Use a bot as a QA intern on a live app
A Grok Bot clicked through an app's core flows several times a day, reported problems and drafted fix PRs; it found a real bug.
Done withGrok Bot
- What they did
- The agent received access to a cloud computer pointed at one live app. It was instructed to click through core user flows several times a day like a new user, log anything broken or confusing, and draft fix PRs. The owner reviewed the outputs and edited the PRs.
- How it went
- In the first 48 hours it found a real signup flow bug on a specific untested screen size. The drafted PR was junior-level and the owner rewrote half of it.
- Worth knowing
- The finding mattered more than the fix, which the owner could handle in 20 minutes.
