The AI reads my email and keeps my United status chart updated

A United flyer in a status match challenge had the AI set up an agent that checks his Gmail for upcoming flights and adds the bookings he expects to take. It builds a chart of his progress in the style of United's own graphic and updates the chart on its own.

Why it’s worth knowing

The airline only tracked the flights he had already flown. His agent watches his inbox and keeps the chart of what is still coming up to date by itself.
