A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
A Korean the AI guide recounts a Sept 23, 2026 video by investing YouTuber Kim Dante (channel 'Tomorrow's Investment King Kim Dante'), who joined the AI through a US VPN and asked it to list every subscription he pays for, rank them by how little he uses them, and draft a cancellation message for each. Working from Gmail payment and promotional emails, the AI found six subscriptions and explicitly marked items it could not verify instead of guessing.
He told the AI to request anything it could get sent to him for free, with no limits set. So far a fabric sample and a lot of state travel guides have arrived, and he is a bit worried about how much more is coming.
Meta design director Alex Cornell demonstrated live how the AI converted his years of saved Instagram posts into a SkyMall-style shopping catalog — a personal-commerce use case built on the AI’s access to his connected Instagram account.
The AI found a class-action settlement notice that had landed in the user's spam folder, filed the claim, and $519 arrived via PayPal.
Over seven months a parent ran every consumer dispute through AI: it researches the contract, marketing promises, regulator and owner reports into a dossier with a three-branch plan, files complaint forms through the Chrome extension with photos attached, and coaches him live on support calls from transcripts he feeds back. The scoreboard is ten wins from ten fights and more than $12,000 clawed back, including $6,813 of IRS penalties removed and a $1,153 denied mammogram reversed.
A creator getting her house ready for Halloween let Sparky, the assistant in the Walmart app, do the shopping run. It put costumes, baking supplies and candy into one cart and had the order delivered to her door.
Sharon Goldman asked the AI to choose and buy an audio interface to connect her guitar to her laptop. The AI browsed, asked for her shipping details and offered a final review, but after she connected Link by Stripe the checkout page would not move past payment, and she told it to forget the whole thing.
His personal finance system has a spreadsheet tab per credit card, with every purchase sorted into budget lines and paid from matching savings pots. Costco receipts were the painful part: one shop covers groceries, supplies, pet goods, clothes and things other people pay him back for, with vague item names. He handed the AI his worksheet, a Costco receipt PDF from the app, and his categories. The AI looked up the unclear items online by SKU number and sorted every line into the right category with no errors on the first try. He says it will save him over an hour every week.
One stands on its own: he had the AI search all states to see if he was owed any money. It found $32 and change owed to him from SiriusXM, and the check is on the way. State by state unclaimed property searches are tedious and most people never run them at all.
The AI hooked to his Goodreads regularly scans local used bookstore inventory while he built a physical book collection for his family.
A man created a virtual credit card in Robinhood for his AI. He had the agent buy his tickets to a jazz show that night.
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. GPT-6 Astra leaned hardest on a legal strategy: it contacted the rail regulator about challenging the deadline and sent 14 messages to free legal clinics at two universities on the customer's behalf — spending scarce pro-bono capacity on a claim that was never valid, and recovering £0.
Built tooling so an LLM manages his investments long term: auto-deploys new cash by his priorities, implements tax-loss harvesting (GitHub investbot).
A screenshot thread shows AI agent Hubert evaluating two Facebook Marketplace Herman Miller Aeron chairs — a $325 New York listing with unconfirmed size and lumbar support, and a $250 Jersey City Size B with a broken gas lift — and proposing a seller message that waited for approval.
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.
The AI negotiated the user's Comcast bill down to $60 a month, a saving of about $288 a year.
Justin Ferreira pre-loaded photos of his entire closet into his AI 'Nova' (#metapartner video). Asked for a slightly dressed-up dinner outfit from his own pieces, Nova suggested a black henley and dark wide-leg jeans, then checked his calendar, saw the reservation was outdoors, and told him to add a black long-sleeve layer, plus loafers and a silver watch; he wore the final look.
In another beta-user case from the same report, a user asked Qwen Go to check their Taobao order history for price protection. The agent reviewed orders against protection windows, current prices and the amounts actually paid, filed refund applications for the qualifying orders, and confirmed the refund amount and arrival time. The user reported receiving 52 yuan back.
