AI agent negotiates car lease and mortgage, saving 15-20% by voice
armand_ruiz · x · 2026-10-04
A user details how the AI agent Muse, driven entirely by voice dictation, handled real-world negotiations: finding a dealer workaround for Chicago city taxes to cut his car lease 15% monthly, negotiating a buyout with a different manufacturer, getting Carvana to credit his under-mileage (20% total savings), renegotiating his mortgage appraisal, and planning an optimized airline strategy for a family trip to Aruba. Armand Ruiz, sharing the thread, notes 15-20% off a lease, a negotiated buyout and sorted flights — all by dictation: "this is getting serious."
