self-reported

"GrokBot just saved me $200 a month." It found that the ChatGPT he paid $20 for is included in his Revolut Premium, cut 5TB of Google storage to 2TB, swapped a $40 a month API service for a $5 one, fixed a Vercel setup that cost $20 a month too much, and found site bugs burning almost $100 a month in tokens.

Colin Fitzpatrick is a Dubai based consultant and co founder. He had Grok Bot go through his subscriptions and tools. It found a ChatGPT plan he had been paying $20 for all these years that was already included in his Revolut Premium, storage he was paying for and not using, a $40 a month API service it replaced with a $5 one, a Vercel misconfiguration costing $20 a month too much, a way to combine his X, Grok and Grok Bot accounts, and bugs on his site burning almost $100 a month in tokens.

  1. Export the last 3 months of card and bank statements.
  2. Have the bot list every recurring charge with what it is and what it costs.
  3. Ask it to flag duplicates, plans you already get free through another service, and plans bigger than you use.
  4. Have it check your cloud and API bills for setups that cost more than they should.
  5. Cancel or downgrade the ones you agree with, yourself.
Copy-paste prompt
Here are my last 3 months of statements. List every recurring charge, what it is and what it costs. Flag anything I'm paying twice, anything already included in another plan I have, plans bigger than I use, and cloud or API costs that look too high. Don't cancel anything; give me the list.

Make it run every week

A play works once. Turn it into a routine in three small steps:

  1. Run it once and check the result yourself.
  2. Give your AI a schedule. Tell it when to run this play (every week, or every month) and to message you with what it found before you act.
  3. Keep a log. One line per run: what was checked, anything flagged, what you did.

What to watch out for

Self-reported from his own post. Some of the savings were personal tools as well as business ones. Safer version: give the bot statements to read, not your card logins, and do the cancelling yourself. Build it with Page: a simple internal page listing every tool you pay for and why.

    Digging through old accounts for leads replaced: a closed won deal from a past customer in two weeks

    self-reported

    Two weeks after pointing Grok Bot at their tools, his team closed their first deal from a past customer it surfaced, in a business where the sales cycle often takes months.

    Scott Billows is CEO of Belmar, a Salesforce consultancy, where deals often take months to cultivate and close. His team pointed Grok Bot at their tools and had it surface past prospects and customers for his account executives to reach out to. Two weeks in, one of those past customers became a closed won deal. He says without Grok Bot they most likely would not have reached out to that customer: the bot pulled it from the haystack, and his AE simply reached out, pitched and closed.

    Two years of card statements audited in one go: over $5,000 in unused subscriptions cancelled

    self-reported

    Over $15k spent on subscriptions found across 2+ years of business and personal card statements. Over $5k of it was tied to things she doesn't use or need. She cancelled the auto renewals: over $3k on her business credit card and just shy of $2k on her personal one.

    Kristi Faltorusso runs her own customer revenue consulting business. Before 2027 she exported more than two years of credit card statements from her business and personal cards and had Claude audit her tech spend. Most of the subscriptions were set to renew between December 2026 and March 2027, so she logged in and cancelled the auto renewals and auto payments herself. She also found a few to downgrade and some she plans to build herself before turning them off.

    Chasing sales teams for training slots handed off: $1,900 in spiffs in one month, more than all of last year

    self-reported

    Since Oct 1: 15 internal sales trainings, 2 customer workshops (one of them a 5 hour whiteboarding session) and $1,900 in spiffs earned. All of last fiscal year (Oct to Sep), doing it by hand, he earned $1,850 in these spiffs.

    Chris Olsson is a sales engineer who specializes in F5 products. F5, a vendor, runs an incentive program that pays engineers like him $100 every time they train an internal sales team and $200 for every customer workshop. He had been doing it a little here and there. Last month he handed it to Grok Bot. It found all 51 sales directors and solutions architect directors in his company's Outlook directory and left draft emails asking for 10 to 15 minutes on their next team call. He proofread and hit send. It logs every call with the date, the team and how many people were invited, writes the spiff claim email with every calendar invite attached, and drafts a bump reply when someone said yes but hasn't sent the invite. He says it funded itself for the next year.
