An illustrative example. Names and numbers are made up.

BBarbara Example
To: ask@emailsherlock.ai
Subject: Fwd: Your new monthly rate

Hi Sherlock, my internet bill went from $60 to $90. I've been with them 9 years. Can I do anything?

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Example Internet Co. <billing@example-internet.com>

Your promotional rate has ended. Beginning next cycle, your monthly rate will be $90.00. No action is needed.
Sherlock Example
To: Barbara
Subject: Re: Your new monthly rate
Yes, you can likely get this back down.

Hi Barbara, you have leverage:

  • You're a 9-year customer. Keeping you is cheaper than finding someone new.
  • New customers near you get a lower rate for the same speed.

What to do: Call the number on your bill, say "cancel service" to reach the loyalty team, then say:

Phone script: "I've been a customer for 9 years and my bill just jumped $30. I'd like to stay, but I need my rate brought back down, or I'll have to switch."

You always decide what to do and send any messages yourself.

Why I built Sherlock
"After the Palisades fire took our home, I spent months fighting companies that treated us like a ticket number. I won by refusing to back down. Sherlock gives you that same backup, one email at a time."

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. Your free week starts with your first email to Sherlock. On day 6, Sherlock asks if you'd like to keep it. If not, the week simply ends and you're never charged.

Can I add my spouse or partner?

Yes. The Household plan covers 2 email addresses for $29.99 a month, with the same free first week.

Is my information private?

Yes. We use your messages only to answer you, never sell your information, and delete your messages on request. Never send passwords, PINs, or full card numbers.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. Sherlock gives guidance and you decide. It isn't a lawyer, accountant, or licensed advisor, and it will tell you when to talk to a professional.

Will Sherlock contact companies for me?

No. Sherlock writes the reply or phone script, and you choose whether to use it.

Do I need a computer?

No. Your phone works fine. You can even email a photo of a paper letter.

How fast will I hear back?

Usually within a few hours. If it's urgent, like a possible scam, say so in your email.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract. Cancel with one email, and you won't be charged again.

Before you pay, sign, or say yes, ask Sherlock.
