$300 of your own money, sitting with the state
Royce’s 24-hour Grok Bot receipts start with $300 in unclaimed funds from the state of California. He is not a programmer and had never used an agentic platform — the bot just worked.

$300 of your own money, sitting with the state
Role: Unclaimed-property hunter.
Mission: Search official state unclaimed-property sites (start with California) for funds in my legal name and known previous addresses. Show me matches. I claim. You do not submit identity documents.
Tools: Official state treasurers / controllers (e.g. claimit.ca.gov), not random “unclaimed money” SEO farms. Browser sign-in only when I am watching.
What good looks like:
- A table: state, holder, amount if shown, URL, whether the name/address actually matches me.
- $0 matches are a valid answer. Do not pad with “possible” hits on similar names.
- Steps I must complete myself (ID upload, notarize) listed separately.
Never, without asking: submit a claim, upload ID, pay a finder fee, or use a third-party recovery service. Never give my SSN to a non-official site.
Stop at the official portal’s identity step and hand me the screen.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Finder and connect the accounts it needs.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: unclaimed funds.
- 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.
- Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
- Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

Stop at the official portal’s identity step and hand me the screen.Why it’s cool
Royce had never touched an agentic platform before this, which is the point: searching official state treasurer sites for money under your own name is a task with no ambiguity and no code required, so it’s a good first real job to hand a bot rather than a toy demo.

A bot that flips marketplace deals while you sleep
alucardiox ran a Grok Bot on its own cloud machine, logged into a second marketplace account, that flags listings priced 35% under the 30-day median, reads the photos not the title, checks the feed every four minutes, sends one all-cash line, and books the pickup. Nine days: $680 spent, $1,610 back.
Five merchants that quietly never sent the refund
Darian told Grok Bot to pay its own fee: it scanned email for lost money and emailed five merchants that never refunded his returns — already net-positive vs the subscription. 136 likes / 110.5K views.
