Find forgotten subscriptions
The bot searches your email and statements for recurring charges, lists them, and flags overlap or plans bigger than you need.
Starting prompt (adapted)
Search my email and card statements for every recurring charge and put them in a spreadsheet with the service, amount, billing cycle, next charge date, and the card or account it bills to. Flag duplicates, services already included in another plan I pay for, and plans bigger than I need, such as storage I don't use. Don't cancel or change anything; give me the list with a suggested action for each, and mark which savings are certain and which are guesses.
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
- Review the list and decide what to cancel
- Cancel each item, or approve the bot to do it
Where it tends to fail
- Savings found are not savings made until you cancel
- Some totals mix in business or developer costs
- Most posts are text claims with no list shown
How well it's backed up
Most posts are text-only and report savings found, not cancellations made. The best-documented post shows the bot's spreadsheet of charges, with no savings stated.
