Six Useful Grok Bot Jobs, Including Subscription Cleanup
Use Grok Bot's subscription templates to find unused plans, watch renewal prices, and handle free trials, plus five more jobs worth trying.
Six Useful Grok Bot Jobs, Including Subscription Cleanup
Grok Bot has a computer of its own. Give it one job that crosses a website or app, then inspect what it brings back. Start with its three subscription templates, which help you stop paying for plans you forgot about.
What this helps you do
Find the subscriptions you're still paying for, see what each plan will cost when it renews, and keep a free trial from turning into a charge. Then try five more jobs that use its X access, computer, routines, and app connections.
Before you start
Open Grok Bot in your account and update it to the latest version. The subscription templates arrived in version 0.78.1, released October 27, 2026. Connect X or email only for the jobs that need them. Use accounts and test data you control. Available actions depend on your plan and connected accounts.
Terms to know
Template is a ready-made job you start with one click and then fill in. Routine is a saved recurring task. Approval means the bot prepares an action but you decide whether it goes out. A debugging bot is a second bot that receives a bug report and works on the fix. A renewal price is what a plan will charge at its next billing date, which can differ from what you pay today.
Step-by-step
Clean up your subscriptions
Grok Bot has three subscription templates. Each one can look up a plan's price and renewal date, and it confirms with you before it cancels or changes anything.
- Find unused subscriptions. Open the template and tell it which accounts or services to check. It lists the plans you're still paying for. You pick which ones to cancel, and it cancels only those.
- Watch subscription prices. Start this template for the plans you want to keep. Ask what each one will cost when it renews. A price jump then shows up before the renewal date, not on your statement.
- Try it, don't pay for it. Use this one when a free trial is the problem. It starts the trial, then either cancels it for you or reminds you before it bills.
Point it at one service first, so you see exactly what it finds before you hand it the rest. Read each approval card before you confirm a cancellation.
Five more jobs
- Trace a claim on X. Ask the bot to search posts, find the original announcement, and return the direct link and date. Open the source yourself.
- Compare a purchase. Send it a product and the stores you want checked. Ask for the item price, shipping, tax, and total at checkout. Review any purchase card before approving payment.
- Make a morning source check. Give it a short list of official pages or X accounts. Ask for a routine that reports only new items with direct links.
- Investigate a website bug. Give it a reproducible issue on a site you own. Ask it to open the site, record the steps that fail, file a bug report, and hand it to a debugging bot. Review the fix before publishing.
- Draft inbox replies. Connect an owned test inbox. Ask it to sort incoming messages and draft replies. Review and approve each message before sending.

Subscription check
Paste this into Grok Bot after you open the Find unused subscriptions template, or as a plain request. Replace each bracketed detail with your own information.
Copy this
Check [SERVICE OR ACCOUNT TO CHECK] for subscriptions I'm still paying for. For each one, list the plan name, what I pay now, the renewal date, and the price at renewal. Don't cancel anything yet. Show me the list and ask me which ones to cancel. Confirm each cancellation with me before you do it.Watch subscription prices
Paste this into Grok Bot after you open the Watch subscription prices template, or as a plain request. Replace each bracketed detail with your own information.
Copy this
Watch the prices on these plans I want to keep: [LIST OF PLANS OR SERVICES]. For each one, tell me what I pay now, the next renewal date, and what it will cost at renewal. Tell me if the renewal price is higher than what I pay today, and by how much. Don't change or cancel anything. Show me the list and ask what I want to do about any price jump.Try it, don't pay for it
Paste this into Grok Bot after you open the Try it, don't pay for it template, or as a plain request. Replace each bracketed detail with your own information.
Copy this
I want to try [SERVICE] without paying for it. Find the free trial and tell me when it ends and what it will charge after. Then do one of these: [START THE TRIAL AND CANCEL IT FOR ME / START THE TRIAL AND REMIND ME [NUMBER] DAYS BEFORE IT BILLS]. Show me the cancellation or reminder details before you do anything, and confirm with me before you start the trial or cancel it.Claim check and morning routine
Paste this into Grok Bot. Replace each bracketed detail with your own information.
Copy this
Search X for this claim: [CLAIM]. Find the original announcement, its date, and the direct URL. Tell me what the source actually says. Keep reposts separate from independent reports.
Then create a morning routine that checks these official pages or X accounts: [SOURCES]. Send me only new items with direct links. Ask me before posting, paying, emailing, or changing a live site.Things to know
The official changelog documents the subscription templates, along with routines, approval cards, and current app connections. Grok Bot's launch announcement documents its own computer, phone-to-desktop messaging, and a bug handoff between bots. Its X announcement documents post search and timelines.
A cancellation is a real change to your account. Check the plan name and the date on each approval card before you confirm. If the bot can't finish a cancellation, cancel on the service's own website and keep the confirmation email.
If something goes wrong
If you don't see the subscription templates, update Grok Bot to the latest version. If it repeats a rumor, ask for the original URL and date. If an app action is unavailable, check whether that app is connected. If a purchase, cancellation, or email needs approval, review the exact amount, plan, or draft before allowing it.
Final check
A pass is one working job with a source or editable output you inspected yourself. For subscriptions, you pass when you have a list of every plan you pay for on one service, with its renewal date and renewal price, and you chose what to cancel.
