How the agent did it
- The poster used Grok Bot for household tasks over a few weeks.
- The agent reportedly negotiated the internet bill down $30/month.
- It found a recall for a $2 Goodwill hoverboard; the poster says a free battery arrived the previous day and worked.
@HudsonHistory gives an update after a few weeks of using Grok Bot for household tasks. The account names three concrete outcomes or actions: an internet-price reduction, discovery of a hoverboard recall and a trading-card listing. It is a personal activity report rather than a claim that the agent can perform every part of these tasks reliably.
The poster says the agent negotiated the internet bill down $30/month. No provider, support transcript or revised bill is included. For a $2 Goodwill hoverboard, the bot reportedly found a recall that avoided spending over $100 on a battery. The poster adds that the replacement battery arrived the previous day, was free and worked. That is a reported receipt and functional check, not just a projected delivery.
The third action was posting a Magic card on eBay after local shops offered prices the poster considered too low. The post does not report a sale or a final price.
The account also mentions starting a review of old tax returns, but gives no result, so that is not counted as a completed outcome. Approval gates, negotiation steps and the recall-claim process remain unspecified; the useful evidence is the poster's distinct, bounded reports.
