Have Grok Bot help with a flight search and booking
Debbie O'Brien had Grok Bot try to handle a flight reservation, but it stopped just before the end.
- What they did
- Debbie O'Brien put Grok Bot in the role of a travel agent and asked it to work on booking her flights. She shared a video that walks through the attempt, though the brief post itself does not spell out the exact actions the bot took. What succeeded and what failed is only shown in the recording.
- How it went
- She called it the closest she had seen to a strong experience, but the booking still did not finish. The last step was missing, so no reservation was completed.
- Tips
- If you want to copy the approach, watch the full video first because the written post leaves out the details. For any booking flow, stop the agent before payment or final confirmation.
