What they did

In about 48 hours the author set up ~10 Grok Bot assistants for life admin. Cited work: tax prep that found hundreds of deductible items in bank statements; finance bots that analyzed years of statements; paperwork that matched payments to invoices and cut a 381-page statement to the 6 pages that mattered (and caught an overpayment); plus drafts to a tax consultant and replies to official letters. Everything is approved before it goes out.
