Use case overview
A ChatGPT workflow finds bills in statements, looks up competitor prices, emails providers via Gmail asking them to match, and summarizes outcomes, with user review before sending.
Reported experience
What they did
In ChatGPT's Work mode with Gmail connected (or three months of statements uploaded), you paste three prompts. The first lists recurring bills and sorts them into negotiate, cancel or leave alone. The second finds three competitor prices per bill and drafts emails to current providers, shown to you before sending. The third sets a daily task that reads replies, accepts matches, counters once, and sends cancellations.
How it went
The source gives no savings figures or real results. It says the process takes about twenty minutes of your attention and claims it works more often than you'd expect, because providers prefer keeping customers.
Worth knowing
You approve each outreach email before it goes out. The later replies are handled automatically by the scheduled task, which is told to accept matching offers without asking you first.
Example prompts
Go through the statements I upload for [bills such as internet, phone, insurance], pull out what I pay each provider, and look up current competitor prices for comparable plans in [my city or zip code]. Draft an email to each provider asking them to match the better offer. Show me every draft and wait for my approval before sending anything, then summarize replies once they come in.
