Have Grok Bot pull the weekly spelling list from the teacher's email into your kids' practice app

@ThriveWithSI built a small spelling-bee app to help their kids practice each week's words. Their Grok Bot now scans their email for the teacher's weekly newsletter, finds the word list, logs into the app and updates it for them, one of the small recurring chores they say keep compounding into free time.
Try it yourself
What you get
Each week's spelling words copied from the teacher's newsletter into your kids' practice app, doc or flashcards without you retyping them.
Tools
- Grok Bot
- Email access
- A practice app, shared doc or flashcard deck you can edit
Steps
- Tell the bot who sends the newsletter and which day it arrives.
- Point it at where the kids practice (an app login, a doc or a flashcard deck).
- Schedule it weekly.
- Glance at the list it sends you against the newsletter.
Copy-ready prompt
Every [DAY], search my email for the newsletter from [TEACHER NAME or SCHOOL ADDRESS] and find this week's spelling word list. 1. Copy the words exactly as written. If you can't find the list, tell me instead of guessing. 2. Update [PRACTICE APP / DOC / FLASHCARD DECK] with the new list and move last week's words to an archive section. 3. Send me the list in one message so I can check it against the newsletter.
Watch out: Give the bot read-only email access if you can, and check the first few weeks' lists by hand.

In their words
Now my Grok Bot scans my email, looks for the weekly newsletter from the teacher that has the weekly word list, logs into my app, and updates it for me.
