Can my Grok Bot cancel free trials and unused subscriptions?

Grok Bot v0.78.1 has templates that start a free trial and cancel it before it bills, find unused subscriptions, and watch renewal prices.

Short answer

Yes, according to the official changelog, though I haven't tried it myself. I checked the Grok Bot changelog for version 0.78.1, dated October 27, 2026, and it says, "Bots can cancel a subscription or look up its price and renewal date, and confirm with you before changing anything."

The same entry lists three templates: Try it, don't pay for it, Find unused subscriptions, and Watch subscription prices. It doesn't say where the templates are listed or how to start one, so I say below what I couldn't find.

Steps

Step 1: Ask your Bot, in chat and in your own words, for one of the three jobs: start a free trial of a service you name and cancel it, or remind you, before it bills; go through the subscriptions you still pay for and cancel the ones you pick; or check a subscription's renewal price. The changelog says, "Bots can cancel a subscription or look up its price and renewal date, and confirm with you before changing anything." I haven't tried it, and I couldn't find where the templates are listed. If you see Try it, don't pay for it, Find unused subscriptions or Watch subscription prices in your app, those are the names the changelog uses.

Step 2: Ask the Bot to list first and wait. This is wording I'd start with, and I haven't tested it: "List the subscriptions I still pay for and what each one renews at. Don't cancel anything yet, and ask me before you change any of them." For a free trial, name the service and say whether you want it cancelled or only a reminder before it bills. The changelog says the template "cancels it, or reminds you", and it doesn't say how the Bot picks between the two.

Step 3: Pick the plans you want cancelled. The changelog says the Find unused subscriptions template cancels "plans you pick from the ones you still pay for." Leave off any plan you aren't sure about.

Step 4: Read the confirmation before you approve it. The changelog says the Bot will "confirm with you before changing anything." If it tries to cancel something you didn't pick, say no.

Step 5: Check afterward. I couldn't find what the Bot shows once a cancel is done, so I'd look at the service's own account page, or your email, for a cancellation notice.

If it still fails

If your Bot can't finish a cancel, I didn't find a fix in the changelog or in SpaceXSI's docs. Cancel it on the service's own website or app. If you want your Bot to sign in to a site for you, my page What is Grok Bot's Vault, and how does it work with 1Password? explains how saved logins work.

What the changelog says about the three templates

Source: Grok Bot changelog, v0.78.1 (October 27, 2026). Every line below is word for word from the v0.78.1 entry, and I added nothing of my own. I listed only the subscription lines, so this isn't the whole entry; the changelog link has all of it. The entry says "Also includes 0.78.0" and has no separate 0.78.0 entry, so I can't say which line came in which version. New

How people are describing it

Posts on X from October 29, 2026. Quotes are word for word, and I credit each person by the name their profile shows.

Mark Kretschmann's lines are close to the changelog's own, so I'm treating that post as a summary, not as a first-hand report. That wording is 0xbobaa's own suggestion, and I haven't tried it. The 30 days in it is 0xbobaa's number: I didn't find a 30-day rule in the changelog, and I didn't find sorting by last use mentioned there either. That post says more than the changelog lines I quote on this page, and I left out the parts I couldn't confirm.
