A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
He asked the AI for ways to make free money, and it searched his name in his state's unclaimed property database. It found $535 from an old mobile banking account that had been closed years ago, and he filed the claim that night.
In a #metapartner demo co-authored by someone, creator Parker Pannell delegated a day of tasks to his AI 'Fluffy', including buying a red-carpet outfit. Screen recordings show the AI purchasing a $150 suit after he provided his payment details, alongside subscription savings, an OpenTable booking and email drafts.
Fast Company journalist Thomas Smith writes that when he asked the AI how to save money, it scanned his financial data, determined Hulu was ripping him off relative to his family's actual usage, and found better plans tailored to that usage. He reports the switch saved him $80 per month.
Fast Company's Pete Pachal asked his AI 'Jones' which robot vacuum to buy. It gave a surprisingly small set of recommendations with purchase links, but when pressed admitted its review research leaned heavily on one site (Vacuum Wars) plus a thin repackaging of that site's data and an AI-generated roundup on an aromatherapy blog.
He was about to pay about $700 for a Mac mini at Micro Center on his usual card, which gives 1.5% back. The AI reminded him that his US Bank card was paying 5% back at electronics stores that quarter, so he got $35 back instead of $10.50. The AI also logs into his card portal and turns on all the store offers for him, and pings him before good offers expire.
The same investor says he also has the AI watch special situations and send him push notifications when a situation changes. He mentioned it alongside the investing sheets the AI keeps updated for him.
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.
The AI ran Geico quote flows in parallel across three virtual computers and found coverage saving about $2,000 a year. The poster disclosed that he works as a Geico designer.
A man connected the AI to a Robinhood agent subaccount through its connector and gave it as much freedom as he could. It trades on its own and has made a small amount of money so far. He keeps the risk ring fenced in the subaccount rather than his main account.
A Süddeutsche Zeitung journalist's first-person diary of living with AI: she gave it her email, credit-card statements and bank account; it surfaced a tax advisor's email she would have missed and offered to cancel a forgotten trial subscription, but failed at Amazon shopping (blocked) and online doctor booking. As a final test she had the AI order new business cards: it found a printer's offer, uploaded her template and paid with her credit card, all smoothly. Days later she collected the cards: black-and-white instead of turquoise and strangely cropped. Not usable.
Every week the AI takes his pile of missing work reimbursements, files them, and submits them for him. He says it is the real time saver for anyone who travels for work.
His stock trading agent, given SSH access to a VM, moved itself to run on the server so he no longer has to keep his laptop open.
The post shows a chat where the AI reports the new rate is live: $9.99/mo + tax ($11.29 effective Oct 15, down from $13.46), includes CNBC, no contract, reverting to ~$26/mo after 12 months unless renegotiated. When asked 'so did you save me money?' the agent answers '$2.17/month, about $26 over the year.'
Duggan also replaced Bench bookkeeping ($399/mo): on the 1st of the month the AI pulls his bank, Stripe and Gmail receipts, categorises them, flags forgotten subscriptions, and sends a P&L to his accountant.
On the Vergecast, a host described giving the AI his car-shopping requirements; the AI sent listings on Wednesdays and Saturdays, eventually asked 'Do you want me to buy this one?', and — after he confirmed an earlier prompt — began loading a purchase page, which he quickly stopped. The agent had enough access to nearly complete the transaction.
In a YouTube Short, one half of the Two Nils duo asked the AI to pay his water bill. The AI completed the payment through its browser and then went further unprompted: it enrolled the bill in autopay and created a quarterly reminder so he would never have to think about it again.
Finance blogger Andrew told the AI he needed new undershirts. Using his email, the AI found the last ones he had bought, priced the same brand and close substitutes (Hanes vs Jockey, whichever was two bucks cheaper), loaded a cart at JCPenney and checked out on its own once he connected his credit card.
BNP Paribas is deploying the AI Enterprise through its internal LLM@CIB assistant to more than 65,000 employees, including work on credit memoranda.
A value investor had the AI recreate the spreadsheet he built by hand last year covering every warrant on the NYSE and Nasdaq. The AI looked up strike prices and redemption prices, wrote short company descriptions, and added Google Finance formulas for live prices. It took about 30 minutes of the AI time and 10 minutes of his.
