Refunds, bills, deals and money you were owed · 465 ideasThe AI runs my quant research every hour, and one strategy already trades real money
His loop starts the AI once an hour with no human approval, a decision table in code picks one action, and each cycle ends in one pull request that a checking script may merge and deploy. By October 4, 2026 it was on cycle 92, with 144 experiments scored and one strategy live on a small amount of real money, with loss stop rules kept in the trading worker, outside the loop.

The AI found $535 of my own money sitting with the state
He asked the AI for ways to make free money, and it searched his name in his state's unclaimed property database. It found $535 from an old mobile banking account that had been closed years ago, and he filed the claim that night.

It stayed on the phone with AT&T for 98 minutes across transfers and got me a discount

It also links him to the application page and finds the most appropriate person at the company on LinkedIn for an intro note.
She let the AI order her new business cards; they arrived black-and-white instead of turquoise and oddly cropped, unusable
A Süddeutsche Zeitung journalist's first-person diary of living with AI: she gave it her email, credit-card statements and bank account; it surfaced a tax advisor's email she would have missed and offered to cancel a forgotten trial subscription, but failed at Amazon shopping (blocked) and online doctor booking. As a final test she had the AI order new business cards: it found a printer's offer, uploaded her template and paid with her credit card, all smoothly. Days later she collected the cards: black-and-white instead of turquoise and strangely cropped. Not usable.

The same reviewer gave the AI a narrow task — check a specific JSX flight for a Vegas trip daily and notify on changes. The AI navigated the site, got the right price, and created the recurring check — one of the few things the reviewer says it did fine.

The AI logs his billable time into FreshBooks so month end is just checking drafts
He connected the AI to FreshBooks and ConnectWise through a connector he built, so his work time gets logged as he goes. Month end invoicing went from most of a day of typing to reviewing drafts.
