Top Travel & Bookings use cases
Save the best local restaurants as a Google Maps list
Before a vacation, ChatGPT agent picked 10 restaurants, paused for his Google login, then saved a Maps list with signature-dish notes in about 23 minutes.
How it went The task finished in about 23 minutes and the list was saved. The author doesn't say how good the picks were. He calls the agent slow and not fully hands-off.
Book flights and hotels, stopping at payment for approval
Claude Cowork drove the browser through Claude in Chrome to book 8 flights and 5 hotels, filling traveler details and seats and pausing at payment for approval.
How it went Cherny said Opus 4.7 one-shotted 8 flights and 5 hotels. The author has only tried the research step, not payment, and says Claude in Chrome is finicky.

Plan and book a short-notice work trip
Grok Bot researched flights and booked the one Vince picked, though he had to take over the computer to fill in data and found it harder than booking himself.
How it went Hotel proved convenient with restaurant and grocery nearby; $15 train to site and $5 back for sightseeing worked without issues. User reported saving hours of research and stress, avoided car rental, and found the trip seamless overall.
Book an airport hotel with ChatGPT Agent
Author had ChatGPT Agent pick and book a Gatwick hotel on Booking.com; it reached the card confirmation screen, then needed the author to take over.
How it went Three Gatwick runs each picked the hotel he would have chosen, taking 5-10 minutes each. Stansted worked too. Reykjavík failed until he dropped the air-conditioning filter. The agent made minor errors, such as a wrong star rating.

Handle restaurant reservations over WhatsApp
The author built a WhatsApp agent for a local restaurant that checks availability, answers questions and confirms bookings; one paying customer so far.
How it went They say they have one paying restaurant customer so far. The main shortfall is distribution: after sending more than 1,000 cold emails, most restaurants either did not reply or rejected the idea.

Call the DMV to schedule an appointment with a voice agent
Olivia Moore built a voice agent in under 30 minutes that phoned the DMV and scheduled an appointment for her.
How it went It scheduled the appointment after one or two prompt tweaks; each call cost under $0.40 and logs showed it navigated the system well enough to succeed.

Plan family vacations with Deep Research
Author uses ChatGPT Deep Research with detailed family prompts to find destinations, attractions and schedule trips; it can't yet filter and book accommodation.
How it went The author calls it invaluable, with very few mistakes and more flexibility and understanding than past travel agents, and it surfaced unfamiliar places abroad. It can't yet find, filter, compare or book accommodation reliably.

Book a restaurant table with Alexa+
A reviewer asked Alexa+ to book a sushi restaurant, but it couldn't because the restaurant isn't on OpenTable; he also tried booking an Uber.
How it went The booking failed. The restaurant uses Resy rather than OpenTable, which is Alexa+'s only reservation partner, so Alexa+ just gave him the phone number. The Uber order worked seamlessly.
