What they did

The poster set up his Grok-based bot with its own phone number. He then had it call his vet's office to book an appointment for his dog.

How it went

He says the bot made the call and booked the appointment.

Worth knowing

The author notes that a phone call is harder to undo than an email, so think about which errands to hand off first.

Try it yourself

Call [vet clinic name] at [phone number] to book a [checkup/vaccination] for my dog [dog's name]. I am free on [days and times]. Before you call, show me a short script of what you will say and wait for my approval. During the call, do not agree to any extra services or payments. Afterward, tell me the date, time and any instructions the clinic gave.

Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
