My agent watches my golf club statement and caught 140 dollars of other people's charges
A man's golf club lets members charge to an account by giving a number, and mistakes land on the wrong member. The AI built him a watcher that opens his club statement every morning at 8:20, spots new charges by their ticket numbers, and texts him each receipt with the running balance. In two months it caught a 25 dollar and a 115 dollar charge from other members that he would never have spotted.

It stayed on the phone with AT&T for 98 minutes across transfers and got me a discount
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 AI bought my running shoes in the chat with Shop Pay

My agent moved me to a cheaper Xfinity plan it found hidden from the website menus
He asked the AI to check if his phone and internet plan was worth what he pays, and shared the agent's own account of what it did. The AI signed into his account and checked five months of statements: he uses 14 to 30GB a month, so his unlimited plan was charging him for room he never uses. It found a cheaper tier, Mobile Select at $30 a month with a 50GB data bucket, $15 a month less than his $45 legacy plan. The tier was not offered on the self service pages, so the AI opened the Xfinity chat, told the bot it was acting for him, got passed to a live agent, and handled the account checks, including spotting an expired approval link and getting a fresh one sent to his email. Before agreeing, it read the order review page: one line, $0 due today, $15 a month less, no add ons. His whole part was typing the word go. The saving is $180 a year from the next bill.

My agent vetted cheaper car insurance policies and started my quote, saving $650 a year
Answering a money saving thread, he says he just had the AI check cheaper auto insurance policies for him and start a quote. On the new policy he will save $650 a year. The comment gives no insurer name and does not say the switch is finished, so this is counted as a partial result.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
