PC memory check by text
A Grok Bot monitored the author's PC and texted a breakdown of memory use while they were away at lunch.
It reported nearly 28GB of RAM used, 22 Python processes and 10GB on iCloud, then asked permission before closing anything.
Overview
How it was set up
Grok Bot with access to the author's PC, reaching them by text message. Setup details are not given.
Worth knowing
The author warned some Python processes might belong to Claude, so the bot's view of what was safe to close was incomplete.
A prompt to start from
The source does not show the prompt.
