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.
The same delivery driver has the AI watching flight prices for a trip he is planning. It compares all in totals across two airlines including baggage fees, and only messages him if a price actually drops. The rule he set is silence unless something qualifies, which he says is the part that makes the watch usable.
Sayer PM had the AI book and pay airport parking with Tesla charging, give fall-break flight advice, and compare Ace vs Lowe's prices straight from a receipt photo.
A creator who flies business class but refuses typical prices named her AI 'Miles' and asked it to track business-class fares from Los Angeles to Rome under $2,000 one-way, with flexibility for SFO or SEA. Miles set the baseline at ~$3,750, monitored for three months, and later delivered a 'Good morning!' briefing with five Icelandair fares under $2k from SEA and SFO to Rome.
Leo Batistella (Portuguese-language creator) showed a chat where his AI listed his itinerary — Oct 9 Bali to Shanghai, Oct 10 Shanghai to Singapore (early morning), Oct 11 connecting in Singapore to Toronto without leaving the airport — then questioned whether the Singapore-Toronto leg was Oct 11 or Nov 11, noting his Toronto hotel is booked Nov 11-15. Without being asked, the agent checked his ticket and confirmed the flight is in October, not November.
He says he uses AI to find the cheapest tickets for events he knows he wants to attend. Its feed also told him about an event by a favorite artist of his. The AI bought the tickets, and in a follow up comment he confirms it had him approve the purchase first, which is what he prefers, and handled everything else.
Skift tested agents booking hotel rooms: The AI failed to retrieve rates and returned a 'Something went wrong' message on Hilton's Times Square page even after logging in with loyalty credentials, while Instinct succeeded across Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt. Hilton says it isn't blocking agents — the failures read as technical.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The reviewer is signed up for a Southwest promotion: 20,000 points for eight one-way trips by October. He asked the AI to check Rapid Rewards activity, find flights in the travel period, and cross-reference Gmail receipts to verify they had the corporate ID required for the promotion.
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.
