A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Another user describes the AI’s phone work. It called AT&T and argued for a discount because his service is poor where he lives, staying on the phone with real people across multiple transfers and departments for 98 minutes, and got the discount. The amount is not stated. His other two cases from the same comment are recorded separately where they stand on their own.
The author set the AI on finding the cheapest Broncos Sunday Night Football tickets with seat parameters; it scoured Ticketmaster and resale sites, then kept monitoring pricing every four hours for days. Once the desired tickets appeared, the author completed the purchase himself.
Prateek Jha attempted to order a Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew on a busy city sidewalk using AI on his phone. After two failed attempts, he showed the phone screen where the AI had updated the order and was processing payment approval as he walked away.
The AI ported the user's mobile service to a new provider in under 60 minutes, cutting the ongoing cost by 75 percent.
CData's Dot pulled monthly invoiced totals from Xero for one business unit and QuickBooks Online for the other, checked currencies and invoice statuses matched, and returned one combined table for November 2025 to August 2026. March 2026 was strongest at $28,000 combined; the post notes the test account held demo data.
Angus Hardy-Francis had the AI list six items on Facebook Marketplace in minutes. The agent priced from photos and created the listings.
His multi-agent trading stats setup has a second agent on another machine recompute results from the written method only; today it caught 2 numbers resting on an unwritten assumption, an import crashing above about 150K rows, and an outdated threshold, after the first agent's tests all passed.
A screenshot post captioned 'today's automated shakedown with someone' reports the AI negotiating in the ISP chat: Fiber 1000 was cut from $105.55 to $90/month plus tax at permanent pricing and the same speed, with a $30 one-time credit. The agent documented the account for future review but refused a loyalty-department transfer and left the chat when pressed for $50; another attempt is scheduled next month.
A shopper handed the AI a product and a budget and the bot hunted stacked discounts for him, finding about $310 off a $1,550 drone. The saving came from combining offers rather than a single coupon.
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.
A materials scientist with a PhD and almost no coding background built and shipped a live stock portfolio tracker over about three months and 277 commits, pasting code blocks the AI gave him into a terminal and pasting the results back. The tracker is not about returns: it makes him write down why he bought a stock and what would prove him wrong, then pressure tests his reasoning and scores how well his past calls held up.
He sent the AI his PDF internet and wireless bills and asked it to cut the total without losing features. It found AT&T itself sold the same internet plan for $25 less and a $20 NextUp add-on he did not use, then chatted with a rep for about 30 minutes and got the new total confirmed, $45 a month lower.
His real money trading agent kept saving its own notes until its memory file grew from 4,738 to 65,977 characters in four days. One night it retried a failing step 51 times, burned $36.91, and ate 43% of his whole project API spend.
He has invested for five years in big index funds, but as a Muslim he must purify any gains from companies that are not Shariah compliant by giving that money to charity. Companies move in and out of compliance every quarter, across more than 20 quarters of his holdings with gains feeding later gains. Four hours of work with Cowork and about $150 of tokens produced the full model and his answer.
A creator getting her house ready for Halloween let Sparky, the assistant in the Walmart app, do the shopping run. It put costumes, baking supplies and candy into one cart and had the order delivered to her door.
His scheduled the AI scan runs at noon daily over about 15 job sites plus any others it finds, matching UK product owner and knowledge management roles at £45,000 to £65,000 against his uploaded CVs. It drops anything posted more than 48 hours ago, anything hybrid sold as remote, and anything it has sent before, and it checks each link is still live, ideally on the company's own site.
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.
J.t. Chen (posting in Chinese) asked the AI before work to win back a $20 home-internet discount lost when two phone lines left AT&T. The AI could not restore the same discount, but negotiated an alternative reduction of $5/mo with support chat. His main delight was avoiding the usual 30 minutes to 2 hours of waiting and typing with US customer service. In comments he clarified the AI works over web text chat, not phone calls.
A man needed hardware for a piece of furniture and ran AI to find it. It beat his best Google results by 18% by finding smaller shops, applying a discount code, signing up to a newsletter for a better code once he approved, and checking the shipping by putting the item in the cart and going to checkout.
The reviewer asks the AI to search his Amazon order history together with product descriptions to identify which charger he previously bought that has both AC outlets and retractable cables.
Every week his agent scans every credit card, breaks spending down by family member, flags anything odd, and lists every charge from high to low. He says it catches things he could miss. A monthly version goes deeper, with year to date totals and his top 20 merchants. His transactions come through Plaid's read only connector.
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.
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.
Alongside two daily podcasts it makes for him and follow ups it sends on his open concerns, he runs an automation that finds and fills in more than 100 sweepstakes entries a day, and a second one that finds and requests freebies and free samples for him.
A man returned books that arrived late and Amazon said some were missing and tried to charge him $152.35 again. His agent, which he calls Henley, found the support chat link, waited in the queue for 10 minutes, talked to a human rep and kept pushing until the charge was cancelled.
Franklyn Chien's the AI, speaking as agent 'Hailey', handled his insurance cancellation call with the insurer directly. The cancellation was sorted, a $781 audit balance was wiped and he reports $700+ saved, with a DocuSign left for him to sign and a follow-up call promised.
Konik's dishwasher died mid-dinner-party cleanup. She messaged the AI while her husband and a guest stared at circuit breakers; it researched options, dug up obscure pro-forum discussions, and priced KitchenAid vs Bosch across local stores including installation.
Forkast reported that the AI shops and browses for its roughly 2.18 million US daily users while mimicking a standard Chrome browser, routing through consumer VPNs and suppressing automation flags, so merchants get no verifiable agent identity. Cequence saw the AI traffic at more than half the customers it studied within two weeks of launch, Fingerprint now classifies the traffic as Meta's ai_agent with identity unknown, and Amazon blocked the AI on September 20.
One itemized line in Armand Ruiz's September 15 errands post credits the AI with recovering $836 of his unclaimed property during a background finance sweep. The sweep's $2,120.95 total is already recorded from press coverage; this record isolates the unclaimed-property component that coverage did not itemize.
Alex (AI investor) saw his AT&T promo expire and his bill rise to $95.28. He used AI to negotiate, dodged upsell traps during the chat, and landed $90/month flat — about $63/year saved in under 30 minutes.
