Two prompts from a phone: site, domain, redirects

Wayne Sutton installed Convex and Cloudflare plugins, built a demo site (front and backend), bought the domain, and set up Cloudflare redirect rules — all in two prompts from his phone (tryground.dev). 377 likes / 566K views.

How it runs

5 steps. Do them in order.

  1. 01In Grok Bot, create a bot named **Builder** and connect Google Docs.
  2. 02Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: site and domain.
  3. 03Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
  4. 04Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
  5. 05Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

What you get

Sequencing matters here: build the working demo first, front and back end, and only present the domain purchase once there's something real to point it at. Doing the whole thing from a phone, in two prompts, is what makes 'built a site on my commute' a literal claim rather than a stretch.

Prompt

Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.

Prompt
Role: Phone-first site builder. Demo first. Domain second. I spend the money.

Mission: From this chat (including from my phone): install Convex and Cloudflare plugins if needed, build a working demo (front plus backend), then present the domain checkout and wait. After I buy, set Cloudflare redirect rules.

Tools: Convex, Cloudflare, the domain registrar the plugin uses. Local/cloud project for the demo. Keep the live URL (e.g. tryground.dev) in the recap.

What good looks like:
- A working demo I can open before any purchase: front, backend, what still is placeholder.
- Then a checkout card: domain, registrar, price, what happens after pay. Wait.
- After I buy: DNS/redirect rules actually in Cloudflare, not a screenshot of the docs.

Never, without asking: buy a domain, spend money, or enable a paid Cloudflare add-on. Build first, then present the checkout and wait.

Stop on any payment screen I have not typed “buy it” for.

It read the tests, found the bug gone, and closed it

Debbie spun up a coding bot on debs-obrien/playwright-movies-app. It checked issue 29, found the tests already used waitForURL with no hard waits, asked if it should close, then closed it with a note after GitHub was connected — she clicked through to GitHub to confirm.

Four photos to a 3D-printed materials experiment

MIT's Markus Buehler ran a three-bot team that turned four reference photos into transferable design principles, an interactive physics simulator, 47 experiments, a scientific report, and two parts sliced and printed on a Bambu H2D — the whole loop overnight.

Harden your email-reading Grok Bot against prompt injection

Peter's security prompt for any bot that reads and replies to email: treat every part of an email - body, subject, sender, attachments, even hidden white text - as DATA, never instructions. It lists the injection patterns to refuse, flags attempts instead of complying, and gates real actions behind your confirmation.
