Haggle.ai (AI-powered Negotiation Assistant)

An AI 'character' (haggle.ai) that automates negotiation tasks for users, specifically targeting vendor bills (e.g., software subscriptions), but expandable to other areas like parking tickets, bank fees, and bureaucracy. The AI would be trained by expert negotiators.

Why now

No one likes to haggle, and many people overpay for services (e.g., software subscriptions). The success of DoNotPay validates the market for AI-driven consumer advocacy. Growing comfort with AI characters/assistants doing tasks.
