Stores called about a product, he tested the call himself
Chris Maconi wired Grok Bot to Bland.ai and had it call local stores about a product in stock. He had it call him, so he could hear the voice. The post does not name the product.

What was done
On 5 September 2026 Chris Maconi writes that he wired Grok Bot to Bland.ai. The bot called local stores and asked for a specific product. It sends a full transcript. It says whether the product is in stock. He also had it call him, to hear how the call sounded. They talked about the test and role-played. Then he let it go on. Afterwards he got the transcript.
How it went
He got a transcript after the call with himself. The post does not say whether any store had the product.
Worth knowing
The product is not named. The stores are not named. The post does not say how many were called.
How to do it
- Have the bot call your number first, and read the transcript before it calls anyone else.
- Say which stores it may call, and which question it should ask.
- Do not let it order or pay. Ask only for stock, and only after you say yes.
Try it with Grok Bot
Call [my number] first and send the transcript. If I say yes, call [stores] and ask whether [product] is in stock. Do not buy anything. Do not give a card number. Do not pay until I say yes.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
Done when. You have heard a test call, and no order has been placed.
Safety rule. No order and no payment. A card number must not be given.
