Constraints
Requires a Grok Bot account and a personal assistant bot (e.g., Living Assistant); a Meituan account and the Meituan Errand official skill must be available. The bot shows a preview and cost before ordering; payment (errand fee and meal cost) must be completed by the user in the Meituan app. The authorization link is valid for about 10 minutes. Costs vary by order (author paid 34.68 CNY for the meal + 21 CNY errand fee).
What they did
On the morning of October 31, 2026, the author created a personal assistant bot named Living Assistant on Grok Bot and connected the Meituan Errand official skill. They placed a sauerkraut fish order via natural-language chat, while completing account authorization and all payments manually in the Meituan app. The bot tracked rider status in real time and pushed status-node updates until the meal was delivered.
How it went
Author report: rider acceptance, arrival at store, pickup, delivery distance, and final delivery were all pushed automatically as status nodes in chat, without repeatedly switching apps. The bot never paid on the user’s behalf; it only pushed bill reminders. The author believes tracking can be handed to an agent, but payment should remain under human control.
Worth knowing
The author did not test daily scheduled auto-ordering or refunds. This flow requires the bot platform to support the target service’s official skill and scheduled tasks. Meituan Errand skill availability may vary by region or account. This site has not independently verified the workflow; your results may differ.
Steps
Ask the bot to connect the Meituan Errand official skill
In the Living Assistant chat on Grok Bot, request connection to Meituan Errand in natural language, e.g., send “尝试接一下.” The bot finds and installs the official skill, then prompts for account authorization.
Authorize in the Meituan app
The bot provides an authorization link. Tap it on your phone to open the Meituan app and confirm authorization there. The link is valid for about 10 minutes.
Place the order via chat and confirm the preview
Tell the bot what you want in natural language, e.g., “帮我点一份鱼你一起,青花椒,黑鱼片加一份米饭.” The bot shows a preview (e.g., errand fee 21 CNY) before submitting the order.
Pay in the Meituan app
The bot reminds you to open the Meituan app and pay the errand fee within the time limit so the rider can accept the order. The meal cost is advanced by the rider; after delivery, the Meituan app generates a settlement bill for you to pay.
Let the bot track order status in real time
Send “跟踪订单实时状态.” The bot starts a scheduled task that checks every 5 minutes and pushes updates only when the status changes (e.g., rider accepted, arrived at store, picked up, distance to you). Tracking auto-stops when delivered or canceled.
