What they did

What can a bot do for your household money in a few weeks? He lists what his Grok Bot did: filed his homestead exemption back to 2024 (about a $4K tax refund on the way, plus about $2K a year saved), switched his car insurance to Progressive (about $1,500 a year), moved him to a cheaper power plan (about $800 a year), filed 20+ class-action claims for him and his wife (about $500 expected) and applied to 15+ jobs that led to interviews. He puts the total at about $9K.

How it went

A short list of tax, insurance, power and settlement savings with the forms ready for you to approve.

Worth knowing

  • One short post with rounded numbers; the refund and claim payouts were still on the way. He says the bot also wrote the post. Only file class-action claims you really qualify for, and check exemption rules for your county.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Help me find money I'm leaving on the table. 1) Check whether I qualify for a homestead or property tax exemption in [county, state], including any back years I can still claim, and prepare the application for me to review. 2) Get car insurance quotes for my current coverage [details] from at least 3 companies. 3) Compare electricity plans at my real usage from my last 12 bills. 4) Find open class-action settlements I may qualify for. For each one, show me the expected savings and what you'd file. Don't submit, switch or sign anything until I say yes.

Check a hospital bill against what Medicare would pay
