Have Grok Bot rank sellers for a purchase, track prices for days and ping you when to buy
Daniel Lockyer had Grok Bot research something he wanted to buy online. It searched sellers across Europe, ranked them by cost, shipping, returns policy and trustworthiness, and tracked prices over the weekend. When it found he'd pay a premium on the weekend, it set a 6:15am Monday reminder with the latest prices and a purchase link. He estimates it saved 4-6 hours of manual effort.
Try it yourself
What you get
A ranked list of sellers with total cost, returns and trust signals, plus a reminder with a purchase link when the price is best.
Tools
- Grok Bot
Steps
- Tell Grok Bot exactly what you want to buy and where you live.
- Ask for a ranked table of sellers by cost, shipping, returns policy and trustworthiness.
- Have it track prices for a few days and note day-of-week changes.
- Ask it to send you the latest prices and a purchase link at a set time.
- Check the listing and buy it yourself.
Copy-ready prompt
Research this purchase for me before I buy: [product, model and size]. Where I live: [country or region]. Budget: [max price]. 1. Search sellers that ship to me. Rank the options in a table by total cost (price + shipping), delivery time, return policy and how trustworthy the seller looks (reviews, official retailer or not). 2. Skip listings that look like fakes or grey imports and say why. 3. Track the prices for the next [number] days and tell me if they change by day of the week. 4. On [day and time], send me the latest prices and a purchase link for the best option. Don't buy anything. I'll make the purchase myself.
Watch out: Double-check the seller and the final checkout price yourself before paying; a reminder isn't a purchase decision.

In their words
It tracked price over the weekend and discovered I'd be paying a premium to buy it on the weekend, so it set a reminder for 6:15am this morning to send me the latest prices and a purchase link
