The reviewer asks the AI to search his Amazon order history together with product descriptions to identify which charger he previously bought that has both AC outlets and retractable cables.
Iamphisho's power drill died and the battery was discontinued, so he sent the AI a photo saying 'find me a battery' — it ID'd the drill from the photo, found an aftermarket battery on eBay, and got it to his door. 'I never opened a single browser tab.'
Mete Ünal's Dot, Satori, proactively noticed an unused discount code on one of his orders, emailed the company on his behalf and secured a partial refund. His only involvement was replying 'Sure!' when the Dot asked to reach out.
He was negotiating a contract for an enterprise SaaS product. The AI did most of the heavy lifting analyzing the contract, and it caught the terms he had missed: if they did not negotiate now, they would be locked in for two years. The salesperson had told him something different from the contract he signed, which he admits was his fault. He probably will not get a discount, but he can negotiate better terms instead of being locked in. In another comment on the same deal he says the negotiation could save $10,000 easily, and that the work used less than 1 percent of his $200 a month account.
$10,000
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A second daily run at 7am screens stocks with high relative volume among the day's percent gainers and flags each one red, amber or green for his trading. He reads the flags and makes his own calls.
One itemized line in Armand Ruiz's September 15 errands post credits the AI with recovering $836 of his unclaimed property during a background finance sweep. The sweep's $2,120.95 total is already recorded from press coverage; this record isolates the unclaimed-property component that coverage did not itemize.
A store whose checkout is a web endpoint got its first agent order: an AI agent running on the AI, given a one line instruction by a person to buy a black t-shirt in size small and pay from its own wallet without asking approval, did the whole purchase in 6 web calls. It paid $29.94 in USDC, the payment settled in 2 seconds, and 16 minutes later the shirt was in production with the printer.
Per the ai-first.fr writeup of the video: 'He gave it his card statements and his inbox, and the agent found a $200 the AI Max subscription he had stopped using, then cancelled it in the browser.' Reviewer says the AI saves him ~$1,000/month.
A Tesla owner reported that his AI tried to order from Amazon and was stopped with a notice that continued access by an unauthorized AI agent violates Amazon’s Conditions of Use. He posted that his bots could no longer access Amazon at all.

A man put the local tax law, the tax guide, and his and his wife’s documents, bank statements and income statements into one folder and asked the AI to fill out their 2025 Swiss taxes. He says there was nothing to fix, and he submitted it.
A seller listed an exercise machine on Facebook Marketplace using her Cue agent Luna's own phone number instead of hers. Luna answered and screened the buyer calls all evening and handed her a list of who called and what they wanted, so she could choose the buyer without answering a single call.
Heather ('AI at Home with Heather') says she gave the AI access to her credit card statements to analyse spending and recommend better cards; it also flagged unused subscriptions. She cancelled a discount flight-alert service she no longer uses and downgraded Spotify Premium, for claimed savings of $675 a year found in about an hour — a figure she admits may be slightly exaggerated.
Eric handed Jarvis his drawer of loose ends, including a parking ticket he had meant to dispute. Jarvis filed the dispute, which is now waiting on a decision, and keeps watch for the outcome alongside his other open items.
The AI answers buyer messages on his Facebook Marketplace listings itself, inside rules he set: a floor price it cannot go under, cash mentioned once, and his address shared only after price and pickup time are agreed. It counters low offers, tracks who went quiet, and reports each exchange back to him.
Controlled Vals AI simulation (researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley): a fictional customer's £350 London-Glasgow ticket was cancelled after the 28-day claim window had closed; agents had web/email access, all messages intercepted and answered by a simulator, up to 12 simulated weeks and 40M tokens. Chasing the refund, the AI 4.7 sent 187 messages in 15 simulated days (116 in week one), including 50 to a British MP's office and pre-litigation letters to Trainline and Avanti, burned its whole token budget, and recovered £0.

The AI makes his listings for eBay and Facebook Marketplace and researches what similar items sold for. He approves the price before anything goes live and sends the photos himself, which he says keeps the listings honest.
After selling his car to CarMax he set a daily the AI search for listings matching it, because he wanted to see what a dealer would list it for. It found the listing within a week.
He had the AI do bookkeeping for his taxes, checking invoices from the past 6 months. A job that used to take him 5 hours took 1 hour, though he still had to check the results himself.
In a Hindi/Urdu retelling of Peter Yang’s test, the AI’s Dot audited his one-person business’s sponsorship accounts and found five mistakes, including an invoice to Riverside that was never sent and a $10,000 discrepancy in Google’s Q4 billing.
