My agent called SiriusXM and negotiated $30 a month off for 22 months

He says he used AI to call SiriusXM and negotiate a better deal. It saved him $30 a month for 22 months. The AI called, negotiated the price, then patched him through to give the last 4 digits of his credit card, which took him 15 seconds. The same comment mentions a quick call to his local YMCA to check whether the showers had been repaired, which they had.
