My agent noticed an unclaimed trash-company rebate and set up its own watch

Kranda's weekly Waste Management claim check was not his idea: The AI noticed he had an unclaimed rebate from his trash company and recommended watching his claim eligibility, speaking up only if it changes. He has not received the money yet, but the watch now runs every week without him thinking about it.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI notices an unclaimed rebate from the trash company
  2. Recommends a claim-eligibility watch
  3. Weekly check runs silently
  4. Alert only if eligibility changes

Why it’s worth knowing

The user did not invent this job — the agent did. It spotted an unclaimed rebate from his trash company and suggested monitoring it, a chore no human would ever remember to do weekly.
