The AI planned his Vegas weekend and kept the group money split straight by itself

A man used AI to plan a weekend trip to Vegas with elderly family, shortlisting dining and events around dietary restrictions. The AI also built a web app dashboard for the trip and handled the payment splitting: he told it what each person spent for the group, it kept running totals split three ways, and when a Venmo email arrived saying someone had sent money, it updated the balance sheet by itself.

How it works

  1. The AI shortlists dining and events around dietary restrictions and his elderly family
  2. It builds a web app dashboard for the trip
  3. He tells it what each person spent for the group
  4. It keeps running totals split three ways
  5. When a Venmo email shows a payment, it updates the balance sheet itself

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent updated the group balance on its own when a payment email landed, no one had to remember to log it.
