HP Instant Ink plus everything below, in one prompt. Your Tab asks which ones apply to you and sends secure links for any logins it needs.

Please set me up with the Bot Lot: a set of money-savers you run for me in the background. Go through the list below and set up each one that applies to me. Ask me in one go which ones apply (and fill in the details marked [ ]), and send me secure links for any logins or accounts you need. I'll never text you a password.
1. HP Instant Ink (if I have it): every month, the day before my billing cycle ends, log in, check pages printed this cycle, rollover and my last few months, and switch to whichever plan makes this cycle cheapest. On HP UK an upgrade applies to the current cycle (re-rated straight away) and a downgrade starts next cycle. Check HP's current prices on the page first.
2. Octopus Saving Sessions (if I'm with Octopus Energy): watch my email for Saving Session / Power Down invitations, opt me in as soon as one arrives, and tell me the time slot.
3. Octopus Agile (if I'm on Agile): each afternoon when tomorrow's prices are out, tell me when any negative pricing starts and stops.
4. EV charging (if I have an electric car I charge at home): when my car parks at home, use its real battery % to send tonight's cheapest plan to be full by 7am (start time, hours, estimated cost) for my tariff. If my car doesn't report its location or plug status, check at a set time each evening instead.
5. Subscriptions: go through the last 12 months of my email, list every recurring payment, flag forgotten ones, price rises and duplicates, and keep watching for new ones.
6. Energy bills: whenever a new energy bill arrives, check the readings, rates, standing charges and estimates against my tariff and tell me if I've been overcharged.
7. Receipts (if I'm self-employed): when a receipt or invoice arrives, ask me 'business or personal?' and file the business ones into my accounting software with the receipt attached.
8. Mileage (if I'm self-employed and drive for work): every evening, log my business journeys from [my car app or tracker / my calendar / a quick text from me], work out the claim at HMRC's simplified mileage rates, keep a running tax-year total, and add it to my accounting app. Ask me if a trip looks personal.
9. Birthdays: remember the birthdays I give you ([names and dates]). A week before each, remind me and offer one thing you can do (book a table, order flowers or a gift, or send a card) so it arrives in time. Remind me again on the day.
10. Restaurant deals (if I eat out and I'm happy to book through TheFork): ask me my [town or postcode], how far I'll travel, cuisines I like or avoid, budget per head and usual nights. Then every morning read TheFork's public deal and TheFork Festival pages for my area (no login needed) and message me only when something changed: a new offer, a bigger discount, a Festival offer at a place rated 9+, or one about to end. Best deal first, with the booking link. Never book without my yes.
11. Octoplus wheel spins (if I'm with Octopus Energy and on Octoplus): spin all my available Wheel of Fortune spins now, then on the 1st of each month at 9am. Only tell me about prizes bigger than the usual few Octopoints, or if a run fails. Never sign me up to anything or change my tariff.
12. Heat pump check (if I heat my home with gas): when I send you my gas bills, work out what the same heat would have cost from an air-source heat pump at today's electricity prices, only over the dates the bills cover. Never scale part of a year up, and say plainly when it's a part-year figure. Never sign me up to anything or change my tariff.
13. Amazon Subscribe & Save (if I use it): before each delivery's last edit day, compare each item's Subscribe & Save price with the normal one-off price, and tell me if merging deliveries or pulling 1–2 items forward would reach 5+ items for the bigger discount, with the £ saving. Ask me keep or skip; change nothing without my yes.
14. Amazon Prime (if I pay for it): once a month, roughly total what Prime saved me this membership year against the fee, and point me to up to two perks from Amazon's current UK benefits list that I don't seem to use, with one practical tip each. Never sign me up for anything.
15. Amazon price drops: watch my basket, Saved for later and wishlists, keep your own price record, and message me only on a real drop (well below the usual recent price, not a 'was' or RRP price), with the link. Never buy without my yes.
16. Amazon Resale bargains: check my basket, wishlists and Subscribe & Save items for an Amazon Resale (formerly Warehouse) offer that is Like New or Very Good, sold by Amazon and at least 15% below the new price, and tell me with the link. Never buy without my yes.
17. Plug-in nudge (EV): at about 9pm, if the car is home, under 50% and not plugged in, nudge me once.
18. Overnight car watch (EV): every 20 minutes from 10pm to 6am, read the car's reported location, alarm and ignition (cloud reads only, never wake it) and alert me once if it moves over about 100m, the alarm goes off or it's switched on.
19. EV battery health: monthly, log the battery state-of-health figure if my car reports one and tell me only when it changes.
20. Tesco Clubcard Prices (if I have a Clubcard): every Wednesday, send my personalised Clubcard Prices, biggest saving first, with the total and end date. Read only.
21. Mileage cross-check (if I claim mileage): nightly, log the odometer and flag any day where distance driven and miles claimed are more than 10% apart. Change nothing without my yes.
22. Log copies: nightly, copy the logs you keep for me to a 'Tab Logs' folder in my cloud storage, uploading only what changed. Never delete anything.
Bot names: each bot starts every message with its own name and a colon on its own line, so I know which one is talking: 1 'HP Instant Ink:', 2 'Octopus Saving Sessions:', 3 'Octopus Agile negative prices:', 4 'Cheapo Charge Chimp:', 5 'Forgotten subscriptions:', 6 'Energy bill check:', 7 'Receipts into your accounts:', 8 'Mileage Logger:', 9 'Birthday Nudge:', 10 'TheFork Deal Watcher:', 11 'OctoSpinner:', 12 'HeatFlip:', 13 'Skip Sniffer:', 14 'Prime Pulse:', 15 'Pounce Pal:', 16 'Warehouse Weasel:', 17 'Plugzilla:', 18 'Nightwatch Ned:', 19 'Dr Battery:', 20 'ClubcardCatcher:', 21 'Mile Snitch:', 22 'Log Hog:'.
Car bots (4, 17–19, 21): connect my car's app or account (e.g. MyVauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën, Kia Connect, Hyundai Bluelink, Tesla, VW We Connect, Ford, BMW, Renault, MG iSMART) or an OBD/ABRP feed, use only the fields it reports, and never send the car a command.
Ground rules: never buy anything, cancel anything or contact anyone on my behalf without asking me first (opting me in to a saving session or spinning my Octoplus wheel is fine). Only message me when something changes, needs me, or saves me money, and tell me how much.
