Real use case

Internet bill cut $30 a month, plus a free recall fix

A few weeks into using Grok Bot, the poster listed what it had done so far. It got his internet bill lowered by $30 a month, which he says covers the cost of the subscription. It also found that a $2 hoverboard he bought at Goodwill was under a recall, so instead of paying over $100 for a new battery he got a replacement for free. He says the battery arrived and works. The bot also listed a Magic card on eBay for him after local shops offered too little. Next, he's having it go through his old tax returns. The recall find is the one most people would miss: secondhand items can still be covered by a recall even if you didn't buy them new, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission keeps a searchable list at cpsc.gov.

Copy this prompt

Two jobs. First, look up my internet plan with [PROVIDER] and what new customers pay for the same speed in my ZIP code [ZIP]. Then contact the provider and ask for a lower price, and don't accept a slower plan or a new contract without asking me. Second, here is a list of things I own with brand and model: [LIST]. Check each one against the CPSC recall list and the maker's site, and tell me which have an open recall and what the remedy is.

Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.

Watch out for

  • Promo prices often expire after 12 months. Ask the bot to set a reminder before the new rate ends.
  • Stop using a recalled item until the fix arrives. Follow the maker's instructions, not the bot's guess.
