Use ChatGPT Agent for travel, groceries, and dining

Commenters said ChatGPT Agent could mirror a flight booking, place an Instacart order, and secure a restaurant table, but only sometimes.

What they did
In a discussion meant to push the tool, one commenter fed ChatGPT Agent a flight confirmation image and entered their own details right away; the agent then arranged the same trip. That same person said they also had it buy groceries through Instacart. Another commenter reported success getting a restaurant reservation, while most other attempts in the thread fell short.
How it went
The thread showed scattered successes rather than dependable performance. The original poster said shopping, trip planning, and reservations usually broke down, and the agent could also hit a 40-query cap.
Tips
Give the agent complete trip or order details at the outset, but still verify every final page yourself. Use a pause before any payment, booking, or submission so you can confirm the details first.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

I want help with one of these tasks: arrange a flight using [travel details], place an Instacart grocery order from [store] using [shopping list], or book a table at [restaurant] in [city] for [party size] on [date and time]. Review the options, choose the best fit for [budget or preferences], and stop before any payment or final submission. Show me the last screen and ask for my approval before you confirm anything.

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