@morganlinton wrote that using Grok Bot to cancel services is "pretty magical" because it works out the steps on its own.
He described one cancellation in detail. The bot could not log in to the service it was meant to cancel. Rather than stopping and asking him for help, it found a manage plan link in an email, used it to have a one-time sign-in email sent, and then used that sign-in to complete the cancellation. He says he only learned how it had done this by asking the bot afterwards.
The route the bot took is the interesting part. It worked around a failed login by using the account's own email-based sign-in, which only works because the bot can read the inbox. That is useful, and it is also worth knowing before you give a bot inbox access: it can use email links to get into accounts.
The post covers a single cancellation. He does not name the service, say how many services he has cancelled this way, or say whether he approved the cancellation before it happened.
Who it's for: People with subscriptions to cancel who are comfortable letting a bot use their inbox to get into the accounts.
