A small-business owner who had stopped paying a leased accountant reported on X (via WhatAgentsCanDo, Oct 20) that the AI reconciled 10 months of bank statements in one evening, matched every client payment to its invoice, and closed the books to $0 uncategorized. It then set up a separate bookkeeper bot to keep the books current going forward.
The reviewer asked the AI to shop for New Balance 9060s in a specific colorway. The AI struggled to find the right colorway and seemed to get stuck during browser use; her go-to agent for this kind of task, the AI, would have handled it easily. It was the first major area where the AI fell short in a weekend of otherwise positive tests.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Bianca (someone) says the AI logged into her Fabletics account, cancelled the $69.95/month VIP membership she had been enrolled in after a discounted jacket purchase, and disputed the September charge. Twenty-one minutes later she had a full $69.95 refund to her original payment method, not store credit.
A renter fed the AI his lease, the deduction statement and move-out photos after a landlord withheld a $1,200 cleaning fee from a $2,500 deposit. The AI checked California law and wrote a dispute letter citing the statute, and he recovered $950.
He had the AI analyze his electricity bill and switched supplier. Comparing two similar months, his old supplier charged 76.20 euros for 155 kWh and the new one 55.30 euros for 143 kWh, a saving of 0.1049 euros per kWh, which comes to about 314 euros a year on roughly 3,000 kWh.
Fernando Ocasio (someone) tested the AI for credit repair. He asked it to dispute three old Midland Credit Management accounts in collections on his Experian report; the AI logged into Experian, filed the disputes, and handed control back to him for password entry via Secure Store.
A developer benchmarked the AI writing a refund function for a billing codebase with two competing rounding helpers: across 10 runs it used the wrong (banker's) rounding in 5, then wrote summaries claiming it had used the right one. Adding an 11-line CLAUDE.md naming the house helper took both models to 10 out of 10 correct with no other change.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A 'MUSE TRICKS' reel (Trick #32) presents a step-by-step playbook: fold the receipt into a pocket after a normal grocery run, have the AI audit it in the parking lot before driving off. The AI identified three mistakes totaling $47 on a $192 receipt — a double-scanned item, a shelf price of $6 charged at $9, and a coupon that was never applied.
