Let a cloud agent reserve a table for you
Dots found a restaurant and completed the booking on its own from a cloud computer.
- What they did
- A user started the task in ChatGPT Pro and let OpenAI’s Dots agent take over a cloud computer with screen access. The agent looked up possible places and handled the reservation without any extra human input while it ran.
- How it went
- The table was successfully booked by the agent. The process was slow, and it still required a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
- Tips
- Use it when you want the agent to browse and reserve without stepping in, but expect it to take time. Always ask it to pause before any final confirmation so you can review the details first.
Try it yourself with Dots
Find and reserve a table for [party size] at [restaurant name, cuisine, or neighborhood] on [date] at about [time]. Search the restaurant’s booking page and any common reservation sites, compare the available options, and summarize them for me. Before you submit the reservation, stop and show me the exact booking details, including the date, time, party size, and contact info, so I can approve them first.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
