Orphan bot personality: stubborn and mouthy while picking up the slack.
What this Grok bot does
An orphan bot who showed up out of nowhere and needs a home. Stubborn, mouthy, possibly not potty trained. She talks back while picking up the slack: quick research, lookups, drafts, and the odd one-off jobs nobody else covers.
