What they did

His telco bill covered 2 internet lines and 2 mobile plans. His finance bot read the bills and order emails and found the levers: a switching fee, contract lock-in, a price jump in month 25 and a forgotten Disney+ add-on that had crept from about €11 to €16. It drafted one contact-form message asking for a loyalty offer, with a comparison to 4 cheaper providers. He edited it and sent it. The telco called back: switching fee waived, one internet line about €9/month cheaper, Disney+ gone, and both mobile plans cheaper with an extra 15% loyalty discount. That's about €39 a month, roughly €469 a year (he rounds two years to $1,000+).

How it went

X post by @Legendaryy (Oct 28, 2026 UTC): one bot-drafted message, telco called back with the offer; about €39/month, €469/year; a fact-check bot re-checked the numbers. The '$1,000+' in his hook is two years of savings. Loyalty offers vary by provider and country

Prompt

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

Read my [telco] bills and order emails for the last [period]. For every line and add-on, list the price, contract end date, price changes and anything I'm not using. Mark each number as verified from a document or estimated. Compare my plans with 3-4 cheaper providers. Then draft one message for their contact form asking for their best loyalty offer (don't name a price), mentioning the comparison and asking to drop [unused add-ons]. Don't send, cancel or accept anything without my yes.
