How I Built an AI That Saves People Money While They Sleep

I got tired of checking bank statements every month for surprise charges.

So I built Bento — an AI assistant that monitors your finances 24/7 and saves you money automatically.

How it works

  1. Subscription detection — scans bank statements, finds things you forgot you were paying for
  2. Bill negotiation — generates personalized scripts to lower your internet, phone, and insurance bills
  3. Refund automation — files price-drop refunds and late-delivery claims
  4. Warranty tracking — keeps receipts and alerts you before warranties expire
  5. Credit monitoring — watches for changes and alerts you

The tech stack

  • Next.js 14 + TypeScript
  • Supabase (PostgreSQL)
  • OpenAI API for negotiation scripts
  • Stripe for payments

Weekend launch deal

I'm offering lifetime access for $9 this weekend only. After Sunday, it goes to $19/month.

👉 Get lifetime access for $9

👉 Free scan: find your money leaks

Double money-back guarantee — if you don't save at least $500, I'll refund you $18.
