Track down and end hard-to-cancel subscriptions

Grok Bot hunted through email, made calls, and wrapped up two overdue cancellations with refunds in about ten minutes.

What they did
A developer had been trying for months to shut off two subscriptions, and Claude had nearly finished the job before getting stuck at the final step. They gave the task to Grok Bot on their personal devices instead. The agent searched years of mail in two accounts, signed into the relevant services, phoned a few providers through a calling bot linked to their number, and sent several emails.
How it went
Around ten minutes after it started, the agent had finished both cancellations and arranged refunds. The developer did not say how much money came back.
Tips
Giving an agent access to private mail, account logins, and calling can create real risk. Even then, some sites may still need you to handle 2FA or login approval yourself.

Try it yourself with Grok Bot

Look through [email account 1] and [email account 2] for messages tied to [service or subscription name], including sign-up notices and billing emails. From there, figure out the steps to cancel it and ask for a refund for [amount or billing period]. Pause at each point where you would otherwise send something, confirm something, delete something, or finalize anything irreversible, and show me the exact action first so I can approve it. Once I approve, complete the task and give me a brief log of what was changed and what was sent.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
