Track subscriptions and renewals from Gmail
The writer used ChatGPT Agent to search Gmail for renewal emails, extract service, date and cost into a list, and ask before unsubscribing; it also found cheap gas nearby.
Done withChatGPT Agent
- What they did
- The writer switched on Agent Mode in ChatGPT and gave it access to her Gmail. It searched the inbox for terms like renewal, subscription and auto-renew, or for service names. It opened each relevant email and pulled out the service, renewal date and cost into a short list. It was meant to ask permission before unsubscribing from anything. For gas, she gave it her zip code.
- How it went
- She says it helped her cancel unused streaming services and saved her family money on gas. The article gives no figures and doesn't show the resulting list.
- Worth knowing
- This needs you to give ChatGPT access to your email. The writer says that won't suit everyone, and a plain cancellation reminder is the alternative.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

Sort it by upcoming renewal date and tell me the total monthly and yearly spend. Stop when the list is complete, and ask me before you unsubscribe or cancel anything.
