Claim unclaimed property using ChatGPT guidance
As described in the source, in a comment on the removed Reddit thread, someone said they got a mailed notice from a company offering to file an unclaimed-property claim for a 10% fee. They photographed the letter, sent it to ChatGPT, and ChatGPT told them to check Florida’s treasury site and file the claim themselves; they then submitted the claim without powered by the company. They said the claim worked: the fiancé received the money by deposit, it took only a few weeks, and they did not have to jump through any hoops.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 66 by interest), and one of 29 involving ChatGPT.

Help me claim unclaimed property using ChatGPT guidance. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
