Book a restaurant with a cloud-computer agent
OpenAI's Dots agent, running on its own cloud computer, booked a restaurant on its own, though it was slow and required ChatGPT Pro.

- What they did
- OpenAI's Dots agent ran on its own cloud computer with screen takeover access. It researched options and booked a restaurant independently after the user launched the task through ChatGPT Pro. No further human steps occurred during execution.
- How it went
- The booking succeeded on its own. It proved slow and still required a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
- Worth knowing
- Needs ChatGPT Pro and runs slowly.

Check availability on their booking page or reservation sites, and tell me the options you find. Pause and show me the exact reservation details before you confirm anything or enter my contact info, and stop once I have a confirmation to review.
