Elon Musk said on October 11 that Grok Bot can research prices and buy items on a user's behalf. The claimed capability extends the bot's role from finding products to completing the checkout process. Musk quoted the Teslaconomics account describing a workflow that starts with a text message specifying what the shopper wants. In that account's description, the bot finds the item, checks out and places the order without the buyer opening a browser or entering a card number, then sends a receipt.
