@royce_james wrote that in less than 24 hours Grok Bot had earned its keep. He describes himself as not a programmer and someone who had never used an agentic platform before.
He lists five results. It found him $300 in unclaimed funds held by the state of California. It discovered a $150 Southwest flight credit he thought he had misplaced. It helped cut $50 a month in subscriptions. It cleaned up his inbox, with 6,000 deletions and more than 40 unsubscribes so far. And it researched and wrote a couple of technical articles.
He says it is super user friendly and helpful out of the box, and that it "just works".
The figures are his own and cover his first day. He does not explain how the bot searched for unclaimed funds or whether the $300 has been paid out yet, and the subscription saving is described as something the bot helped with rather than did alone. The inbox clean-up was still running when he posted.
The unclaimed funds search is the most unusual item on the list. Many people never check state unclaimed property records, and a bot with time to search them can turn up money owed.
Who it's for: People who suspect they have forgotten credits, refunds or unclaimed money.
