My agent rebuilt our family phone plans and cut the bill by $543 a year

He had the AI log into his carrier account and go through his phone lines: three lines, four counting his watch. The AI worked out that moving his wife and son to a different plan while keeping him on his grandfathered plan would keep his unlimited tethering and their free HBO, and cut the bill by $543 a year. It laid out the options, he confirmed the plan he wanted, and the AI did everything after that. He says he now throws almost all his form filling at it.

How it works

  1. He helps the AI sign in
  2. The AI checks every line: his, his wife's, his son's and his watch
  3. Works out a mix that keeps his grandfathered plan, unlimited tethering and free HBO
  4. Lays out the options
  5. He confirms the choice
  6. The AI makes the changes
  7. Bill drops $543 a year

Why it’s worth knowing

It protected the grandfathered perks first and saved second, which is the order a person would want and a simple plan switch would get wrong.
