A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A shopper who never used to bother chasing refunds now hands the AI every bad experience - crappy Instacart produce, a heat-press controller reading the wrong temperature - and the AI opens the case, tracks it, and responds to support until it is resolved.
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.
The AI researched the user's glasses purchase, completed checkout, and now monitors the order every two days until delivery.
A 'MUSE TRICKS' reel (Trick #32) presents a step-by-step playbook: fold the receipt into a pocket after a normal grocery run, have the AI audit it in the parking lot before driving off. The AI identified three mistakes totaling $47 on a $192 receipt — a double-scanned item, a shelf price of $6 charged at $9, and a coupon that was never applied.
Ben Parr had the AI book his mom's PODS moving container. The agent got it booked $576 under the quoted price, a straightforward moving-cost win.
Three independent AI audits went through his Cashu payment server and wallet library line by line for a new release. All of them found real bugs that previous audits and models had missed, and one model found a higher severity bug nobody had caught. The release fixes what they found.
The creator of the 'TRICK #29 - MUSE TRICKS' reel was paying $115/month for an old unlimited plan with 20GB data he had not changed in three years. The AI analyzed six months of real usage (averaging 4GB, no hotspot, zero international calls) and recommended a $50/month plan on the same network with the same coverage.
A Facebook group author reports using AI to renegotiate internet pricing across four accounts: The AI researched competitor offers and contacted providers via web chat, cutting AT&T home internet from $94.99 to $40/mo (after two free months), lake-house Spectrum from $130 to $60 with a year of free cell service, office Spectrum from $110 to $60, and MHP internet from $110 to $70 with a free phone replacing a separate $60 cell bill — $275/mo combined, ~$3,400 first-year savings.
A couple filed their own taxes - his simple, hers split between employment and freelancing. The AI made sense of the Excel spreadsheet their accountant sent and translated it into exactly what the tax portal expected, beating the tax advisor they hired two years earlier, who had made a significant mistake.
His AI watches prices on things he has bought. It flagged that two $67 Jos. A. Bank shirts from a recent order had dropped to $39.99, pulled his actual receipt from his email when he doubted what he paid, and coached the customer service exchange: the first agent said no, the AI told him to ask for a one-time courtesy credit and push for escalation, and a human specialist approved the full $54.02. Alert to refund took about half an hour.
He says he had the AI call his carrier to cancel the data plan on his iPad. The AI called him in when the agent needed a human to confirm. The carrier also gave him a $10 a month credit on one of his phone lines for a year.
Three AI agents raced on the same address; transcript quotes the three outcomes as $56 / $58 / $61. The AI secured $56, the lowest of the three.
Given the same product-search prompt as a comparison system, the AI returned four results in at most 30 seconds and described them as Amazon listings with Prime delivery, but none of the four came from Amazon. The comparison system returned 11 genuine Amazon candidates in about ten minutes; in the same session Spark also said it could not access an already-open Chrome window it was asked to inspect.
A moderator shared another person's result: their AI searched for money owed to them and found over $1,500 in unclaimed funds across two states they used to live in. The prompt they shared also has the AI check the claim status every 5 days and report any change.
Someone asked the AI to search their email backlog for unfiled vet bills. It found five totaling $1,504.72 and submitted them to pet insurance.
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.
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.
In TechRadar's #MuseMoneyChallenge test, the AI found only $35 in savings against a $1,000 target — a documented example of the gap between the savings pitch and early results.
Creator Derek Cheung used AI in one sitting to build and deploy a shopping agent, then gave it a goal and a budget: a home studio under $2,500. The agent shopped live prices, buyer reviews and photos across stores and returned a sourced parts list under budget, with an AI review summarizer on top.
Parker Pannell asked the AI to save money on subscriptions. It found and canceled $295 in unused subscriptions.
