Find subscriptions and a cheaper phone plan

A reporter used Meta’s Muse to spot unused subscriptions and a lower-cost phone plan, then reviewed each suggestion before changing anything.

What they did
The reporter gave Meta’s Muse access to connected apps and services and asked it to look for ways to cut monthly bills. Running on its own browser-based computer, the agent searched for recurring charges and newer plan options. It pointed out a few Patreon and Substack subscriptions that might no longer be needed, along with a cheaper phone plan based on recently announced data plans.
How it went
The possible savings added up to about $35 a month, or 3.5% of a $1,000 goal. That was far short of the target, but the reporter only used suggestions they had checked by hand.
Tips
This works best if the agent can see enough of your accounts to notice forgotten charges. Treat its findings as leads, not decisions, and compare any savings against your actual usage before you switch plans or cancel anything.

Try it yourself with Meta Muse

Review my recent bank and card statements from the last [3 months] and find any recurring charges or subscriptions. List each one with its monthly cost and, if you can infer it, when I last used it, then flag anything that looks forgotten, duplicated, or unnecessary. Also compare my current [phone plan] at [$X/month] with lower-cost options that fit my usage. Pause and ask me to approve before you cancel, change, or submit anything; only give me a short list of the most realistic monthly savings.
