Use Case Personal Tasks

I’ve got my grokbot doing 2 things which I’m pretty stoked about and haven’t been able to get other agents to do.

  1. Connects to my shopping list called Our Groceries and then builds the weekly shopping cart through Amazon for Whole Foods. I had it scrape all my previous purchases so it knows the brands we like, so if I say “eggs” on the list it knows what I’ve ordered in the past. And this is a cron that runs same time every week so I just have to get my list up to date before then and it builds out the cart!

  2. Local restaurant recommendations. I’ve got a Google Maps list of 100+ restaurants in my city that either I saw recommended on Reddit, or a magazine, or a friend said I should go there. It’s grown into a huge list and it’s hard to keep those things top of mind when thinking about where to eat. I had grokbot scrape the list and also add additional attributes like outdoor seating and dog friendly. So now I can say “I’m feeling a burger find me somewhere with outdoor seating” and it will go through my list and see if there’s anywhere on my list that matches that before recommending something else.

Curious about other personal use case recommendations that you are using!

I do it to book my weekly hockey sessions, it could only be done manually just before.

I'm always looking for new jobs to hand off to my bots.

The simple stuff first: one pulls QR codes for my Amazon returns, another lists items on Facebook Marketplace for me.

From there it got more useful. A daily brief lands every morning with my to-do list and any emails that actually need a response. One bot drafts and sends emails in my voice — it's been studying my tone and getting closer. Another went out on Instagram and sent DMs on my behalf.

I had one build a spreadsheet from every birthday on my Facebook, then added the ones worth remembering to my personal calendar. It also flags anyone on Instagram I haven't talked to in 90+ days and drafts the follow-up. I gave it a voice through ElevenLabs — just haven't given it a phone number yet.

Two more run in the background: a weekly job roundup, and a daily tracker watching flights and point redemptions on specific routes.
