Two words by text, and Xbox Game Pass was cancelled

He texted his Grok Bot, which he calls his chief of staff, just "cancel it" about his Xbox Game Pass. The bot signed in to his account, cancelled the plan and sent back the confirmation, so $9.99 a month stops from the next billing date. It also remembered that the family likes the subscription for game nights, so it noted that turning it back on later would take one more text. The useful part is the short loop: the bot already knew which subscription he meant from earlier chats, did the clicks itself and returned proof. If you try this, ask for the confirmation number or email every time, and check your next card statement, because a cancellation that didn't go through is easy to miss. Also ask whether you keep access until the end of the paid month, which many subscriptions allow.

Copy this prompt

Cancel my [SUBSCRIPTION] plan. Sign in with my saved login, find the cancel option and tell me the date the last charge happens and whether I keep access until then. Don't accept any offer to switch plans or pause without asking me. When it's done, send me the confirmation number or the confirmation email, and remind me to check my card statement after the next billing date.

Watch out for

  • Ask for the confirmation number or email. Without one, you can't prove you cancelled if you get charged again.
  • Some cancel pages offer a cheaper plan or a pause. Tell the agent to decline those unless you say yes.
