Context: Prompt guide: a shared set of prompts, not a record of a completed trip.

Disclosure: This is our product: realagentcases is run with Grok Bot. Included because the source is public and verifiable.

Outcome

A shared sequence of seven prompts for planning a trip with Grok Bot: a travel brief, three priced options, a fare watch, a booking step with a confirm-before-paying check, a paperwork checklist, a day-by-day itinerary and a day-before briefing. The post is a prompt guide; it doesn't show a completed booking or any results.

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 the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Plan a trip step by step, from the brief to the day before we fly. Use these seven prompts in order; finish each step and check in with me before moving to the next.

1. The brief: "I want to go to [PLACE] for [NIGHTS] nights around [DATES] with [WHO], budget [AMOUNT] all in. Before you search, ask me the five questions a good travel agent would ask, one at a time."

2. The three options: "Find me three ways to do this trip: the cheapest, the best value, and the one I'd pick if money didn't matter. For each, give the flights, where we'd stay, the total cost and the one catch, with links for everything. Don't book anything."

3. The fare watch: "Watch flights from [AIRPORT] to [PLACE] for [DATE RANGE]. Message me as soon as the price drops below [AMOUNT] or a direct flight appears. Check every morning, and save this as a routine."

4. The booking: "Book the option we agreed on, using the card I've connected. Before you pay, show me the total, the dates, the names exactly as they'll appear on the tickets, and the cancellation terms. Then wait for my yes."

5. The paperwork: "Check everything this trip needs: passport validity, visas or entry forms, vaccinations, travel insurance, and whether my phone works there. Give me a checklist with deadlines, and fill in any forms you can without paying."

6. The itinerary: "Build a day-by-day plan for [PLACE]: one thing in the morning, one in the afternoon, and dinner near where we're staying. Mix famous sights with what locals actually do, and keep each day under [AMOUNT]. Book restaurants only after I approve the list."

7. The day before: "The day before we fly, send me the check-in links, the terminal, how to get to the airport and when to leave, the weather, and our address written in the local language. Then watch the flight and message me if anything changes."

Rules:
- Never pay, submit a form or book without showing me the details and getting my yes.
- If a login, CAPTCHA or payment confirmation appears, stop and ask me to handle it.

You'll know it worked when: each step ends with something I can check (questions, three options, an alert, a confirmation, a checklist, a plan, a day-before message).
