AI agent booked his Tatkal train ticket end to end

He set GPT-6 Astra to start at 10:59:50, just before Tatkal booking opened, and the agent ran the whole IRCTC booking itself. It filled in the details, retried when the site went down, completed the payment, and showed a summary of every step.

How it works

  1. Told the agent to run at 10:59:50 before the Tatkal window opened
  2. Agent opened IRCTC and picked the train details
  3. Filled in passenger details
  4. Retried when the website went down
  5. Completed payment
  6. Showed a step by step summary

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent waited for the exact second the window opened, pushed through a crashing booking site, and paid, all on its own
