Replace a pricey software subscription with a bot you build
Users report asking their bot to find software subscriptions in their invoices that it could rebuild, then building bots to replace them. One says early versions needed a lot of feedback before they got close.

The problem
Software subscriptions add up, and some of them do jobs a bot could handle for less.
How the bot does it
Users report:
- @shawnbuilds asked his bot to check his invoices in Gmail and design a team of bots to compete with any subscription it thought it could. He says early versions were about 10% of the quality and needed a lot of feedback to reach about 80%, at about a tenth of the cost. Those are his own estimates.
- @landbossbabe says she replaced QuickBooks with a bot after some tweaking.
- Keep the old tool until the new setup is proven, and keep your own backups of business records.
Setup steps
- 1Connect the email account where software invoices arrive.
- 2Ask for a list of subscriptions with yearly costs.
- 3Pick one to rebuild and run both side by side for a while.
- 4Tell it: don't cancel anything. Stop and ask me before paying.
Example prompt
Check my invoices in [email]. List the software subscriptions I pay for, what each costs a year, and which ones you think a bot could replace. For the top pick, propose a plan and what it would cost to run. Don't cancel anything. Stop and ask me before paying for anything.
The result
A list of subscriptions with a plan to replace one, tested before you cancel. Users' quality and cost figures are their own estimates.
