What they did

Seven days ago he outsourced his job hunt to Grok Bot. Instead of junk links, it searched X, LinkedIn, Reddit and other sites and came back with leads and real job offers. In week one he got a first-stage interview and a paying client. In a reply he says he still writes applications and DMs himself to keep his own voice.

How it went

Week one brought a first-stage interview and a paying client.

Worth knowing

  • X post by @kenn_ronin (Oct 25, 2026 Denver time): his Grok Bot searched X, LinkedIn, Reddit and other sites for leads; week one brought a first-stage interview and a paying client. No screenshots of the leads.
  • He offers to share his bot setup and builds another agent product, but this post's workflow uses Grok Bot alone.

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
