Have Grok Bot pull the weekly spelling list from the teacher's email into your kids' practice app

@ThriveWithSI built a small spelling-bee app to help his kids practice each week's words. His Grok Bot now scans his email for the teacher's weekly newsletter, finds the word list, logs into the app and updates it for him, one of the small recurring chores he says keep compounding into free time.

Try it yourself

What you get

Each week's spelling words copied from the teacher's newsletter into your kids' practice app, doc or flashcards without you retyping them.

Tools

  • Grok Bot
  • Email access
  • A practice app, shared doc or flashcard deck you can edit

Time / cost: Not stated; runs once a week

Steps

  1. Tell the bot who sends the newsletter and which day it arrives.
  2. Point it at where the kids practice (an app login, a doc or a flashcard deck).
  3. Schedule it weekly.
  4. Glance at the list it sends you against the newsletter.

Copy-ready prompt

Every [DAY], search my email for the newsletter from [TEACHER NAME or SCHOOL ADDRESS] and find this week's spelling word list.

1. Copy the words exactly as written. If you can't find the list, tell me instead of guessing.
2. Update [PRACTICE APP / DOC / FLASHCARD DECK] with the new list and move last week's words to an archive section.
3. Send me the list in one message so I can check it against the newsletter.

Watch out: Give the bot read-only email access if you can, and check the first few weeks' lists by hand.

In their words

Now my Grok Bot scans my email, looks for the weekly newsletter from the teacher that has the weekly word list, logs into my app, and updates it for me.
