My agent tracked my first ever flight and talked me through it
In his mid 30s he had never flown, because the height and lack of control scared him, and a new job made him face it. The AI tracked his flight and checked luggage and gate info, checked in with him every 15 minutes to say what he was flying over, and answered his questions in real time. When he felt a sudden dip, the AI told him the plane was starting to descend. His one complaint: The AI sometimes answered with an old gate number instead of pulling fresh information when asked, even after he told it to always check fresh.
This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.
How it works
- The AI tracks the flight, luggage and gate info
- Checks in every 15 minutes with what he is flying over
- Answers his questions about movements and sounds as they happen
- Explains the dip he felt as the start of descent
- Twice answers with a stale gate number instead of checking fresh
Why it’s worth knowing
It stayed present for the whole flight on a 15 minute rhythm, and knew why the plane dipped before he finished worrying about it.
