What they did

While driving to an appointment, a user spotted a recurring subscription charge, had Grok Bot pull the original purchase email and receipt, cancel the subscription online, and email customer service for a refund — the refund landed about two hours later.

How it went

Self-reported X post with a screenshot mention; refund timing is the author's claim. Approve any cancel or send step before the bot acts
