How the agent did it
- His email bot searched receipts and billing emails for every active subscription.
- It returned a table of about 13, with cost, billing date and how to cancel.
- It handed the first target to Grinder, which waited for him to say run it.
@tetsuoai wrote that he set up two Grok Bots so the service would pay for itself. One has access to his email and keeps his inbox sorted, so it knows where his receipts and billing emails are. The second, Grinder, handles subscriptions. It sits in support chats and logs offers, and it may not accept deals, confirm charges or do anything binding without asking him.
He asked the email bot to find every subscription he still pays for, with cost, billing date and how to cancel. A few minutes later it returned a table of about 13. He says three alone come to around $300 a month: Kimi at $199, Descript at $65 and Restream at $49.
The email bot handed Grinder the first target. Grinder would not contact anyone until he sent the words "run it". It then opened Restream's support chat, got past the AI agent to a person and, when told to cancel in settings, asked for a priced offer to stay. The rep said there was no retention offer, so Grinder went to the billing page and stopped at the final cancel button.
Its report noted his next payment was $39.20, not $49, because a discount was already applied. He is not sure whether the bot or Restream caused that, but with no better deal available he kept the plan. He says Grinder is working through the rest.
Who it's for: People paying for several subscriptions who want someone else to sit in support chats.
