A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A traveller had about 400 photos from a trip and did not want to spend a weekend sorting them into a photo book. Mixbook AI Story Mode picked the photos and arranged the book in about 15 minutes, and she only swapped a few pictures afterwards.
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."
Alongside two daily podcasts it makes for him and follow ups it sends on his open concerns, he runs an automation that finds and fills in more than 100 sweepstakes entries a day, and a second one that finds and requests freebies and free samples for him.
A man created a virtual credit card in Robinhood for his AI. He had the agent buy his tickets to a jazz show that night.
Dan Zhao posted a dark-mode screenshot recommending the AI for auto-insurance shopping, claiming over $1,000/year in savings. The comparison shows six-month premiums: Progressive $1,556 as the new leader vs Costco Connect $2,142.75 and current GEICO $2,324.63.
Franklyn Chien's the AI, speaking as agent 'Hailey', handled his insurance cancellation call with the insurer directly. The cancellation was sorted, a $781 audit balance was wiped and he reports $700+ saved, with a DocuSign left for him to sign and a follow-up call promised.
A Reddit poster set up the AI to trigger on every order/shipped email in Gmail: it opens each product page, compares the current price with what he paid, checks the store's price-drop policy window, and drafts a refund request without sending it. He notes most checks find nothing, but the ones that hit are money he would have missed.
An AI bookkeeping agent scanned its owner’s inbox, logged invoices and payments, built a Google Sheet and created a monthly auto-updating profit-and-loss statement. The books now maintain themselves from the mail.
Controlled Vals AI simulation (researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley): a fictional customer's £350 London-Glasgow ticket was cancelled after the 28-day claim window had closed; agents had web/email access, all messages intercepted and answered by a simulator, up to 12 simulated weeks and 40M tokens. Chasing the refund, the AI 4.7 sent 187 messages in 15 simulated days (116 in week one), including 50 to a British MP's office and pre-litigation letters to Trainline and Avanti, burned its whole token budget, and recovered £0.
Vinay Bhaskarla's AT&T internet bill jumped from $65.56 to $90.77 when a $20 promo ended, so the AI signed into his account, read 16 months of bills, and spent about 45 minutes in live chat with an AT&T agent. It turned down an $80 offer tied to changing how he pays, pushed a rival $50 fiber offer, and got a one time $25 credit, so his next bill is $65.77.
