Constraints

Requires Grok Bot access and Gmail account permissions. Author did not specify pricing. Deletion criteria are user-defined; the bot may exercise judgment beyond literal instructions.

What they did

Kronykal created a Grok Bot to clean up their Gmail account used for signing up to various services, which they literally never check.

How it went

Author report (author_report): The bot followed deletion instructions exactly, yet correctly identified a few emails that were not junk and preserved them despite meeting deletion criteria—unexpected behavior. Each time the author opened the bot, it provided progress updates with unrequested but useful details. It also flagged items matching the 'no action' criteria that the author probably did want to act on, and was right. Author rated it 10/10, calling it 'Very impressive technology.'

Worth knowing

The bot is still running; the author has more rules to add. Source did not provide exact deletion criteria, OCR text from screenshots, or copyable prompts. Grok Bot's intelligent judgment behaviors are author observations, not verified by this site.

Steps

  1. Create a Gmail cleanup bot

    Create a new Bot in Grok Bot and connect it to your Gmail account. Use the inbox you dedicate to service signups and rarely check.

  2. Set cleanup rules

    Tell the bot your deletion criteria, such as registration confirmations, expired promotions, or unread ads. The author did not share exact wording—describe your scenario in natural language.

  3. Safety tip

    Safety tip: before the bot deletes any emails, review the first batch it will delete (sender, subject) and confirm.

  4. Run and check progress

    Launch the bot and open the conversation anytime to see progress updates. The author reported that the bot proactively provides unrequested but useful details, and surfaces items matching your 'do not act' criteria that you might actually want to handle.

Prompt you can copy

Reference prompt · Editorial suggestion。Confirm the destination, input variables and output format before use.

This block is the prompt. Ads are never placed here.

No prompt needed — just follow the steps.

Describe your cleanup needs in natural language directly in the Grok Bot interface; no fixed prompt to copy.
