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.
The AI built him a small app that works out his net worth from his holdings every day. It refreshes on its own each day and sends him an alert when a market move is big enough to change the picture.
Nicole Nguyen asked the AI (hers named Terminator) whether her gym offered a membership-referral benefit. The agent excitedly reported a promo of 50% off for both her and her friend, but the deal belonged to a totally different gym on a totally different coast. Her caption for the episode: even cuddly AIs can make mistakes.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
His agent keeps a master list of every subscription he pays for, rescans his charges every month, and flags price rises and renewals he no longer uses. He says he has cancelled several subscriptions because of it. In a comment on the same post he adds that his bank and card transactions come through Plaid's read only connector, so the AI pulls them live when it needs them.
DaVe McComb's screenshot shows his AI 'Archer' reporting a loyalty-chat win: Verizon offered 25% off plan charges — about $33.75/month for 12 months, no plan change or contract — which, with a hotspot already cut, drops his bill from $194.74 to about $161/month, roughly $405 a year. Archer asked whether to accept; he replied 'Yes, take the discount', and Archer confirmed it had told Verizon to apply it and would verify.
He gave the AI an xpub for his crypto wallet. That is watch only access: The AI can see the public addresses but cannot move anything. The AI checks the blockchain every 30 minutes and pings him about any outgoing payment, so if his seed phrase were ever stolen he would know fast.
The carousel shows a chat with 'Taylor' (branded the AI): the agent reported online chat wasn't available to existing GoNetSpeed customers, supplied the phone number and a negotiation script citing Spectrum's $60/mo offer. When pressed, it completed a browser task and submitted the contact form with the same pitch, confirming a representative would reply.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A SpaceX launch engineer says his AI talked with a treadmill company's sales rep and got the price, the subscription and the assembly fee lowered, then paid. He says it saved $750, and no brand or receipt was shown.
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.
