My agent runs my 20 credit card and bill system with two dashboards

With about 20 credit cards, she could never keep track of what each one earns. The AI built her two dashboards. The finance one shows every card with her own nicknames for them, all her bills with due dates, one tap mark paid buttons, live checking balances through Plaid, and her credit score tracked monthly. The spending one logs purchases she texts in, like a shop name and amount on a named card, sorts them into categories, and tells her if she picked the right card, since it knows her rewards, like 6% on groceries on one card and 5% on gas on another. It also sends a Sunday morning roundup of the week's bills, reminds her which card to use before she shops, and warns her about quarterly reward caps.

Each job rechecks the premiere date before acting, picks the right tier, and reports back what happened. If a cancel fails it tells him instead of retrying forever. Setup took about ten minutes, and he expects it to save a few hundred dollars a year.
