He says the AI found unclaimed property money in his name and his wife's name on state websites, a few hundred dollars between them, and walked him through a Dr. Squatch class action claim step by step.
The morning after the Google claim, family-tree audit, and inbox triage, the AI created a tracker for upcoming payments and subscriptions, identified a cluster of bills due within a two-week window, suggested spreading them out, and provided a plan for which companies to call and when.
Karol says she asked her AI 'Hedwig' to audit her forgotten subscriptions. Screen recordings show a 'Subscription Before and After' dashboard dated Oct 11, 2026: recurring charges cut from 22 to 5, and monthly cost from $149.11+ to $58.73+ — about $90 a month saved — after which she lists the services she deliberately kept.
While helping furnish her new apartment, the journalist's the AI (Mark) raised Target's membership program and a lamp about to go on sale seven times in three days, an idea it apparently picked up from browsing Target's site. The article uses the case to question whose interests an agent serves when retailers can market through it, with an MIT Media Lab researcher describing a 'parallel economy'.

'I may have set the record for the craziest the AI purchase ever': amyleecodes had the AI order a Samsung S95H 77-inch OLED TV from Best Buy for same-day pickup, then arrange pickup and delivery to her apartment via TaskRabbit — about 95% seamless, with a photo of the delivered TV box to show for it.
His mortgage servicer first said his loan could not be assumed. He used AI to research why the loan did qualify, draft the letters and request packages with the supporting evidence, and find the right government complaint portals when the lender kept stalling, and the assumption went through instead of a refinance at current rates.
Dan Zhao posted a dark-mode screenshot recommending the AI for auto-insurance shopping, claiming over $1,000/year in savings. The comparison shows six-month premiums: Progressive $1,556 as the new leader vs Costco Connect $2,142.75 and current GEICO $2,324.63.
Marco Madonna spent three days in October having the AI turn the Excel workbook he and his partner use to run their house into a phone dashboard backed by the same Google Sheet, which was never replaced. The AI first mapped the workbook and flagged a total that didn't add up, the app now writes expenses and budgets back into the sheet, monthly broker reports are imported only if every check passes, and a verification script matched 50 checks against the sources with zero unexplained differences — plus it spotted a kids' savings payment likely credited to the wrong contract.
In shipwithmuse.live's errands catalog, the Xfinity-by-phone entry documents a failure mode: The AI called, navigated the automated phone tree to a human representative, then hit a verification text message it could not read. Its fallback was to patch the user into the live call.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A value investor had the AI recreate the spreadsheet he built by hand last year covering every warrant on the NYSE and Nasdaq. The AI looked up strike prices and redemption prices, wrote short company descriptions, and added Google Finance formulas for live prices. It took about 30 minutes of the AI time and 10 minutes of his.
Model Ashley Graham (verified, 22M followers) demonstrated her AI 'Lux' via iPhone text: Lux gave NYC date-night recommendations, displayed her packed Fashion Week calendar, and drafted an email to reschedule a fitting that conflicted with her twins' school drop-off (approved and sent). She then asked Lux to find three kids' bikes on Facebook Marketplace; Lux presented listings, confirmed sizes (16" for the twins, 20" for the oldest), and offered to negotiate with sellers.
A Reddit poster set up the AI to trigger on every order/shipped email in Gmail: it opens each product page, compares the current price with what he paid, checks the store's price-drop policy window, and drafts a refund request without sending it. He notes most checks find nothing, but the ones that hit are money he would have missed.
Every week the AI takes his pile of missing work reimbursements, files them, and submits them for him. He says it is the real time saver for anyone who travels for work.
A pipe burst in his house two months ago. He now has the AI run his side of the claim. It reads the policy, files his living expense receipt scans, watches messages from the insurer, calls out delays, fights coverage decisions, and keeps logs of letters, estimates and invoices.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A creator rebuilt the expense spreadsheet he once made by hand in 2021. One AI agent loads his bank movements into a Google sheet without duplicates and builds a summary with charts, and a second agent checks the first one's numbers.
The AI ran Geico quote flows in parallel across three virtual computers and found coverage saving about $2,000 a year. The poster disclosed that he works as a Geico designer.
Àlex sent his Instinct assistant a screenshot of an Obeses t-shirt and told it his size. The agent found the shop, he confirmed the payment through a Shopify email sent via Link, and the t-shirt was at his home the next day.
Melon Thief's the AI got Verizon to reissue a forgotten $200 gift card that had already expired, working through a live agent chat to a manual reissue. The replacement was set to arrive in 30 to 45 days.
Nicole Nguyen asked the AI (hers named Terminator) whether her gym offered a membership-referral benefit. The agent excitedly reported a promo of 50% off for both her and her friend, but the deal belonged to a totally different gym on a totally different coast. Her caption for the episode: even cuddly AIs can make mistakes.

PayPal had told the IRS he had done tens of thousands of dollars of business through it, when the real figure was $150. With its help he disputed the claim and the entire tax bill was eliminated.
Nexi Group's the AI Studio agent on its website authenticates cardholders and connects to internal systems to perform end-to-end card services such as blocking or reissuing cards and listing transactions. Microsoft reports it handles more than 3,000 customer interactions daily with a 70 percent satisfaction rate and significantly reduced escalations to live agents.
A man looking for a new cooker has an AI running on a virtual machine keeping an eye on prices for him. The agent created its own scheduled job that runs the price checks and messages him if anything interesting has happened since the last check.
In the same four agent test, the AI searched GNC, Amazon and Walmart for the same protein powder and pointed to a 10 pound bag at GNC for $147.99, about $0.92 an ounce. The link it gave led to a page not found error. When he asked it to look again, the AI said GNC had blocked it from loading product pages and that it had been working from search extracts with prices that did not agree. It also said it could not check Costco, Target or Bodybuilding.com.

His invoice agent processed 688 documents in 30 days at about $0.11 per document and made 3 errors, with no retry storms. He is open that a document marked completed does not prove every field was read right, so the numbers count finished documents, not verified ones.
