Yuchen Jin shared a weekend experiment with the dots agent: it combed through his recurring subscriptions and figured out how to save him about $500 a year.
The most impressive part, he says, was when the agent connected to customer service and handled an entire texting conversation on his behalf. He later joked that he misread the figure as $500M per year. A vivid demo of an autonomous agent completing a real-world task end to end.
