TL;DR
What did Jesse (@JesseFriedland) use Grok Bot for?
When a child's flu shot needed a new date, a parent let Grok Bot make the phone call, and within minutes it had arranged a new appointment time. About six minutes later, the new appointment time was set while they ate breakfast with their kids at the kitchen table.
What they did
After their spouse said their son's flu shot needed to be rescheduled, they asked Grok Bot to handle it. Grok Bot made the phone call and worked out a new time.
How it went
About six minutes later, the new appointment time was set while they ate breakfast with their kids at the kitchen table.
Worth knowing
- Some offices may not want to deal with an AI caller or may need a parent on the line to confirm details. Share only the details the call needs, and check the new time in the clinic's own confirmation.
- Price check: Grok: free plan; Plus (The X Subscription): US$8/month, or US$6.67/month on a yearly plan (US$80/year) (checked Nov 2, 2026).
