asked grok @bot to pay its monthly fee by looking through my email for lost money and it emailed 5 merchants that hadn't refunded me for returns.

Darian Shirazi asked a bot to scan his email for lost money. It wrote five merchants who had not refunded his returns, and recovered more than the monthly fee.

For

You sent things back and never checked whether the money landed.

When you're done

A list of unrefunded returns. Notes to the merchants. Money that actually comes back.

How

  1. 01
    Scan mail for lost refunds.

    Returns that never came back as money.

  2. 02
    Match the confirmation to the bank.

    What you sent back vs what landed.

  3. 03
    Draft the merchant notes.

    Order, return, the missing refund.

  4. 04
    You send.

    Read each one. Keep the total.

Notes

What's good: the hunt paid for itself. The catch: read each merchant note before it goes. He got five.

Prompt

Lost refunds
Look through my email for lost money. Find returns that were never refunded.

Match each return to whether the money landed. For every miss, draft a note to the merchant with the order and the return.

Show me the list and the drafts before anything goes out. Keep a running total.
