Check a bill that jumped
The bot logs into a utility account and checks usage and charges when a bill looks wrong.
Starting prompt (adapted)
My bill jumped compared with last month. Log into my utility account and compare this bill with previous months: usage, rates, fees, and any estimated readings. Tell me whether the increase comes from higher use, a rate change, or a possible error, and show me the lines that changed. Do not file a dispute or contact the provider until I approve it.
Written for this site from what the cases below did. It is a starting point, not a prompt anyone posted. Fill in the parts in brackets.
What you still do
- Point the bot at the bill that looks wrong
- Act on the findings, such as changing how you use AC or heating
Where it tends to fail
- The bill may be correct, with higher use explaining the jump
- The only saving may come from changing your own usage
How well it's backed up
So far this is a single text-only post, and the bot found the bill was correct: higher use, not an error, so nothing was saved.
Text only: 1.
