My subscriptions: [name, monthly or yearly price, how often I use it] Who else uses them: [household] Ones I already suspect I don't need: [list] Contract end dates I know: [any] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A table: keep, share, downgrade, cancel, with yearly cost and a one-line reason. 2. Ranked by yearly saving if I act. 3. The first step for each change (which screen or phone number, in general terms). 4. A note to check the cancellation terms before I click. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
