Find a stylist and prep a salon appointment
A CNET reporter had ChatGPT's agent research stylists and request booking details, but stopped it before it booked.
Done withChatGPT Agent
- What they did
- The reporter used a paid ChatGPT account, switched on Agent mode, and asked for a balayage hairdresser in Montclair NJ or NYC with a price cap. She watched the agent browse live and added a correction mid-run. She then had it sort options by price and rank stylists at one salon. It offered to book, but she held back.
- How it went
- The search took 9 minutes and returned prices with notes and source screenshots. She was impressed, but she wouldn't hand over sensitive details and would take over at booking.
- Worth knowing
- The agent pauses for payment details and wants your confirmation before submitting. The reporter still wouldn't give it personal details, and it's in beta.
