From the same day to day list, with the exact wording shared so others can copy it: every weekday at 11 am his AI checks AMD, Intel and Dell, and only pings him if one moves 5 percent or more or there is major news, staying silent otherwise. He presents it as the model for how he uses the agent: quiet ongoing jobs with a clear trigger, not a stream of updates.
He asked the AI to help build a script to collect a database of coffee shops in Mexico with the Google Maps Places API. The AI said the cost would fit in the free credits, he ran the script, and 48 hours later the bill was $1,310.05.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Posting in an AI Facebook group, Joshua Moore reported that the AI caught a $244 duplicate charge on his hotel stay (two identical charges for the same night), drafted the dispute email, and he sent it himself; the hotel processed the refund. His words: "$244 back in my pocket."
He had the AI start his tax work this year and it caught that his property manager had double billed him for invoices on an investment property. The catch saved him $6,000, and the token cost of finding it was about $6.
Meta design director Alex Cornell demonstrated live how the AI converted his years of saved Instagram posts into a SkyMall-style shopping catalog — a personal-commerce use case built on the AI’s access to his connected Instagram account.
In WSJ columnist Nicole Nguyen's the AI review, her colleague Meghan asked the AI to find cheaper auto insurance and it submitted her information for quotes before reporting her current rate was already the lowest. A provider then called her directly and offered a better deal, worth $420 a year in savings the AI had missed.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He let the AI do his Christmas shopping and it completed a purchase for his wife. He says he is excited to see what he bought her for Christmas, because the agent picked 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.
