- What they did
- The author asked Muse to go through twelve months of Gmail receipts and list recurring charges he might not be using. He picked one, an idle Google Cloud database at $9.54 a month. Muse drafted the billing case and filed it after he approved. When Google refused, Muse drafted a follow-up.
- How it went
- Google said no at first. The follow-up Muse drafted got $114.14 waived 39 minutes later.
- Worth knowing
- Sending needs your approval, so nothing goes out without a tap. The author says to tell it to check Gmail for replies, or it won't follow up overnight.
