- What they did
- Boris Cherny put his flight preferences in Cowork instructions and let Opus 4.7 book while he kept working in Claude Code. The guide's setup is Claude in Chrome with browser actions allowed, an Expedia connector, and a Flight Booker project. Claude researches three options, a person approves one, then Claude fills in traveler details, loyalty numbers and seats, and stops at payment.
- 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.
- Worth knowing
- Handing over card details is the risky part. The author suggests 1Password for agents rather than pasting credentials into instructions, and finds Expedia research works best before switching to the browser to book.
