The AI ran their 14 day Japan trip live, re-timing days from his phone

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.

Plan my whole Seattle weekend - and get the day of my flight wrong

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.

The AI proactively caught a travel-date mismatch: questioned whether his Singapore-to-Toronto flight was

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.

Book my flight from a photo of my credit card

An X user sent the AI a photo of their credit card and the bot completed the entire flight booking on a confusing airline website, returning a booking confirmation. Elon Musk replied publicly that SpaceX would make users whole if the AI ever made a purchase mistake or leaked card details.

TravelPartly worked

Booked a Midtown restaurant for two and synced it to the calendar,

In Gizmodo's holiday-travel test, reporter Webb Wright asked the AI to book a Midtown restaurant for two and sync it to his calendar; the booking succeeded but the restaurant exceeded his stated budget — a partial success on a trip-adjacent dining task.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
