A late baby formula order watched, with a backup plan
He describes a week of almost cancelling his $30 a month Grok Bot because Meta Muse is free. Then his daughter's formula order ran late, and the Grok Bot checked his email every 15 minutes for shipping updates, with a backup plan ready and an 11am deadline to switch to it. That same week Muse found a Costco coupon on its own that saved him $32.17, and the Grok Bot made phone calls for him, getting through phone menus, waiting on hold and sending a summary. It's a good picture of where each one helped him: Muse for small savings, the Grok Bot for something time-sensitive.
Poster's claim, not verified: He says Muse found a coupon worth $32.17. We haven't verified it.
Copy this prompt
My order of [ITEM] from [STORE] is late and I need it by [DATE AND TIME]. Check my email every 15 minutes for shipping updates. Meanwhile, find two backup options: a nearby store that has it in stock for pickup today, and a same-day delivery option, with prices. If there's no tracking update by [DEADLINE], message me with the backup options. Don't buy anything without my OK.

Watch out for
- Checking every 15 minutes uses more of your plan's usage. Turn the routine off once the order arrives.
