MBI asked the AI to recommend five accommodations within a two-hour drive, factoring in past Airbnb stays; the AI reviewed his history and analyzed saved Instagram Reels to pin his preferences, then browsed like a real person. When he spotted a farmhouse and asked if he could book it directly, the AI confirmed within a minute that booking direct was 60% cheaper than Airbnb — after which he sold his Airbnb shares.
Travel creator jordentually had her AI analyze her Instagram content and produce a decade-long itinerary scheduling visits to all 197 countries month by month from 2027 through December 2036 — a concrete multi-year roadmap for her stated 197-country goal.
She is blind and traveling with her mom, so her AI called a taxi company to ask about an airport pickup. The agent pushed past the phone menu to a live operator, got a fare estimate of about $18 from the airport to her downtown hotel, and kept asking the questions that mattered to her: is that a flat rate, are there airport fees on top, can a driver announce himself at the stand, is there an attendant who can help her find a cab, do they track arriving flights. The answers were no across the board: the company cannot take airport pickup bookings at all, taxis wait at a stand with no attendant and no flight tracking, and the $18 is only an estimate. She shared the full transcript.
The AI opened Chrome logged into two credit cards and a bank app and downloaded everything matching criteria to populate a travel split app.
Threads user adambader reported saving $600 by having the AI monitor already-booked flights and hotels for lower prices — distinct from the Reddit price-drop rows in the earlier scans.
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.
Threads creator hashtaglima had the AI watch a booked hotel reservation; when the rate dropped, the AI rebooked the exact same hotel, room, and dates at the lower price, saving $179 — and the creator verified the saving with the hotel itself.
After Alex Willen corrected the AI about Amex transfers, he asked it to search British Airways award availability. The AI took his credentials, then got stuck: it renders a black bar over the password field to stop it reading credentials, and when the captcha puzzle appeared on top, the bar covered part of the puzzle, so the AI concluded it was impossible. Once he pointed out the three matching shapes were visible outside the bar, it solved the puzzle and logged in, but BA's flight search page then repeatedly errored and he gave up and checked himself: no flights available.
The AI found the user a car ferry from Croatia to Italy, avoiding $2,200 in rental drop-off fees, booked and paid for it, pulled the plate and car model from the rental agreement, and confirmed he was insured for the voyage.
Per an X post cited by hoteloperations.com: a user had the AI plan an anniversary trip to a hotel in upstate New York; when the AI spotted heavy rain on the booked dates, he asked it to email the hotel to move the stay — and it worked.
