Work
Uber rides → trip PDFs + spreadsheet for reimbursement
Multi-city travel receipts hide in old inboxes; reconciling by hand burns hours.
What hurt
Wayne Lowry (@wikiwayne) had four trips to reconcile (San Diego, DC, Vegas, Dallas) while Uber receipts went to an old Hotmail he barely checked. He had Uber resend to Gmail, then told Grok Bot to handle the rest. It found all 24 rides, sorted by trip, caught a duplicate he would have double-billed, pulled out Lime scooter rides, built one summary PDF plus a PDF per trip and a spreadsheet, and emailed the pack. Total $795.26 ready for reimbursement — a couple of messages instead of hours. Tip / experience (no published system prompt). Not affiliated with xAI.

Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/wikiwayne/status/2103598661666066569 for Wayne’s four-trip Uber pack.
- 2Point ride receipts at a Gmail the bot can read (resend from the vendor if they landed in an old address).
- 3Ask Grok Bot to find every ride in the window, sort by trip/city, and flag duplicates or non-Uber modes (e.g. Lime).
- 4Have it build one summary PDF, a PDF per trip, and a spreadsheet — then email the pack to you.
- 5You submit reimbursement; the bot does not file expense reports without approval.
Approval fence
Submitting reimbursement or forwarding to finance still needs your yes; bot prepares the pack only.
What to tweak
Steal “sort by trip + catch duplicates + one pack.” Boring expense work is the win.
