How the agent did it
- Ben asked Grok Bot to find local businesses that could use a new website.
- It returned 50 leads that he judged very strong.
- It drafted an outreach email for each lead.
@bennash, a designer and developer, wrote that for several months he had used ChatGPT and Gemini to find local businesses that could use a new website. He tried many approaches and what he calls smart, opinionated prompts, and says the results were small and mediocre.
He then ran the same job with Grok Bot one evening. He says it found 50 very strong leads and drafted an email to each one.
He is clear about where it fell short. The emails need his touch and rewriting before they go out. The leads themselves, though, are in his words exactly what he is looking for, and he calls it a good use case for Grok Bot.
The comparison with other tools is his own, from his own attempts, and he does not share the prompt, the area searched or how he judged a lead as strong. He does not say whether any of the emails have been sent or answered yet.
The split in the work is sensible for outreach. The bot does the searching and the first draft, and the person whose name is on the email rewrites it before anything is sent.
Who it's for: Freelance web designers and agencies looking for local clients.
