User has AI agent Dot call every phone carrier's support to negotiate the best deal
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-10-20
ChrisGPT shares a practical agent demo: his AI assistant Dot called every major phone carrier's customer support to find the best deal on a new phone.
The screenshot shows Dot reached a live Verizon rep named Josh and accurately relayed the key terms: a $40 upgrade fee, upfront sales tax, and promo credits spread over 36 months — with the credits voided if you pay off early or leave the qualifying plan. Dot then proactively asked the user for the iPhone model and a screenshot of the offer to verify the specific deal.
A concrete example of a consumer AI agent autonomously handling real-world phone negotiations, not just chat: it completed the call and returned verifiable contract details.
