I used @grok bot to set up a "Genealogist Bot" this week.
Create a genealogy bot, tell it everything you know about your family, and have it trace your lineage as far back as it can, down to emailing foreign archives for records.
For
You're curious about your ancestors and have scraps of family stories.
When you're done
Marriage licenses, birth certificates, tax documents and ship manifests, plus relatives the author never knew about.
How
- 01
Create a Genealogist Bot.
- 02
Tell it names, relationships, places and family stories you know.
- 03
Ask it to investigate as far back as possible and report everything it finds.
- 04
Approve emails it drafts to archives asking for scanned records.
Notes
What's good: it went as far as writing to archive keepers in Italy, in Italian, to request scans. The catch: archive replies take time, and you should approve emails before they go out.
