She keeps an AI side chat called Wish List. Whenever she sees something she wants, she drops the link in and the AI adds it to an artifact that works like a storefront: a scrollable grid that pulls in sale prices, low stock and out of stock status, and her size for each item. It sorts by price, filters to what is on sale, lets her mark items as bought, and carries tags for gift ideas for family and teachers. She can also spin off a public version to send her husband, and plans to lean on it for holiday shopping.
He gave the AI a prompt to search 24 months of his Gmail, 2,812 emails, and list the subscriptions he was still paying for. With his approval it cancelled ClassPass at 9,900 yen a month, a saving of 118,800 yen a year, and a confirmation email arrived to prove the cancellation went through.
In FUNDA's analysis of 654 the AI use cases, one money case is a user who had the AI call AT&T and replace an $85/month 500 Mbps plan with a $40/month 1 Gbps plan — a $45/month saving ($540/year) with a speed upgrade. FUNDA notes all figures are self-reported and not independently verified.
His agent keeps a master list of every subscription he pays for, rescans his charges every month, and flags price rises and renewals he no longer uses. He says he has cancelled several subscriptions because of it. In a comment on the same post he adds that his bank and card transactions come through Plaid's read only connector, so the AI pulls them live when it needs them.
A man connected his local agent to Monarch Money through an open source MCP project, with some AI help on the login. The agent can now pull his transactions and look at spending patterns, and the AI generates a daily report from it.
Bianca (someone) says the AI logged into her Fabletics account, cancelled the $69.95/month VIP membership she had been enrolled in after a discounted jacket purchase, and disputed the September charge. Twenty-one minutes later she had a full $69.95 refund to her original payment method, not store credit.
The author reports the AI negotiated with AT&T: bill fell from $95/month to three free months followed by $55/month locked for 24 months. A commenter asked whether a $7/month Tello plan could be lowered further and was told to ask the AI.
A tattooed man in an industrial loft apartment demonstrates his AI 'Doug' handling household tasks: researching products, selecting a herringbone wool throw blanket from Simons, placing the order with his connected credit card, tracking shipping through connected Gmail, and agreeing to send daily status updates. He notes Doug only accesses explicitly connected apps (Gmail, Stripe, Instagram, Facebook, shared files).
A bearded creator (Medo, 6.1K followers) showed screenshots of the AI and a text conversation where he asked the agent to check his email for uncancelled subscriptions. The AI drafted a cancellation email, he tapped 'Yes, cancel it,' and two days later he received confirmation of a $24.99 refund.
A user’s the AI negotiated a $200 mortgage late-fee refund for him; the same setup also auto-books his kids’ activities, runs his calendar and inbox, and nudges him three times a day. The refund came from the bot arguing his case with the lender.
An AppleVis user had the AI file missing American Airlines mileage-shopping claims for two Best Buy purchases made during a tax holiday, pulling receipt data from Gmail. The user got the confirmation email that the claims were filed.
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.
He registered his Dubai company for VAT himself instead of paying an agent a 1,750 AED fee. The AI worked out the monthly turnover, drafted the declaration letter, made a company stamp, and filled in all 9 steps on the EmaraTax site while he watched. He signed and hit submit.
A man gave the AI strict tag research tasks and had it work through the whole ticker list again and again, searching and comparing XBRL tags in SEC filings. The pipeline now pulls 10-K and 10-Q filings for more than 600 companies, maps tags onto about 35 financial concepts, and produces cleaned data. Doing 3 tickers by hand had taken him about 3 weeks and still gave wrong data.
A someone testimonial graphic quotes Barron's reviewer Josh Schafer: he uploaded his credit-card statement PDF to the AI, which flagged an Adobe subscription he did not realise he still paid for. Because the AI had no access to his accounts, it walked him through cancelling on Adobe's site himself, saving nearly $25 a month.
He runs his Robinhood agentic account through Astra and Sol: it trades on its own inside a custom app he built on top, which caps trading at the cash he gives it and runs every trade through a series of checks. He gets a note each day on what is going on with the account.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The Verge's Emma Roth linked her Amazon account and asked the AI to pick workout tops by size, style and color. Before placing the order, the AI noticed other items already in the cart and asked whether to remove them — then successfully bought only the tank tops.
