Outcome

After their golden retriever's insurance rose to $182/month, a dog owner got a $110/month quote elsewhere and uploaded both policies, their disclosure statements and the quote to Grok for a detailed comparison. In 24 seconds it produced a table of key inclusions, which was more comprehensive, benefits and drawbacks of switching, and a recommendation to switch. The owner turned down three retention offers, cancelled, then had Grok search for public promotions and found one that saved a further 20%. They say they got more cover and will save about $1,000 a year, in about 15 minutes.

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

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: Compare my current pet insurance with a new quote and tell me whether switching makes sense.

Fill in before running:
- Current policy and disclosure statement: [ATTACH]
- New quote and its disclosure statement: [ATTACH]
- Pet's age, breed and any existing conditions: [DETAILS]

Rules:
- Compare side by side: annual limit, reimbursement rate, excess, waiting periods and exclusions.
- Flag anything that would stop an existing condition being covered after switching.
- List pros, cons and a clear recommendation.
- Search for public promotions, citing where each is advertised; don't sign up for anything.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- 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 comparison table, risks of switching, a recommendation and any promo codes found.

You'll know it worked when: I choose a policy knowing exactly what changes in cover and cost.
