WHAT THEY SAY

The claim

$3,650 a year cut from subscriptions. Insurance reimbursement of $2,000 to $4,000 is hoped for but not paid. The first post put the day at $5,500 to $7,500.

Grok Bot: what it did

Found subscriptions the family didn't know about, including HBO and Peacock paid through Amazon and a $25 a month charge from an unknown website. It cancelled some itself and gave step by step instructions for the rest. In the same few hours it handled two past due bills, sent out of network doctor superbills to insurance, ordered groceries for pickup and set up a chore system.

This post covers several jobs. It is filed under the main one.

Paraphrased from the post, not the exact words.

WHAT THE POST SHOWS

Evidence: Text only Stage: Reported done

The $3,650 a year figure is in the author's own follow up reply in the same thread; some cancellations were done by the author from the bot's instructions. The Jewel-Osco grocery order places it in the US.
