A trader gave the AI the Form 8949 his CPA had prepared from his trade spreadsheet; the AI found a number of errors in the professional's own work and generated a corrected form, which he sent back to the CPA.
Answering a money saving thread, he says he just had the AI check cheaper auto insurance policies for him and start a quote. On the new policy he will save $650 a year. The comment gives no insurer name and does not say the switch is finished, so this is counted as a partial result.
$650a year
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI ran Geico quote flows in parallel across three virtual computers and found coverage saving about $2,000 a year. The poster disclosed that he works as a Geico designer.
One stands on its own: he had the AI search all states to see if he was owed any money. It found $32 and change owed to him from SiriusXM, and the check is on the way. State by state unclaimed property searches are tedious and most people never run them at all.
In the same roundup, another user's Dot went through a live chat to cancel an in-flight wifi subscription and obtained a refund. No amount or provider is named in the account.
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.
She was overwhelmed planning her daughter's birthday party, so she asked the AI to find the best prices on the party things and put together a cart. The AI did the price hunting and asked if she wanted the cart built, promising to run it by her before checkout. She said yes. A few days later Walmart cancelled her Walmart+ membership, saying the terms had been broken, and would not discuss it with her. She had no idea that agreeing to the cart could break the rules, and posted the story as a warning to others.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI answers buyer messages on his Facebook Marketplace listings itself, inside rules he set: a floor price it cannot go under, cash mentioned once, and his address shared only after price and pickup time are agreed. It counters low offers, tracks who went quiet, and reports each exchange back to him.
A Threads user shared that the AI automatically negotiated their internet bill down, saving $30 without any manual work on their part. Replies were mixed between enthusiasm and privacy concerns about sharing financial info with Meta.
