An example of what your agent might say

“Your internet bill was $65 for each of the last three months and is $80 this month. The charges in Candor show the change, but not the reason. If you share the bill, I can check whether a promotion expired or a fee was added and help draft a message to the provider.”

Illustrative example, not a customer result. Your agent’s findings depend on your records.

Try it with your finances

Copy the prompt into your AI agent to get started. It uses your Candor records and asks for any missing context.

New to Candor? Connect your agent first.

Compare recurring charges in Candor with their earlier billing periods. Find meaningful price increases, distinguishing taxes, usage changes, annual renewals, and duplicate transactions from actual increases where evidence allows. Show me the before and after charges and help me investigate or draft a message to the provider. Do not send messages without my authorization.

Nothing runs until you send the prompt to your agent.

Compare like-for-like billing periods

Updated

A larger payment is a starting point for an investigation. It may reflect a rate change, but it can also include extra usage, a tax adjustment, a one-time fee, or an annual renewal. Candor supplies the charge history. A bill or provider notice may be needed to explain why the amount changed.

Check the answer

  • Compare posted charges for the same service and billing period. Keep pending activity and duplicate imported records out of the comparison.
  • Ask your agent to show the earlier amounts and dates beside the new charge, then identify which explanation needs a bill or confirmation from you.

Choose a next step

If the change is unexplained, ask for a draft message with the specific charges attached as references. Your agent should wait for authorization before sending it and remember the outcome for the next review.
