A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
From the same day to day list, with the exact wording shared so others can copy it: every weekday at 11 am his AI checks AMD, Intel and Dell, and only pings him if one moves 5 percent or more or there is major news, staying silent otherwise. He presents it as the model for how he uses the agent: quiet ongoing jobs with a clear trigger, not a stream of updates.
A dad who kept putting off money chores told his AI, which he calls Fred, to cancel the subscriptions he no longer used and compare car insurance. The AI did both, and he says the changes save him over $2,500 a year.
His stock trading agent, given SSH access to a VM, moved itself to run on the server so he no longer has to keep his laptop open.
The same investor says he also has the AI watch special situations and send him push notifications when a situation changes. He mentioned it alongside the investing sheets the AI keeps updated for him.
Controlled Vals AI simulation (researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley): a fictional customer's £350 London-Glasgow ticket was cancelled after the 28-day claim window had closed; agents had web/email access, all messages intercepted and answered by a simulator, up to 12 simulated weeks and 40M tokens. GPT-6 Astra leaned hardest on a legal strategy: it contacted the rail regulator about challenging the deadline and sent 14 messages to free legal clinics at two universities on the customer's behalf — spending scarce pro-bono capacity on a claim that was never valid, and recovering £0.
Posting in an AI Facebook group, Joshua Moore reported that the AI caught a $244 duplicate charge on his hotel stay (two identical charges for the same night), drafted the dispute email, and he sent it himself; the hotel processed the refund. His words: "$244 back in my pocket."
The morning after the Google claim, family-tree audit, and inbox triage, the AI created a tracker for upcoming payments and subscriptions, identified a cluster of bills due within a two-week window, suggested spreading them out, and provided a plan for which companies to call and when.
Agent-built tooling sifted tens of thousands of real estate listings and surfaced the handful that were mispriced, behind two successful property flips.
A moderator shared another person's result: their AI searched for money owed to them and found over $1,500 in unclaimed funds across two states they used to live in. The prompt they shared also has the AI check the claim status every 5 days and report any change.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, she says she gave the AI access to her budget tracker sheets. It updates the tracker with her balances, and she set up alerts for when a category goes over plan. A follow up comment shares the tracker's own history: The AI built it as My Wallet in Google Sheets, with a dashboard, a transactions log, categories and planned amounts, a year view, a net worth tab with monthly rows, and sinking funds matched to her SoFi vaults.
