Book me a hotel and a shuttle when I am too shattered to think

Blogger Clarissa was flying from Madrid to Montreal because her mother is dying. Her plane broke, the replacement flight was cancelled, the airline abandoned the passengers after a three-hour support line, and she had to buy a new ticket for the next day. Too exhausted to function, she handed the rest to her AI agent, which booked a hotel near the airport, told her what to say to the cab driver, and booked her shuttle for the morning.

How it works

  1. Flight breaks on the runway, replacement flight cancelled
  2. Three-hour support line ends with the airline refusing help
  3. She buys a next-day ticket herself
  4. Agent books a hotel near the airport
  5. Agent tells her what to say to the cab driver
  6. Agent books the airport shuttle for the morning

Why it’s worth knowing

The booking is the least of it — at the moment her executive function gave out entirely, the agent also scripted what to say to the cab driver. It did the thinking, not just the transaction.
