What they did
The author @thecsguy configured a Grok Bot to hunt for houses on their behalf. The bot checks every listing against a price cap, school ratings, actual drive-home commute at 17:00 with traffic, and other criteria. Using its own computer environment, it pulls pictures, floor plans, and sale history from Zillow to verify fit. Listings that pass this first stage are automatically sent to the author's realtor via the Slack connector to pull disclosure packages. The bot then reviews those packages to decide if the house is still worth touring and estimates potential renovation or maintenance costs at or shortly after closing. Anything that fails never reaches the author.
How it went
Author reported: anything that fails never even reaches them; they only see the ones worth touring. (author_report)
Worth knowing
The source did not provide screenshots of the Grok Bot configuration interface or fields. The exact mechanism for Zillow data access (API, browser automation, or built-in integration) is unspecified. Specific permissions and setup steps for the Slack connector are not detailed. Concrete parameters such as price cap or school rating thresholds were not disclosed. This site has not tested the workflow.
Steps
Configure Grok Bot screening criteria
Create a house-hunting task in Grok Bot and enter your price cap, target school ratings, acceptable commute time at 17:00 with traffic, and any other personal criteria. Grok Bot uses its independent compute environment to access Zillow, pulling photos, floor plans, and sale history for each listing to verify against all your requirements. Listings that fail any check are filtered out automatically and do not proceed.
Safety tip before Slack send / external write
Safety tip: before Grok Bot sends any Slack message to your realtor or writes/deletes in an external system for this listing workflow, review the recipient and content and confirm.
Set up Slack notification and disclosure review
For listings that pass initial screening, Grok Bot automatically sends them to your realtor via the built-in Slack connector, requesting disclosure packages. Grok Bot then reviews those documents to determine if the home remains worth seeing and estimates renovation or maintenance costs required at or shortly after closing. Only listings that pass this full review are surfaced to you.
