What they did

He asked Grok Bot to find money he was owed. It turned up three items under his name at an old address: a car insurance premium refund of over $100 and two small brokerage balances. It filled out one claim covering all three, using his details saved in Vault. He signed and submitted it himself.

How it went

Three forgotten items (an insurance refund over $100 and two small brokerage balances) were found and put into one claim, worth about $200 in total.
