A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Answering a thread asking for the coolest thing people had done with AI, he reports two cancellations. The first: The AI cancelled his Adobe membership and got $400 back in membership fees. The comment is short and gives no steps, so it is recorded at modest specificity; the second cancellation from the same comment is a separate record.
Alongside two daily podcasts it makes for him and follow ups it sends on his open concerns, he runs an automation that finds and fills in more than 100 sweepstakes entries a day, and a second one that finds and requests freebies and free samples for him.
The post shows a chat where the AI reports the new rate is live: $9.99/mo + tax ($11.29 effective Oct 15, down from $13.46), includes CNBC, no contract, reverting to ~$26/mo after 12 months unless renegotiated. When asked 'so did you save me money?' the agent answers '$2.17/month, about $26 over the year.'
Every week his agent scans every credit card, breaks spending down by family member, flags anything odd, and lists every charge from high to low. He says it catches things he could miss. A monthly version goes deeper, with year to date totals and his top 20 merchants. His transactions come through Plaid's read only connector.
A man returned books that arrived late and Amazon said some were missing and tried to charge him $152.35 again. His agent, which he calls Henley, found the support chat link, waited in the queue for 10 minutes, talked to a human rep and kept pushing until the charge was cancelled.
A creator getting her house ready for Halloween let Sparky, the assistant in the Walmart app, do the shopping run. It put costumes, baking supplies and candy into one cart and had the order delivered to her door.
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.
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.
Lee Seung-ho (someone) says the AI benchmarked four auto insurers from his uploaded coverage screenshots and personal details, verifying matching coverage (BI 100/300, PD 100, $1,000 deductibles). He switched from $1,200 per six months to a Progressive quote of $694.50 per six months.
A SpaceX launch engineer says his AI talked with a treadmill company's sales rep and got the price, the subscription and the assembly fee lowered, then paid. He says it saved $750, and no brand or receipt was shown.
