AI Tool Promises to Save Israelis Thousands by Identifying Forgotten Subscriptions
An artificial intelligence tool can help Israelis identify and cancel forgotten subscriptions, potentially saving them thousands of shekels annually. AI expert Dalia Bieda explained on "Haolam Boker" that many people pay for unused gym memberships, apps, and streaming services due to forgetfulness or failing to cancel free trial periods. Bieda demonstrated how to use the AI platform Claude by connecting it to a Gmail account via connectors, which allow AI to access other applications.
Once connected, users input a specific prompt instructing the AI to scan their inbox for recurring charges and generate a summary. Bieda provided an example prompt where the AI is instructed to act as an experienced accountant and financial manager, review the user's emails over the past year, and list all regularly paid services. The AI then produces a detailed dashboard showing monthly and annual costs in shekels and dollars, along with a subscription table indicating status and renewal dates.
While the tool offers practical financial savings, Bieda cautioned users about the importance of exercising caution when granting AI access to personal email accounts. The full prompt details are available on the "Haolam Boker" Instagram page.
