Story
Dump the tax folder. Keep your CPA. Business owners are handing Grok Bot a pile of tax files and asking it to catch what a human miss might cost them. One founder dumped four years of returns and financial docs into a normal Grok Bot — 266 unlabeled files — and the bot flagged mortgage interest left off, double-counted HSA contributions, missing K-1s, and a retirement deduction that never got deposited.
The play: treat Grok Bot as a second pair of eyes on the packet you already pay a CPA to file. Dump the folder, draft findings only, verify each claim with the source open, then you send the shortlist to the CPA.
Steal: review and draft only — you hit send, and the CPA still signs.

Our other playbooks since the last issue:
- Grok Bot now comes in a $30 plan with Grok, Cursor and X. Here's how to pick your tier: Grok Bot comes with the $30 Premium tier and up, and it draws from the same weekly usage pool as Grok and Cursor.
- Your Grok Bot now rides in Tesla's Robotaxi. Here's how to turn the ride into work time: Sign in to Grok once on the car's screen, then talk, and your bot does the job through the apps you've already connected.
- Grok Bot can now shop for you. Here's how to use it for business buying: You add a card in the chat, tell your bot what you need, and it searches the web for the best deal and places the order.
- Grok Bot just got its own email address, and Elon is already on it: Your bot can use its own address to sign up for services, contact businesses for you, or schedule time with someone.
- Grok Bot makes your slide decks now, and Elon wants you to try it: Bots can now build slide decks with you and hand them over as PowerPoint or Google Slides.
