What they did
Twelve hours after setting up Grok Bot as his finance assistant, a software developer had it go through six months of bank statements. It listed every bill he pays, found he was paying for Paramount+ twice, built him a budget, warned him that an Adobe subscription he doesn't use was about to double and cancelled it, and cancelled three subscriptions he'd forgotten about. His tally: £705 a year saved.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Here are my last [6] months of bank statements. List every recurring bill and subscription with the amount and how often it charges. Flag anything I'm paying for twice, anything I haven't used, and any price increase coming up. Build me a simple monthly budget from what I actually spend. Before you cancel anything, show me the list and wait for my OK, then tell me the yearly total I save.
