What they did
His Grok Bot costs $30 a month, so he told it to pay for itself. That one line was the whole instruction. It went through a year of his email, cancelled nothing on its own, and came back with 7 ways to save. He approved 2 of them, and five minutes later he had saved $626.
How it went
X post by @velvet_shark (Oct 26, 2026 UTC): one-line instruction, a year of email read, 7 ideas, 2 approved, $626 saved; the bot costs him $30/month. A follow-up post shows the list as a screenshot. The other cases he mentions (Xfinity, tax return, insurance) are other people's stories he collected, not his own results

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Pay for yourself. Read the last 12 months of my email and find ways I could save money: subscriptions I don't use, price increases, refunds or credits I never claimed, cheaper plans for bills I already pay. Give me a numbered list with the dollar amount for each and the evidence email. Don't cancel, buy or contact anyone until I approve a specific item.
