Outcome

When their old washing machine died, a UAE-based poster asked Grok for help buying a new one within budget. The poster says Grok suggested links, compared options and asked what suited them best, and they got their first-ever Black Friday deal, saving around 600 AED, with delivery due in three days.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Help me choose and find a good deal on a replacement appliance within my budget.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- Appliance type and budget
- Space limits (width, height, door clearance)
- Household size and must-have features
- Country and stores I can buy from
- How soon I need it delivered

Rules:
- Ask me a few questions about what suits me before suggesting models.
- Compare 3 options in a table: price, key specs, warranty, delivery time, link.
- Check prices on the retailer's page today and note any sale end date.
- Include installation and old-appliance removal costs if offered.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A comparison table and your top pick with reasons.

You'll know it worked when: the pick fits my space, budget and delivery deadline, and the price matches the store page.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
