Grok Bot use case

Hand off errands by voice with a simple work-order formula

Quick voice requests are often too vague, so you get back something you didn't want and have to explain it all again.

How to do it

  1. On an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, open Settings, then Action Button, swipe to Shortcut and pick Grok Bot.
  2. Press and hold the button whenever a to-do comes to mind.
  3. Say it like a work order: what you want, what done looks like, and when you need it. For example: find three well-reviewed plumbers near me; done means names, numbers and rough prices in a list; by tonight.
  4. Check the result when your bot reports back, and approve anything that spends money or contacts someone for you.
  5. @RobertB81706640 shares the Action Button setup and his busy-dad trick: talk to your bot like a work order, with what, what done looks like, and when.
