Magesh hands GrokBot his Uber Eats login and a few rules: no cuisine, no restaurant, spend no more than $50, and tip $5 only if a human delivers it. GrokBot asks about allergies, gets past Uber's two-factor checks (including the last six digits of a driver's license), and places a $44 order. A Honda Accord arrives with Kung Fu Dim Sum: shrimp dumplings, beef shumai and kung fu fried rice. GrokBot also offers a surprise breakfast every Friday, and the next Friday a mini California omelette with hash browns and toast arrives from Bill's Cafe in Fremont, after Uber adds a PIN check because it spotted an automated order.

Key takeaways

  1. The rules were simple. No cuisine, no restaurant, a $50 maximum, and a $5 tip only if a human driver delivers.
  2. GrokBot asked before it ordered. It wanted the address and any allergies. Magesh said he likes pork dumplings but not a strong pork smell.
  3. Uber added extra checks. Signing in triggered two-factor prompts and a request for the last six digits of a driver's license.
  4. It played it safe. GrokBot chose Kung Fu Dim Sum, which matched the dumpling hint. The food came to $31.42 before fees.
  5. The Friday surprise worked. GrokBot set up a weekly breakfast, and Bill's Cafe in Fremont delivered the first one. Uber asked for a PIN at the door because it saw a bot order.

How much did the AI spend?

The checkout came to $44.77, under the $50 limit. The three dishes were $31.42 of that.

0:00 Let's wait for Honda Accord. Hello. Hey. Thank you. You're welcome.

0:06 I have no idea what it is. I'm going to order food on Uber Eats by using GrokBot. We have an omelette with avocado and then some hash browns. Can you just surprise me? I don't want you to spend more than $50 though. Consider tipping $5 if that is a human driver. If it is a robot, do not tip. It is taking a while. And it is here. I love it. This is good. This is very good.

0:36 But I'm not going to tell exactly which restaurant. And I'm not even going to tell which cuisine it is. And I'm going to ask GrokBot to surprise me. Let's start.

0:48 I'm going to use Wispr Flow to speak. Hey. Hey. Hi, GrokBot. I don't want to tell you which cuisine and I don't want to tell you which restaurant either. Can you just surprise me with the food? I'll give you the address. I'll give you my Uber Eats login and I will also give you my credit card. And I don't want you to spend more than $50 though. That is the max limit you can spend. And I do have an Uber One subscription that's already in the account, purchased and ready to go. So delivery fees should not be there. But if there are any extra fees, that's fine.

1:19 And consider paying maybe $5 to the driver if that is a human driver. I don't know if it's going to be delivered by a robot. I don't know what Uber Eats is doing with the robots. I've seen robots around my home delivering food. So, if it is a robot delivering the food, do not tip. Tip only the humans. All right. Go ahead and ask me if you have any clarifying questions.

1:42 Okay. Looks like it wants to know my address and if I have any allergies. Okay. All right. And the address is California. You will figure out the zip code. And I don't have any allergies. I can eat anything. If the smell of the pork is too strong, I cannot take it. Otherwise, I like pork dumplings. I can eat beef. I can eat fish. Anything.

2:06 At this point, Grok was thinking I was just a normal customer, but I forgot to tell about the surprise part. Wait, don't show me what you're going to order. I don't want to see what's going to be delivered. I would only want to know it when I just open my door and see the food.

2:22 Yes, it is taking a while. To give some context, I've not done this before. This is the first time I'm using GrokBot. At this point, Grok is collecting sign-in information from me. Okay. All right. Let's submit. I'm not sure if Uber likes the GrokBot. So, it triggered a couple of two-factor authentications. I guess we will get a text. I'm going to check the text from my watch.

2:50 The driver's license part was really surprising. "Open last six digits of driver's…" Okay, let's go get my driver's license. This part was surprising. I was given an option, but when I chose it, it wasn't really accepting it. "Place a $44 order." It took a couple of tries. Yes, place the order again.

3:12 GrokBot is sending emoji. Sending celebratory emoji. We got the confirmation. And then GrokBot was asking if I want to do this every Friday. Go ahead. Set up a surprise meal every Friday for breakfast.

3:31 I guess it's waiting time. So Grok tells me that food should be here in about 3 to 5 minutes and the vehicle is a Honda Accord. Let's wait for the Honda Accord. This is my Halloween decoration. Welcome to the zombie zone.

3:52 Hello. Happy Halloween. It is here. Hello. Hey. Thank you. You're welcome. I have no idea what it is. Let's go find out.

4:14 Explorers, make a guess. What could it be? So, the food is here. I can already smell that it's some sort of Asian food. It says Kung Fu Dim Sum. I guess at this point you know what had happened, because I told Grok that I don't like the pungent smell of pork but I do like the dim sum, the pork dumplings. So it made a safe bet, probably, I'm guessing, to order dim sum, because it cannot go wrong by ordering soup dumplings, because I've already given away that information. Okay. Yeah. Good job, GrokBot.

4:54 What we have here is kung fu shrimp dumpling, beef shumai, and then kung fu fried rice. That's what we got today. Three items and a total of $31.42. That's what goes to the restaurant, I guess. Okay. The restaurant didn't give any fork or chopsticks. So, I'm going to get a fork and taste all of this.

5:13 Let's start with fried rice, number one. I love it. This is good. This is very good. Shout out to Kung Fu Dim Sum. Good job, guys. Kung fu fried rice. Next, we're going to try kung fu shrimp dumpling. This is fantastic. All right, kung fu shrimp dumpling. Double thumbs up. Double thumbs up. Next, we have beef shumai. This is the beef shumai. I love it. Beef shumai. Triple thumbs up.

5:56 I only have two thumbs, so, triple thumbs up picture. You want the photo? No, no, no. Fill the PIN number. Oh, PIN number. Oh, okay.

6:07 Hello, Explorers. So, the Friday morning routine. The Uber driver just gave me this, but he didn't leave it at the porch, because he was waiting to get a PIN number. Uber figured out that this is an automated bot order. So, it added a PIN number as another 2FA. So, the driver had to wait. He was pressing the calling bell. It's about 7:45-ish. And I told the driver that this order was actually ordered by Grok. He was so surprised. "You mean the Elon Musk bot?" That's what he asked.

6:38 I still don't know what's inside it. Are you guys ready? The Friday food. Let's unbox it. It says mini California omelette. That's what it says. Hash browns. Oh, there's hash browns. Okay. All right. Then there is toast. Okay. We have an omelette with avocado and then some hash browns. And we got toast and strawberry jam. Awesome. Let's begin. The food is really good. Well, it's just that I let it sit for some time, so it's not really hot. Thank you so much.

7:10 Hey, GrokBot, where is this from? I got the food. The food is good. I want to know where this food is from. Which restaurant? "From Bill's Cafe in Fremont. Different place each Friday. So, next week's breakfast will be a new surprise." So, shout out to Bill's Cafe in Fremont. Good food, guys. All right, explorers. I'll see you in the next video. Don't stay hungry, but stay foolish.
