Dots found three paid plans he no longer needed
He says Dots, the always-on agent in ChatGPT Pro, saved him more than $1,000 a year by finding subscriptions he no longer needed: GitHub at $50 a month, Office 365 at $15 a month and a GoDaddy plan at $115 a year. By his own numbers that adds up to about $895 a year, so the savings are real even if the headline is rounded up. Old work tools are a common leak, because they renew on a card nobody looks at. An agent that can read your email receipts and card statements can list every repeating charge in a few minutes. The decision about what to cut should stay with you. A domain or an email address tied to a plan can break if it lapses, so check what depends on a plan before cancelling it.
Copy this prompt
Go through my email receipts and the card statements I share, and list every repeating charge from the last 12 months: name, amount, how often and when I last used it if you can tell. Mark the ones that look unused. Don't cancel anything yet. For each one I pick, tell me what stops working if it ends, like a domain, email address or stored files.

Watch out for
- Check what depends on a plan before cancelling, like a domain or email address that would stop working.
