Grok Bot can now start a free trial for you and cancel it before you're charged
Grok Bot 0.78.1 adds three subscription templates. "Try it, don't pay for it" signs you up for a free trial and cancels it, or reminds you, before the first charge. "Find unused subscriptions" looks for plans you're paying for but not using and cancels the ones you pick. "Watch subscription prices" keeps an eye on renewal prices. The same release adds shopping cards with photos, ratings, price, store and badges, a Buy now button that starts an order you approve, order tracking cards, and Shop Pay in the Vault Payments tab. The bot confirms with you before it changes anything.
Why it matters
Forgotten free trials and unused subscriptions quietly cost people money every month. Handing the reminder and the cancelling to a bot fixes that.
Who it's for
Anyone who signs up for trials and forgets them, or pays for streaming and app subscriptions they barely use.
How to try it
- Update Grok Bot to 0.78.1 or later and open the templates.
- Pick "Try it, don't pay for it" and tell it which service you want to try.
- Or run "Find unused subscriptions", review the list, and choose only the plans you want cancelled.
- Approve each change when the bot asks, and check your email for the cancellation confirmation.
Plan & availability: Grok Bot users on version 0.78.1 or later. You approve each cancellation and each purchase before the bot acts. Checked October 29, 2026.
