What they did

A fintech founder listed what AI agents saved her in a few months: $1,100 in unclaimed property (Instinct), $87 by repricing a ticket after booking (Autopilot), $50 a month after it read her car insurance policy (Instinct), a $25 coupon code (Muse), and a $200 return handled past the return date (Instinct). ChatGPT also told her she might be underpaying property taxes ($0 so far). Her takeaway: the big wins are one-offs, so build agents into daily use to catch the small savings.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Run my money checklist: 1) Search unclaimed property databases in [states] for my name and past addresses. 2) Check recent bookings for price drops I can rebook or get credited. 3) Review my car insurance policy against current quotes. 4) Before I buy anything, look for a working coupon. 5) List returns I could still make, even past the window, with the store's policy. Ask me before filing or buying anything.
