What they did
He was paying $69.95 a year for Fortect, a PC cleanup app. Over a weekend his Grok Bot built him a free replacement that runs on his Windows laptop: a read-only health scan, cleanup where he picks every item (cookies and logins untouched), a health history chart, a gaming mode, battery and SSD wear reports, a driver check, and an optional weekly check. He says he didn't write any code.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
I pay [price] for [paid app] and only use it for [list features]. Build me a free replacement that runs on my own [Windows/Mac] computer. Scans must be read-only by default, and any cleanup must list each item and wait for me to tick it. Never touch saved passwords, cookies or logins. Explain how to install it, and tell me what the paid app does that yours doesn't.
