How the agent did it
- Caswell identified unwanted recurring subscriptions and asked the agent to navigate their account websites.
- She entered credentials at login handoffs while watching cancellation-menu navigation.
- The author retained final confirmation review and reports cancelling Peacock, Disney and Netflix.
Amanda Caswell tested ChatGPT agent on subscriptions she no longer needed after noticing another Peacock charge. Her account reports cancelling Peacock, Disney and Netflix through the agent’s browser workflow.
The agent navigated account websites and cancellation menus, while Caswell entered credentials when a service required login. She watched the browser and retained the decision to confirm cancellation. The published walkthrough emphasizes checking the details before approving the final step, rather than treating a broad request as permission for every account change.
Caswell says these three cancellations completed without problems. She does not publish cancellation receipts, the prices of the plans or a reconciled reduction in later bills. The useful result is the reported removal of named recurring subscriptions, with authentication and consequential confirmation still involving the human.
The article also discusses service restrictions and supplies a Hulu cancellation prompt as an illustrative example. Hulu is not one of the three subscriptions in the author’s reported test. Website behavior and the agent’s access can change, so the account is a dated first-person result rather than a guarantee that every current cancellation website will work the same way.
