Find an in-network dentist with a browser agent
The poster used Operator to search for and find a dentist in their insurance network. ·
Done withOperator
- What they did
- The poster gave Operator a plain-language prompt with the insurance name, PPO plan, city, and ZIP code: find a cheap teeth cleaning in San Francisco that takes Red Cross of Alabama healthcare. Operator used the browser and returned two named dentists with addresses and phone numbers; the poster did not share a video because logging in exposed sensitive information.
- How it went
- It produced two leads, but commenters who checked them found errors: one listing had the wrong address and phone number, and another commenter said the first dentist did not seem to take that insurance or accept new patients.
- Worth knowing
- The useful catch is that human verification was still necessary, because the thread's follow-up checks said Operator's dentist matches were inaccurate.
Try it yourself with Operator
