What they did

A user had Grok Bot negotiate his ADT alarm bill and audit his T-Mobile phone plan. The one thing it couldn't do was call the companies itself, which he says would win over everyone who hates waiting on hold.

How it went

A breakdown of each bill, the cheaper plan to ask for, and a ready-to-send negotiation message.

Worth knowing

  • Single post that gives no savings figure. Some providers only negotiate by phone, so you may still have to call; see the entry on giving your bot its own phone number.

Prompt

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

Look at my last 3 bills from [provider] (attached or in my email). Tell me what I'm paying for, what I don't use, and what new customers are offered today. Then write a short, polite message for [provider]'s chat or email asking for a lower rate or a cheaper plan, quoting those offers. Show it to me before you send anything.

Check a hospital bill against what Medicare would pay

A writer gave Claude the coded hospital claim (UB-04) for his late brother-in-law's $195,628 ER bill and asked it to build a spreadsheet of Medicare rates per code. Claude flagged bundled items billed separately, a bypass charge for a procedure that never happened, and a ventilation charge Medicare does not allow.
