G Schwartz had the AI list and sell his Yeat Central Park concert tickets on StubHub, with the agent handling the listing through credentials found in email. The tickets sold.
Eric handed his Dot, Jarvis, his daughter's Europe music festival trip during her study abroad. Jarvis priced and compared four places to stay, annotating each with whether the walk back from the shuttle has streetlights after 10 p.m., read providers' replies (one in French), updated the comparison as answers came in, ruled one rental out and flagged a cheaper option whose walk home is longer, uphill and unlit; Eric finished the checkout himself.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
In the same Rome-trip demo, Nina Dobrev's agent 'Jack' tracked flight prices from multiple cities (LAX, JFK, ORD, YYZ) totaling $7,472.74 and curated Instagram posts about Rome from people she follows.
In a Yahoo Finance 'In The Loop' segment, the interviewee recounts being stranded after a 7-hour delay, opening the AI, and asking it to file for compensation. On-screen graphics show the AI searching flights and submitting a complaint to Delta with his SkyMiles number.
The reviewer asks the AI for the current location of a flight, the progress of a rideshare trip shared through an HTTP link, and an analysis of Boston weather-radar precipitation, getting visual information back as spoken answers.
Over one weekend, Paul Pruitt's partner Melissa used AI extensively as a personal assistant: booking Disney park reservations, securing multiple dinner reservations, and monitoring availability for sold-out items — part of the same Facebook post where he reports adopting the AI for business market research and nearly $700/month in savings.
A man asked the AI to log into AA.com and United.com to check his tickets. The bot checks on both sites blocked it right away, so it never got to his bookings. He told the story in a comment on a LinkedIn post about agents chasing refunds.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Engadget reporter Karissa Bell asked the AI to help research a potential multi-city international trip later in the year, giving it timing and a nonstop-flights-only preference. The AI returned flight options from her city, set up a price tracker to monitor costs at regular intervals, suggested how to order the route, and recommended considering a multi-city ticket so she could depart from a different airport than she flew into.
While Dan Shipper's Dot displayed research for changing his flight out of San Francisco, it warned the new option might overlap with his head of video's Wednesday morning recording. The recording was not on Shipper's calendar — the Dot had read an unseen Slack discussion, clocked the proposed schedule and alerted him at the moment it mattered; the rest of the column is paywalled.
