A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A Fast Company reviewer found the AI’s background initiative the most striking part of testing: periodically the agent sent unprompted notifications with prepared reports — how to decrease the electric bill, or how to sell the reviewer's old Tesla for top dollar — without being asked to work on either.
Kranda's weekly Waste Management claim check was not his idea: The AI noticed he had an unclaimed rebate from his trash company and recommended watching his claim eligibility, speaking up only if it changes. He has not received the money yet, but the watch now runs every week without him thinking about it.
His budget app and his bank balance were $50 apart. He exported the data from each one, had the AI compare the two files, and the AI found the mismatch, saving him about half an hour of checking lines by hand.
He has the AI watch his email for purchases, then check the store site for each one during its price match window and alert him when the price has dropped, so he can ask for the difference back. He says he is over $700 saved so far. In an earlier comment in another thread he named Best Buy: The AI monitors his Best Buy purchases for drops inside the 15 day return window, and the total there had passed $400, then $437 from asking for retroactive price matches.
A Threads user shared that the AI automatically negotiated their internet bill down, saving $30 without any manual work on their part. Replies were mixed between enthusiasm and privacy concerns about sharing financial info with Meta.
She keeps an AI side chat called Wish List. Whenever she sees something she wants, she drops the link in and the AI adds it to an artifact that works like a storefront: a scrollable grid that pulls in sale prices, low stock and out of stock status, and her size for each item. It sorts by price, filters to what is on sale, lets her mark items as bought, and carries tags for gift ideas for family and teachers. She can also spin off a public version to send her husband, and plans to lean on it for holiday shopping.
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.
The use-cases directory records someone having the AI monitor the Apple Store online and notify when an iPhone became available to pre-order — stock-watch automation for a launch.
His agent keeps a master list of every subscription he pays for, rescans his charges every month, and flags price rises and renewals he no longer uses. He says he has cancelled several subscriptions because of it. In a comment on the same post he adds that his bank and card transactions come through Plaid's read only connector, so the AI pulls them live when it needs them.
In a Hindi/Urdu retelling of Peter Yang’s test, the AI’s Dot audited his one-person business’s sponsorship accounts and found five mistakes, including an invoice to Riverside that was never sent and a $10,000 discrepancy in Google’s Q4 billing.
