New York Times journalist Eli Tan (who nicknamed his AI 'Wren') asked the AI to sort his emails, assemble his fantasy football team, and 'fiercely negotiate for a ceramic piece with a local artisan.' He called it 'the most useful app [he's] ever used.'
Clinton Stark had his AI Musey research skin cream for his wife Loni, recommend alternatives, and buy one on Amazon using his account on September 19. It was the first time an agent had purchased anything for the household — and it landed the night before Amazon began blocking the AI from its store.
She set up an AI that can look at her YNAB budget. When she is out and asks if she can buy something, it checks the budget and tells her if it fits.
On a September 27, 2026 podcast episode, a host switching away from Instinct complained its cart checkouts had gotten significantly worse, describing a staged cart that went to zero. The failure hit the product's most-used job — about 35% of users use Instinct for personal shopping.
In a screen-recorded demo, lifestyle creator Jenna Ricciardi's AI agent Glimmer canceled a subscription she had forgotten she was paying for, one of several delegated tasks shown in the reel.
He says the AI helped him cut $140 from his AT&T bill. He adds that everyone he knows who uses AI has similar stories.
Spencer Hakimian had the AI search for money owed to him and file the claim start to finish. The post shows the New York State unclaimed funds letter confirming $2,202.00.
Shriya Nevatia had the AI build a personal fashion app from her measurements, photos, favourite stores and budget ranges. The app picks a hero item, builds outfits around it, and keeps a saved list.
Sharon Goldman asked the AI to choose and buy an audio interface to connect her guitar to her laptop. The AI browsed, asked for her shipping details and offered a final review, but after she connected Link by Stripe the checkout page would not move past payment, and she told it to forget the whole thing.
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.
