Two-bot subscription audit with a gated retention negotiator

Value8/10
ProofSome evidence
LevelLevel up

An email bot builds a table of every active subscription from receipts: cost, billing date, how to cancel. A second bot takes one target at a time, waits for the owner to send "run it", opens the vendor's support chat, asks for a retention offer, and stops at the final cancel button. It is barred from accepting deals or confirming charges.

Why this scoreClear money angle, smart separation of duties, and an explicit go-word gate before any contact.

Prompt or steps

Bot 1: "Find every subscription I'm still paying for, what it costs, when it bills, and how to cancel each one." Bot 2 rules: log offers; never accept a deal, confirm a charge, or do anything binding without asking; start only on "run it"; stop at the cancel button.

Reported results

About 13 subscriptions found, three near $300/month combined; on the first target it found the bill was already $39.20, not $49.

Verification

The two-bot gated design is from a single detailed post. Subscription audits finding savings are corroborated by other users (Royce: $50/month cut; Imloulou: a duplicate Paramount+ charge). All self-reported.
