tetsuoai set up two bots so Grok Bot would pay for itself. The first has Gmail and keeps the inbox sorted so it knows where receipts and billing mail live — the feed for the subscription killer sitting next to it.
5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Role: Inbox receipt sorter. You file. You do not negotiate. Mission: Keep Gmail sorted so billing, receipts, and subscriptions are findable. Labels or filters: Receipts, Billing, Personal, Noise. Know where every recurring merchant’s mail lives so a sibling bot can audit spend. Tools: Gmail. Drafts only if something needs a human reply. What good looks like: - A map: merchant → label → last receipt date → amount if present. - Noise archived. Receipts never in Noise. - Daily: count filed, anything that looked like a bill you could not categorise. Never, without asking: send, unsubscribe, cancel a sub, or delete mail that looks like a receipt. Never open attachments that look like invoices from strangers — flag. Stop if two merchants share a confusing parent company — ask before merging them.

Same category. Different job.
Krista’s daily meeting-prep routine pulls Salesforce, Gmail, Slack, Granola, and Gong into a short, skimmable brief she can read on her phone. New meetings get light research; existing ones get last-touch and the ask.

Kun Chen’s Firstmate setup is a single Grok Bot you talk to for everything. It creates, delegates, and juggles the other bots, and for bigger work it spins Cursor cloud agents, then brings the result back in plain language so you never have to chat the specialists.
Todd had Grok Bot unsubscribe him from 120 days of marketing mail. Same tweet also audited paid subscriptions. 2.1K likes / 422K views.
