Monitor PC memory and ask before closing apps
Documented elsewhere: the Grok bot monitored the PC and sent a text alert when RAM hit nearly 28GB with 22 Python processes and iCloud powered by 10GB. It listed processes eating memory, suggested what to close, asked permission before any action, and remembered the prior instruction to leave ChatGPT open. Someone got the text during lunch at a construction site and handled the response remotely without the computer running out of memory.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 175 by interest), and one of 85 involving Grok Bot.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Grok Bot or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Help me monitor PC memory and ask before closing apps. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
