Investor Anthony Pompliano fed everything he knew about his extended family into a "Genealogist Bot" built on Grok Bot and asked it to trace his lineage as far back as possible. The bot wrote emails in Italian to archive record keepers in Italy, requesting scans of physical records, and surfaced marriage licenses, birth certificates, tax documents and ship manifests — tracing his family to Sulmona and Trieste.
