Time saved on a routine shipping task (no number given)
TL;DR
What did Benjamin Hessel (@BenjaminHessel) use Grok Bot for?
A Bordeaux winemaker's Grok Bot spotted an email asking for wine samples, he asked it to prepare the UPS shipping label, and the label was waiting in his inbox, ready to print, when he reached the office. By the time he got to the office, the label was in his inbox, ready to print. He called it "Real time saved running a small business."
What they did
While he was in the car one morning, his Grok Bot flagged an email from someone asking for wine samples. He asked it to prepare the UPS label for the shipment.
How it went
By the time he got to the office, the label was in his inbox, ready to print. He called it "Real time saved running a small business."
"Real time saved running a small business."

Worth knowing
- The assistant needs access to your email and a shipping account to do this. Check the address, package weight and service level on the label before you print it, and keep anything that spends money behind your own approval.
- 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 Oct 28, 2026).

Watch my inbox for emails asking for samples or product shipments. When one comes in, pull out the recipient's name, address and what they asked for, and prepare a shipping label draft for my carrier. Send me the details to check before anything is paid for or printed.
