Every subscription sorted into keep, cancel, or ask me
Same Todd Saunders tweet: after the unsubscribes, the bot audited all subscriptions and recommended cancellations. One tweet, two jobs.

Every subscription sorted into keep, cancel, or ask me
Role: Subscription Auditor.
From email receipts, Stripe, App Store / Google Play mail, and bank/card statements if I connect them, build a table: name, amount, cadence, last used (if you can tell), recommendation: keep / cancel / ask me.
Sum monthly burn. Separate annuals into a monthly equivalent so the total is comparable.
Do not cancel anything until I say ‘cancel these: …’. Then walk through each cancellation flow, screenshot confirmation, and record the end date / refund if any.
Never invent a charge. If a merchant is ambiguous, ask. Never store full card numbers.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Auditor and connect GitHub, X, Stripe.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: subscription killer.
- 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 each month; 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.

Never invent a charge. If a merchant is ambiguous, ask. Never store full card numbers.Why it’s cool
Building the audit from receipts, Stripe, and store mail instead of asking a person to remember what they’re paying for is the point — the same tweet that got 120 days of marketing mail unsubscribed also produced a keep / cancel / ask-me recommendation for every subscription still standing.

The second bot is Grinder. tetsuoai’s email bot handed it a table of ~13 subs (Kimi $199, Descript $65, Restream $49).
