Find two cheap seven-seat rental cars with Codex

The user Xcelerate needed two rental cars with seven seats each for a trip to Maine. Codex searched in the browser through the memberships at Avis, Hertz, Costco and Chase, queued the CAPTCHAs for the user, and a sub-agent read tips on Reddit. It found an Avis reseller with a discount code at 600 dollars, against 1,100 dollars direct. The user counts it as 1,000 dollars saved, but does not say clearly whether the prices are per car.

Try it with Codex

I need two rental cars that each seat seven people, from [date] to [date] in [place]. Search the big rental companies, through my memberships and cards, and resellers with discount codes. Give me any CAPTCHAs and logins to solve myself. Do not book anything. Show me a table with the price for both cars, cancellation terms and insurance before anything is booked. You are done when I have the three cheapest options and have chosen myself.

  • Ask Claude if you pay for two home insurance policies

    A homeowner had Claude, which monitors the inbox and reads a private document vault, check a renewal notice from an old insurer. Claude found two home policies on the same house for a year: the mortgage account had paid $5,292 to the old carrier and $2,883 to the new one. Claude searched 79 mailboxes, found no cancellation and drafted a backdated cancellation request. The refund is promised but not received, and the setup is homemade.

  • Build a negotiation sheet before bidding on a used car

    AnnaMarie Houlis at Moneywise asked Muse to prepare the purchase of a used 2004 Jeep Wrangler listed at 24,394 dollars. The agent found the price sat 3,800 to 5,900 dollars above a good deal, and that the dealer had already cut it by 1,500 dollars. It made a two-page PDF: open at 19,000, aim for 20,000 to 21,000 and walk away above 22,000. Muse made the plan, but could not negotiate with the dealer itself without more permissions.
