What they did
A low-income pensioner told his new Grok Bot that priority #1 was earning its keep. On day one, he says, it busted a subscription scam and filed the bank dispute, found a utility credit he'd have missed, checked years of his taxes, booked appointments, wrote emails he approved, pitched his pricier pieces to antique dealers, merged and filed his inboxes, and ran his 40+ Marketplace listings. He says it saved him $200 and paid for the $29/month trial in a few hours.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Your first job is to find money I'm losing. Go through my [bank and card statements, email] for the last [12] months and list: subscriptions I may not use or never signed up for, charges that look like scams, and credits or refunds I'm owed (utilities, insurance, overcharges). For each, tell me the amount, the evidence and the fix. Draft any dispute or claim for me to approve before you send it.
