Find the refund hiding in my inbox

After SAS cancelled and rebooked his family's Oslo flight and a human agent said the dropped prepaid meal fees couldn't be fixed, a father asked the AI to pursue the reimbursement he had never filed since July. The AI searched all his SAS emails and found the airline had already reimbursed the fees the day of the change - buried under that day's notification spam.

The AI ran their 14 day Japan trip live, re-timing days from his phone

A couple spent 14 days in Kyoto, Hakone and Tokyo with AI as their travel assistant. Before the trip it grilled him one question at a time instead of handing over a plan, and built a private offline trip page for their phones with day cards, booking codes, train guides and taxi cards showing the hotel address in Japanese. During the trip he ran it from his phone: after they caught a later train he asked for the day to be re-timed and got new times, an updated app and moved calendar events in a couple of minutes. One stop was added without anyone checking it was open, and it was not; after that every stop got checked on the venue's own site first.

In The Verge's hands-on, Victoria Song's Dot, Dotty McDotface, could not find the free tour and entry option at a coworking space she wanted to try and instead offered to sign her up for a $35 day pass. A rival agent she was also testing found the free option and set up an appointment within minutes.
