My agent rebuilt the 500 dollar a year software I pay for, and I cancelled it in my head

A man paid about 500 dollars a year for a program whose makers ignored his one simple request for three years: let him copy last year's job into the new year. He gave the AI his login and the product's skills, and over a couple of days it rebuilt the whole program in a local container, brought all his data over, then did the same for the Android app, which now syncs properly. The rebuild cost about a tenth of one year's subscription.

$500a year

How it works

  1. The AI gets his login and studies the paid program
  2. Rebuilds it in a local container
  3. Imports all his data
  4. Rebuilds the Android app with working sync
  5. Adds about half a dozen features he had wanted for years

Why it’s worth knowing

He did not build a toy copy. His real business data moved into a working clone of a paid product, plus the features the vendor refused to add.
