Ask Grok Bot to check a suspicious text before you tap

The poster got a text message that looked off. Instead of tapping the link, he asked his Grok Bot to check it first. It told him the message was a well-made phishing attempt. He says the domain was then reported and blocked within 15 minutes. It's a simple habit: forward the message to your agent and let it look at the sender and the link before you open anything.

Copy this prompt

I got this text message: [PASTE THE TEXT, INCLUDING THE LINK AND SENDER]. Don't open the link. Tell me if it looks like a scam, and why, in plain English: check the sender, the domain in the link and the wording. If it claims to be from a company I deal with, tell me the official way to contact them so I can check myself. If it's a scam, tell me how to report it.

Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.

Watch out for

  • Paste the link as text. Don't open it on your phone to grab it.
  • If the message says it's from your bank or a delivery company, contact them through their official app or number, not anything in the text.

Hermes Agent reminder that repeats until you say done

Shared by a member of Nous Research's community team: a Hermes Agent setup for chores you forget, like watering plants or taking the bins out. The agent asks what the reminder is for, when it's due, how often to repeat it and where to send it, then shows you the scheduled job before creating it. The reminder keeps coming back until you reply that it's done. The original prompt also tells Hermes to use a small script for the reminder instead of calling the AI model each time, since the message never changes, which keeps costs down.

PromptSet up one reminder for me that keeps coming back until I say it's done. Ask me one question at a time: what...

Find out your dog needs a groom from your robot vacuum's photos

The poster's Grok Bot looks through the obstacle photos his robot vacuum takes every night. One morning it told him his dog Pretzel was due for a groom: in the clearest photo, the hair over her eyes was in her face and her leg fur was long, so it said to do the eyes first.

PromptEach morning, look at the newest photos in [WHERE THE PHOTOS ARE SAVED]. If you see my dog [NAME], tell me if...

Grok Bot builds a page of every subscription and what to cut

The poster asked Grok Bot to build a page listing every subscription he pays for. It came back with 23 subscriptions adding up to $412 a month. It flagged 6 he hadn't opened in more than 60 days and 4 whose price had gone up without him noticing. He then asked it to split the list into keep and cancel, and it rebuilt the page that way. Finally he asked it to update the page on the 1st of every month, so it now checks for new charges and price changes on its own. He cancelled 3 of them.

PromptGo through my card and bank statements for the last 3 months [ATTACH] and my email receipts [CONNECT OR...

He says cancelling 3 subscriptions saves him $576 a year. We have not verified this.
