The AI pulled my old Athens trip from Gmail and emailed for a new offer

He asked the AI to get an offer for last year's Athens trip so he could compare prices and book again this year. Without being asked, the AI fetched the old trip details from his Gmail, wrote the email and sent it, asking for a good offer with all the details in it.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI to get an offer for last year's Athens trip
  2. The AI fetches last year's trip details from Gmail on its own
  3. The AI writes the email and sends it, asking for a good offer with all the details

Why it’s worth knowing

He only asked for an offer to compare. The AI went into his Gmail on its own, found last year's trip and sent the email itself.
