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.
Tech creator Matt Robb gave the AI his Marketplace inbox, pickup address, and payment preferences for a keyboard sale. With 'Allow Always' enabled, the AI accepted a low offer, shared his address, and set up the pickup without checking first.
A Reddit user asked the AI to cancel their home internet plan. The AI canceled it and secured a $75 inconvenience-fee refund from the provider.
Alongside a media tracker site he built for himself, he has it check in daily: local news alerts, and deal scans on the products he buys regularly, using price ranges he gave it, with a buy now alert when a price drops into range.
Creator someone ordered three items from clothing brand Plus44 while in Turkey in December 2024; the package could not clear customs for a tourist without a Turkish ID and was returned. After the promised refund never came and the 120-day chargeback window expired in April 2025, later emails went unanswered. He asked the AI for help: The AI identified the UK company (Plus 44 World Limited), cited Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and sent a strongly worded letter demanding the refund within 14 days or court action. Within two hours Plus44 issued the $478.39 refund. (Caption carries his AI referral code.)
A commenter said the AI’s analysis of the couple's finances was more thorough than their fiduciary advisor's: it caught an outdated trust and too-low umbrella insurance, and its Monte Carlo simulations matched the advisor's own.
Fast Company's Pete Pachal asked his AI 'Jones' which robot vacuum to buy. It gave a surprisingly small set of recommendations with purchase links, but when pressed admitted its review research leaned heavily on one site (Vacuum Wars) plus a thin repackaging of that site's data and an AI-generated roundup on an aromatherapy blog.
He wanted an Encased iPhone holster that Amazon sells. Amazon blocks the AI from shopping on its site, so his agent bought the holster from Encased directly. He says this has now happened with three purchases.
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.
Built a purchase history scraper for Amazon and Kroger with price and quantity history views.
