I Let AI Pick My Phone Plan—Here’s What Happened

Confession time: I had no clue what was in my phone plan. All I knew was that I had one line, I was paying around $80 a month, and sometimes I’d lose service when my friends had perfect bars.

So, I let Goji's AI assistant, Barry, pick my next phone plan for me. Yep. I literally handed over the decision to AI. And honestly? It didn’t disappoint.

Let me tell you how it went.

Step 1: I Asked Barry for Help

Instead of scrolling through endless carrier sites trying to decode plan lingo (they had me at deprioritization), I opened the Goji app and started chatting with Barry.

Barry asked me a few questions:

• Where do you use your phone the most?
  
  
• Who’s your current carrier?
  
  
• How many lines are on your plan?
  
  
• How much do you pay each month?
  
  
• How much data do you need?
  

And within seconds… Barry was ready to show me some options.

Step 2: I Swiped Through Plans—Literally

Before giving me final recommendations, Barry wanted to see if we were on the same page.

Barry gave me 3 potential plans and told me to swipe to tell him which ones I like (or don’t like).

So I swiped. Right for plans I liked. Left for the ones I didn’t. It felt kind of like online dating—but for phone plans.

And it worked. Barry took the hint and adjusted the recommendations based on what I said yes or no to.

Step 3: Barry’s Top Picks for Me

Once I finished swiping, Barry gave me a full list of plans that matched my needs. Here are the top 5 plans it picked:

US Mobile Annual Plan: Unlimited Premium

A full-featured plan with tons of data at a better price than I expected.

AT&T Value Plus Plan VL

A single-line plan with solid value and nationwide coverage.

Cricket Unlimited +15GB Mobile Hotspot

Unlimited data and a mobile hotspot? Yes, please.

Visible by Verizon: Visible+

A simplified, affordable plan with premium perks.

Mint Mobile 12 Month Plan Unlimited

Budget-friendly, especially if you don’t mind prepaying.

So… What’s the Catch?

Honestly? There wasn’t one.

My bill is lower. My coverage hasn’t dropped. And I actually know what’s in my plan now.

I now have a list of plans personalized to my needs, wants, and location, in just a few minutes, without ever getting off the couch.

So if you’re waiting for the fine print… there isn’t any.
