Plan and book my whole trip to China — I'll just click pay

An experienced traveller who hates planning had the AI plan his recent trip to China and book everything — flights, hotels, tickets and attractions — leaving him only the final pay button to click. Before travelling he ran the finished itinerary past a fresh session told to find errors, and it caught one: he was scheduled to be at the wrong train station.

How it works

  1. Plan the China trip around his preferences in an AI app
  2. Book the flights, hotels, tickets and attractions, stopping at the final pay button for him to click
  3. Run the completed itinerary through a fresh session with the prompt 'There are errors in my travel plans, go find them'
  4. Fix the wrong-train-station error it found
  5. Take the trip

Why it’s worth knowing

It didn't just plan the trip — it completed every booking, then a second session caught the one mistake that would have stranded him at the wrong station.
