Meta employee Han Fang said the AI went back and forth in Japanese with a hotel in Hakone to book a dinner slot that wasn't listed on the hotel's website — a language-barrier negotiation for off-menu inventory.
A United flyer in a status match challenge had the AI set up an agent that checks his Gmail for upcoming flights and adds the bookings he expects to take. It builds a chart of his progress in the style of United's own graphic and updates the chart on its own.
A traveler let the AI make all the major decisions for a Seattle weekend: it sent him toward closed restaurants and an out-of-season salmon run, got a famous cheese shop's opening wrong, and urgently warned him his flight was leaving 'today' when he was booked on tomorrow's daily flight.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
During the mid-August Massachusetts tax holiday, the reviewer made 2 Best Buy purchases via the American Airlines mileage shopping portal and did not get the miles. He asked the AI to file missing mileage claims, access the receipt data from Gmail, and save a PDF of the Best Buy email receipts to Google Drive.
Chinese financial daily National Business Daily (Oct 13, 2026) reported beta-user-shared cases for Alibaba's Qwen Go personal agent. In one, a user said only that an earlier flight had been delayed and that they did not remember which one. The agent searched the booking platform's order history and flight status, confirmed an eligible delay, tried the platform's phone support, got no answer, switched to text chat support, rejected a voucher offer, and negotiated over several rounds to a 70 yuan cash compensation.
The AppleVis reviewer told the AI he knew he had unused Southwest credits and wanted to use them to book a flight to Nashville. The AI located the credits and autonomously booked the flight.
A man applying for a UK visa needed his travel history from many years back. He had saved a filled in form from the last application but could not remember where. He asked the AI to find it. The AI worked out possible dates and file types, then went through his files checking each one.
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.
Planning a family holiday in Florida, Eric opened a voice call with Jarvis about skydiving availability. By the end they had worked through airport pickup, three jumpers split across two aircraft loads, two boys waiting on the ground, drive time and the rental check-in, and slotted the jump into otherwise dead travel-transition time. When he pushed back on an early Everglades start, the plan moved and the shareable itinerary updated with it.
