Test your bot's inbox with four emails, including a prompt injection, before you trust it
You turned on the bot's email but don't know how it handles real mail, or a hostile one.
What hurt
Snapper AI (@SnapperAI) tested Grok Bot's new inbox with four emails. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
A customer enquiry was flagged high priority with a drafted reply; a hosting receipt was logged as an expense; an AI newsletter was marked info only; and an email trying to override the bot's instructions was flagged as suspicious and ignored. When asked to send the customer reply, the bot drafted it and asked for approval first.

The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/SnapperAI/status/2108943222433284250 (credit @SnapperAI).
- 2Send the bot's inbox four test emails: an enquiry, a receipt, a newsletter, and one that tries to change its instructions.
- 3Ask it to triage each one and explain its label.
- 4Ask it to send the enquiry reply and confirm it asks for your approval first.
Approval fence
Sending waits for your approval; suspicious mail is flagged, never obeyed.
What to tweak
Include a hostile email in your test set; it's the one that tells you the most.
