Posted by @KettlebellDan on X, .
The poster's claim
Several unknown subscriptions cancelled; no amount stated.
The money
- Type
- No amount stated
- Measured against
- Compared with the previous bill
How this is counted: No amount stated; no value estimated.
What the post shows
Evidence: Text only The post states the result but shows nothing that backs it up.
The only image is a spending-by-category heatmap, which does not show any cancellation, so the cancellation claim stays text only.
Stage: Reported done As reported, the change is in effect or the money has landed. This says what was reported, not how well it is proven.
What they asked the bot
Prompt (adapted)
Analyze my spending, flag where to cut, and recommend a monthly budget.
Paraphrased from the post, not the exact words.
What the bot did
Connected bank and cards through the Finance plugin (Plaid), built a budget per category, listed every subscription and helped cancel several, including forms for hard-to-cancel companies. A daily routine flags new subscriptions and overspending.
