Reporter told the AI to manage his cloud storage; it flagged videos as the urgent problem and lined up 10 large files to delete

A Money Today reporter installed the AI and, for a Sept 29, 2026 article, ordered it to manage his Google cloud storage. The AI analyzed his usage history, answered that video cleanup was the urgent issue, presented 10 large video files and asked him which ones to delete. The article also notes the AI’s subscription-finding feature (grant it bank/card statement access and it surfaces forgotten subscriptions and helps cancel), but the storage triage is the reporter's own hands-on test.

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

How it works

  1. Reporter installs the AI and grants storage access
  2. Orders cloud storage management
  3. The AI analyzes usage and reports video cleanup is urgent
  4. It presents 10 large video files
  5. It asks which to delete

Why it’s worth knowing

Instead of a generic 'storage is full' warning, the agent named the culprit (videos), picked the 10 biggest files and turned cleanup into a single yes/no decision.
