THE AI ANGLE
Finding and canceling unwanted customer subscriptions

Meta released an AI assistant called Muse that scans financial statements to identify and cancel recurring subscriptions. This tool removes consumer inertia that subscription-based firms rely on to generate revenue. Financial analysts also face risks that similar agents will automatically transfer cheap consumer deposits out of checking accounts and into higher-yielding funds.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Students can examine whether companies will lose profits as AI eliminates cancellation friction or gain business because customers feel safer starting new subscriptions.
