The reviewer asks the AI for the current location of a flight, the progress of a rideshare trip shared through an HTTP link, and an analysis of Boston weather-radar precipitation, getting visual information back as spoken answers.
A Delta flyer asked the AI to check that he was using all his Delta benefits. The AI could not get past the robot check screen on delta.com, even when he took over the browser and clicked it himself. Every login try was blocked.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The same AI setup watches a man's work train travel and sends him updates on delays and platform changes. When his train is delayed, it applies for the delay compensation by itself, with no claim form work from him.
Travel advisor Marissa Waiters reports the AI scanned her email inbox and located 18 free night vouchers, then organized and filed them for easy access — travel value that was effectively lost in the inbox.
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.
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 whose AI assistant has its own email and phone number uses it to run group trips with 4 to 15 people. It splits bills, gathers everyone's Venmo details, and runs signups for activities like horseback riding, so the organising work comes off his plate.
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.
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.
