My agent turns my streaming services on and off on a schedule I approved
He was paying for several streaming services all year but only watching each one a few months a year. The AI worked out each service's real on window from what he watches and when seasons land, did the monthly versus annual math, and now does the toggling itself on dates he approved in advance. Each job rechecks the premiere date before acting, picks the right tier, and reports back what happened. If a cancel fails it tells him instead of retrying forever. Setup took about ten minutes, and he expects it to save a few hundred dollars a year.
This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.
How it works
- List what he watches on each service with premiere dates
- Work out the real on window per service, 1 to 4 months
- Compare monthly, annual and free bundle options
- He approves a schedule of service, action and date
- The AI toggles each service on that date, rechecking premiere dates first
- Reports back, and flags any failed cancel
Why it’s worth knowing
Cancelling on time is the part people never do. He handed that exact job, with dates and tiers fixed in advance, to the agent.
