What they did
A custom agent, @hey__fo, was set loose on a hotel booking task for two rooms across five nights in Japan. It made the call on its own and handled the back-and-forth with the hotel staff. The user did not join in live and only checked the full recording later.
How it went
The agent got the hotel to agree to the same two rooms for the entire five-night stay. The call worked without any real-time help from the user.
Tips
For tasks like this, make the room count, dates, and acceptable price range very clear. Tell the agent to stop and ask before accepting any booking details that would lock you in.

Call [hotel name] at [phone number] and ask whether they can reserve [number] rooms of the same type for all [number] nights from [start date] to [end date], aiming for a rate near [target price]. Be polite, compare any alternatives they offer, and pause to ask for my approval before you accept any booking, give payment details, or confirm anything irreversible. After the call, send me a short summary plus the recording or transcript.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
