Review a landlord deposit dispute for legal violations
Real-world thread: the tenant fed their move-out dispute into ChatGPT and Gemini, powered by the two models to cross-check each other, suggest flaws, and repeatedly re-review the case from a fresh context. From the tenant’s notes, the models flagged claimed violations covering AB2801, missing receipts and photos, corrected an overstated SF tenant fee, and Gemini drafted a formal demand letter and PDF that the tenant sent. The landlord returned the demanded $4,200 about an hour after receiving the letter, after initially trying to keep $4,200 of a $5,000 deposit.

It is one of 44 sightings filed under Knowledge & Notes on Agent Sightings (number 4 by interest), and one of 29 involving ChatGPT.
