What they did

A user says Claude stalled on two subscriptions he'd been trying to cancel for months. Grok Bot read years of email across two accounts, logged in, made calls through a phone plugin and sent emails. Separately, he asked it to review a tax bill from his CPA using his files, Gusto and email.

How it went

He reports both subscriptions were cancelled and refunded within about ten minutes. He says it found an error the CPA had missed in about three minutes, which turned the tax bill into a refund. He puts the total savings for the weekend at about $2k.

Worth knowing

  • Self-reported X post; amounts are not broken out.
  • He acknowledges the risk of giving an agent access to all his accounts and files.
