Watch weekly deals and buy regular items

Tools

Grok Bot

Overview

One Grok Bot watches deals on regularly bought products, another purchases in a browser with shipping details and discount codes, then reads order confirmations and tracking.

Workflow

Suggested implementation: Configure two Grok Bot instances. 'Deals' monitors weekly discounts for repeat items (e.g., energy drinks, cat supplies) and sends approved finds to 'Buyer'. 'Buyer' uses Grok Bot’s Chrome browser with a custom skill containing shipping details to find discount codes, complete checkout, and retrieve one-time passcodes from iMessages. Human role: Approve deals before purchase and verify order confirmations.

Reported result

The source claims Grok Bot finds deals and buys consumables without user involvement. However, no savings totals or success rates were provided, and the source is unavailable (HTTP 403). Proposed acceptance check: Measure time saved per purchase cycle and track successful checkout rate over 4 weeks.

Human role

The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.

Limitations

Prerequisites: Grok Bot access, Chrome browser integration, and custom skill setup. Constraint: The poster reported exhausting Grok Bot usage on Cursor Pro+ in one day. Integration uncertainty: Reliability of iMessage passcode retrieval and discount code hunting is unverified. Human approval is required for all purchases.

Try it

Act as a Grok Bot configuration assistant. I need to set up an automated deal-hunting and purchasing workflow for [replaceable: list of repeat purchase items, e.g., energy drinks, cat supplies]. Steps: 1. Create a 'Deals' bot prompt that monitors [replaceable: retailer URLs] for weekly discounts on the listed items. 2. Create a 'Buyer' bot prompt using Grok Bot’s Chrome browser. Include a custom skill with [replaceable: shipping address] and instructions to find discount codes, complete checkout, and retrieve one-time passcodes from iMessages. 3. Define a human approval step: The 'Deals' bot must send approved finds to me for confirmation before triggering the 'Buyer' bot. 4. Perform a dry run with a sample item [replaceable: sample product URL] to verify the workflow without spending money. 5. After my confirmation, execute the full setup. Output: Provide the exact prompts for both bots, the custom skill configuration, and a checklist for human verification. Measure success by tracking time saved per purchase cycle and successful checkout rate. If inputs are missing, ask for the specific retailer URLs and shipping details.
