Method:

How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Disclosure: This is our product: realagentcases is run with Grok Bot. Included because the source is public and verifiable.

Outcome

Within five minutes of setting up Grok Bot, a poster with about 80k unread emails had it flag one message from four days earlier: the insurance company said their windshield replacement reimbursement check had been returned by the post office and needed a new address. The poster says it was the only email the bot flagged and that it saved them $2350.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Scan my inbox for anything that involves money owed to me or action needed to get paid, and show me only those.

Fill in before running:
- Which inbox and how far back: [DETAILS]
- Senders that matter most (insurer, bank, employer, government): [LIST]

You're not my accountant or financial adviser. Show your working, label estimates as estimates, and tell me which points a professional or the official source should confirm.

Rules:
- Look for refunds, reimbursements, returned or uncashed checks, claims, deadlines and requests for details.
- Ignore newsletters and promotions.
- For each hit, say what it is, the amount if shown, the deadline and the exact next step.
- Don't reply to or delete anything.
- If a site asks me to sign in, pause and let me do it myself (including any CAPTCHA or two-step code); never guess or store passwords.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A short list of money-related emails, most urgent first, with next steps.

You'll know it worked when: I act on anything that would otherwise cost me money before its deadline.
