What they did

Can a bot really cut your cable bill? He told his Grok Bot to "go figure out how to pay for itself." It got a competing quote and worked out a deal with Xfinity: 300 Mbps for $70.90 a month total, no contract, no mobile line and no Peacock. The rep pitched the mobile line twice and the bot said no both times. That's $43 a month less than his $113.90 October bill. He approved the deal before it was final.

How it went

A lower monthly internet price you approved, and a check on the next bill that it actually applied.

Worth knowing

  • One user's post with a screenshot of the bot's summary. The lower price showed up as an adjustment on the next bill, so check that bill. What a provider will offer depends on where you live and what competitors are there.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Lower my [internet provider] bill. My current plan is [speed] for $[amount] a month. First get a competing quote from another provider at my address. Then contact [provider] by chat and ask for a lower price for the same or better speed. Rules: no contract, no new equipment, no bundled phone line or streaming add-ons, and nothing that goes up after a few months. Show me the final price and terms and wait for my OK before you accept. After that, check my next bill to make sure the new price shows up.

Check a hospital bill against what Medicare would pay

A writer gave Claude the coded hospital claim (UB-04) for his late brother-in-law's $195,628 ER bill and asked it to build a spreadsheet of Medicare rates per code. Claude flagged bundled items billed separately, a bypass charge for a procedure that never happened, and a ventilation charge Medicare does not allow.
