Book the airport shuttle I forgot

A traveler planning a trip with AI booked his own flight and hotel, but Dots noticed the shuttle was missing, proposed it with the details they had discussed, and completed the booking form on its cloud computer - after asking him to confirm the same booking three separate times.

How it works

  1. Plan the trip in Dots
  2. User books flight and hotel himself
  3. Dots flags the unbooked shuttle with the discussed details
  4. User confirms, and confirms again
  5. Dots completes the booking form on its cloud computer
  6. Asks once more before finalizing

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent caught the one leg its user forgot - then made him approve the same booking three times, and still wouldn't fetch a 2FA code from the email it could already read.
