User cancels $147 of subscriptions in a week with Grokbot, which pays and enters credentials

The author used xAI's Grokbot to cancel $147 of subscriptions in a week — not lazy unsubscribes, but real cleanup: it found an orphaned database, Cloud Storage files and a forgotten static IP in a GCP project ($30/mo), explained each, moved files to Drive and deleted the rest; it also rebuilt a Framer site on Vercel, transferred a domain from Namecheap, exported Workspace Gmail+Drive, shut down Framer/Workspace/Slack and set up mail forwarding.
Comparison: Claude could do most of this if it had API access, but consistently refuses to enter credentials or do anything critical. Grokbot has strong computer use, does what you tell it, and will even pay for things with your credit card. Currently exploring recurring uses, mostly email triage.
