Grok Bot booked a trip, with a tap to approve

Thaiji has run Grok Bot since September, with one bot acting as a secretary that hands work to other bots. Thaiji says that this week it booked a trip using a card stored in a password vault, reviewed documents in Gmail and drafted a reply to someone stuck on a support issue. The key rule in this setup: nothing goes out without a tap to approve.

Step-by-step guidePlan a trip with an AI agent: flights, a hotel and a budget

Copy this prompt

Plan and book my trip to [CITY] from [DATE] to [DATE]. Find two flight options and two hotels near [AREA] within [BUDGET] total. Show me the total price, the cancellation rules and the times. When I pick one, book it with my saved card, but stop and ask me to approve before every payment. Then add everything to my calendar.

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

  • Keep your card in a password manager the agent can use, not pasted into a chat.
  • Turn on card alerts so you see every charge the agent makes.
