Grok Bot phoned Comcast and negotiated a lower bill — but admitted it can't see the sky

"I don't actually have eyes on the sky." That's what xAI's Grok Bot told a Comcast rep who asked about the weather, according to a post that passed 540,000 views on X.

Peter Yang (@petergyang) shared a 20-second clip of the call on Nov. 3 (about 1,500 likes). He says the bot told the rep a competitor was offering a much lower price, then negotiated both a price cut and a faster speed. A full video is on YouTube.

Yang says all Grok Bot users can now call US businesses: ask the bot to dial a number and give it context up front. The call used 3% of his usage limit. The official Grok Bot account separately launched a shopping feature the same day (about 3,300 likes): find the best deal, compare items, track orders.

Replies joked that Xfinity will add a "must be human" clause to its contracts, and one user worried usage caps will tighten. The post does not say how much the bill dropped.
