What they did
Think your subscriptions are under control? This mom did too. Grok Bot found subscriptions buried inside other apps, like HBO and Peacock billed through Amazon, that her kids had likely signed up for. It also found a $25 a month charge from a website she and her husband had never heard of. The bot cancelled some itself and gave her step-by-step instructions for the rest. In 30 to 45 minutes they cut $3,650 a year.
How it went
A full subscription list including in-app charges, the ones you chose cancelled, and a yearly savings total.
Worth knowing
- One person's X thread. Some subscriptions can only be cancelled from the app or device they were bought on. Check the next statement to make sure the charges stopped.
Prompt
