My agent keeps a list of all my subscriptions and I cancelled several it flagged

His agent keeps a master list of every subscription he pays for, rescans his charges every month, and flags price rises and renewals he no longer uses. He says he has cancelled several subscriptions because of it. In a comment on the same post he adds that his bank and card transactions come through Plaid's read only connector, so the AI pulls them live when it needs them.

How it works

Build a master list of every subscription
Rescan his charges monthly through Plaid
Flag price rises and unused renewals
He cancels several subscriptions

Why it’s worth knowing

The list stays alive. New charges get matched against it every month, so a price rise cannot hide for a year.
