What they did
- He posted his favorite Grok Bot, Bill & Bid Shark, and says it saved him over $500 in one week. In a reply, asked what the saving was on, he wrote: "Tree trim I did last week." He gave no breakdown.
- What you hand it: any mechanic estimate, contractor bid, insurance policy or car listing.
- What it does, per his post: flags the fees it thinks are padding, pulls 5 real competing prices, and writes the exact counter-offer text to send back.
- Its template page adds the detail. It pulls out the specs first: parts versus labor, OEM versus aftermarket and markup on repairs; coverages, deductibles and limits on policies; year, trim and mileage, or the SKU, on listings.
- It flags padded labor, junk fees, duplicate line items and add-ons, then lists up to 5 competing prices with links and gives a verdict.
- The counter-offer comes as copy-paste text, with a walk-away number.
- Its rules: it never buys, books, binds coverage or submits a lead form without an explicit yes, and it never messages a seller itself. It doesn't make up prices: if only 3 real comps exist, it shows 3.
- Heads-up: the $500 is his own claim. The template is free; his post asks people it saves money for to chip in to his EVAC homeschool baseball team's World Series fundraiser.

Our notes
- What it takes
- Grok Bot, Gabe Trevizo's free Bill & Bid Shark template, and the estimate, bid, policy or car listing you want checked.
- Where it breaks
- Comps that aren't the same job (aftermarket parts, a different deductible or trim), counting a lower quote as money saved before the work is done, and fewer than 5 real comps for niche jobs; it shows only the real ones. His $500+ is his own figure, with no breakdown beyond a tree-trim bid.
- Human checkpoint
- The Shark reads, compares and drafts the counter-offer. You send it yourself; it never messages sellers, and never buys, books, binds coverage or submits a lead form without your explicit yes.

Approval rule
🛡
The Shark reads, compares and drafts. You send the counter-offer yourself; it never messages sellers, and never buys, books, binds coverage or submits a lead form without your explicit yes. Sending, buying, posting, deleting and paying always need a human.
Set it up
- Add Gabe's Bill & Bid Shark template from the link above.
- Drop in the estimate, bid, policy or listing: a PDF, a photo or the pasted text.
- Check the specs it pulls out against the document, so the comps it finds are for the same job, parts or coverage.
- Read each flagged fee or line item and decide whether you agree.
- Open the competing prices it links. If it finds fewer than 5, that's by design; it only shows real ones.
- Edit the counter-offer and send it to the seller yourself. Keep its walk-away number in mind.
- Accept, book or buy only when you're happy with the reply. The bot waits for your yes on all of it.
Common failures
⚠
- Comparing different jobs. An aftermarket part, a lower deductible or a different trim changes the price. Match the specs before you trust a comp.
- Counting a lower quote as money saved. A competing price isn't a finished job; the saving is what you actually end up paying less.
- Expecting 5 comps every time. For a niche job there may be fewer real prices, and the template is told to show only those.
- Sending the counter without reading it. You're the one who sends it, so make sure the numbers and tone are yours.
Variations
- Repairs: a mechanic estimate, checked for labor hours, parts markup and OEM versus aftermarket.
- Home jobs: a contractor bid, like his tree-trim job.
- Insurance: a policy or renewal, compared coverage by coverage, with deductibles and limits. It won't bind coverage without your yes.
- Cars: a listing, priced against others of the same year, trim and mileage.
