The AI talked AT&T down in live chat and got me a $25 credit

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.

Walmart cancelled my Walmart+ after my agent built a cart for my daughter's birthday

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.

The AI runs his Facebook Marketplace sales inside rules he set

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.
