Grok Bot Demo: Automating Local Deal Finding and Seller Negotiation
brandon_galang · x · 2026-08-29
Author shares a Grok Bot template called "Local Deals" on x.ai. The agent scans local marketplaces like Craigslist and OfferUp based on user preferences and even negotiates prices with sellers on behalf of the user.
Workflow:
- Setup: Uses multiple-choice questions to determine budget, location, and taste.
- Scouting: Leages the bot's browsing capabilities to find listings.
- Negotiation: Contacts sellers to discuss pricing automatically.
This demonstrates the potential of AI agents to replace manual labor in information filtering and preliminary negotiation.
