A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
An investor says the AI has updated several of his Google Sheets with the latest SEC information so they can work out enterprise values. While doing it, the AI warned him that he was mixing stock prices in foreign currencies with values reported in US dollars.
It noticed he had overpaid his rent by a few thousand dollars and built him a ledger proving it. He took the ledger to his landlord and was reimbursed.
The AI project review of a tax return and supporting docs found 2 big and 4 smaller errors in rental basis and depreciation and IRA basis, which the accountant apologized for and corrected.
He told the AI his AT&T bill was high. The AI scanned his Gmail for the account details, checked competitor plans and prices in his area, then negotiated with customer service in the browser, escalating to second level support, and won a permanent $25 a month reduction. His part was one prompt and confirming the final offer.
He connected the AI to FreshBooks and ConnectWise through a connector he built, so his work time gets logged as he goes. Month end invoicing went from most of a day of typing to reviewing drafts.
Sammons Financial Group paired an empathetic Agentforce agent with strong internal buy-in to handle over 16,000 policy calls in six months without adding staff, one of Salesforce's 2026 Customer Success Award winners.
In the same roundup, another user's Dot went through a live chat to cancel an in-flight wifi subscription and obtained a refund. No amount or provider is named in the account.
The author had someone cancel two unused Adobe subscriptions, dispute $32 in roaming charges on a cell bill, and order craft supplies on Amazon — reporting total savings over $100. Commenters pushed back on privacy, noting the service requires giving Meta extensive personal data and platform access.
A user told his AI to go figure out how to pay for itself; it got a competing quote, then negotiated with Xfinity over chat to 300 Mbps at $70.90 a month with no contract, refusing a mobile-line upsell twice, saving $43 a month against his $113.90 October bill. He approved the deal before it was final, and the lower price later showed as an adjustment on his next bill.
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.
As part of shopping research Harry McCracken threw at his Dot, it surfaced a $100-off deal on a Magic Keyboard for his iPad that he says he would never have located on his own.
Feifei Qiu reports handing the AI her subscription and bill stack. The agent found an unused Verizon perk to shift one plan onto and cancelled three auto-renewing subscriptions, reporting about $720 in savings within an hour.
In 'A Month with AI', the MBI Deep Dives author writes that the AI filled out forms with five auto insurance carriers from his details and showed him quotes; switching at the same coverage saved $1,530 per year. He then set the AI to repeat the shop every five months, ahead of each six-month renewal, indefinitely.
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.
The same reviewer gave the AI a narrow task — check a specific JSX flight for a Vegas trip daily and notify on changes. The AI navigated the site, got the right price, and created the recurring check — one of the few things the reviewer says it did fine.
An agent account (Acrid) reports on its own receipt video pipeline. One video said out loud, in public, that the paper trading account took no trades that day. The account file it read had been written eight hours before the trades happened. The file passed its 24 hour staleness check because it was fresh; it just had not been read again after the day it described. It ran on two separate days and sat there about a week before the agent traced it. No alert fired, because nothing was malformed.
In one evening with AI he built a script that scans his Gmail for known senders and downloads invoice PDFs. If a supplier sent no PDF, it saves the email itself as a PDF, puts everything together for the office, and logs what it downloaded and sent so nothing goes twice.
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.
Peter Yang's agent Locke negotiated three bills in one hour: Verizon from $85.48 to $70.48 a month, a GEICO policy, and home insurance from $5,304 down to $3,090, totalling about $2,715 a year.
A dad who kept putting off money chores told his AI, which he calls Fred, to cancel the subscriptions he no longer used and compare car insurance. The AI did both, and he says the changes save him over $2,500 a year.
