A Facebook carousel compares airfare for an ATL→FAY round trip on Oct 10–12, 2026: the AI interface lists Delta options at $358.80 with a 'Book with AI' button (nonstop outbound DL5515), while Delta's own Flexible Dates grid shows a lowest price of $549 per passenger for the same dates — a ~$190 gap on identical basic fares.
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.
For an upcoming two-night stay in New York City, the AI checks IHG, Hyatt and Marriott every day across cash rates, corporate rates and points, calculates points-versus-cash redemption values, and alerts him when his price drops or another nearby hotel of interest opens up.
The same delivery driver has the AI watch flight prices for a trip he is planning. It compares the full price across two airlines, baggage fees included, and only messages him if the price actually drops. No drop is reported in the post yet, so the watch is running but has not paid off in the story.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A man camping in southern Utah woke up to three urgent messages from the AI telling him to get back to town, even though he had not set it to watch the weather. He left, and says he would have been stuck in the desert otherwise.
Stuck in Manhattan with three hours to fill after a drop-off, Eric planned the afternoon with Jarvis by voice while driving. He gave it a mood instead of a destination — a break from technology, maybe by looking at art about technology — and it weighed a museum, galleries and an observation deck, then came back with a walking route through Chelsea galleries. At the end of the call he told it to put the route in his calendar, and it did.
A man used AI to plan a weekend trip to Vegas with elderly family, shortlisting dining and events around dietary restrictions. The AI also built a web app dashboard for the trip and handled the payment splitting: he told it what each person spent for the group, it kept running totals split three ways, and when a Venmo email arrived saying someone had sent money, it updated the balance sheet by itself.
Filing travel reimbursement, the author realized he never got his hotel receipt. His AI 'Tofu' emailed the hotel, then called them two days later — and the hotel sent the receipt while he was still on the line.
He asked the AI to write a short email to his hotel asking for a better rate. The front desk called him back and dropped the room from $330 to $240 a night, saving $90 a night, and he says the whole thing took about 30 seconds of his time.
Chelsea Yamase documented the AI re-planning her Sardinia trip after a rental-car breakdown: re-routing through the mountains, choosing a boutique hotel near a boat launch, and booking restaurants via WhatsApp in Italian. The AI also monitored flights and deliveries and emailed about customs.
