THEIR CLAIM

A credit of just under US$700

TL;DR

What did MultifamilyJunkies (@multifamjunk) use Grok Bot for?

A rental property owner gave Grok Bot the company's general ledger for the whole year and asked it to find duplicate payments; most flags were fine, but one landscaper had billed twice for the same job. The landscaper gave them a credit for the double payment. They say "We never would have caught it."

What they did

They gave Grok Bot the company's general ledger for the full year and told it to look for duplicate payments. It flagged a batch of possible matches. Most turned out to be fine, such as the same work order split across units or planned installment payments. One was a landscaper who had billed twice for the same job. Their bookkeeper called the landscaper about it.

How it went

The landscaper gave them a credit for the double payment. They say "We never would have caught it."

"My bookkeeper called them. They gave us a credit of just under $700."

Worth knowing

  • Expect false alarms: most of what it flagged had a normal reason, so a person still has to check each one against the invoices before calling a vendor.
  • Price check: Grok: free plan; Plus (The X Subscription): US$8/month, or US$6.67/month on a yearly plan (US$80/year) (checked Oct 28, 2026).

Here is my general ledger for the year. Find payments that might be duplicates: same vendor with the same or a very close amount, or the same invoice or job number paid twice. List each pair with dates, amounts and memo lines, and note any that look like normal splits or installment payments so I can check the rest against the invoices.
