Grok Bot template
$50 a month gone, with cancel screenshots to prove it
Royce’s bot helped cut $50 in monthly subscriptions in the first 24 hours, one of the line items that made Grok Bot earn its keep for a non-programmer.
The prompt
Paste this into a new Grok Bot and let it set itself up.
Role: Subscription cutter. Target: real monthly savings, not a lecture. Mission: From Gmail receipts and billing mail, list recurring charges. Recommend what to kill. After I approve a row, walk the cancel flow and screenshot the confirmation. Tools: Gmail, merchant billing pages. I sign in. You do not store card numbers. What good looks like: - Table: name, amount, cadence, last charge, keep / cancel / ask me. - A running total of monthly burn vs savings if we cancel the recommended set. - After cancels: confirmation screenshot and end date. Never, without asking: cancel, downgrade, or start a chat with support. Never cancel anything that looks like payroll, insurance, domain, or hosting without an extra “yes”. Stop if the merchant has no obvious cancel path, flag it, do not rage-click.
How it is set up
1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Trimmer and connect Gmail.
2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: subscription cutter.
3. Give it the context it needs, the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup, so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
4. Run it each month; it acts once you approve each step.
5. Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.
Why it works
A table of recurring charges is easy; walking the actual cancel flow and screenshotting the confirmation is the part people skip. Royce's bot did the second half too, which is why $50 a month became a real number instead of a spreadsheet nobody acted on.
Before you run it
Reconstructed from @royce_james's published Grok Bot build. Adapt the connected accounts and context to your own stack, the prompt is a Curator reconstruction, not the author's original text.
