A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
OpenAI's launch post reports that an early tester's Dot noticed he had forgotten to invoice a publication, prepared the invoice itself, and sent it after his approval. No amount or publication is named.
He told the AI to request anything it could get sent to him for free, with no limits set. So far a fabric sample and a lot of state travel guides have arrived, and he is a bit worried about how much more is coming.
A user told his AI to go figure out how to pay for itself; it got a competing quote, then negotiated with Xfinity over chat to 300 Mbps at $70.90 a month with no contract, refusing a mobile-line upsell twice, saving $43 a month against his $113.90 October bill. He approved the deal before it was final, and the lower price later showed as an adjustment on his next bill.
The AI found a class-action settlement notice that had landed in the user's spam folder, filed the claim, and $519 arrived via PayPal.
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.
A 37-year-old who suspected his big-firm advisor treated his roughly $800,000 portfolio as an afterthought uploaded his statements, gain/loss and trade history to the AI. The audit found two years of S&P underperformance - and the real problem: when he asked the firm to extend a successful Roth IRA strategy to his taxable individual account, they copied the exact same asset ratios across, so dividend-heavy holdings now throw off ordinary-income tax every year, a non-issue inside the Roth. Confronted, the advisor called it a known model limitation. He is firing the firm.
A user’s the AI found hard-to-find pens in a small Polish shop, emailed the owner in Polish, got an invoice issued, and paid it with the user’s approval. The pens were shipping by the time he posted.
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).
Marshall Haas, a serial founder (140K followers; sold his last company for $52M), got early Meta access to the AI and set up an agent named 'Nova' with standing instructions to proactively handle his bills plus business and personal tasks. His caption: 'Meta gave me early access to someone AI...
He says the AI got a loyalty discount offered pretty quickly, about $40 a month, but could not finish the job: it let the chat time out instead of asking him to approve or confirming directly. Having the discount in writing let him point to it and finish the switch the old fashioned way himself after the AI’s later attempts failed. He still counts the $40 a month as saved.
