Received two hotel price-drop alerts and rebooked to save $17 and $30

Threads creator John Lam (posting as someone) used an AI hotel price-monitoring setup that sent two alerts when rates dropped on existing reservations, including a Hyatt stay; he rebooked to save $17 on one and $30 on another without manually checking prices. The post includes an AI referral code, so the account leans promotional.

Get my €900 flight refund after the airline said no

After Turkish Airlines refused his delayed-flight refund, a traveler used AI to escalate: it assembled a Turkish-language ombudsman filing with his screenshots and the rule citations, and €900 was refunded. He says he would not have had the cognitive space to do it alone.

Recommended 5 accommodations within a 2-hour drive from past Airbnb history and

MBI asked the AI to recommend five accommodations within a two-hour drive, factoring in past Airbnb stays; the AI reviewed his history and analyzed saved Instagram Reels to pin his preferences, then browsed like a real person. When he spotted a farmhouse and asked if he could book it directly, the AI confirmed within a minute that booking direct was 60% cheaper than Airbnb — after which he sold his Airbnb shares.

Connected Gmail; the AI reminded him of an upcoming flight and completed check-in

Jason Zhang, testing the AI for a week, listed five uses: (1) flight check-in — Gmail connected, the AI reminded him of an upcoming flight and completed check-in in its private browser; (2) meeting scheduling — Google Calendar connected, creates events like 'Jason / Emma chat' without opening the app; (3) Google Docs drafting — asks the AI to generate drafts from his ideas, uploaded directly to Drive; (4) job applications via the private browser; (5) sending messages to friends via connected Messenger

Add my frequent-flier number to my partner-airline booking

Tech executive Matthew Simari posts that he asked the AI to add his frequent-flier number to an upcoming trip on a partner airline. The AI located the confirmation number in his email, navigated to the booking, added the number, and confirmed completion with him.

Make my VIP airport lounge reservations with my stored credentials

In a Spanish-language demo, tech creator MarcianoTech shows entering his BeforeBoarding login into AI's secure credentials store so it never has to ask permission, then the AI reporting back two completed VIP lounge reservations made with his Banreservas Infinite membership: flight AA2265 on December 3 (departure) and AA1154 on December 7 (arrival). When the departure system got stuck, the AI asked him to confirm the correct outbound flight, and he corrected it to AA2099.

File my delayed-flight compensation claim with Delta

A user lists jobs he handed to the AI, including a delayed flight: he says the AI successfully processed his compensation claim with Delta Air Lines and the money came through. Other jobs in the same post (a Bell Mobility bill dispute, a crypto trading bot) he reports doing himself or failing, and are not recorded here.

After a founder left his ID on a plane, the AI autonomously arranged

In a clip from David Senra's interview with Meta's Alexandr Wang (shared on Instagram by someone), Senra recounts a billion-dollar-company founder friend who left his ID on a plane and told the AI he didn't want to be involved in the recovery process at all. The AI arranged a courier, coordinated with building security, went to the office, retrieved the ID, and got it back to him.

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. Worth knowing before you try it.
