A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
After Amazon blocked automated login windows, a user built a small HTTP API on a machine they control. The AI SSHes in and calls http://127.0.0.1:8792 to search Amazon and add items to a personal or Prime Business cart (no checkout).
He says the AI manages his Marketplace listings for him. Stuff that sat around unused is finally selling.
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.
In a thread about a Garmin MCP and privacy tradeoffs, a commenter says the AI found errors his CPA had made in his returns. Amending them recovered over $100,000, at the cost of feeding the agent a lot of personal financial information.
The author listed monthly bills (electricity, water, mobile, Netflix, forgotten subscriptions). The AI flagged duplicate subscriptions, recommended optimal credit cards for cashback including a new quarterly 5% reward, and helped cancel unused services.
The same investor says he also has the AI watch special situations and send him push notifications when a situation changes. He mentioned it alongside the investing sheets the AI keeps updated for him.
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.
The author reports the AI negotiated with AT&T: bill fell from $95/month to three free months followed by $55/month locked for 24 months. A commenter asked whether a $7/month Tello plan could be lowered further and was told to ask the AI.
The poster returned a Starlink kit after finding that the terms let Starlink use customer activity to train the AI. Starlink's the AI agreed to an $84.75 refund, then changed its mind six weeks later.
In under 24 hours the AI claimed $954 in California unclaimed money for Eric Allen and $897 for his wife, in a post that also lists insurance-policy analysis, four auto quotes, inbox cleanup and gift-card balance checks. Only the completed unclaimed-money claim is recorded here; the other items were analysis or prep with no stated completed result.
