Real use case

Unclaimed money, two subscriptions and insurance trimmed

He set up a Grok Bot to look after his money. He says it found $230 in unclaimed money in his name, got him to cancel Kit, an email tool he paid $39 a month for, and move VidIQ down to its $5 plan. It also pushed him to shop his home insurance, told him which agents to contact and walked him through it, which he says cut about $1,000 a year. Note the cost side too: he started on the $30 plan, ran out of usage, and moved to the $100 plan. These are his numbers, not ours.

Copy this prompt

Help me find money I'm leaving on the table. 1) Search my state's official unclaimed property site and missingmoney.com for [MY NAME] in [STATES I'VE LIVED IN]. 2) Go through the subscriptions in this statement and list each with its price, what I use it for, and a cheaper plan if there is one. 3) For my home insurance, list what I need to get comparable quotes and a short script to ask my current insurer for a better rate. Don't cancel, claim or sign anything. I'll decide.

Watch out for

  • Unclaimed money searches are free on official state sites. Be wary of anyone who charges to find it.
  • Compare insurance coverage, not just price. A cheaper policy may cover less.
  • His agent plan cost more once he ran out of usage. Count that against what you save.
