What they did
An Australian AI-governance specialist made a separate Grok Bot just for his finances and gave it a year of bank statements. In minutes it pointed out subscriptions he could probably cancel. He cancelled them and says he saves $210 a month. Even after upgrading his Grok Bot plan, he is about $70 a month better off.
How it went
A ranked list of subscriptions to cancel or downgrade, with yearly totals.
Worth knowing
- Single post; he is in Australia and doesn't say which currency. Use exported statements (not your bank login) and delete them from the bot's files afterwards.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Here are my bank statements for the past [12] months. List every recurring payment with the merchant, amount, how often it charges and the yearly total. Mark anything that looks unused, duplicated, or cheaper on another plan from the same company. Rank them by how much I'd save. Don't cancel anything; I'll decide.
