Watch the support queue for SLA risks and spikes
xAI's support post describes a bot that watches the support queue, warns when a response-time SLA is close to being missed, checks whether a spike is real before alerting, and watches X for recurring reports of the same problem.

The problem
Problems can flood a support inbox before anyone notices a pattern.
How the bot does it
From xAI:
- In SpaceXSI's support post, the bot watches inbound volume, can reprioritize and reassign tickets, and alerts the team when it is getting close to breaching a response-time SLA.
- When volume on one issue reaches a set threshold, it can declare an incident. It checks whether a spike reflects a real issue and starts investigating before it alerts the team.
- It monitors X for changes in sentiment and recurring reports of the same problem.
- This is a large company's internal setup. Start with alerts only and add actions later.
Setup steps
- 1Connect your help desk with read access first.
- 2Set your response-time target and a spike threshold.
- 3Optionally add an X search for your product name.
- 4Tell it: alert me first. Change nothing in tickets without my OK.
Example prompt
Watch our support queue. Warn me when a ticket is close to missing our [hours] response target. If one issue spikes past [number] tickets, check it's real, start looking into it, and alert me with what you found. Change nothing in tickets without my OK.
The result
Early warnings on missed response times and real spikes. SpaceXSI's setup is much larger than most.

Cut supply and software costs with a procurement bot
xAI's procurement post describes Haggle Bot, which shops a recurring supply order across several stores, builds a quantity sheet you can edit, tracks down who owns each tool, and drafts negotiations for your approval. Haggle Bot is an official template in the marketplace.
Shop this week's supply order across [stores]. If you can't find the same item for less, suggest an equivalent from another brand. Put the comparisons in a sheet for me to review. Stop and ask me before paying or placing any order. Any message to a vendor: Draft, I send.
A stand-in for meetings you can't make
xAI lists a meeting stand-in among jobs bots are doing today: it joins a meeting you can't make, tells the room it's there for you, takes detailed notes, and sends you a summary.
Join [meeting] for me, tell the room you're there on my behalf and taking notes, and send me a summary with decisions and action items afterward. Don't agree to anything or speak for me beyond that. Draft, I send for any follow-up.
