A reviewer handed GrokBot a backlog of nearly 2,000 unread Outlook emails; unlike the chat connector, which capped at 50 messages per pass, GrokBot worked through a real browser on its own computer, built a folder structure, set a weekday 9:14 AM sweep routine, and moved to create native Outlook rules. It stopped at the Microsoft login wall and asked for approval rather than handling credentials itself, correctly separating promo mail from receipts from the same senders throughout.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Fine Print: review my contracts and draft the dispute
A directory-listed the AI named Fine Print reviews its owner’s contracts, leases, bills and terms of service, flags hidden fees and gotchas, and drafts dispute or alternate-terms language for him. It is a standing reviewer for every document he is asked to sign.
My Dot went through 15 years of marketing mail and unsubscribed me
In PCMag's five task test, the Dot went through more than 15 years of the reviewer's marketing mail, built a spreadsheet of over 700 senders, picked the ones worth dropping, and clicked through their unsubscribe pages itself. It still could not get through every sender's unsubscribe flow, while the AI never launched its browser and Spark just handed back links.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Set up six standing errand rules in an AI app after a Sept
Rachel D. Gainsbrugh (someone, ~3.5K followers, AI/systems creator) signed up for the AI on Sept 13, 2026, connected her calendar read-only, and typed six standing errand rules once — including a 7:05 AM daily calendar scan that flags overlapping meetings or ones falling inside a flight — then handed it two long-dodged errands (an appointment blocked by a flight, a subscription update).
Uploaded his resume and target roles; the AI auto-applied to 50 jobs while
A young man in sunglasses sitting in his car tested the AI by uploading his resume and target job roles, then instructed it to apply to jobs while he went to lunch. Screen recordings showed multiple browser tasks running and a notification confirming an application submitted to 'ioTech Solutions.' The AI asked for information once for the first application, then reused it — resulting in 50 applications submitted while he was idle.
