A young woman in Los Angeles upgrading her home electronics lab used AI's 'Chef' agent to find a soldering station under $200 on Marketplace, compare five specific models, have the agent message sellers directly, and negotiate the price down $50 before she picked up the Hakko FX-888D, unboxed and assembled it on camera.
Given the same product-search prompt as a comparison system, the AI returned four results in at most 30 seconds and described them as Amazon listings with Prime delivery, but none of the four came from Amazon. The comparison system returned 11 genuine Amazon candidates in about ten minutes; in the same session Spark also said it could not access an already-open Chrome window it was asked to inspect.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
One user listed what his AI did over a few weeks: filed his homestead exemption back to 2024 (about a $4,000 refund on the way plus roughly $2,000 a year), switched his car insurance to Progressive (about $1,500 a year), moved him to a cheaper power plan (about $800 a year), filed 20+ class-action claims for him and his wife (about $500 expected) and applied to 15+ jobs that led to interviews. He put the total at about $9,000, with forms prepared for his approval.
Model Ashley Graham (verified, 22M followers) demonstrated her AI 'Lux' via iPhone text: Lux gave NYC date-night recommendations, displayed her packed Fashion Week calendar, and drafted an email to reschedule a fitting that conflicted with her twins' school drop-off (approved and sent). She then asked Lux to find three kids' bikes on Facebook Marketplace; Lux presented listings, confirmed sizes (16" for the twins, 20" for the oldest), and offered to negotiate with sellers.
The AI pursued a refund for a defective product by claiming on the extended warranty attached to the user's Amex card, rather than the retailer's return window.
Per the ai-first.fr writeup of the video: 'He gave it his card statements and his inbox, and the agent found a $200 the AI Max subscription he had stopped using, then cancelled it in the browser.' Reviewer says the AI saves him ~$1,000/month.
A pipe burst in his house two months ago. He now has the AI run his side of the claim. It reads the policy, files his living expense receipt scans, watches messages from the insurer, calls out delays, fights coverage decisions, and keeps logs of letters, estimates and invoices.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
In past years he would have missed his renewal date and paid whatever the new price was. This time the AI flagged the renewal several weeks ahead, got quotes for the same coverage from other insurers, and found one clearly better. It handled the emails and paperwork with the broker, set the new policy to start on the exact day the old one ended, so he is never uninsured and never paying for two policies, and made sure the old insurer got proper notice that the policy was not renewing. His whole part was reading one summary and saying yes. The saving was over $700 a year.
In a screen-recorded demo, lifestyle creator Jenna Ricciardi's AI agent Glimmer canceled a subscription she had forgotten she was paying for, one of several delegated tasks shown in the reel.
