Make a moving checklist and change your address everywhere
Moving means telling dozens of companies and offices your new address, and something always gets missed.
What the bot does
- Fill in the prompt with your move date and accounts.
- Do the USPS change of address on the official USPS site only.
- Work through the AI's list, ticking off each organization.
- Set reminders for utility stop/start dates.
- A month after the move, ask the AI which items are still open.
What you end up with
A personal moving checklist by week, a list of everyone to notify, and the official USPS change of address done for the official fee.
