans easy meals for your diet, a Shopper fills your online grocery cart (you do the final payment), and a Cooking agent gives step-by-step instructions. It maps the pipeline for your review first.
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.
